audacity downloaded but won't open
I have a mac OS X 10.4.11 and purchased an Ion turntable TTUSB05. I inserted the disk with 1.2.6 and opened it. The instructions said to drag the audacity folder to applications which I did. The box opened on screen indicating that it did download into the application file I had made. But when I click on it in applications, a box comes on saying that there is no default application specified and to choose one. I don't know what should be chosen or if I need something I don't have to open it. Is the turntable supposed to be hooked up and on when inserting the disc? Or does that matter.

Re: audacity downloaded but won't open
According to the Audacity download site, for MAC OSX you may need 1.2.5 and NOT 1.2.6 (depending on whether you have Intel or PPC) - see http://audacityteam.org/download/
You can download 1.2.5 from the link I have just posted for you - and no you shouldn't need to have the TT attached or on when installing Audacity.
UPDATE: a quote from a well-informed poster on a different thread I just read

Thank you. When I downloaded the other version it opened OK.

Glad we got you working ok.
BTW, it's worth bookmarking that link I posted as it's where you'll be able to get future updates to download.
