What i find works best on macs is go through a linux first. I have not had a
single mac not boot tails, but you need 3 usb devices.
download a linux youn like
burn it to a usb stick 1 or dvd
boot and install to usb stick 2
boot usb stick 2 and follow the install instructions of tails to install tails
from linux on usb stick 3
happy booting usb stick 3 on mac.

Hi,

There are multiple such directions. Can you please point us to the
exact web page you've followed, and at which exact step it's failing?
In other words, is this an "intermediary Tails" or one created with
Tails Installer?

This is expected if this is the "intermediary Tails" (which does not
support EFI boot), as opposed to one created with Tails Installer.

What's the "legacy loader"?

This might be the same issue as

Not as far as I know.

I can provide advice once you've answered my question above :)
