Thanks!

I have the same issue. Any suggestions?

Try to run automator script or use powered usb hub to pass the dfu issue on a 10.5.6 mac...

If that method is not working, try this one.

1. Turn the iPhone or iPod OFF.
2. Plug in the USB cable into the computer, but not into the phone.
3. Hold HOME and POWER buttons
4. As soon as you are holding the HOME and POWER buttons, plug in the USB connector.

iPhone will now enter DFU mode and iTunes should recognize it.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I actually got it not long after my post and am now in the process of unlocking/jailbreaking. Slowly but still I'm trying.

Hold home + power with one hand? No problem for me anyways.
