Apple released an Mac OS X update 10.5.6 that seems to disable your Mac from detecting your iPhone or iPod Touch in DFU mode. Unfortunately this is critical if you are using PWNAGE or QuickPWN on your Mac to unlock your iPhone or jailbreak your iPhone 3G and Touch. This is also bad news if the new iPhone 3G method will require DFU mode to load a custom unlocked ipsw via iTunes.

MuscleNerd from the Dev Team has stated that one work around is the following:

The simplest workaround I’ve heard of for the DFU issue is to copy one or two of the 10.5.5 frameworks files over the newer ones.

Seeing that I have already updated my Mac Mini and my new MacBook Aluminum probably already has OS X 10.5.6 I will be faced with this problem myself and will be sure to post a fix as soon as I find one. Stay tuned for more info.
