Re: Audacity not working with Mac OS X

I've been using Audacity 1.2.6 PPC for a year. But this problem just started happening. When I select "monitor input" there's a pause for a few seconds, then a beachball, then it crashes. If I unplug/replug my firewire audio interface, and then launch Audacity and select monitor input - then the cra...

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

I think I figured this out. I had formatted my internal HD as case-sensitive, when I installed Leopard. Turns out, there are a small number of apps that wont run if they are stored on a case-sensitive file system. I think Illustrator may be one. The workaround for these, is to install them on a case...

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

Don't blame my ISP guy! I figured out what the problem is – but WHY is still a mystery. Audacity 1.2.5 runs on my PPC mini (10.4.11) and on my titanium PowerBook (Leopard) ++but only if Audacity is located on my external Fire Wire HD++ Go figure. It makes no sense to me. When I install that exact sa...

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

I upgraded to Leopard because my isp guy (who's also a Mac programmer) told me to. He never mentioned a problem with PPC's in particular, and he knows the hardware I'm running.I'll ask him if he has any insight into this situation.

As for the ranting…you gotta right…I love Audacity…thanks!

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

I found a post from someone who had the same error message here: http://www.macupdate.com/reviews.php?id=8052 But he was running Audacity 1.3. There were no replies to his post. The remainder of the thread seemed to be mostly flames. I downloaded Audacity when I had MAC OS 10.3.9, however I recently...

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

It's a PPC G4 867

It seems like I downloaded the right version of Audacity, far as I can tell…

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

Thanks for the prompt response. You may be right. I re-downloaded it from the alternate site. But the result is the same as before. I don't know if it's a Windows version, but my computer seems to know it won't run before I even open it. In the Finder, the Audacity icon shows up with a circle & slas...

Re: 1.2.5 not starting on Leopard, complains on wrong arch

I get this same error code with 1.2.6 on a Titanium Powerbook PPC G4 867 mhz with Leopard 10.5.2. And I put Audacity in a folder named Audacity in the Applications folder, as directed. Any suggestions? I really need Audacity to work - I have 1.2.3 (I think) running on my G4 mini with OS 10.3.9, but ...
