Have MAC OSX 10.5.6 or aMAC Book slim? You have a problem entering DFU mode. Here is an easy
fix from the dev-team blog:
1. You will need an account with ADC (Apple Developer Connection) this is free and takes a
few minutes to sign up, you should read the terms and conditions carefully and you should
only sign up if you are thinking of developing applications in the future –

2. Download the disk image “IOUSBFamily Log release for Mac OS X 10.5.5 Build 9F33” (yes,
that is a “5” in 10.5.5 – this is a developer debug package of the USB kernel extension).
3. Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image
4. Reboot your system!
