Easy macOS and iOS Tips and Fixes
If the favicon is not showing up in Safari, specifically on your website's home page, check caching. Safari may be caching the previous version of your home page without the favicon. Try clearing your browser cache or opening the home page in a private browsing window to fix this.
Reindex your Apple Mailbox
- Quit Apple Mail if the app is running.
- Launch Finder and select Go from the Menu Bar.
- Hold down the Option key. This will bring up a new item in the Go drop-down menu: Library. Select this option.
- Select Mail > V5 (or the current version) > MailData. Locate and delete all the files that start with Envelope Index, such as “Envelope Index” or “Envelope Index-wal.”
Note: It’s a good idea to copy each file to your desktop before deleting. Launch Apple Mail. The next time you open Mail, it will build entirely new Envelope Index files. You may have to be patient—this process can take a while if you have a lot of messages for Mail to go through.
Now, everything should be working as normal! If so, you can get rid of the Envelope Index file copies from your desktop.
1. Open
/Library/Frameworksfolder in Terminal
2. Remove quarantine bits:sudo xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "Adobe AIR.framework"
When I covered the updated Shortcuts app in my iOS and iPadOS 13 review earlier this year, I argued how, thanks to parameters, Shortcuts actions provided by third-party apps could become native features of the Shortcuts app.
With his debut app Toolbox Pro, released today on the App Store, developer Alex Hay has taken this idea to its logical conclusion: Toolbox Pro is a new kind of “headless” app – a utility whose sole purpose is to complement and extend Apple’s Shortcuts app with over 50 new actions, providing a native implementation of functionalities that Apple hasn’t brought to Shortcuts yet. After having used Toolbox Pro for the past couple of months, not only is the app a clever idea well suited for Shortcuts’ parameter framework, but it’s also a must-have for anyone who relies on Shortcuts on a daily basis.
It turns out the solution is quite simple. You just need to visit the website in private mode to make Safari refresh/reload everything including the favicon for bookmark. And then when you go back to non-private mode, everything is refreshed. Phew.
1. Quit Safari.
2. In the Finder, select Go > Go To Folder.
3. Enter~/Library/Safari/Favicon Cache/and press Return.
4. Use Select All (Command-A) to select the database and cached items.
5. Drag these to the trash or press Command-Delete.
6. Empty the trash.
7. Launch Safari.
