    This might be because i have downgraded from mountain lion to snow leopard. i have got 7.2.2 already.
    i have tried to uninstall it but i can't find prokit on my computer as it's file, i can only view it when i go to 'about this mac' and then to 'frameworks' where i cant actually access it

    Yes.. you cannot easily downgrade from one OS X to another without starting again from fresh..... otherwise you can easily get the sort of issues you are having.

     

    Solution.... (The short version)

     

    Make sure you have first got backups of all your personal data, projects, photos, music etc..... 

     

    Double check youn have saved all your personal data out.

     

    Ensure you have your Snow Leopard Installation disk(s) to hand..

     

    Boot to your SL installation disk..

     

    Reformat your hard drive using the Disk Utility found in the SL Install menu bar..

     

    Re-install Snow Leopard.

     

    Install Logic Pro 9, update to latest version and test.....

     

    If Logic will not launch then install that Prokit I gave you the link for...   and test again. Do not install it if Logic works ok..

     

    Install any drivers for audio/midi hardware if needed and ensure correct versions are installed for OS X version.

     

    Install all 3rd party plugins and apps..

     

    Manually transfer all personal data and projects etc... back to your newly setup Mac...

     

    Test again....

     

    Long version....

    Important Note: Do not use Migration Assistant but manually back up and restore all personal data etc....
