Step 1: Check your internet connection

The first thing you should do is to make sure that your internet connection is working properly. You can do this by opening a web browser and visiting a website like Google or Bing. If you can access the website without any problems, then your internet connection is fine. If not, then you may need to restart your router, modem, or computer, or contact your internet service provider for assistance.

Step 2: Update Teamviewer to the latest version

Another possible reason why you cannot connect to Teamviewer on your Mac is that your software is outdated. Teamviewer releases updates regularly to fix bugs and improve performance. Therefore, you should always keep your software up to date. To do this, follow these steps:

Open Teamviewer on your Mac.

Click on the Teamviewer menu at the top left corner of the screen.

Select Check for Updates from the drop-down menu.

If there is an update available, click on Install Update and follow the instructions.

Restart Teamviewer and see if the issue is resolved.

Step 3: Allow Teamviewer in your firewall settings

Sometimes, your firewall settings may block Teamviewer from connecting to the internet. This can happen if you have installed a third-party firewall software or if you have changed the default settings of your Mac's built-in firewall. To allow Teamviewer in your firewall settings, follow these steps:

Click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen.

Select System Preferences from the drop-down menu.

Click on Security & Privacy.

Click on the Firewall tab.

Find Teamviewer in the list of applications and make sure that it is allowed to accept incoming connections.

If it is not allowed, click on the red circle next to it and change it to a green circle.

Click on OK and close the window.

Restart Teamviewer and see if the issue is resolved.

Step 4: Restart your Mac and the remote computer

If none of the above steps work, you may need to restart your Mac and the remote computer that you are trying to connect to. Sometimes, a simple reboot can fix many issues and refresh your system. To do this, follow these steps:

On your Mac, click on the Apple logo at the top left corner of the screen.

Select Restart from the drop-down menu.

Wait for your Mac to restart and log in to your account.

On the remote computer, press and hold the power button until it shuts down.

Wait for a few seconds and then press the power button again to turn it on.
