Synergy Startup at Login

  1. GirlfriendinComa

    Great program! One problem I've had for a while but not bothered to follow-up on: though I have Synergy ticked to startup at login, it doesn't. It's definitely registered, so I'm not sure why this is happening. Advice?

    The most common reasons why Synergy will not launch at login include the following:

    a. You might not be using the latest version

    b. Your "login items" might be out-of-date, and pointing at an older version of Synergy

    c. You might have installed a new version of Synergy, but you left the old version on the system as well.

    So, the way to get Synergy to launch at login is therefore:

    1. Ensure you have installed the latest version of Synergy. Make sure you have not left any old copies of the software in another location on your system (for example, in /Library/PreferencePanes/ or ~/Library/PreferencePanes/).

    2. In the Synergy preferences, un-check the "Launch at login" preference and click "Apply", then re-check it and click "Apply". This forces any old or stale entries in your login items to be updated.

    That worked and sorry for the delay in saying thank you!
