Security & Privacy window keep poping up almost every 30minutes

As the title, the window(under picture) appears almost every 30 minutes. It's related to location information, but I don't know what to do.

From the Screen Shot in previous posting, the Location Services has not yet been Enabled at all and thus the frequent Pop ups. Just Unlocked the Padlock in lower Left of Screen Shot with the Computer Password and then put a Check Mark ( by clicking it ) in Enable Location Services. The below that choose which individual Apps by same means to give Permission to use the Location Service. Once that is done, click the Padlock ( lower left ) and done.

 Jack1659,


You're welcome! Based on the details you've given, the pop ups may be triggered by the new app fantastical calendar. When this app is open, it will try and obtain the permissions it requires for use on your Mac.


The best way to get these pop ups to stop, would be to grant the permissions using the Security & Privacy box. First, unlock the box that you see by clicking the padlock and entering your administrative password.


Then, click the checkbox beside Enable Location Services. Once this is enabled, you are able to enable the Location Services for the fantastical calendar by clicking the checkbox beside it.


Finally, lock the padlock and you're done!


Cheers!

Hey there Jack1659!


It sounds like your Security & Privacy Preferences on Mac is unexpectedly popping up. We'd be glad to give you a few helpful tips to resolve this.


To start, we'll need to ask a few questions to help find you the best troubleshooting route.


Could you tell us if you recently installed any new app or extension that requires certain permissions?


Are you able to restart the Mac? If so, does the pop up continue?


Let's have you start up in Safe Mode. Does the issue persist? For steps on how to access safe mode, look here: Start up your Mac in safe mode


We look forward to hearing from you!
