Reminders keeps asking for access to location. Where are prefs stored?

Several times a day, on my MacBook Pro, I get a message that Reminders wants access to my location. I always click Yes (or Allow), but it keeps asking me, over and over again. And for the record, the computer never leaves my bedroom.
I figured its preferences got corrupted, so I figured I'd trash them -- except I can't find them. There's no "com.apple.Reminders.plist" in either of the preferences folders.
Does anyone know in which document Reminders' prefs are stored? Or does anyone know of another fix for this problem?
Thanks.

Is Reminders checked in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Location Services? If not, click the lock in the bottom left to unlock that pane, enable Location Services, check Reminders in the list, and then click the lock icon again...

N86, PAYG - keeps asking for Access Point

Hi, I have a N86 with O2 on pay-as-you-go. For some reason, it's keeps asking me for a "Access point user name" and password. It asks this even when I not trying to use the phone.
The phone works for calls. and I can connect to the internet to browse the web. I can't connect to the internet to use data to use AGPS though.
Anyway, it sounds as if the phone is regularly trying to connect to an access point to obtain some data. Any ideas why would be appreciated...I really can't think that anything is set up that should cause this.

go to connectivity settings and set to automatic instead of always ask . Or as aspergerguy suggested turn geo tagging on and off as required , but if you check your settings in connectivity it should work without asking good luck
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

What is "exited?" and why does it keep asking for access to Facebook?

Has anyone else had this appear?
I'm running the iOS 7 beta and every time I use the Facebook app or Safari I get about 4 alerts on screen with the phrase:
"exited?" is requesting access to your contacts and basic information on Facebook
I have no idea what it is so I keep disallowing it... anyone got any clues? Searching the web yields no results

This isn't the place for iOS 7 talk yet.
Please ask all questions on the developer forums at

Mackeeper keeps asking for access to my confidential keychain information

I recently updated my mackeeper account that was due for renewal and since doing so have been receiving the prompt below, about 5 times a day!!!!! After some research I decided to delete keychain from my apps, can anyone advice me on how to stop the prompts?
I asked mackeeper and I got this shady response: below (The reason I say shady is because my mac was doing some weird stuff until I uninstalled some adware stuff and I was not happy to go near it again)
They said:
- Download this adware removal script: http://www.thesafemac.com/downloads/TSMART.zip (You may want to search for an alternate solution, but this one worked satisfactory a number of times)
- Quit all running web browsers:
    1. Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the screen;
    2. Select 'Force quit...' from a drop-down menu;
    3. Look for: Safari, Google Chrome, Firefox (widely used browsers), click on their names one by one, and select Force quit.
- Open TSMART.zip and run the TSM Adware Removal tool script, follow on-screen recommendations;
- Restart your Mac: Click on the Apple sign() at the upper left corner of the screen and choose 'Restart...';
I'd also suggest you install either AdBlock or AdBlockPlus extension for your web browser (this will prevent many annoying commercials from popping-up): https://getadblock.com/ or https://adblockplus.org/
Please see more information about the ad-injection software on this Apple page: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock to the Trash. You must open the Applications folder as above.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.

N8 camera keeps asking for access point setting

Most times when I start the camera I get the popup saying "Network connection required. Define access point to connect?". I realise that it'll need a connection because I've enabled geo tagging, but shouldn't I only have to set this once? I've looked in the menus & can't find anything in there to set it permanently. It;'s most annoying & I reckon I'll be missing photo opportunities because of it.

What is "appleidauthagent"? It keeps asking for access to a key chain

When I power up my iMac I get a dialogue box stating that appleidauthagent wants access to a key chain that I do not even have on the computer anymore. I usually hit "Cancel" or waith a minute or so and the dialogue goes away. I am not sure if this causes any problems, but at the very least it is very annoying.
Is there a way to keep this from happening?
Thanks!

I tried your fix but still didnt stop the popup - however I had to remove the following files as well
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.idisk*.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist
~/Library/Preferences/MobileMeAccounts.plist.lockfile
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist
~/Library/Prefernces/ByHost/com.apple.coreservices.appleidauthenticationinfo*.plist.lockfile
and then rebooted computer
I believe it is to do with remnant files from mobileme.com, mac.com and iDisk
problem now solved

GMail keeps asking for password when other accounts are fine

Currently I am running 4 IMAP and 1 Exchange account on Mail. I am trying to add a fifth IMAP GMail account but can't get past the setup screen as it keeps saying my password is wrong when it clearly is correct.
How can I get IMAP running again and correctly on Mail?
Thank you

So I removed the buggy GMail account from Mail and waited a day. Today I decided to re-add it and all was well for one hour until the pop up for passwords happened again... I went into Preferences and accounts and saw my password wasn't stored so I added it and saved but still same issue.
Also I added this account to my iPhone and it was working fine til an hour again so maybe a syncing issue?

no typo... when i put mouse over C: that is what it said.. I minimsed Encore and Prem , as they were non responsive on every action for a minute or two... then closed, then uninstalled cs2 and then got 13 GB not enough to defrag( it did say it couldn't defrag a few files??? , which i do often.. enough to open them, tread very carefully, then burn the dvd. Preview was too slow to check, so luckily...well i checked all had sound, all footage was ok, all links worked and burnt. It took 4 hours to transcode, but it worked. Then I made 20 copies using encore...so with patience, assistance from the world I am back on track, but would love to clear the computer up so it can be defraged correctly and i have some speed back, and put my personal stuff back on, Pre project...CHEERS

HT6114 my hot mail account will not let me access it keeps asking for password but won't authorise it?

my hotmail account will not open. keeps asking for password but will not accept the password when i enter it. its the correct passwrd?

Hello Duncan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Mail on your Mac. I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
If you entered the correct password in the password dialog in Mail, but continue to be asked for your password, try these solutions.
Open Keychain Access, then locate and delete the mail account password item.
Open Disk Utility, select the volume (for your hard disk or disks) in the list, click First Aid, then Verify Disk. After you’ve verified (and repaired, if necessary) the disk, try sending yourself a message.

If you mean the hexidecimal equivalent of the alphanumeric password, then you can find this via the AirPort Utility, as follows:
AirPort Utility > Select the AirPort > Manual Setup
On the AirPort Utility's menubar select Base Station > Equivalent Network Password
