Trying to make a working Live Kali Linux USB on a Macbook Air early 2015

As you guys already know I am using a macbook air 2015 which i bought recently. The problem is that I have used basically every method i have found online, yes i have used the dd method as well. Every single time, i get a blank screen when i select EFI boot which is my bootable drive on the boot screen. I'm using the kali 1.1.0 amd64 iso, OSX Yosemite and I have actually tried loading the 1.0.9 iso as well with no luck, same problem, i get taken to a blank screen after i select efi boot. Getting very frustrated because i was able to make a bootable usb for my PC using an old windows 7 pc that i have with the same amd64 iso file. Does anybody know what I might be doing wrong or maybe my hardware is not compaitible?

Thanks in advance

the efi boot will not work. you need to install a boot manager. download refind from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/

open terminal and navigate to the downloaded folder.
type 'ls' and among the files listed should be 'install.sh'
type 'sudo ./install.sh --notesp'
reboot
