Audacity crashes every time on startup

Post by jeff9 » Thu May 23, 2013 8:24 am

I'm using a Macbook pro and I had an older version of Audacity (1.3??) which worked fine. I just downloaded the 2.0 DMG and the zip and they both crash every time I try to launch them. I running OS 10.6.8. Any help would be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance.

Sorry you have a problem, but this is documented in many messages on this Mac board and in the Release Notes .

If you need step-by-step help please see http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/User: ... ces_on_Mac .

If problems persist after disabling plug-ins, please attach a Mac crash report and say how exactly you are launching Audacity. For example are you launching it by opening a file?

Please see here for how to attach files to this Forum:
