When trying to use iMessage Share with iPhoto i got this message "couldn't communicate with a helper application"

I was trying to use imessage to share a photo with iPhoto.  I go the message "couldn't communicate with a helper application"
My iMessage works fine for everything else.  I am currently running yosemite and every app has been updated.
I restarted the macbook pro and i didn't resolve the situation.  Is anyone else having this issue?

Are you getting that message window after clicking on the "+" button to access your Contacts?
That's what happens to me.  I know of now way to fix it. 
My workaround is to create a new message in Messages and drag the photo from the iPhoto window into the message section of a new message and use the "+" button there to get the address to use

  • My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.

    My computer freezes up when trying to upload photo book from iPhoto '11. This happens during the upload process.
    When this happens I need to close down the computer and restart.
    Any ideas ?
    I've got Mountain Lion running.
    I'm on a 13" white MacBook with 8GB RAM installed.
    I recently had a 1 TB hard disc installed at the Apple store.

    can you preview it? -
    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
    If that works fine and you still have problems boot into safe mode and try again

    Efter att ha försökt att använda annat wifi fick jag samma problem dvs. kunde fortfarande inte göra uppdatering av mina appar. Jag prövade att ta bort flera stycken av dessa men det var ingen skillnad. På resa med ytterligare ett annat wifi lyckades det helt plösligt, vet inte varför. Får se om det blir samma problem nästa gång jag blir uppmanad att uppdatera appar.

  • I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it. Nice.

    I attempted to open iPhoto and got this message: you can't open the application because it may be damaged or incomplete. Now the iPhoto icon has a little line through it.
    Nice. Shall I say goodbye to my treasured iPhoto library? What happened?
    I did just upgrade my iPhone to OS 5. Could that be related somehow?
    Help!

    1. Back up your iPhoto Library - you should always have a back up anyway.
    Most Simple Back Up
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex:
    Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically. Examples of such apps: Chronosync or DejaVu . But are many others. Search on MacUpdate
    2. Reinstall
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

  • TS3694 When trying to download itunes onto my PC I get this message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' failed to start. Veryify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.

    ON my PC, I attempted to download the update to itunes. It gave me an error message that I wasn't able to do that (and I don't recall the exact words) but telling me to delete the old itunes and download the new update, so I did. But now when I try to update the new itunes, I keep getting this message: Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services! It won't allow me to go any further! How do I fix this? What is the problem?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    First try exporting a self-contained movie from FCP, the using the resulting file in Compressor.  To do it, go to File->Export->QuickTime Movie (do NOT use QuickTime Conversion).  In the export window, check the self-contained option but do not "recompress all frames."
    Once the export is finished, launch Compressor then use the self-contained file as the source.  If that fails, you may want to try using theis: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/compressorrepair/

  • When trying to set up my time machine I get this message:  Airport Utility was unable to find any airport wireless devices.  I am connected to the internet.  What's the problem?

    I'm trying to set up my time capsule.  I'm having trouble. Please help

    Hi Angela,
    Had (and having) the same issue from Windows 7 on my TimeCapsule (TC) ..... Not sure how to fix it but I have a workaround:
    1) Make sure you are getting your internet connectivity from the TC instead of your ISP's modem (turn off wifi on the ISP's modem)
    2) go to windows menu and type CMD on the search box, that should get you a black screen. Type IPCONFIG and note the numbers on the Gateway (mine is 192.168.1.1)
    3) Open Airport utility and go to File > Configure other
    4) Type the Gateway from step 2 and your TC password (if you didn't change it, it should be the serial number f your TC, found on the bottom sticker)
    5) you should be able to see yout TC settings.
    Hope it helps. I had a big headache when setting TC on my Windows laptop.... (but none on my Macbook) :-)  Good luck!

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this and get the game up and running??

    Are you sure that you have the Mac version, as there is a Windows version, as well as a few game console versions.
    Sounds as though that may be a Windows or other version.
