WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
October 25, 2010 07:43PM
I just did Prokit update 6.0.1
Java for OSx 10.6 update 3
iwebupdate 3.0.2
and iTunes 10.0.1

And now FCP is hinky, Motion and Color won't open at all. I haven't tried STP, but that doesn't really work so much anyway. Next I'll flash e-prom.

Not having any problems with Motion or Color but a couple of my DVDSP projects now won't open and crash the app.

The crash was caused by the ProKit according to FCP Maintenance Pack Crash Analyser.

FCP seems a bit wobbly too - might be another issue as well.

Looks like a clean install and updates is on the cards this week.

Woo hoo! Just what I needed :|

Some people have managed to get it working by copying the old ProKit.framework from another computer or restoring it from a Time Machine backup.

My software:

Sounds like an update to avoid.

Yep, especially as it offers nothing new for Final Cut Studio.

Further DVDSP weirdness after ProKit 6.0.1 (SnowLeopard) update...

When importing previously working PSDs or PNGs it now comes up with an import error "Incompatible Format"

This also happens on some projects when I copy a working image file and change the name!!!

Apple what the [bleeeep] have you done?

Registered and posted - if you get on Skype I'll send over the crash logs and the problem if you want to look at them?

Unfortunately this won't work because ProKit is a separate update. I will be on Skype later - maybe I can send you my ProKit.framework (I haven't updated yet) and we'll see if that works.

I did the prokit also and i have stutter on round trip to&from color and i have also seen the png's and psd's kink a little (in Motion though). I never used time machine so i am just stuck.

My system drive is not backed up. I just back up media & projects.

Here is a solution, providing you can get hold of a copy of the older ProKit framework:

I'd love it if you could send me that file too
Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
October 28, 2010 03:11AM
is anyone interested in sending me an old "ProKit.framework" pre- prokit 6.0.1 update?

It's found in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks.

[dropbox.yousendit.com]

thnx.

I heard about these problems at last night's LAFCPUG meeting. I had updated to 6.0.1 and I haven't (touch wood) experienced any problems.

FCP, DVD SP, Soundtrack Pro, Motion all open fine. Should I just leave it alone, or do you think I should use Time Machine to go back to the old version anyway?

Any idea why some people have a problem, and others don't?

Why it effects some systems is a mystery that can't be solved without a look at multiple effected systems. If your system is working leave it alone. You can always go to your backup when there is a problem. You would just be making my mistake in reverse.

So annoying that I spent 2 days mucking with this when it should take 2 minutes. Thanks for that thing you sent me.

I'm not having these issues everything seems fine as far as I can tell.

I just had the same issues with DVDSP. Opened fine, working fine, then crashed, and now won't open at all. Prokit and Appkit are implicated in the logs. Pain in the ass.

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 19, 2010 06:34AM
Did you make a copy of the Framework first?

If not get on Skype and will send you a copy.

I've just downgraded to 5.1, but still crashing when I try to open the app now. I'm also on OS 10.6.5 now, so maybe the downgrade won't work at all. I can't find the receipts anymore.

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 19, 2010 07:09AM
Also I haven't been on skype so long I've forgotten my password! I had hoped this glitches would have been caught by the os upgrade. Sadly it seems not.

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 19, 2010 07:31AM
Did you follow these instructions?: [www.digitalrebellion.com]

I have 10.6.5 and the old ProKit works fine


Re Skype sign up a new one - tis free!

I'm trying a re-install of DVDSP with the 5.1 prokit in. I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 19, 2010 08:15PM
Two weeks ago apple contacted me and asked for my Hardware Profile in connection with this failure. So there might be an update coming.
Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 20, 2010 01:32AM
Well I just finished re-installing DVDSP and now it just sits on the splash screen for a while then quits. Officially buggered. I saw this on a macbook the other day - just sitting on the splash screen forever with nothing else happening, but thought it was machine specific. Obviously not.

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 22, 2010 06:33PM
FCP has failed now, which sucks. Crashes on opening just like DVDSP. It's possible it's another issue, I'll report back with logs for anyone interested when I have a minute. Meantime, my assumption is that the prokit upgrade i not really fun. Don't go there.

Too late. I went there and failed miserably. I couldn't open fcp, compressor, dvdsp etc. I just spent two days tinkering around and re-installing the os and fcp studio 3. Unfortunately I didn't see this thread until now. I thought it was something I was doing wrong and I was going insane because of it. Now I can sleep a little easier.

Good Night,

Jeff

OK got a minute and ran Jon Chappell's FCS Maintenance Pack and the problem is definitely ProKit. I've backtracked ProKit, run cleanups, re-installed DVDSP and still nada. Lucky for me I have another internal drive that runs a clean stable system, but if you're not backed up stay away from this update! Wonder if we should make this a sticky until there is a repair..

Re: WARNING - Just did Prokit update.
November 24, 2010 06:16PM
Someone commented on my blog post with the following steps that worked for them:

1. Delete the 6.1 ProKit.framework folder located in /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks

2. Download and install ProKit 5.0 from here: [support.apple.com]

3. Download and install ProKit 5.1 from here: [support.apple.com]
