Re: Export as wav
You should not be saving work to the same place that contains the Audacity program. That's dangerous. Save to your desktop or Music or Documents or someplace like that.
You have a volume named Audacity 2.0.3? A whole hard drive dedicated to your program?

Re: Export as wav
Almost certainly the reason you get the message about not able to export to "Volumes" is because you are running Audacity from the DMG. If you do that you will not be able to run Audacity with all effects and settings.
Please drag the "Audacity" folder from the DMG to your /Applications folder, eject the DMG, then run Audacity from the "/Applications/Audacity" folder.
