Audacity Forum

Okay, I've taken a deep breath and told myself everything is going to be okay.

I looked for Tiger on the Apple site ... looks like they don't sell it anymore.

If I find a friend that has it, I'm assuming I can borrow it and install without a problem?

Koz? ... just this last question ... pulleeease?!?!

Also, I'm wondering-- and thanks again for all your help, I'm so grateful-- what would be the point to wiping the OS since you say it's not recommended to update a 10.3.9 machine to QT 7?

Then I restarted and tried to import sound file into new FCE project ...

Crash.

Any suggestions you have would be really appreciated.

"Do you perform the "periodic" command line tools or run MacJanitor?" I don't know about command line tools or MacJanitor ... please ...
