Please check that you have fully installed Audacity according to the instructions: http://audacityteam.org/download/mac

Although Audacity can run directly from the .dmg file, it will not be fully functional unless the Audacity folder is copied from the mounted .dmg to an appropriate location on your computer (normally "/Applications")
