Known Issue – SPSS Not Supported for macOS Sonoma Users

UFV Students and Employees attempting to access SPSS Statistics on the latest macOS will experience a compatibility issue.    SPSS Version 28 and 29 are incompatible with the latest macOS, Sonoma.  Users attempting to use SPSS on macOS 14 Sonoma cannot run the software.

Recommended solutions:

  • If possible, Mac users are asked not to upgrade to 14.0 Sonoma until the issue has been resolved by SPSS Statistics (IBM).
  • UFV students and employees can access a remote connection to a campus lab that would allow them to connect to SPSS.
