urgent help with Mac MINI M4Pro

I am Kelly getting frustrated with my buy of the mac Mini. Used migration from iMac with i9 and thought "peace of cake" - unfortunately it is NOT!

2 TB means at the m4 pro only 1,46 TB available .. first problem (but solved by removing my extended collection of music). 2nd problem is way bigger:


"Onherstelbare fouten. SecurityAgent kan het gevraagde mechanisme TeamViewerAuthPlugin niet aanmaken: start" (sorry guys Dutch version)

I tried nearby everything to get the iMac up and running - no chance.

how can i delete everything for the iMac te restart the migration process once more (I used terminal to remove all teamviewer info's on the migration base computer the iMac i9.

3 days I am trying to get the iMac working .....

cheers from Holland


Mac mini, macOS 26.0

Just so we're on the same page, you've deleted the TeamViewer files from you iMac, right? Also have you installed and run any "cleaning", "optimizing", "speed-up", anti-virus or VPN apps on your Mac Mini or iMac?


Find Any File can help in removing leftover components of apps on your iMac that have been deleted.  Do the following:  


#1 - boot into Safe Mode according to Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support


NOTE: Safe Mode boot can take more than normal time as it's doing the following:


• Verifies your startup disk and attempts to repair directory issues, if needed

• Loads only required kernel extensions (prevents 3rd party kernel/extensions from loading)

• Prevents Startup Items and Login Items from opening automatically

• Disables user-installed fonts

• Deletes font caches, kernel cache, and other system cache files


#2 - download and run the shareware app Find Any File to search for any files with the application's or the developer's name in the file name.  For XXXX software you'd do the following search(es): 


1 - Name contains XXXX


Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop or Trash bin in the Dock for deletion.


FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  


#3 - reboot normally.


Then try the migration again.


By the way what monitor did you pair with the Mini? I got a 32" LG 4k for mine.
