1) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : "The BOINC client has exited unexpected 3 times" on both my Macs? (Message 56992) Posted 28 Sep 2017 by kowalsky Post: Hello Simon, I cannot be 100% positive as you stated that your 2 machines crashed at the same time. If you meant "exact same day, hour, min and second" it would be indeed strange and probably not related with what happened to me, but if you meant "same day" or "same hour", let's suppose that they were both affected by the recent failed CPDN long models the BOINC forums are talking about for the past few days. If you are still stuck with Boinc, have a try on one mac. First backup your current "Boinc data" directory just in case, and then try the time machine restoration. You can even try to dig a litle in all the informations from the forums and just restore the appropriate files instead of the full directory. Iain may be able to provide more specific informations

3) Questions and Answers : Macintosh : BOINC says "unable to connect to core client" (Message 56943) Posted 24 Sep 2017 by kowalsky Post: Hello, got also this problem starting 21/09 with an older mac and Boinc version (7.6.34). After reading Boinc forums, it seems indeed related with some CPDN issue. In order to restore Boinc, I did severals tricks as editing files and uninstall/reinstall Boinc and other stuff like that without success, but the one who did worked was very simple : I went into my Time Machine and restored the full "BOINC Data" directory from the last Boinc working date (aka 20/09 in my case). And as soon as I have restarted Boinc, my projects were back in the manager. To prevent Boinc to crash again, I have suspended CPDN untill further notice from here ;) Nota : it would maybe have worked with a more specific directory but I'll let someone else find out ;) Loosing 1 day of computation is not a big deal since it's working again. As reminded by Iain, files are located in /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data
