I'll add the traditional warning about SIMBL - that it has a habit of causing problems. It's a great app but it's very easy to forget it's there, and then you find that upgrading to the next version of OS X goes wrong in a nasty way because it's trying to work with apps that have changed. As of today, EasySIMBL stopped working on my Mac OS Yosemite 10.10.4. Surprisingly, I have another Mac, also Yosemite 10.10.4 with the same upgrades, on which EasySIMBL and Afloat are still working. EasySIMBL’s problems with 10.10.4 have been documented here as pointed out by cdz in the comments. MySIMBL is an SIMBL plugins manager designed to replace the EasySIMBL application that is no longer supported on more recent OS X versions. The utility offers you the possibility to download.

Ever since Apple released OS X Yosemite, and subsequently OS X El Capitan with redesigned Safari interface a lot of people were asking Apple for bringing favicons on the tabs back. While one cannot expect Apple to fix it any time soon (at least not until next OS X version) there is now a solution that was long awaited by everyone! SafariStand to the rescue. 0018

You may ask what favicon is? Short for Favorite icon, also known as a shortcut icon, Web site icon, tab icon or bookmark icon. It's a file containing one or more small icons, most commonly 16×16 pixels, associated with a particular website or web page.001a Those little icons on each tab were a great time saver for those who work with multiple tabs and there was no clear way to add them back.

By default Safari 8 (or Safari 9 in OS X El Capitan) stopped supporting Favicons in favour of colour less interface. While it doesn't seem like a big deal for most people, a lot of power users who use lots of tabs in their browser wasn't very happy about it since it kills productivity.

So how to get them back? Sure, there was Glimps but it's not supported on newest Safari browser breaking lots of other functionalities. For those wanting to get back their favicons there's now a better alternative!

Please note that if EasySIMBL is not working for you (versions older than 10.10.4 b4 still work) you can download SIMBL which EasySIMBL is based on. However the changes made to EasySIMBL prevent it from working on newer systems. It's suggested to try EasySIMBL first thou, as it may get fixed by the author by the time you read this. The difference is that SIMBL has no graphical interface so some steps have to be done manually.

Quick SIMBL instruction below:

1. Download SIMBL
2. Unpack SIMBL.zip package
3. Use SIMBL-0.9.9.pkg to install application (just follow installer with no changes needed)
4. After it's successfully installed simply copy plugins into /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins for all users, or ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins for just your account.
5. That's it.
6. After Safari restart everything should be working again. That is on Mac OSX Yosemite.

For Mac OSX El Capitan things get little complicated with the introduction of Rootless (as Apple calls it) or SIP (System Integrity Protection) mechanism. You can read about it on Total Finder website. We've covered How to get SIMBL working in Mac OS X El Capitan after upgrade in one of the newer blog posts. After following this a bit complicated procedure simply follow the steps described above to get your Safari 9 Favicons.

If you’re still using a Mac OS X the time will come when your computer won’t boot, or a problem may arise where you can’t take control of the device, and booting from an OS X installation media will be required.

This is why it’s recommended that you make a Mac OS X bootable USB when your Mac is in working conditions. However, if you find yourself on a scenario where your device (iMac, MacBook Pro, Air, Mac Pro or Mini) is not responding and you happen to have a Windows 10 device, then you can still be able to make a USB bootable installation media for your Mac OS X to reinstall the operating system using the Recovery Assistant.

These instructions will also work for Windows users who are running Mac OS X on a virtual machine and need to upgrade to the latest version. For instance, to OS X Yosemite.

Requirements

Before you dive into this guide, you’ll need a few things:

• A broken Mac computer with Mac OS X.
• A trial copy of the TransMac software.
• One high quality USB flash drive with 16GB of storage.
• A copy of Apple’s macOS (DMG file).

Now that you have all the necessary ingredients, you’re ready to make a Mac OS X bootable USB using the DMG file of the operating system with the steps below.

Create Mac OS X bootable USB installation media

Before you can use TransMac, you first need to partition your USB flash drive with a GPT partition, as a normal MBR partition may not work. To do this, you’ll need to use the Diskpart command-line utility on Windows 10.

Setting up GPT partition

Use these steps to set up a USB drive with a GPT partition:

1. Open Start on Windows 10.

2. Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result and select the Run as Administrator option.

3. Type the following command to open Diskpart and press Enter:

4. Type the following command to determine the USB flash drive and press Enter:

5. Type the following command to select the storage and press Enter:

   Quick tip: The select disk 1 command as an example, but you have to replace 1 with the number of the flash drive you want to use.

6. Type the following commands to delete everything from the USB thumb drive and press Enter:

7. Type the following command to convert the drive into a GPT partition and press Enter:

8. Type the following command to select the new partition and press Enter:

After you complete the steps, the USB flash drive from MBR to GPT format, you can use the steps below to create a bootable USB installation media to install Mac OS X.

Create USB install media

Use these steps to create a bootable media to install Mac OS X:

1. Download and install a copy of TransMac.

   Quick note: TransMac is a paid software, but it has a 15-day trial solution, that give us more than enough time to move the DMG files to the USB drive from Windows. (If you want to support the developer, you can purchase the full version.)

2. Insert the USB drive that you’ll use to fix your installation of OS X. (Remember that all the data in the USB will be erased. Make sure you take off any important documents.)

3. Right-click the TransMac software icon and Run as administrator. (You’ll be prompted to Enter Key or Run, because we’ll be using it once, click the Run option.)

4. On the left pane, you’ll see all the Windows PC drives listed, right-click the USB drive that you’re intending to use to reinstall Apple’s OS X and select the Restore with Disk Image option.

5. In the warning dialog box, click the Yes button.

6. Use the Restore Disk Image to Drive dialog box to browse for the DMG file with the installation files for Mac OS X Yosemite in this case, and click the OK button to create a bootable USB of the operating system.

   Now, you’ll have to wait a long time. No kidding. It could take one or two hours to complete the process depending on your computer and other variables.

Once your bootable USB installation media is ready, remove it and insert it into your Mac, power it on, holding down the Option key, and select the USB you just created to reinstall Mac OS X.

If you’re having issues trying to create a bootable media, you can get a USB flash drive that comes with Mac OSX ready to install.
