Let me ask this, though: How many tasks are you folks getting? When my computer finally contacted seti@home, I only got one task. ~Sue~ ID: 1632864 ·

This would especially be the case if you had a bunch time out because of whatever your problem was. As for lack of entertainment, you could read some of the other threads here. I think Beer Drinker's and Rocky's Cafe would interest you. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. ID: 1633215 ·

The problem must have had something to do with my latest OSX update. It appears that's when the problem began. I'm still involuntarily getting beta updates. I got one on Jan 8, and the last time my computer had communicated with seti was Jan 7. I downloaded and installed an older version of BOINC and now everythings hunky-dory. I have tried to get off the beta list, but whatever I did apparently wasn't enough. And they don't bother to ask me if I want to download the latest beta, they download it to me and then I have no choice but to restart my computer and install it. Or it installs automatically - I forget which. In either case, I'm forced to update to a beta version of Yosemite. I'm going to try again to get off of that list. I don't remember what I did last time so if anyone knows how to stop receiving Apple's Yosemite beta updates, please let me know. Thanks. ~Sue~ ID: 1633354 ·

Mine has always just told me when the official update is ready. I wouldn't even know how to get a test version. The mind is a weird and mysterious place ID: 1633460 ·

Mine has always just told me when the official update is ready. I wouldn't even know how to get a test version. You have to sign up. I did when they were looking for beta testers for version 10.10. I found a link while reading one of the many online tech "magazines." Like most things, it's easy getting signed up. Getting taken off the list, well that takes some special magic. ~Sue~ ID: 1633793 ·
