All macOS tasks failling

Hello

I just start to (try to) crunch on my recent iMac and all the tasks are failing

Thanks for your help !

Any suggestion with this ? Am I alone with that problem ?

We all have the same problem.

The Mac apps for YoYo won't work with Mojave and later OSs because they're not 64bit.

They should/might work on Mojave if you use an older (not 64-bit clean) Boinc Client.

[JeromeC]

Oh ! that's bad !

I don't think I will downgrade boinc just because of this but thanks a lot for the answer.

Hopefully yoyo finds some time one day to recompile this for 64 bits macOS...

Run Linux alongside the MacOS.

Running YoYo on Linux while you sleep earns more credit than you'll get from running all day on MacOS.

You can also use the iMac GPU on projects that don't have Mac GPU apps.

[JeromeC]

... if you mean "via a virtual machine" it won't allow to use the GPU + there is a loss of CPU cycles due to the software used for virtualization itself. But I've done this in the past, when I had more motivation for such techie approach

If you mean "via a dual boot" this is not in my plans + I don't even know if it can be easily done.

I have a strange testimony on our Alliance Francophone forum of another Mac user telling "no problem to run OGR on 3 different Macs under Mojave + boinc 7.16.11"... ???

I asked him to give us links of his tasks in yoyo but he didn't answer + I cannot find his profile here.
