Can’t Boot after uninstalling Teamviewer on Mac OS Catalina 12/4/2019 Ran into this problem on a few macs. The scenario is that you've uninstalled teamviewer on macOS catalina and now your mac won't boot. Instead it give you an error that reads: 'Unrecoverable Error. SecurityAgent was unable to create requested mechanism TeamViewerAuthPlugin:Start. Basically it's a file that the OS is looking for to boot and it can't find it. Solution below: UPDATE! 3/01/20 The simplest fix: AuthDB Removal:
OLD FIX - Replace the Plugin. The Fix Option 1 - Target Disk Mode:
The Fix Option 2 - USB Thumb Stick & Terminal Command:
You're welcome. 1/16/2020 03:19:38 pm I tried your Option 2. After going to the terminal and entering Is /Volumes/ it just said file not found which seemed odd. So I entered the cp -r /Volumes/fixit/TeamViewerAuthPlugin.bundle /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Library/Security/SecurityAgentPlugins/ and restarted but got the same error. I'm getting 'the file I need' on another mac, saving it to a thumb drive, then using an adapter to connect it to the mini usb on my broken computer. Could this be a problem. Frustrated and perplexed. 2/10/2020 12:00:51 pm I have the same problem 3/9/2020 11:15:57 am Go with the updated steps, see above ' UPDATE! 2/10/20 There is a simpler fix than the one detailed below.

How to grant access to TeamViewer on your Mac. If you're using the latest release of TeamViewer 14 on your Mac running macOS 10.14 (Mojave), you will be presented with this dialog when you start TeamViewer: Note: if you're using an older version of TeamViewer, you won't see the dialog above. Instead, macOS will prompt you with the dialog below. I was about to update ConnectWise support and say “Any luck, still totally dead in the water” etc. When I tried something and it finally worked. I then did it on my 10.14Mac and my updated 10.14.1 Mac. It worked on both. And I updated the 10.14 device and ConnectWise Control STILL worked after the update (yay).
