I downloaded macossierra yesterday. Siri is asking me to allow location in settings and privacy, but I can't tick enable locations.  It is grayed out. help is needed

I downloaded yesterday sierra of mac os.  However, I asked Siri what the weather conditions were in my position. She said that to go into the settings under Security and confidentiality and allow my place.  I did, but I'm not able to check the enable places.  It is grayed out.  Does anyone else have this problem.

Hello dogsandcats,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

I understand your message that you are not able to activate location Services within the parameters of security and privacy on your Mac. I know how it is important for you to be able to turn on location Services. When you go to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, make sure you click on the padlock at the bottom left and type your admin password. Then you should be able to turn on location Services.

On location in OS X and Safari Services

Activation of location Services

Follow these steps to turn on location services in Mountain Lion OS X or later

  1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
  2. Click the Privacy & Security icon in the System Preferences window.
  3. Click the Privacy tab.
  4. If the icon of padlock in the lower left corner is locked (), click on it and enter an admin name and password to unlock ().
  5. Select location Services.
  6. Check the box "enable location services".

Best regards.
