Hi all,
BOINC has generally been hassle-free for as long as I've used the windows client. Now, I'm on a Mac full-time. Only have one annoying little hassle. If you folks can resolve it, I'll slide back to the hive-mind.

I'm using BAM!. I have 2 projects connected to my client -- rosetta and LHC. I thought I had the correct settings for switching between the two projects. But since starting the projects, 100% of the work has been completed by rosetta. BOINC isn't switching between the two. Now, my guess is that I missed some setting whether on the BAM site, or locally, and they're conflicting. But I have no idea. How do I get BOINC to download and process work for both projects?

As requested in the "Read this before posting" post, here is my event log.

LHC doesn't have an application for Mac OS X, only for Windows and Linux: http://lhcathomeclassic.cern.ch/sixtrack/apps.php

So that's probably why.
You may want to check at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/projects.php which projects do have Mac OS X support. Do check at the projects themselves for other requirements and whether there's work to be had.
