Audacity 1.2.x is now obsolete. Please use the current Audacity 2.1.x version.

Mac 0S X 10.3 and earlier are no longer supported but you can download legacy versions of Audacity for those systems HERE.

HOW DO YOU INSTALL PLUG-INS. THE SITE SAID TO INSTALL IN THE APPLICATIONS FOLDER. I OPEN THE AUDACITY APP IN THE APPLICATION FOLDER AND PASTED IT INSIDE. NOTHING HAPPENS

PLEASE HELP.

THANKS

Which site said that?
http://audacityteam.org/download/plugins says
"To install new plug-ins, place them in the Plug-Ins folder inside the Audacity installation folder".

The recommended installation for Audacity on OS X is to create a folder inside the Applications folder called something like "Audacity". Then drag everything from the Audacity dmg that you download from here http://audacityteam.org/download/beta_mac into that folder. That will install the "plug-ins" folder for you.

No need to install anything inside of "Audacity.app". In fact, I'd trash your installation and do it again, as recommended.

Note that I am recommending 1.3.12 over any 1.2.x version for OS X.
