Hi Chris. Seems you're right -- at some point the installer lost PPC compatibility, thought the app is PPC compatible. Apologies.
One solution: the Progress Thru Processors (PTP) installer still works on older Macs -- do you have a Facebook account? Might you want to sign up there? (During the simple registration process, you can link your new PTP app to your existing GR account; it just integrates everything into Facebook, which is kind of nice.) Just go to apps.facebook.com/processors, then click the "join" button.
If you don't have a Facebook account, or don't want to add PTP to such account, you can use an older version of BOINC for Mac, available here.
Hi Matt
I downloaded and installed that BOINC manager with no problems. It's synced with Grid Republic, picked up my projects and seems to be running smoothly. Thanks for the help! The Grid Republic website doesnt show the Mac on my list of active computers but thats ok.
Try this --
In your desktop software, click the "advanced view" button in lower right. then under the "tools" menu there might be an option that says "attach to account manager". if so, pick that, enter www.gridrepublic.org and when asked the email + pw you use to login here...
Let me know if that works...
Sorry if this is a dumb question -- but are you sure it's the same email address (used at the original GR account and when attaching the new computer)?
In any case, one thing to check: in the desktop softwares of an old machine & the new one, under "advanced view" and in the "projects" tab -- are the listed account names the same?
This is strange... you don't see the computer listed on:
