uhh ok so i tried exporting a AAIF file and it says "cannot export audio to Volume/Audacity2.0.4/audacity/Audacity recording.Aiff. im getting pretty mad at this point plzz help
I think some Audacity installs try to save your exported work to the /Applications or other system folder. That's a bad idea. Export new sound files to Desktop or Music or other predictable place.
Are you trying to run Audacity from the downloaded disk image? That's a bad idea, too. Install Audacity for real before you use it.
Double click the .dmg file and it will explode into the program folder and instructions like this:
======================
* To install Audacity, copy the Audacity folder to /Applications or
any other location of your choosing.
* If you are a first-time user of Audacity, security settings on
OS X 10.7 or later may block Audacity being launched. To permanently
enable Audacity launch, right-click or control-click on the Audacity
application in Finder, choose "Open", then in the dialog box that
appears, choose "Open".
======================
If you have completely scrambled permissions, you may get that as well.
Go > Utilities > Disk Utilities > select your system disk and Repair Permissions.
