Re: Starting An App Automatically At Login

2018-11-25 Thread Pete De Vasto 
Thanks to all for your replies. Sean, I had forgotten about the Open at Login. 
Option for apps on the dock, and since both mail and messages were there, that 
would have been excellent! What I wound up doing in System Preferences, after 
clicking the lock to allow changes, was to click the Add button, then go to the 
toolbar and do a search for mail, then messages. Both apps now open up on 
startup, which is exactly what I wanted.

Subject: Starting An App Automatically At Login

Hi all,

I’m having trouble figuring out how to do this under Mojave. I want to have 
Mail and Messages start automatically each time I login. So I go to system 
Preferences > Users and Groups, select my account, then go to the Login Items 
tab. But only one app comes up in the list of available apps, and when I click 
the Add button I can’t seem to find the list of all apps I can choose from. It 
looks like a Finder-type window is opening, but again, I can’t figure out how 
to get to the list of apps. And yes, I did click the lock to make changes. Can 
someone help me with this?

Many thanks,
Pete De Vasto

Re: Starting An App Automatically At Login

2018-11-24 Thread 'Shawn Krasniuk' via MacVisionaries 
Another way you can open apps automatically at login is if you have them in the 
Dock, find them and open the contextual menus with VO+Shift+M. Then arrow down 
until you hear open at login and press return. Note that you have to do this 
for every app you want opened at login. HTH.

Re: Starting An App Automatically At Login

2018-11-24 Thread Steve Matzura 
I'm not on Mojave yet, but here's an easier-to-implement solution. 
Before shutting your system down, open anything you want automatically 
opened the next time you boot. Then, in the Shut Down dialog, check the 
box that lets you reopen all windows on the next boot. That will get you 
around the Preferences/Login problem until you can solve that one.
