Simple help request

NAP1947

I have a Raspberry Pi3, HifiBerry Dac+ Pro, and use a Mac.
I am trying to flash the SD Card using Mac Terminal and cannot seem to get the syntax correct.
I am using-
dd bs=1m if=/Norm Files and Apps/Desktop/RuneAudio_rpi02_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB.img of=/dev/disk4

I get the following error "dd: unknown operand Files"

I searched for this on the net and then added single quotes before if and after .img.
This resulted in this error, "dd: bs: illegal numeric value"

I am not skilled at terminal use and syntax so I imagine that is what I am doing wrong, I could not find a way to do this without using Terminal.

Any help and suggestions great appreciated.

Hi NAP1947,

I searched for this on the net and then added single quotes before if and after .img.

Only the path itself has to be in quotes.
Try the single quotes from behind the equal sign and after .img.

dd bs=1m if='/Norm Files and Apps/Desktop/RuneAudio_rpi02_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB.img' of=/dev/disk4

Thank you both for your help, I tried to make the terminal commands you suggested work without success, I am sure this is lack of experience as I am pretty new to the whole Raspberry Pi environment.
Anyway, the Raspberry Pi instructions for Installing Operating System Images on Mac OS first stated to try Etcher, which I had but forgot about.
Once frustrated with Terminal I used it and was successful, RuneAudio is now running on my RPi3.
Now on the using the system.
Cheers
