Q: installed snow leopard now FCS2 apps won't work

I just upgraded to snow leopard and yes I know, it's about time, but this is why I don't upgrade unless I have too:-) Now, only FCP works and all other apps that I've tried (DVD studio pro, livetype, motion) "unexpectedly quit" as soon as I try to do "save as". I can type text into them but changing text color in Livetype causes the crash.

I've done a clean install of FCS2 and repaired permissions to no avail. I've tried searching for answers here and at google as I thought this would have been solved long ago but maybe I'm just not using the correct search terms as nothing helpful has been found.

thanks, Gary

Most likely, you have a ProKit version problem. Check out the link below

Thanks. I seem to be having a hard time following the instructions--I'm getting the message

"No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.ProAppRuntime' found at '/'.
gary-tompkinss-mac-pro:~ ilovemyremy$ "

when I type sudo pkgutil --forget com.apple.pkg.ProAppRuntime into the terminal. Maybe I'm supposed to?

One more question about the instructions—it says to copy older prokit.framework file to /system/library/privateframeworks, overwriting the newer one, but the files I downloaded are .dmg files, am I just supposed to install them and consider the file "overwritten"?

I'll also add that I see 2 prokit.frameworks, one is "prokit.framework" and the other is "ProKit(SnowLeopard).framework. Does that matter?

RatVega, ok started over and now everything looks like it's running just fine. I can't thank you enough for your help. Being a nob about this kind of stuff makes forums like these invaluable.

thanks again, gary
