Audacity Forum

I'm running the latest versions of Audacity and OSX.

I hadn't opened Audacity for a week or so, and now I can do absolutely NOTHING with it! I can't update my preferences for mic and headset, and I can't play or record a track. What the heck???

Hi. I finally upgraded from my old MacBook and an ancient version of Audacity to 2.1 running on my super-fact MacBook Pro operating on the latest version of Yosemite.

I am running Audacity 2.0.5 on a MacBook running latest version of Yosemite. I think I got the zip version, but not certain.... I'm new to Audacity, but was doing pretty well after some initial problems. I need to export tracks in MP3, and was doing so with no problem, then suddenly there was no sou...
