Old MacBooks had a Microphone In connection and not Stereo Line-In like the later ones. I bet your connections don't look like this: http://www.kozco.com/tech/audacity/pix/MacLineIn.jpg Microphone connections have a super sensitive microphone preamplifier as a first thing after the connection and it...

Do you have your Caps-Lock key on? I can't think of a reason Shift+R wouldn't work. The segment in the instructions is for the Transport Toolbar specifically, not the button functions, so in that sense, it does leave you out in the cold.

Yes. "Recording audio playing on the computer." At base, it runs the play and record portions of the computer at the same time. People see it as "I want to record YouTube," (full stop) like it's a YouTube recording tool. It's not. Youtube can be on the play side and Audacity on t...

Also, I visited the URL of the page you gave, it's very confusing there. You need to dig through it. That tells you what to set all the selectors for in the Windows versions. Recording Devices, Hidden Services, etc. etc Windows is now a corporate communications service, not a generic computer like ...
