Q: DVD studio pro 4 crashes when I try to open a project file. Just upgraded to snow leopard.

Hey guys,

 

I am working with DVD studio pro 4 and it keeps crashing on me. It crashes when I try to open a project file through the top menu, it crashes when I click the "import" button on the assets tab, and it also crashes when I try to save a project file. I am using a legitimate copy and I have tried reinstalling it, repairing disc permissions, and updating it. Oh and also one big thing, I just recently upgraded to snow leopard.

 

Any fixes for this?

 

Thanks guys!

    This worked great for me as well!

     

    My rundown.

     

    I am currently on Studio 3 and running Snow Leopard. This is how I got it to work

     

    I first downloaded the 2 Prokit files as reccomended. links below.

     

    ProKit 5.0 -  http://support.apple.com/downloads/ProKit_5_0_for_Leopard__Mac_OS_X_10_5_

    ProKit 5.1 (You will first need to install 5.0 before running this)  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1008

     

    I then went to Macintosh HD/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks I noticed that there were two ProKit.framework folders in this location. they were ProKit.framework and ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework The only one I deleted was the ProKit.framework.

     

    Note: if you are having trouble completely emptying your trash download this and it will make sure to empty everything in your trash. http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/8214/trash-it!

     

    I then copied the previouly downloaded ProRuntime.dmg to a thumb drive so I could extract the info. Once the package was done extracting it gave me a folder on my thumb drive called system once you get to the bottom of the sysem folder you will see two folders one called BrowserKit.framework and the other ProKit.framework. From here I copied only the ProKit.framework folder over to the Macintosh HD/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks Folder. Once this was moved I ran the ProKitUpdate5.1.dmg from my desktop and all was rignt in the world.

     

    Hope this helped!

    I had the same problems after upgrading to snow leopard, and this worked. DVD Studio Pro 4 once again runs without crashing.

     

    However, now Aperture will not start because of a problem. If I reinstall the latest Aperture 3.2.3 update, will it undo everything I just did with reverting the ProKir.Framework?

    Replying to my own question. I tried the Aperture update, and got a message that it requires ProKit 6 to run.

     

    Anyone have any ideas what to do now?

    I found a solution. I don't know why, but apparently when I updated to ProKit 7 as part of the Snow Leopard updates, it didn't flush ProKit 6. So reverting to ver 5, then 5.1, then reinstalling ver 7 seems to have solved all the problems. So far...

    This post is very helpful and fixed my problem quickly and easily. Used the thumb drive message to install the Prokit Frameworks 5 on it. Then, transferred it to my PrivateFrameworks folder, then was able to update to 5.1. DVD studio pro hasn't been the same ever since (no crashing!).

     

    Thanks again!
