where do I get the most recent client?

And then do I need to create a back up and import the data?

Thanks

Most recent client you can find here:
https://github.com/BitShares/BitShares-PTS/releases

Yes, make a backup of wallet.dat before everything.

Are you using the most recent client?
You will need to export your wallet from the old one and import it into the new one.

The new fix for the crashing wallet for those who have the Bitshares-PTS wallet on Mac OS is now:

/Applications/BitShares-PTS.app/Contents/MacOS/BitShares-PTS -reindex

So I created a shortcut for the wallet and added "-connect=crptoseed.cloudapp.net:80" and this worked fine and I received a few shares. But now it is saying "no block source available" and I don't think I changed anything. What gives? I could really use some help here.

Here is my way to resolve "Error reloading block database. Do you want to rebuild the block database now?" when starting mac client(it will always failed when you click yes and quit when no). Hope its useful for someone in the same situation.

Before you take any action to fix the problem, BACKUP YOUR WALLET!

1. start the client with command line" ProtoShares-Qt -reindex".

2. after reindexing, "no block source" for 1 hour, so i found some node from this thread(https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=355.0).

its useful:help->debug->console and input commands:
addnode 61.238.157.8 add
addnode 54.254.192.95 add
addnode 54.207.21.146 add
addnode 54.206.30.227 add
addnode 54.219.164.14 add
addnode 146.185.172.136 add
addnode 162.243.14.13 add
addnode 5.9.24.81 add
addnode 23.92.25.118 add

addnode 162.243.197.231 add

is not the most efficient way to go about it

you would use

addnode 162.243.197.231 onetry

if it doesn't work, then it isnt likely to work any time soon

nothing works for me i  delete the protoshare folder and re extract the protoshare qt files , add all nodes in console, also checked firewall, but still the error in "No Block source ". help

if you have the latest version and have tried all the addnodes. It stands to reason that it is a firewall. Please do a clean install, temporarily turn off your firewall (5 minutes should do) and tell me if there is a change.
