Dear Alliant Community,
We hope this message finds you well. We would like to inform you about an important development regarding the compatibility of IBM SPSS with the latest MacOS Sonoma release.
After conducting our testing, please be aware that IBM SPSS is currently incompatible with the latest MacOS Sonoma release. This means that if you are planning to upgrade to MacOS Sonoma or have already done so, you may experience crashes or other issues when attempting to run IBM SPSS.
To address this situation, we would like to offer you several options:
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our IT support team at ithelp@alliant.edu or visit our IT Help Desk at https://ithelp.alliant.edu.
As we become aware of resolution by IBM, we will provide updates. This does not impact those working on Windows PC or those who have not updated their MAC. Your academic success remains our top priority, and we are committed to providing any support that we are able during this transition period for SPSS.
Sincerely,
Alliant IT

To address this situation, we would like to offer you several options:
- Wait for IBM to Release a New Version or Patch: IBM is likely aware of the compatibility issue and is working on a solution. We recommend keeping an eye on IBM's official website or announcements for updates regarding the release of a compatible version or patch for MacOS Sonoma. Please note that this may take some time, and we do not have control over IBM's development timeline.
- Stay with the Previous MacOS Release (Ventura): If you rely heavily on IBM SPSS for your coursework or research and cannot afford any disruptions, you may consider staying with the previous MacOS release, Ventura, until a compatible version or patch is made available. You can do this by refraining from updating your operating system.
- Use IBM SPSS in Our Library or Computer Labs: We have dedicated PC computers in our library and computer labs. These machines are equipped with IBM SPSS, and you are welcome to use them for your data analysis needs. Our staff will be available to assist you with any questions or issues you may encounter.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our IT support team at ithelp@alliant.edu or visit our IT Help Desk at https://ithelp.alliant.edu.
