Can anyone tell me how to get my iDisk to auto mount when i start my computer up?

My Powerbook already does this, all i did was put int he details in the .mac preferance pane and bam! everytime i boot its there.

My iMac i did the same thing but... i have to go to the go menu and mount it there, i can seem to find any preferences or tick boxs etc anywhere to make it auto mount!

Go to Finder-->Preferences

Under the "General" tab, check the "CD's DVDs and iPods" box under the section called "Show these items on the Desktop"

Actually, not obvious at all.... 😉

I've always had these things checked, and so never missed seeing the iDisk icon, but I would never have assumed that "CDs, DVDs, and iPods" would somehow cover iDisk. I would have assumed it fell under "Hard disks" (sort of) or "Connected servers".

On the other hand, the Finder->Preferences->Sidebar checkbox is explicit enough.
