Audacity on Boot up.

Post by sus4 » Sat Sep 07, 2013 12:44 pm

Since I got my new Mac Mini v. 10.8.4. Audacity has been opening up on boot up. I don't have " Open At Login" checked. Anyone know how I can stop this?

Thanks

Are you using the latest 2.0.4 from http://audacityteam.org/download/mac ?

Are you running Audacity from the DMG? If so, that's a bad idea. Please see "Installation instructions" on the above page.

Gale,

I just downloaded 2.0.4 and it corrected the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences, click your account in the list, then click "Login Items". Make sure Audacity is not in the list. If it is, select it then click the "-" (minus) button to remove Audacity from the login items.

Bill,

I didn't think of that, but I just did and Audacity was not on the list.

Anyway, it was good to upgrade to 2.0.4

Thanks

The other thing to look for is the "reopen windows when logging back in" option in the restart/shutdown dialog.
