I installed http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_5.4.9_macOSX_universal.zip on my Mac Mini Intel.

I think I didn't set "Default attach" in step 5 on http://www.boincstats.com/bam/ "Attach new host by default?" and as this seems to be required by step 9, I ended up using the URL method in BOINCManager to add Rosetta@Home. The project was listed in Resources | My Projects on the BAM website with resource share 100.

Aside: Intuitively I expected Resource share should total 100 as in 100%, so this 1000 number does not make sense to me.

BOINCManager is the download and BOINC Account Manager is BAM, right?

Anyway, that was yesterday. Today I went back to BAM and added SETI@Home while Rosetta@Home was running. I selected the default attach and it does not show up in BOINCManger Projects. I reduced Rosetta to 50 resource share and kept SETI at 100. Both say Last update Success. Oh, I clicked BOINCManager | Project | Update a few times also.

The resource share is reporting "50 (100%)" for Rosetta as if the BAM setting was applied. Before it was "100 (100%)". I just don't see the new SETI Project added/attached.

I just tried to attach to "BBC Climate Change" via BAM, just in case there was a problem with SETI. Now I'm not sure if I followed the instructions on the main site the 1st time and due to frustration ended up using the URL method from BOINCManager.

Please help a newbie attach via BAM. That's why I registered for BAM.

"Attach new host by default?" is a BAM option, set via the web.

Resource shares can have any number you want. Doesn't have to total 100. If you set 100 on two projects, each will have 50%. 100 in one 200 in other, they get 33% and 66%.

Yes.

Did you attach BAM as an account manager? That is the most important step.
