My mac pro just crashed. All work units being crunched are history. Can the powers in charge go into my work units pending and pass those along to someone else as I lost everything. I had the latest version of boinc and don't know why it crashed. Just started crunching yesterday and everything was fine until this afternoo when I paused it to do some work. I wouldn't pause all 4 cores, one kept running until I shut the program down. After that, it crashed my system. I'll be back after reinstalling.

Work is resent automatically. No need to micro-manage :-)
It crashed your system? Obviously, that should never happen. Can you tell us more, please? Oh, and exactly which version of BOINC? There have been a few recently. |

5.8.17. I won't rule out other things but seems to point to boinc. Can I run an older version as I never had problems with that with my other 2 macs? thanks

Yes, downgrade.
Sorry, it's hard to keep up to date with all the Mac stuff - and I think the Mac client gets less testing, simply because there are fewer Mac users out there. Consider joining the BOINC alpha testers - a more reliable Mac client would be great, and you can help make it reliable. |

I downgraded and so far seems to work. I'll let it run overnight and try to pause it like I did before and see what happens. This lower version ran great on my mini so don't think any problems will arise. Thanks for the help.

Well, I didn't make it through the night before another crash. Might not be boinc though. It might be temp monitor program I am using. I will try boinc with out it and see what happens. I did down grade so now thinking its something else.
