If the Macbook is new then you cant jailbreak it. I read somewhere that apple did something to the new macbooks to where you cant jailbreak using them. Sucks but you should try it on a different computer.

The Dev-Team at QuickPwn.com posted this:

If you?re using MAC 105.6 you won?t be able to get into DFU Mode but here is how you can do this:

- 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 - Apple Developer Connection - Mac Dev Center
- 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).
- Install IOUSBFamily-315.4.1.pkg from within the disk image
- Reboot your system!

I haven't tried it since I don't own a Mac yet, but I heard it works.

I would say try QuickPwn with the custom firmware. See if that works. I am on Windows and use QuickPwn all the time; no issues whatsoever.
