Safari not starting on Login

[scouser75]

Guys, I just "updated" to Mavericks. I have Safari setup to startup automatically on Login - but this isn't happening.

Is this yet another Mavericks problem? If so, has anyone managed to fix it - and how?

Hi,

I don't know, but you could try :

In System Preferences, Users & groups, Login items : delete Safari, then add it again.

If this does not work, try deleting the relevant .plist file :

~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginitems.plist

Hi Bruno, thanks for your quick reply.

I've deleted Safari and readded but this didn't work.

Can you give me instructions on how to delete the .plist please?

 

[Bruno09]

In Finder :

Menu bar / Go, press Option key to unveil the Library.

Library / Preferences : move com.apple.loginitems.plist to the trash.

Do not empty the trash.

Restart the Mac.

If this did not work, open the trash, right-click on com.apple.loginitems.plist, choose "put back", then "replace".

Thanks mate. Alas Trashing the .plist didn't work.

Any other suggestions, please?

Did you readd Safari to the login items ?

(trashing the .plist has emptied the login items list).

If not, add it again, of course.

But that still didnt work.

Strange indeed.

I would try to use "Maintenance" (Titanium software), just in case.

Uncheck these boxes before running it :
Spotlight index, Mail's envelope index, Web Browser caches and history.

I'm assuming this is a 3rd party software?

Yes it is. From the same developer as Onyx.

"Maintenance" is very easy to use (≠Onyx), and can't harm anything.
