I am still running 10.7 and all of it's standard apps. At this point, I manually launch FaceTime after startup. I have to log in with my Apple ID each time I start FT.

Is it possible, and how would I, have FT automatically log in after assigning it as a startup item?

Has anyone done this?

If so, how.

I use Startupizer which is a great startup item manager. The apps are launched no differently than if I assigned them via the User Account prefpane.

TIA

I read this discussion and it reminded me that I should check on the condition of my wife's MBP's battery.
I went looking for a battery utility on her machine & I searched for "battery" and found nothing on the machine. So then I googled and came up with this fellow's instructional video for maintaining MBP batteries.
http://youtu.be/uR36lzNfr7k

The fellow in the video seems to favor an app called Watts which seems to have a lot of functions, determination of the battery's life expectancy, as well as including a function of discharging of the battery. Up till now, we've only charged our battery and then used the MBP till it needed a charge OR if working for a long time, leaving it on the charger. This, we've assumed, has given us the needed discharge cycle.

Would the app Watts help the OP and would it be a good method of maintaining anyone's battery?

Re:Grounding. I have no idea if any of our outlets here are grounded. We have 3 prong outlets, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are grounded as electrical stuff here in Thailand is notorious for being poorly done or done incorrectly. So even though the system pref. battery indicator in the tool bar is showing 100% after charging, the OP's situation made me want to check and confirm on our battery's condition.

SSD doesn't necessarily outperform spinning HDDs!

I think this topic was addressed with respect to Mac Mail recently, but I've discovered in the past few days that Mail displays "Sent" messages on my iPad listed by the "From" field (in other words, me). I cannot find a way to change this in iOS. Am I missing something (obviously, I'd prefer they be sorted based on the "To" field and listed by date sent.

Thanks so much,

In my iPad2 mail program, the Sent messages are ordered by date with the most recent on top. I don't know why it's set this way, I don't see it in Settings.
