For those who didn't know, you can not run exe. applications on a mac. This is a problem because all xbox 360 modding programs (modio, horizon, etc.) wont work. I recently got a mac and learned and this is how you do it.

Step 3: Open the "VirtualBox.dmg" and double click the "Virtualbox.mpkg" and follow the instructions.
Step 4: Go to you applications and open Virtualbox
Step 5: After running Virtualbox, click on New then type in Windows 7 in the name section and click next.
Step 6: On the next page set the memory size to anywhere between 750 and 2000 depending on how much memory you have on your mac then click next. I put mine at 775.
Step 7: Then click next on the Hard Drive, Hard drive file type, and the Storage on Physical Hard Drive and click next.
Step 8: On the the File and Location page, set the gigabyte number in-between 16 gb and 30 gb, depending on your how much memory you have. Do not go under 16 gb. Windows 7 requires 16 gb to start. For me, I did 20 gb. Then click create.
Step 9: Double click the Windows 7 that is on the home page to power on and follow the installation instructions for windows.
Step 10: Once Windows has installed you need to download and install the Virtualbox expansion pack.

Step 11: Once it has installed, you can run Windows on Mac.
Step 12: You want to go to devices (which is on your help bar [the bar that has safari, file, edit, view history]) and click install guest additions and click back into the virtualbox window.
Step 13: Back on your windows screen, the install guest additions should come up and you should run it. If it does not, go to Documents, Computer, and click on the C Drive: Virtualization Guest Additions the click on the final document and run.
Step 14: Once it had finshed running exit out and your finished. Go and download Modio or Horizon, or any other modding program.

Step 15: There are two ways of getting the usb to work in Virtualbox.
Way 1: Insert usb into computer and open up Virtualbox. Then click once on your windows 7 and then click settings. Once in settings go to ports and then usb. Make sure the Enable Usb Controller and Enable USB 2.0 controller. Then click the green plus sign and click on your usb.
Way 2: Insert usb into computer and open up Virtualbox. Then click once on your windows 7 and then click settings. Once in settings go to shared folders. Click the plus sign on the side and open up the folder path and click other. Then click your usb and then check the auto-mount box.
