I have my first MAC (temporarily). I got BOINC to run on it, with GPU. Nice to see it run so smoothly.

One issue is remote viewing. I created the two files and put them in the /Library/Application Support/BOINC Data directory with the text editor.
gui_rpc_auth.cfg
remote_hosts.cfg

Yet it refuses the connection.

Any MAC help out there?

Did you set the firewall to allow the connections you want to make?

I figured this out. Format types of saving is very odd. I have not had a lot of 10.x experience so it took me 3-4 tries to get it saved correctly.

I've got a Mac Pro (not a bad machine), but it drives me nuts. Things that should be easy (in the Linux or Windoze worlds) are incredibly complicated. Like starting a program or service @ boot. Once you get it to run you just about need to remove it completely to get it to STOP running automatically. Sorry Mac fans, my Mac Pro generally runs Centos Linux- simpler and does what I want when I want it to...

Anyone have any recommendations on how to get the MAC to do GPU? I have read and read the different ways and nothing I seem to do works.

NVIDIA GPU 0: GeForce 320M (driver version unknown, CUDA version 3010, compute capability 1.2, 253MB, 50 GFLOPS peak)

I have the Driver, Toolkit and SDK installed. Exported the paths. Still I cannot crunch on it.

You could just install Windoze #ni-1

Not my MAC, I am able to crunch but the owner wants the MAC OS and drive space for music.
