3. If you have set the lock for your computer, please type the password to unlock your computer.

4. Click Full Disk Access – Privacy

5. Right-click on Dr.Fone - Phone Backup program icon, then highlight “Options” and choose “Show in Finder”.

6. Press and hold the left mouse button to move the “Dr.Fone - Phone Backup” icon to “Full Disk Access – Privacy”.
