Does your iMac have a 30-bit display? Do Apple menu > About this Mac, then click "System Report", then click on "Graphics/Displays" in the list on the left. If "Framebuffer depth" says "30-bit Color" then the following may help.

Right-click on the Audacity application icon and choose "Get Info". In the Get Info window, check "Open in Low Resolution".
