On a Mac, it’s simple to do. Select System Preferences from the Apple menu, then:

  1. Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window).
  2. Click the Login Items tab.
  3. Click the Add (+) button.
  4. Scroll down and click Applications
  5. Select the app you want to start up and click the Add button.

The next time you start up your Mac, iTunes will start up, too. In addition to opening applications at Start Up, you can have Mac OS X open documents and Network drives.
