anyone seeing any issues after upgrading to El Capitan?

[mayersj1]

Noticed that Espionage wasn't showing up in my menubar after updating to El Capitan today.  The process showed up as running in Activity Monitor, but I'm unable to interact with it.

Any issues that I missed in the forums or blog?

Thanks,

[zsolt]

Hello our testings so far showed no problems.

Try to login with guest account and launch Espionage see if that will make it show up...

Thanks

All is working now. Oddly enough a second reboot fixed the issue. Thanks!

[zsolt]

If not the second, then the third :-), just a joke.

Thanks for letting me know.

I am actually getting a pop-up whenever I start (I've rebooted 3 times  :-\).  I can't figure out how to add the image of the pop-up but here's what it says:

   ERROR
   Couldn't establish communications with iSpy. Error 1.
   Try restarting  your computer and/or running
   Espionage.  EspionageHelper will quit now.

Hello, the error you mention is Espionage 2 related. You did not completely uninstall it.

You can manually remove all the files, here is a list:
Note that some files are in your home Library folder and some in your root Library folder. Your home Library folder is hidden since Lion, to enter into it from Finder, switch to Finder, hold down the option key and select Library from the list of "places to go".:

/Users/[your username]/Library/Application Support/Espionage
/Users/[your username]/Library/LaunchAgents/com.taoeffect.EspionageHelper.plist
/Users/[your username]/Library/Services/EspionageMenu.service (might not exist)
/System/Library/Extensions/iSpy.kext
/Library/iSpy
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.ispyd.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.Espionage.plist (might not exist)
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.taoeffect.Espionage (might not exist)

once you removed the files/folder, please reboot your Mac

Let me know if you get stuck.

Oh, I see.  Well, thank you for assisting Zsolt.

The only files I could find and delete were:

/System/Library/Extensions/iSpy.kext
/Library/iSpy
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.ispyd.plist

I can't seem to figure out how to do that trick you are mentioning about holding down the option key.  When do I hold it down and where is "places to go"?  Sorry.

NEVERMIND!  I Googled how to find this folder and found a helpful link (see below) then I was able to remove the first 3 files you mention and I'm fine now.  Thank you again.

I'm also having this problem:
ERROR
   Couldn't establish communications with iSpy. Error 1.
   Try restarting  your computer and/or running
   Espionage.  EspionageHelper will quit now.

I've tried deleting the files suggested by zsolt as above, but could only find some of them.  I've rebooted 3 times and still get this same message.  Any ideas what I can try to get Espionage working for me again?  Thank you!

Edited to add:  I tried reinstalling it but still getting error messages :/

[zsolt]

Hello,

can you please open terminal and paste each of the following commands one by one and hit enter after each one, then send me the complete output.

cd
ls -l ./Library/Application Support/Espionage
ls -l ./Library/LaunchAgents/com.taoeffect.EspionageHelper.plist
ls -l ./Library/Services/EspionageMenu.service
ls -l /System/Library/Extensions/iSpy.kext
ls -l /Library/iSpy
ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.ispyd.plist
ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.Espionage.plist
ls -l /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.taoeffect.Espionage

and note, once you removed the files, you do not reinstall. Espionage 2 will not work with OS X Maverick or newer, you will have to use Espionage 3 if you want to protect your files.

OK, sorry, I could have write the commands better, some errors are due to space in the path, and some folders do not contain files, just subfolders and the output is somewhat confusing, but if I'm not mistaken, some of those files are present...
./Library/LaunchAgents/com.taoeffect.EspionageHelper.plist
./Library/Services/EspionageMenu.service
/System/Library/Extensions/iSpy.kext
/Library/iSpy
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.taoeffect.ispyd.plist

so this is what you have to delete, to open a folder in the finder, if you do not want to navigate using Finder, (because user Library folder is hidden) then you can paste the folder path into terminal preceded with open command and when you hit enter, it will open that folder in Finder, for example...fist write

cd

to go into your home folder and then simply do this for each path:

open "./Library/LaunchAgents/"

hit enter...

I hope this helps

I only had the first two on this list.  I deleted those but am still getting the same error message.  But do I understand from your previous email that I can't use Espionage 2 anyway -- that I have to have Espionage 3 for El Capitan?  And if so, is there an upgrade or do I just have to purchase Espionage3? 

[zsolt]

If you wish we can do a remote session right now, but please hurry up as it is midnight over here. For Espionage 3 we can offer you 10% discount, at the time we released it, we informed all users and offered 50% discount but that one you missed.
if you wish to do the session, go to join.me URL, download the Mac client, click on start session (leave the radio button on one time code) and send me the 9 digits you get, I will connect and clean up those files for you, but as I said, pls be quick with sending me the session number

Hello,

I just upgraded to El Capitan and I am facing the following issue:

1/ Setup:
- MacBook El Capitan
- Mac Mini El Capitan with Espionage (very last version through menu's check updates)
- LAN network
- Protected sparsebundle on Mac Mini's drive A
- Mac Mini's drive A root is shared with Macbook

2/ Issue:
- AFP protocol share, Espionage drive closed => sparsebundle + every files/folders appear on both Mac Mini and Macbook
- AFP protocol share, Espionage drive opened  => mounted disc appears in Mac Mini's Finder (with all its content), but not on connected Macbook (other files/folders appear on both sides)
- SMB protocol share, Espionage drive closed => sparsebundle + every files/folders appear on both Mac Mini and Macbook
- SMB protocol share, Espionage drive opened => mounted disc appears in Mac Mini's Finder (with all its content), but on connected Macbook when trying to browse the Mac Mini's share the Finder hangs, cannot be restarted and in the end I have to force restart OS X with the alim button

=> The unlocked Espionage drive cannot be accessed over the network. With AFP protocol it does not appear, with SMB the Finder crashes. Other shared folders work normally (including Time Machine). Everything was working on Mountain Lion (both MacBook + Mac Mini).

Thanks in advance for your support.
Emmanuel

[zsolt]

Hello, let me test this further, I just did with Mini on 10.10 sharing root folder over afp, and MBAir on 10.11 and it works, so it seems it is the server side which creates problems.

I will let you know my results.
