Mac Catalina Couldn't communicate with a helper application

Fix for 'Mac Catalina Couldn't communicate with a helper application' is easy. no need to reload OS or upgrade anything.

It appears during the install of the Catalina OS, TV & Photo directory have not been set again.


Simply open the following from Launchpad:


1- Music

2- TV

3- Podcast

4- Photo


Complete each one of above configuration and set their directories.


The issue will go away when you disconnect the iPad/iPhone then connect. This worked for me and it was the quickest and easiest fix. I am surprised Apple has not released anything about this potential fix.


iPad, iOS 9
