MACOS SECURITY PREFERENCES

macOS  security preference settings are very important when you need to use basehead with another application and often are the source of most issues with Spotting or transferring files from basehead into a DAW. Check the following settings on your system and ensure you have things setup correctly.

It’s also best to only run basehead from the  ‘Applications’ folder as required by Apple now to fire commands into another program

    Checking macOS Security Preferences

    Make sure basehead is set to control your computer in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Accessibility.   
    If it’s already in the list then remove it and re-add it if if un-toggling and re-toggling doesn’t work.

    basehead might need to be refreshed in System Preferences/Security & Privacy/Automation also but un-toggling and re-toggling it on.

    If using the LAN License Server (LLS) then make sure basehead is in ‘Local Network and refreshed.

    To fully nuke all your basehead macOS permissions and start over you should run the below commands in Terminal

    sudo tccutil reset All com.basehead.arm64
    OR     this for Intel processors
    sudo tccutil reset All com.basehead.x64

    OR you can individual remove some permissions for Accessibility and Automation with these commands via Terminal.  
    sudo tccutil reset Accessibility com.basehead.arm64
    sudo tccutil reset Accessibility com.basehead.x64

    sudo tccutil reset AppleEvents com.basehead.arm64
    sudo tccutil reset AppleEvents com.basehead.x64
