This kind of error has happened a few times recently; did you install Final Cut?


In your System Library a framework seems to be missing: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager



Open your System Library and look if the PluginManager.framework really is missing.

(to open your Library use the FInder "Go" menu:

Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder

and enter /Library

)


If the framework really is missing, the safest way to restore it is to reinstall the Operating System using an update combo, see:

Hi Léonie,


Thank you so much for your advice, yes I have recently installed Final Cut Express and PluginManager.framework does appear to be missing, my only querry with your suggestion is the latest update combo is for 10.6.7 and I am running 10.6.8, will this still do the job? I've never used an update combo before so I am a little nervous! thank you again for taking the time to help me.

Kind regards,

Annie...

There is a 10.6.8 Combo Update at the Apple Support page: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1


Does that link not work for you? If you upgrade using the 10.6.7 Combo you will have to run the Software Update from the Apple Menu immediately to update to 10.6.8 after you reinstall from the 10.6.7 combo update.

Léonie
