Stopped working and will not open, I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times. WTF!!!
I want my money back!!!
Same problem, already uninstalled and reinstalled twice in recent weeks
Mac OS updated, and now back to Norton not opening
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7
Norton, do you have an answer please?
I've got exactly the same problem, I've tried doing the solution they have suggested and what a surprise it doesn't work. Works fine of my Microsoft laptop, but it just won't start on my iMac running Monterey 12.2.1 just continually says "Pending". This has been going on for far too long, perhaps Norton need to invest more time sorting out their products for Mac users?
I cannot get Safe Web Plus to work. It just sits there and spins. This happened after I tried to link it to Google ... but the instructions to unlink it don't work.
I am running Mac OS Monterey 12.2.1 and Norton 360 9.0.13.... Well, I am trying to run it. So for the past couple days when I open Norton 360 I get a "PENDING" screen and it never opens. I have had problems over the past several months with Norton and believe that it is time to look elsewhere for my security. At this price it should be idiot proof, and I'm no idiot. I have used Norton for something probably in excess of 20 years and their customer care has plummeted in that time period to the point where it is pretty much useless now.
Also, I have tried to remove Norton from my system without success. Much like others, when i try to open the Removal Tool, the system won't allow me to as it is "From an UNKNOWN DEVELOPER". Really? It is Norton's program, at least in theory. I did manage to open it once but it gives me a "key" symbol where you enter the Admin Password and when I type in the password, knowing it won't show, it says wrong password. I have concerns that my system hasn't been protected for long enough that now it has been hacked and the virus is blocking access to Norton so that I can't repair the damaged program... So hundreds of dollars wasted. Of course I get spam on a weekly, almost daily basis about my renewal of Norton........ Anyway, less than amused. NORTON< Would you please reach out and see what we can do??
I followed these instructions to a T on my MacBook Pro, Catalina 10.15.7 operating system. No help after seven or so attempts. When I try to activate the uninstaller, it says"RemoveNortonMacFiles.command" cannot be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Below that it says macOS cannot verify that this app is free from malware. Next step anyone?
Did additional research and found further community info and the following support link. This helps resolves the issue. Nice to view 'faulted' system files actively removed using the terminal control and then enjoying the correct Norton 360 re-install with subsequent access. Access and view link below:
