I am using a Mid 2007 Mac running Yosemite 10.10.5 and Audacity2.1.1. There is no message it just crashes. I haven’t noticed any other problems.
Crashes only seem to be occurring when recording. I can leave the program open or use it to convert audio files without problems
I just noticed that when left open but not used Audacity becomes unresponsive and I must force quit it.
When you restart your Mac, does it take a really long time to give you the chong? How many apps do you keep open in the doc?

Did you look in /Applications/Utilities/Console.app for any reports about Audacity there?
Right-click over Audacity and choose “Get Info”. Does it help if you check (tick) the box “Prevent App Nap”?

I have attached the console report. I tried with only Audacity open got the same results. (normally only iTunes and mail open)
I’ve attached a copy of the Audacity Crash report

Thanks for the crash report.
Does disabling App Nap help? And can you try the “2.1.2 RC1 (for testing)” version from http://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html/? If there is any fix to be made we need to make it in that current code. What would be the simplest way to reproduce the problem ?

I tried Prevent App Nap. Able to record 1 side of LP, crash happens when I lift tonearm (stopping input) I’m attaching the crash report

I downloaded 2.1.2 RC1 (for testing) version and was able to record and save without any problem. No crash at end of side 1
Thanks. Please continue to test 2.1.2 RC1 if you can - with AppNap both on and off.

Thanks for the help. I’ve been using 2.1.2 (AppNap on and off) and things seem to be ok. I did encounter a minor problem when exporting files. I can’t paste the file name in the export window. For a slow typist this saves time. I don’t know if this is also a problem in the metadata editor, I’ve been using 2.1.1 to reopen the file and export. Thanks again.
