  • 1.  Issues with Apple M1 Pro and/or Monterey 12.4 and SPSS 28??

    Posted Wed June 01, 2022 04:31 PM
    Hi all, 
    Just upgraded the laptop to Apple M1 pro with Monterey 12.4.
    SPSS 28.0.1.1 is running impossibly slow (takes 4-5 mins to startup), and it cannot correctly load data from excel or csv format (same data that I have used on my Intel version of Mac). I searched the forum, but didn't see anything. Is this a known issue. Is there a fix? I would appreciate any help.

    Hi, Anna.

    I was just speaking to one of my colleagues about this. He said...

    "We do run Stats 28.x on M1 Mac hardware, and note about at 25% speed hit due to the application being translated from Intel to Apple silicon instructions. I've not personally seen the user's issues with CSV or Excel files.  I just ran Stats 28.0.1.1 on an M1 Mac and imported a CSV file fine."
    "As for making Stats run native on Apple Silicon, it's on the roadmap."
    As for the data imports, are you seeing an error or warning message of any kind?

    Hi Eva,

    I'm not sure if this Exception above is related to your issues or not, but it looks like stats was unable to create a directory it needs to store information about extensions you have installed and other items.

    If you open a terminal window you should be able to do

    cd "~/Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics/28". 

    This is the directory that we are trying to create.  If that command fails, you can run
      mkdir -p "~    /Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics/28"
    and then
      chmod +rw "~    /Application Support/IBM/SPSS Statistics/28"

    This will create the directory and give you read and write permissions to that directory.

    Once you do that, try running SPSS Statistics again and see if it improves your start time.

    ​​
