I just got a Raspberry Pi 3 and am having trouble booting it up.
I bought a microSD card, and followed this guide to install Ubuntu for it https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/start/raspberry-pi-2/
However, when plugging the microSD card into the Pi and plug in the power cord (I used this power kit https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MARDJZ4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), it's stuck at the screen with the 4 color patches (I left it on for hours). The red light is on, and the other light is orange (yellow?).
I then tried to erase the microSD card with Disk Utility on my Mac to the MS-DOS (FAT) format, and then plugged it into the Pi again to boot up. Nothing happens, the HDMI does not have any output, and only the red light is lit.I then tried to erase the microSD card with Disk Utility on my Mac to the MS-DOS (FAT) format, and then plugged it into the Pi again to boot up.

I am completely new to this so apologies if this is a noob/ basic question. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: Thanks to @SteveRobillard suggestion, I am able to get Raspbian working. Still no idea why Ubuntu Snappy instruction is not?
