1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : "The BOINC client has exited unexpected 3 times" on both my Macs? (Message 57025)

I restored the BOINC Data folder from my TimeMachine - and hey presto it all works again.
I have reset the project and Suspended i until further notice - assuming the problem is related to these dodgy work units.

I will apply the same process to my other Mac.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone

Regards

Simon

Thanks. I'll try the Time Machine recovery over the weekend.

The two Macs suffered the same fate within a few days rather than minutes.

I have deleted all BOINC files and folders on one of the Macs, reinstalled BOINC. When I then restart the BOINC client I get the "Connecting to localhost".... it then goes to "The BOINC client has exited unexpectedly 3 times..." after a few minutes.

Ill keep you posted in the Time Machine restore

Thanks for the reply.

Happy to give that a whirl. But this happened on both my Macs ? Is the fix your are suggesting likely to address a problem that has independently affected 2 machines ?

Thanks for the suggestion. But assuming I got it right that did not fix it. I looked in client_state.xml for those error messages but could not find them. So then I renamed those 2 files (client_state and client_state_prev) and restarted the BOINC client. But the issue persisted. I moved those 2 files to the desktop and repeated... same result.

Just to clarify. When I start the client, the message in the bottom right hand corner says it is "connecting to localhost". Then I get the "BOINC Client has exited" message, and the message in the bottom right corner then reads "Disconnected".

Thanks.

I meant "... like add another project..."

I can't even get the BOINC client to give me the version of the software. Most of the menu options are greyed out,

I am running latest MacOS (10.12.6) and latest BOINC client (which I have downloaded and reinstalled as a result of this problem).

The BOINC client is exiting with this error. I cannot do anything in the client like add another client. The Climateprediction project is not listed....

Both Macs failed at the same time.

That suggests it is something wrong with my account or at the server end maybe?

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Yes that parameter is set to -1...

What do I need to do to figure out why it got set and get it unset?

Thanks

I have this message in the Event Logs on both my Macs

"Not accepting requests from this host"

I am running BOINC 7.2.42, which I think is current, so not sure what my computers did that was bad.

Can I get unlocked?

Thanks

I received the messagae saying my Mac was crashing models.

The email suggested I provide this link

http://climateapps2.oerc.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1097264

I just upgraded my BOINC client on my Mac to V7.0.31. Not sure if that helps to address the issue?

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks

All my models this year have ended with \"Client Error\", code -1073741502. I\'ve looked at other postings, but not found out why or more importantly what I can do about it. Suggestions welcome.

I also notice my current model is having problems :-
