ERROR Locking Temporary Folder

Post by B.... » Mon May 25, 2020 11:56 pm

Using Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. Audacity 2.3.3
Have been recording a new project with multiple stereo tracks & now am getting the warning pop up "Error Locking temporary Folder" & asks if I still want to start Audacity. Happens each time I open Audacity after shut down. I had recently deleted another version of the project. NO idea what that's about.
Also get an *error opening sound device* notice many times as well. This one requires effort to get a mic/input signal to the input meter from the recording device. (there's another thread about this one also - which doesn't arrive at a solution. I'm using a Metric Halo UNL-2 3d. but I suspect the interface is not the issue.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
