SPSS 17 for Snow Leopard patch

SPSS 17 for Snow Leopard patch. 

At first, you must have SPSS 17.  If you don’t have it, you can search its torrent in your favorite search web, just type: “torrent spss 17 mac.dmg”you’ll find a 495 Mb file.

Then, apply the patch files (957 mb.). 

SPSS 17 works perfect on Leopard 10.5

On Snow Leopard, there are two ways to run SPSS 17.

Way 1

This is how I have installed it on my mac. You can check the versions 10.6.5 and 17.0.3 are working on http://{spam link removed}/gO6Kz2 on http://{spam link removed}/dUAUZn and on http://bayimg.com/KAbgIAADI . On my mac -at least- SPSS 17.0.3 works flawlessly.

1) Make a partition of your hard disk and install Leopard 10.5.8 on it.

2) On Leopard, disable Internet access of your computer.

3) Install SPSS 17. You can activate the modules in any moment.

4) Install SPSS patch 17.0.1

5) Install SPSS patch 17.0.2

6) Install SPSS patch 17.0.3

Note: the patch installers may just say “SPSS 17.0 patch”, but they do install 17.0.1 17.0.2 and 17.0.3

7) Check SPSS is working properly.

8) Enable the Internet access.

9) Boot on Snow Leopard (I think it should also work on Lion).

10) Right clic any .sav file. Select “open with”and “Other”, select “All applications”(or whatever, my mac OS language is set in Spanish, sorry) select the SPSS that is installed on Leopard “PASWStatistics17.0”and clic on the “Open”button.

Way 2:

One of my classmates has tested this one. It also works fine on his computer.

1) Install Leopard 10.5.8 on your hard disk drive.

2) Disable Internet access of your computer.

3) Install SPSS 17. You can activate the modules in any moment.

4) Install SPSS patch 17.0.1

5) Install SPSS patch 17.0.2

6) Install SPSS patch 17.0.3

Note: the patch installers may just say “SPSS 17.0 patch”, but they do install 17.0.1 17.0.2 and 17.0.3

7) Check SPSS is working properly.

8) Enable the Internet access.

9) Upgrade from Leopard 10.5 to Snow Leopard 10.6 on the hard disk that also has SPSS 17.0.3 Important: upgrade only, do not format the hard disk drive. Now your mac computer will have the Java versions 5 and 6, and will be able to open SPSS 17.0.3

10) Check SPSS is working properly.

Maybe someone thinks the files have malware. So:

- 17.0.1 (178 mb.): Is included in the torrent. I don’t know another “trustworthy”source.

- 17.0.2 (758 mb.): Download from: http://support.spss.com/ProductsExt/Statistics/Patches/17.0.2/Client/mac/17.0.2_Readme.html

The website asks you for a username and a password, copy and paste these: username: guest@mailinator.com and password: guest1 . If they don’t work, get a username and a password free at support.spss.com

- 17.0.3 (22.6 mb.): Download from: http://www.spss.fi/tuki/spss17patchit/PASWStatistics17.0.3MacPatch.dmg

That's all.

Good luck!
