Apparently the problem is that the BOINC Installer is done by 'an unidentified developer'.
As per: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=8694 "I upgraded my Mac to OS X 10.9 and the Boinc manager no longer starts. I get an error pop up, "Boinc ownership or permissions are not set properly; please reinstall Boinc. (Error code -1008)" I downloaded what I think is the correct Mac version, and when I click to install I get another dialog box which says "Boinc Installer" can't be opened because it came from an unidentified developer. Google Chrome downloaded this file today at 7:28am from boinc.berkely.edu. I cannot find a version of Boinc in the Mac App store, which is what they recommend. Any ideas ?" -- -- Thanks, -- Jord van der Elst.
