Troubleshooting
Problem
You attempt to open SPSS Statistics on the macOS. The software opens then closes right away.
Symptom
Other profiles on the same device succeed. A new local profile also succeeds.
Cause
This behavior can happen when the profile becomes corrupted.
Resolving The Problem
Reset permissions on the failing profile.
Open the Terminal.app and type: diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`
If you get a message saying "permissions reset on user home directory failed (error -69841)", enter: chflags -R nouchg ~
Then, enter the diskutil command again: diskutil resetUserPermissions / `id -u`
(Note: The quotation marks used are "back" quotation marks. To create a "back" quotation mark, press the ` key.
This key is located directly under the Esc key. This key is also used for typing the tilde ( ~ ) character.)
