Strangely I can't download 7.16.21 for Mac. Every attempt is refused as failed. I don't know how to update my version 7.16.19. Please help me to solve this problem. |

Do you mean it won't download from this link or it won't install once you download it? I don't have a Mac but it downloads fine for me. |

Yes it doesn't download anything from the link you mentioned. I've a copy of it and when I start it gives a message "The application “BOINC Installer.app” can’t be opened.". |

The link that Dave provided downloads a single file called "boinc_7.16.21_macOSX_universal.zip" - the '.zip' indicates that it's a compressed archive file, containing all the real moving parts. Macs should be able to "extract all..." - that's the Windows terminology, but the Mac should be similar. Inside, there's another folder called "boinc_7.16.21_macOSX_universal" (no extension). And inside that, there's a document titled "ReadMe.rtf". That's your starting point. |
