Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Safari issue with a "pop up"

Why does the following "pop up" frequently when I am using Safari? “5008235715115937309” wants access to control “Safari”. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “Safari”, and to perform actions within that app.


I have always clicked "Don't Allow" except once when I accidentally clicked "OK".


How can I stop the pop up from reoccurring?


Thanks


Derek
