Bill-
I see that I'm going to have to learn more about using Finder before I proceed with upgrading to 2.1.2. I'm not familiar enough with the terms "application" and "folder" to be comfortable with moving things from one place to another. I'm liable to not catch all my recording projects during the process of trying to locate, and then move them to a safe place before I get rid of 2.0.3!
I really do appreciate your suggestions and patience....

Re: Metadata Editor
"Application" is like a "program" on older Windows. "Folder" is sometimes also referred to as a "directory".
Did you install Audacity to one or more "Audacity" folders in /Applications? If so, open each of those folders in turn.
Open Finder > Preferences... and enable the option to show file extensions. There are some pictures at http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/10/29 ... -yosemite/ to help you.
Go through the folders where you have Audacity installed (you should see Audacity.app in these folders which is the Audacity application). Move the below items to Documents (or to some other folder in your home folder):
(a) any files with .aup extension
(b) any folders that have "_data" (without quotes) at the end of their name.
You must move all the AUP files and _data folders to the same folder.
Now you should be safe to trash the folders that contain the Audacity installation.
