The General preference pane allows you to control automatic start for both the application and server, and set the name and icons used for your server's identity.
Most people prefer to leave their iGet Mobile server running all the time; you never know when you might need to access your Mac. To do that, enable both of the first two options.

The General preference pane, in the Preferences window.
- Automatically open iGet Mobile at login - Enable this option to have iGet Mobile launched every time you log into your Mac. Enabling this option has the same effec as as adding iGet Mobile as a "login item" in System Preferences.
- Enable web access to this Mac whenever iGet Mobile is launched - If this feature is enabled, iGet Mobile will start its web server when the application is launched (without having to press the Start Server button). If you use software to launch apps remotely, this makes it easy to start your server remotely if needed. Note that the server always stops when iGet Mobile quits, so with this option enabled, you can achieve a situation where launching iGet Mobile starts web access to your Mac, and quitting iGet Mobile stops it.
- Server Name - You can specify the name of your server. This is displayed in page titles and various parts of the web interface. The default is the name of your Mac as specified in the "Sharing" pane of System Preferences. You can use any name you like, but shorter names work better.
- iPhone icon - This icon will be used as the "web clipping icon" on the iPhone. When you use Safari to add a web page to your home screen, it uses this icon. Drag or paste an image into the image well to change it. iGet Mobile will scale the image to 129x129 pixels automatically.
- Mini icon - Most web browsers these days display a small icon in the address bar, history list, and so on to help you differentiate sites visually. Drag or paste your own image into the image well to modify this icon. The size used varies, but is usually between 16x16 and 32x32 pixels (depending on the browser).
- Help button - The help button launches Help Viewer and takes you to this help topic.
