V22 crashed, now no toolbar?

[Ian Martin-2]

After V22 crash, the default toolbar with useful things like dialog recall etc. has disappeared.

I've tried repairing permissions and restarting.  "Customize Toolbar" doesn't seem to have the features that were lost.

Is there a way to reboot the default toolbar?  Hopefully not reinstalling SPSS?

regards,
Ian

David,

Thanks for the pointer, but I believe that's a windows-specific solution?   Or at least, I've no idea what an HKEY is, nor can I find same using file content search on my machine (mac).

Any other thoughts, or anyone else?

regards,
Ian

On a Mac, the Windows Registry isn't very useful :-)  You need to delete the file

~/Library/Preferences/com.ibm.spss.plist

which is where  the equivalent information is stored on a Mac.

If you are running on OS X 10.9, you will also need to run this command:
killall -u your-user-name cfprefsd
Your user name can be found by running
whoami

I tried your suggestion Jon, but it didn't work.  OS 10.8.5.

Deleted the com.ibm.spss.plist file from library/preference and it hasn't been recreated?  Also restarted and repaired permissions.

Ian

Jon,

Thanks for that, it seems to have done the trick!  Good to know.

Ian and Jon,

I am experiencing the same problem with V22 on my Mac. I have tried everything Ian has described, except for the last set of instructions from Jon that seem to have solved the problem.

I do not see a link to the script file that Jon refers to below.

Would it be possible to share this solution with me?

Many thanks,

Drew

Hi all,

Sorry, I can't find the last set of instructions from Jon that seem to have solved the problem.

Any chance I could be sent the script?

Much appreciated!

[Ruben Geert van den Berg]

I have the same problem with Version 22. However, the toolbar I created myself is still visible in all windows and contains everything I need. I found that creating SPSS toolbars is super easy and IMHO a better option  than standard toolbars anyways.

I wrote some instructions here: http://www.spss-tutorials.com/spss-toolbar-building/

The absence of standard toolbars doesn't bother me at all and I won't waste my time on getting them back. Good riddance.

I have attached the necessary script to this message. I hope it works!
