Many 'Analyze' Options are missing in the dropdown menu - SPSS v29 Mac Monterey version 12.5.1 - Stats Premium

    Hi there,

    I have been having trouble with seeing the options below regression under the Analyze toolbar option on my mac.

    After reinstalling, reactivating the license, deleting the lservrc file it does not look like this is an issue with licensing. When troubleshooting it appears the lock code, lservrc contents were all correct. Deleting the plist and restarting was also unsuccessful.

    After reading the below on here I wondered if this was something similar.
    My Mac with SPSS v28 crosstabs and frequency option not showing in my descriptive analysis menu

    When trying to run a syntax to see if the missing commands still work it appears the syntax file does not open at all.

    Will trying Rick's shell script work in this situation?

    Thanks.

    Hi Rick,

    Thank you so much for the quick response. Can you provide a little more detail on how to proceed with the shell file attached. Can you give me a little pointer as to how I apply all the contents successfully?

    Thanks,
    James

    Hi. Just save that script to someplace obvious, like your Desktop. Open it in a text editor so you can put your userid in there. If you don't know what that is, in the terminal window type whoami. The string that is returned is your userid; copy and paste that into the script in the obvious place. 

    Back at the command prompt, type sudo -sh <path/script_name>

    The Mac will ask for your password; that is the password you use to log into the machine.

    The script will do its thing. After that it will exit and the prompt will be back. You should be able to start SPSS as normal at this point; hopefully, it will behave itself from now on.

    Hi Rick, I ran the script but it seems like the SPSS software has been uninstalled from the machine. I restarted the machine and this is still the case.

    Best regards,
    James

    Oh, NO.

    Do you have the installation package to re-install?
