SPSS 28 on MAC OS Monterey 12.6 No Output No Syntax

  • 1.  SPSS 28 on MAC OS Monterey 12.6 No Output No Syntax

    Posted Mon October 17, 2022 10:32 AM
    Hello dear SPSS community, 
    I am using version 28 on a Mac with OS Monterey 12.6. 
    Data sets can be opened and also analysed deskptitively. 
    Apart from descriptive statistics, no calculations can be made. The output opens, but no results appear. Only: is processed. 
    It is also not possible to create or open a syntax. 
    Attached is the data of the OS device. I hope for your help. 
    Kind regards
    Laura

    Hi.

    First, please try this:

    Run the same set of syntax that gave you that output, but before you do, run this syntax:

    OMS /SELECT ALL /DESTINATION FORMAT=SPV OUTFILE="<some path and file name.spv" VIEWER=NO /TAG="X".
    <then all your syntax here>
    OMSEND TAG="X".

    After that, try to open up that SPV file that the OMS saved. Will it display the output?

    If that fails, try changing the OMS command to FORMAT=HTML OUTFILE=<some path and file name.htm" and let's see if that gives you readable output.

    Hello, 

    thanks for the quick reply. But I am not able to even open the syntax oder insert it into the syntax Window. 
    If I want to navigate to the syntax window via the tool bar nothing works.  I tried to start the Programm via the Terminal with:

    /Applications/IBM\ SPSS\ Statistics/SPSS\ Statistics.app/Contents/MacOS/stats

    This worked for once, now it is not working anymore. Any ideas? 

    Best regards, 
    Laura

    I see. I missed that part earlier.

    I would like you try starting SPSS from the terminal window. Particularly, I would like what SPSS prints to that window after it has been started.

    Open a terminal window and issue these commands, please:

    cd "/Applications/IBM SPSS Statistics/SPSS Statistics.app/Contents/MacOS"
    ./stats

    With such strange behavior of the program, I would expect (I hope) that the program prints out some kind of exception(s), so we can start to understand what is going on here.

    It looks like SPSS is trying to write to a folder it needs, but it doesn't appear to have permission to do so.

    The folder in question is most likely: ~/Library/Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics/28

    Could you please check and make sure that folder has permissions?

    From that console window:

    chmod 0755 ~/Library/"Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics"

    then, re-start SPSS from the console window and let's see what happens.

    Also, I just want to make sure that you have the latest version of SPSS. Go here to upgrade to 28.0.1 if necessary.

    Sorry my bad, found the folder and checked all permissions. 

    Trying to put the code in the console did not quite work I guess: 

    Lauras-MacBook-Air:~ laurastier$ chmod 0755 ~/Library/"Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics"

    chmod: /Users/laurastier/Library/Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics: No such file or directory

    OK, well that's important to know. We need that directory.

    In a terminal window:
    cd ~/Library
    cd "Application Support"
    cd IBM
    mkdir "SPSS Statistics"
    chmod 0755 "SPSS Statistics"

    I want to make sure that all these commands are run separately, so I can see if any of them fail.

    Hi alright, here are the outputs: 

    Lauras-Air:~ laurastier$ cd ~/Library

    Lauras-Air:Library laurastier$ cd "Application Support"

    Lauras-Air:Application Support laurastier$ cd IBM

    Lauras-Air:IBM laurastier$ 

    Lauras-Air:IBM laurastier$ mkdir "SPSS Statistics"
    No Permissions

    I changed the permission with the Chmod 755 and in the folder:
    After this I tried this: 

    Lauras-Air:~ laurastier$ mkdir "SPSS Statistics"

    mkdir: SPSS Statistics: File exists

    Lauras-Air:~ laurastier$ chmod 0755 "SPSS Statistics"

    Lauras-Air:~ laurastier$ chmod 0755 ~/Library/"Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics"

    chmod: /Users/laurastier/Library/Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics: No such file or directory

    Lauras-Air:~ laurastier$ 

    For the SPSS Statistics folder the permission for my admin is read & write.

    Hi Laura, this sounds like a folder ownership issue.

    Can you run the following and tell us who the owner of the IBM folder is:

    1. cd "~/Library/Application Support" <return>
    2. ls -l <return>

    See if there is an IBM sub-folder in the above listing and if so, make sure the user who is running Stats is the owner of that folder. If the folder does exist look at the files within that "IBM" folder and see if there is an "SPSS Statistics" file or sub-folder within the "IBM" folder.

    If "SPSS Statistics" already exists in the "IBM" folder, is it a file or a folder/directory? If it is a file, that file should be moved, renamed, or deleted.

    If the owner of either of the above folders is not the same as the user account that is logged in and attempting to run Statistics, then follow the steps as described in entry #16 of the posting here:
    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datascience/discussion/simulation-builder-wont-open#bm15f2ba70-fc69-482a-aa68-50188ad1f402

    Let us know please if changing the folder ownership to match that of the account running SPSS Statistics solves the problem.

    Hi Laura,

    Let's try it with your full user path instead of the '~' shortcut (which doesn't like being quoted):

    1. cd "/Users/laurastier/Library/Application Support" <return>
    2. ls -l <return>

    Then follow the steps described in #12 above.

    Where you tried: 

     /Users/laurastier/Library/Application Support

    You needed:
    cd "    /Users/laurastier/Library/Application Support"

    then do

    ls -l

    Try that and see what happens.

    OK, that's good. For some reason, "root" (not you) owns the IBM folder.

    See what Curtis wrote earlier:

    If the owner of either of the above folders is not the same as the user account that is logged in and attempting to run Statistics, then follow the steps as described in entry #16 of the posting here:
    https://community.ibm.com/community/user/datascience/discussion/simulation-builder-wont-open#bm15f2ba70-fc69-482a-aa68-50188ad1f402

    Let us know please if changing the folder ownership to match that of the account running SPSS Statistics solves the problem.

    Thanks Rick. I had the same problem with SPSS 29 on macOS Ventura. The command line "chmod 0755 ~/Library/"Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics" helped solve the issue!
    Thanks :).
