Hey guys,
I`m trying to export a file on Audacity as a WAV file, but when I do it gives me a message "Error 30: read only file system" what does that mean??
I even downloaded the MP3 lame encoder and tried to bounce it as MP3 file but i get a message saying "unable to open target file for writing"
How can I solve this problem, I would be grateful for a solution
Thank you all,
Kurbeh

Make sure you have installed Audacity correctly.
1 Double-click the downloaded DMG to mount it
2 Then to install Audacity, copy the "Audacity" folder from the newly mounted DMG to /Applications or any other location of your choosing.
Then run Audacity from /Applications, not from the DMG.
If the issue persists, try changing the directory you are exporting to - choose somewhere you have permission to write to, like your Desktop.
