Re: Audacity 2.1.1 crashes on OSX 10.8.5

Don't know if this is related to this specific issue or not, but two of us on different machines with Yosemite 10.10.4 can't get 2.1.1. to run at all. Found the following in the Console: " 7/19/15 8:55:28.748 PM Audacity[1384]: WARNING: The Gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.4 i...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

I suspected that would be what you would find. Just what I found in trying to track down the recording corruption I had. Unfortunately I'm using a wireless also so can't turn off the router as others use it. I suppose I could delete the login connection and try that. Anyone have a gremlin trap? Cliff

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

I guess it got lost in all the words I wrote, but there is NO WORKING Internet during the live recording. There is Internet at home. I think we need to figure out what the difference is between the two locations. That's the only lead I can imagine. That is exactly what I've been struggling with for ...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

Koz, I wish it was that simple because if it was the problem would have been tracked down long ago I'm sure. Let me try and clarify the total situation and answer your questions in the process. I'm using 2.1.0 on Yosemite 10.10.4. Using 2.0.5 or 2.0.6 on Snow Leopard or Mavericks will NOT result in ...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

I find this discussion very interesting and informative, but as far as I can tell it doesn't apply to my specific situation regarding crashes on saving the file after a recording. I can prevent the crashing just by restarting Audacity between live recording sessions. If I don't restart it then the c...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

Were you responding to me, CMac185, or RDGeek? If myself then - 1. Not running TimeMachine. Spotlight is set to rather minimal settings, nothing from the web. 2. I assume you mean to turn off the folder for saving the projects and the temp folder in Spotlight. Can do, but I'm curious what do you thi...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

I have not seen that mentioned by anyone else. Do you mean that having clicked in the recording meter to start monitoring, you need to click again to turn off monitoring before pressing Record? Is your workflow that after initially clicking in the recording meter to monitor, you wait an extended pe...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

Just a report on the current state of recording two live recordings in a row as relates to crashing. I have found two keys that seem to stop the crashing I was seeing. 1. Don't leave the input monitor display going after the initial check that the input is getting in. Leaving that going greatly incr...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

No it did not switch to the desktop that had Audacity and I was using the built-in Mission Control desktop. I have used the second monitor for Audacity in the past, but this time I started it with the other monitor disconnected so it shouldn't have tried to move it to the second display. I've never ...

Re: Crashing on Yosemite

Another crash. This time Audacity was not even visible, i.e. on another "desktop" on my Mac and I plugged in my second monitor. Doing that always flashes the screen. It was at that instant that the crash occurred. Looking at the crash log the same OSSpinLockLock+11 seems to be the reason. How you co...
