Re: 2.0.3 crashes on startup. Fixes don't work.

I suspect newer Audacity is not stable on that combination. There is no official line that says that. We explicitly patch Audacity for OS X 10.5.8 PPC for a problem where a first-time installation of Audacity would hang on launch if VST effects were detected. Audacity 1.2.6 would be assumed less su...

Re: Audacity opens blank project file

I'm using Audacity 2.0.3 and running Mac OSX 10.0.4. If that is not a typo then you'll need Audacity 1.2.6a from here http://audacityteam.org/download/legacy_mac assuming it's a PPC Mac. There is no technical support for 1.2 versions of Audacity, so you're on your own I'm afraid. When I open the Au...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

I don't see any reference to either PGAP or NORM in AIFF-1.3 specification. That's why I called it iTunes-specific metadata. My supposition is that if that is missing, it may it make it more difficult for iPod to play the files. Currently I cannot replicate Audacity removing PGAP on Windows, but it...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

I have attached what Peak LE says about your files. error 39.png Generate a minute of tone or record a minute of audio in Audacity. File > Export as AIFF, do not add metadata. Does that give error 39 in Peak? Now select the first 30 seconds of that audio and File > Export Selection as AIFF, do not ...

Re: AIFF files will not play on iPod, will on iTunes

Do we have any direct evidence that Audacity is writing AIFF files that are not compliant to the file specification? As stated before, if Audacity exports an iTunes-created AIFF file containing NORM and PGAP data, it duplicates the Normalisation information towards the top of the file (but removing...

You cannot change the location of the AutoSave folder, so I assume you mean that your temp directory was set to E:.

Once you have your image, please see here for how to attach files: http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic ... 49&t=64936 .

Holding ALT with PrtScr can be useful if you use that method - it just captures the active window instead of the whole screen.

Re: Audio is making a weird noise after I export it.

Indeed, deStar is Krissserz... Thanks for confirmation. I cannot think of any change in 2.0.2 that would affect 10.8 but not 10.6. What audio device are you using for playback on 10.8? What happens if you set the second (High-quality) dither to "None" in Quality preferences then export yo...

Re: "SAVE PROJECT " not responding??

It quit without prompting me to save changes. Did not crash quit, just quit. Are you sure there were unsaved changes? For example, if you you did File > Save Project, made an edit then undid that edit, Save Project will be greyed out because in that project state there are no changes to save since ...
