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. We'll lay it out here: FIX - AuthDB Removal: ' with the only remark that to boot into recovery, switch off your Mac, then press and hold keys [command] and [R] and switch on your Mac (keep the two keys pressed until the apple logo appears, the you can release them). The ret of the steps should be straight-forward. 1/20/2020 09:42:46 am Agh, I cant even find the Terminal command. Can you publish a picture where it should be. I searched every drop down menu.. 1/26/2020 07:15:46 am 1/29/2020 06:55:18 am I used option 1, many, many thanks this worked perfectly. How do I manage to uninstall Teamviewer permanantly? The reason beoing I have heard of some scams using it to hack into computers. 3/9/2020 09:39:29 am I can’t do that :( can you help me please??? 3/9/2020 11:17:41 am Go with the updated steps, see above ' UPDATE! 2/10/20 There is a simpler fix than the one detailed below.

My son unplugged a flight simulator joy stick?? and the message came up! 2/24/2020 02:04:07 am I’ve tried command R and many other key combinations I’ve seen in online discussion groups.

Any thoughts? 2/24/2020 10:44:42 am Awesome it’s working 3/6/2020 06:38:30 am The new solution ' UPDATE! 2/10/20 FIX - AuthDB Removal: ' worked like a charm right away. Kudos to you, brothers and/or sisters :) PS: all this after a long session with Apple Support involving a 2nd-line 'senior advisor' who could only give me the standard incompetency-proving solution of 'wipe&reinstall macOS'.. pff. 3/13/2020 10:37:35 pm Hi i tried your updated fix posted below for the Teamviewer reboot error. I was successful up until the step to enter command: rm '/Volumes/<your disk>/var/db/auth.db' I get “no such file or directory”. I’ve verified name of my HD is the same: Macintosh HD.
