ShapeShifter actually is an emulator. It's not like say, Wine, whereas you can run programs on your host desktop. It boots to a MacOS desktop, and things run from there either on a windowed or full-screen mode.
If you have a hard time mounting the MacOS floppy images under UAE, try installing something like CrossMac on the Workbench and see what it makes of the Mac floppy images after that.

It's not a full emulator: it doesn't emulate the 680x0 CPU or the Mac custom chips. It's uses virtualisation techniques if I'm not mistaken, so Mac OS software runs natively on the Amiga CPU & chipset. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It doesn't have to emulate the 680x0 CPU, it's a hardware part that's already there from the Amiga itself. Runs according to your Amiga specs, some say it runs even better than actual 68k Macs if your gear is good.
