    Jean- this rebooting suggestion doesn't work. Nor does restarting the computer. Do you have any useful suggestions?

    Hello @emarde

    Thank you for your message.

    What we could recommend you to do, is to uninstall fully TeamViewer and install the latest version of the software.

    You will find all the information you need in our Knowledge Base article in the links above.

    I hope this was useful.

    Cheers,

    i did uninstall and reinstalled the latest version, the issue persisted

    but I didn't check the box "remove Settings" because I don't want to lose my configuration

    @konmandi77 Have you checked if the ports 5938, 443 and 80 are open?

    More info about ports and TeamViewer here: Which ports are used by TeamViewer?

    80 and 443 are open. the scan does not pick up the 5938 though. 

    My firewall is switched of though, so I dont see how it can be blocking it!>??

    Jean, 

    I have opend a ticket from one week ago, and no one has come back to help.

    It is a major diappoitment over all, to bussiness users, as well as technical responsibility, if as I suspect, TV released a new version without having checked it properly and informed all, inculding business users about all that. 

    Who is going to to compensate for one week of business loss!? Most likely, no one!

    Hi @konmandi77 

    I strongly recomend you to update your MacOS to the latest version. Now is available the version 10.15.3.

    I'm telling you this because as I wrote and in other similar posts, I have see many many times applications to not function properly or even hanging up and after OS update everything worked like a charm!

    Personaly I had similar problems with many apps and with the Safari app which is the default MacOS internet browser! But after the update os the OS, it worked just fine.

    Best regards

    @konmandi77 We are sorry for the inconveniences caused. ?

    Could you send me in a private message your ticket ID?
    If no one replied to you, I'll make sure to accelerate the process.

    Many thanks in advance! ?

    [#33373059], the team viewer application does not work

    I was on the wait for over an hour calling the service technical team. 

    I also told them that i opened a ticket last week!

    I have now recieved an email to download the TV collector and sent them the data which I have done. 

    I still havent got a solution, suggestions are to install catalina (latest version of mac), and ensure port 5938. I have no clue how to do this and there is not substantial help online, on how to do this.

    It is just a matter of time now. ?

    Hi @konmandi77 

    I would recomend you to do a trick which many times gives some tracks to find and avoid the source of an issue. It has a bit of effort by your side, but it worth it the most of the times.

    The trick is to add a new user account to you existing machine, from System Preferences >> Users & Groups. Mark the new user as Administrator, with a name and a password.

    After creating it make a full uninstall of Teamviewer with current user, and remove the configuration files also.

    After that log out of current use, login with new user account, download and make a new installation of latest version of teamviewer and see how it will go.

    Please update with any little strange thing you will see on this trip.

    One last thing please, in previous post you wrote that you have Mac OS Mojave but in the last you wrote the Catalina version. What is valid of theese two?

    hi, 

    yea I had mojave but you told me to try upadeting the mac to the latest version and that could do the trick. so yes now i have the catalina.

    creating a new account, i dont think it would make a difference.

    the reason is simple. 

    last week when i realised TV did not connect, showing,  "teamviewer is starting, please wait",  'not rady, please chack your connection', i opened my second mac to see if it connects there. 

    it has the same problem exaclty. 

    how is poosible, two different mac laptops, one of which i hadnt switched on for almost a month, to have the exact same tv problem, the same day! 

    the issue is on the tv tech and not my laptop etc.

    and for the sake of it, i did it, and as predicted, same issue, ''not ready, check your connection''!Screenshot 2020-03-04 at 11.24.21.png

    Ok I undestand. 
    Have you tried to connect with this laptop but from other internet connection? 

    I mean by taking internet from other router and not by yours. 
    Is this test possible to make it?

  • I experienced this issue recently on a Ubuntu 20.04 installation. Using the System Monitor application I killed the teamviewerd process, which was not stopping when the GUI application was closed. Once that process was killed and the application restarted via the GUI TeamViewer connected immediately.

    I had also opened TCP/ UDP port 5938 on ufw.

  • I can confirm this on Windows 10 too.

    I had the same problem and then I quit the GUI, go to the task manager and kill the TeamViewer process.

    Open it again and it's all normal.

  • same issue here:

    • Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon
    • 4.15.0-112-generic
    • Intel© Core™2 Duo CPU T9900 @ 3.06GHz × 2

    latest version of teamvieuwer, reinstall or restart does not help.

  • This solved the problem on my home Windows 10 computer

    3 other Windows 10 computers associated with my login did not have the problem

    What solved the problem?

    I still have the problem on Linux, not on Windows
  • Same here! Happened right after I set a password for unattended accessimage.png
