Help exporting file to itunes

So I have nearly a 7 hour audio file. It works fine in audacity, and I want to put it into itunes. I've exported files before and theyve worked fine. However, I've never done a file this large. I tried exporting it as both mp3 and wav. I always remember .wav worked perfectly, but now, it only exports about 6 minutes of the file. And it's not even the beginning 6 minutes. It's as though it randomly chose 6 minutes from the middle of the file to export.
How can I export the entire file?
Thanks for reading!

You can't. A 7-hour WAV would be over 2 GB, which is the size limit. Break it into smaller chunks.

There's no shortage of people trying to make Audacity into a surveillance program. It's not.
Can you save the show as an Audacity Project? If you can, you could download and install Audacity 1.3.12 from here...
http://audacityteam.org/download/
Audacity 1.3 will open Audacity 1.2 Projects.
Install FFMpeg from the same place. FFMpeg allows exporting as AAC. You might get away with that. It's a more modern format and it may support very large shows. Apple iTunes knows what AAC is.
