If you CTRL-drag and the clip won't go back, you only need a single Edit > Undo Time Shift to put the clip back. Gale CTRL-drag is a good tip but the problem with undo is that then any editing on the clip gets undone as well. I usually work on copies of clips so I don't mess up the main track. If t...

@Gale Can you find that posting where I complained about the same error? Here, but only Forum Staff / Crew can see it http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?p=237759#p237759 . I notice that started as "just ticking" then morphed into overlaid pieces. The final clip is here: http://ko...

Export Multiple automatically generates the track number in the metadata from the order of the labels or order of the Audacity tracks. You can change that number by clicking in the value cell for Track Number each time Metadata Editor pops up. However either of the "numbering" options for ...

I can record, it recorded fine for over an hour before this problem gradually occurred. I'm asking now if there is any way to recover the data, and if there is any way to prevent it happening in future or if it is a bug in the software. It did not record fine due to the length you recorded for. USB...

The word is extension.

You can specify the format to export to in the Export command in the Chain. Unfortunately AIFF is not an option but you can export to WAV which is fully compatible with iTunes.

If you can, turn off WiFi.

Open Audacity > Preferences... , Recording section, set "Audio to Buffer" to zero, try to record, if it does not record, set it to 10 milliseconds, then so on upwards in 10 millisecond increments until it does record.
