I am currently using the most up to date version of audacity and i am on a mac book pro 2.4 ghz processor w/ 4g of ram. I am having a crashing error and when i reopen my files i receive a message telling me that the recording contains orphaned files, i click to remove them as it recommends and then when i try to record more or play the existing recording the entire program crashes, help please.

Audacity 1.2 is not supported on modern Macs and may be unstable. Download and use Audacity 1.3.12 from here...

By most recent i was referring to the beta version, additionally i don't know if it is particularly relevant but i am running on 10.6.

Everything is important. You posted a 1.3 question in the 1.2 forum. That's what threw me.
Is your Audacity fresh with no additional filters or tools? You can download additional plugins to Audacity and if you get a bad one, it can cause Audacity to behave oddly.
How large is your disk drive and how full is it?
