MY WIRETAPE STUDIO does not work properly on OS X YOSEMITE.. Can anyone help me

I just tried it on Sierra and was able to drag the .kext file over the the general System Library, and delete the other files from the user Library preferences, but starting up WireTap just creates these two files in the user Library:

com.ambrosiasw.wiretap_studio.plist

com.ambrosiasw.wiretap_studio.au_cache.plist

... and I still get the same error from WireTap saying "AmbrosiaAudioSupport is missing or damaged." when trying to select Mac Audio as the source.

The good news is that the free Sound Siphon still works to accomplish the same thing.

I don't even have the AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext file! So I tried to contact Ambrosia over a week ago, but no reply. They used to share the .kext as a free download on their website, but the download didn't work a couple of days ago.

Is there anyone who could share the AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext here please?

Have you checked for an update?

Try re-installing it.

Try a restart.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

From the Wiretap Ambrosia site: Note: Per-application recording is not yet available on MacOS X 10.7 or later. We're working on it!

Really? This program doesn't work with the latest Mac OS??

Audio Hijack 3 is supposed to work with Yosemite. http://rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/

Hello

I had the same problem with WireTap Studio not working with Yosemite, and when I contacted Ambrosia software I was told that the product had reached the end of its shelf life and would not be updated. Pretty cheesy since I bought the software only one year ago for $69. They offered a solution which did not work. I was able to find a way to get it to work, so if you're stuck and have tried other things, here's what worked for me:

1. I removed the AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext file from the System/Library/Extensions folder and reinstalled it directly into the System library: System/Library/AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext.

2. I deleted all the Ambrosia preference files from the User Library:

User/Library/Preferences/com.ambrosiasw.exporter.plis

User/Library/Preferences/com.ambrosiasw.wiretap_studio.au_cache.plist

User/Library/Preferences/com.ambrosiasw.wiretap_studio.LSSharedFileList.plist

User/Library/Preferences/com.ambrosiasw.wiretap_studio.plistfrom

Upon startup WT Studio created new preference files, and was now able to recognize and use the AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext file and record directly from the internal Apple Audio.

Can you be more specific about how you did this?

For example ...

I was able to remove AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext from /System/Library/Extensions with the Finder. However, the Finder wouldn't let me copy it to /System/Library/

Did you use Terminal commands to do this? I tried cp -r but it didn't work.

How did you do this copy?

Thank you for your post.

I dragged the icon for AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext out of /System/Library/Extensions to the desktop.

I did not copy or modify the file in any way, and I did not use Terminal.

I dragged the original file into the /System/Library folder, so the path is now /System/Library/AmbrosiaAudioSupport.kext

Hope this helps!

Just tried to use my WireTap on El Captian -- same issue. Won't work with Mac Audio.

I tried the same thing but Finder won't let me drag and drop it there (white circle/slash).
