I just downloaded and installed Boinc 4.35 for Apple..Seems to be working great. Except I had two versions running at the same time. Deleted 4.19 kept 4.35 but lost all workunits in progress from 4.19. Is there anyway to down workunits from pervious version to in version??

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately this is not possible: once a WU is send to a host it will not be send once again.

Normally, as it is in Windows, when installing a version above 4.19 you should have get a warning you need to UNINSTALL the previous version first.

Read the News at the homepage
Have a look at the Technical News
Look if your question is not answered at the Boinc Wiki

Best greetings, Thierry

What you do is stop the old Client, go to add remove software in wins, remove that Version of BOINC, do not delete the old folder cause you lose the WUs......and install the new version in the same folder.
