I have been using IBM SPSS version 29 on Mac to analyze data for an ongoing project. I had noticed the software was slow to start up for about a month, and frequently crashed when trying to manipulating charts. However, while annoying, this was not directly impeding my progress and so I worked around it.
However, this morning when trying to generate outputs of a linear mixed model organized by a specific variable (i.e., split file), the program repeatedly crash, saying "An unknown error has terminated communication with the processor. The SPSS Statistics Processor is unavailable. Please restart the application to recover this session."
So far, I have tried restarting the software, restarting the computer, turning off unicode mode, and attempting the analysis with an earlier version of the data file. None of these solutions worked. Please advise as to how I can remedy this issue and continue my analyses.
