Hi,


Something like this will be generated when the app is started up for the first time.

It may be repeated after certain Upgrades to the app.


This will be held is a .plist to do with the app.

There seem seem to be several that are current for the Calendar App.:-

com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist

com.apple.iCal.helper.plist

com.apple.iCal.plist


The issue will be whether new info is being written to these files.

Whilst in the ~/Library/Preferences folder go to the View Menu of the finder and choose Show View Options.

Choose Show Modified column if you don't already.


Check that the dates on the files are current.

If they are not then you will need to check Ownership and whether you have Read and Write permissions to the files.

Hello Faskine,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding you're repeatedly being prompted with updated information about the Calendars app. I can surely see how this would be concerning. I'm happy to help.

If you haven't already, I recommend choosing Continue, then quit the Calendar app and open it up again. If the issue persists try restarting your MacBook. If the issue continues, tell us how you close the pop up and any additional steps you may have done.

Have a great day!
