SPSS Statistics is not running on MacOS Big Sur Version 11.3.1

    Hi all
    Is there a chance to get SPSS Statistics Version 27.0.1.0 running on MacOS Big Sur Version 11.3.1. The software is installed but will not start at all. It's crashing even before I get able to put in the verification code for the software.

    Is this a known problem?

    Thanks for feedbacks

    Daniela

    Hi. I have v27.0.1 running on my Mac (11.3.1). I wonder if you can find a folder titled something like:

    <some path>/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports where <some path> on your machine might be /Users/daniela

    There might be a crash log there that could help us understand what's going wrong.

    In the meantime, you should try this, too:

    1. In Finder, navigate to where the application is installed - probably "/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics 27".
    2. Right-click on SPSS Statistics.app and select Show Package Contents
    3. Select "Contents" then "MacOS"
    4. On the "stats" item, right-click, go to Services > New iTerm Window here
    5. In the terminal window, enter ./stats
    6. Copy and paste whatever output SPSS gives you from that invocation of the process.

    Thanks!
