If other users are having this issue, download the SPSS 29 patch from the IBM website:
https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/defect/aCI3p0000004Khs/dt243265?language=en_US
Once here, look on the right side and select the most current update. As of 16 Oct 2023, it is 29.0.1.1-IM-S29STATC-MAC-IF001.
Once the zip file is downloaded, copy the "libplatep.dylib" exec file and move it to SPSS.
To move it to SPSS, find the program in Applications (could read "IBM SPSS Statistics"). Open the folder and right click on the SPSS program. Select "Show Package Contents", and then open the "Contents' folder. Next open the "lib" folder and paste the "libplatep.dylib" exec (new patch) file from above. The user will have to select "Replace" for it to overwrite the current patch.
The program should work.
If you're talking about IBM SPSS, I suggest that you contact their developer/support team and ask them.
the IT service of my uni said that I have two options: (1) to wait for SPSS to upgrade (2) do downgrade my mac by basically resetting it.
It's a mess.
There is a new patch for SPSS 29 released by IBM - for Mac OS Sonoma problem. You can download the patch with your developer account. Fix Pack: 29.0.1.0-IM-S29STATC-MAC-IF001
Hello, could you please help me with installing that patch? I've downloaded it but I don't understand the instruction
SPSS is not yet supported by the new macOS Sonoma, but IBM (SPSS) are currently working on a fix.
Have already solved the Problem! And found the folder with a right mouseclick on "SPSS Statistics".
How do I upgrade from v28 to v29 in order to be able to access the patch (and without losing access to my current data files)? I assume the patch won't work on earlier versions?
My device lost
It's my Nwo device
Was this for Version 28 or Version 29? I tried for Version 29 and it did not work. Please let me know and thanks!
It was version 29. Download the fix from IBM. Then click on SPSS app but don’t open it. Option click on it and open contents. Find the folder called lib and paste in the file from IBM.
This was very helpful. Thank you!!!
You're an angel and mine is working now after following your detailed instructions :)
Look for Virginiaslimmms comment and follow the instruction cos mine started working after I did what they suggested
You are amazing! Thank you so much for figuring that out. It's finally working!
