  • Mystery Birthday Calendar with OS4 Update

    After I updated to OS4, I found that all my birthday entries appeared twice in my calendar views on the iPhone. Investigating further, I found that when I viewed all my calendars, I had two categories of calendars. First, I had "[email protected]" which correctly showed the three calendars that I sync over Mobile Me (including my birthday calendar, synced from iCal). Second, however, I had a second calendar category/group titled "Other" that showed one calendar "Birthdays."
    I have unchecked this second Birthdays calendar to remove the duplicate entries from my calendar views, but I cannot figure out how to remove this "Other" calendar completely. This "Other" calendar group and the second "Birthdays" calendar appears neither on Mobile Me on the web or in my iCal.
    Suggestions?

    The "Other" Birthdays calendar is a new feature and genertaes the birthdays using the data in your iPhone contacts. It's the same as the Birthdays calendar in iCal and Outlook.

  • Keep an eye on your Birthdays calendar after an update to Mac OS X 10.4.4

    Substantial changes were made to iCal, the Address Book and to Sync Services with the release of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update. Clearly, not all of the results were intended.
    The automatically generated Birthdays calendar has presented at least two issues in my configuration:
    Just before installing the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update, the birthdays appeared in iCal as expected but, immediately afterward, none appeared at all. They were still embedded in my Address Book records, and the action of cutting and pasting just one of them in an Address Book record resulted in the immediate propogation of all of them again in iCal. Great. Obviously, there is now a system-level problem with the data interchange between the Address Book and iCal. This phenomena has only surfaced since the application of the Mac OS X 10.4.4 Update.
    This evening, I noticed that birthdays were no longer displayed in iCal following a synchronization, though the calendar remained intact . Stranger yet, they had all been removed from the matching Address Book records which generate these entries: every one of them! I believe that a Sync Services issue caused their removal, and it is for that reason alone that they no longer appeared in iCal.
    Resetting the contact records alone using .Mac as the source did no good. Not only are they not visible on the .Mac address book pages, birthdays data is also apparently not retrievable. Hmm - passed through, but not stored. Not good.
    I was able to revert to a 3-day old, almost identical record set, and all of the 'restored' records with birthdays instantly had a matching iCal entry in the Birthdays calendar.
    All I can say is: back up. And, back up often. [I had used the Back up Address Book… option under the File menu, so restoring them was a rapid and painless process.]
    I wonder when we will see a maintenance update to Sync Services, the Address Book and iCal?

    Im unable to get a Birthday Calendar to populate with Address Book Birthday Data at all... 10.4.4 here too.

  • Birthday calendar - will not display a particular birthday

    Both the iPhone Calendar and the MacBook's iCal create a "Birthday" calendar, based on entries in Contacts and/or Address Book (In iCal Preferences, "show birthday calendar" must be selected).
    I have an entry in my contact list with a birthdate of September 4, 1932.
    I cannot get that birthday to appear on my iPhone's Birthday Calendar. It does appear on the iCal Birthday calendar and - believe it or not, it even appears on the MobileMe Birthday Calendar. It just will not appear on the iPhone's Birthday Calendar.
    That is the only entry I can't see on my iPhone's Birthday Calendar. I have also tried to create fictitious contacts with that birthdate and they do not appear either.
    I am requesting any other user (or users) to create a Address Book entry with the same birthdate and report whether it will display on the iPhone's Birthday Calendar after a sync.
    I am using the latest Mac, iTunes and iPhone software.
    Thanks in advance to any users who respond.

    Hi Doug,
    I have a calendar labeled "US Holidays Apple." It does accurately show the holidays on my iPhone and iCal. I am not sure about MM, since I have pretty much given up on that for awhile (too frustrating). I am not sure where i obtained the holiday calendar, but it seems more reliable, on the iPhone, than the Google linked holiday calendar I was using.
    The specific birthdate cited is the only one that I can't get to sync. All the other birthdays and anniversaries appear to sync just fine (MM, iCal and iPhone). I suspect that it may be a bug, as suggested by another forum member (dates beyond certain [apple secret] date won't sync.
    As an aside, regarding the thread you gave birth to, "...you are not alone), I have pretty much accepted that the iPhone is a POS phone (but a wonderful device). I suspect that is because they went with the low bidder for the radio component and WE got what they paid for. The only other alternative is that Apple designed or implemented the antennae poorly.
    I live 1.72 miles from a 3G site and my dbm is typically -97 to -113 on 3G (week 41 build).
    I am hoping the next iPhone will have a decent radio. I certainly will await reports from users prior to upgrading to the next version, since that is the only disappointing element of the device.
    Your response was the first hint I had that 2.2 was on the near horizon. Glad to know that, though I do wish Apple would be more open about the changes offered in their updates.
    Great to hear from you.

  • "Happy Birthday" calendar event virus?

    I have an event called "Happy Birthday" on my actual birthday in September on my iPad calendar. Somehow, it's growing. I know have 25 events on my calendar on the same day and a new one appears each time I check.
    It says its from "Contacts" with an email of a bunch of letters and numbers then @virtual.
    I can't delete these events. I also don't want to remove this calendar as it's got too much work-related events.
    I've also just noticed it's done this on 2011 and 2013 but no other year.
    Is this a virus? Can anyone help get this removed?

    Hi guys,
    I think I've found a solution. I went to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect and turned off the contacts birthday calendar from syncing. I then went into settings for my calendars and turned them all off as well as my contacts. I then checked the contacts had been deleted from the device and the calendar was also gone. I then closed both the calendar and contacts apps, and then turned the calendar and contacts back on in the settings app. Duplicates are now gone!
    Hope it works for you as we'll. even if you don't show a birthday calendar go ahead and update the I formation at this link and it may still fix the problem. My friend did have the calendar but repeated birthdays were still gone once she updated at this link.

  • Birthday calendar alerts ?

    I wonder if I'm the only iCal user in this world who tends to forget birthdays. At least I seem to be the only one who keeps asking Apple for adding an alert feature to Birthday Calendars. For what other reason would they not care about this feature request?
    Anyway, without alerts, iCal is the perfect tool for forgetting birthdays - which may have serious consequences, both in your private and in your professional life. You DID note your girlfriend's or your CEO's birthday, so you rely on iCal and on your looking at iCal in time. Then you do so - and there you are, buying apology cards because you've missed that birthday.
    I have already tried a Birthday Widget, but it was just as crappy as it looked: It didn't update its "2 days left until Valentina's birthday" message - and of course, I missed her birthday, too.
    Isn't there a decent little utility, workaround, crack or hack to get me birthday alerts? (...without messing around in Address Book, doing scripts to iport whole new calendars etc.)
    Or can I hack into that birthday calendar to make it read-and-write & assign alerts manually?
    Thanks a lot for a hint!
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    The script checks for the calendar, then checks for the birthdays already entered. New birthdays are added when the script is run. The calendar is not deleted.
    You would need to run the script when you want the birthdays added to iCal.
    I agree that Apple should have added alarms to their birthday calendar - but they haven't. Not a very "Macintosh way" in my opinion, but no-one is perfect

  • Birthday calendar unavailable

    Well, since the last MobileMe update, I have several issues with iCal.
    The most annoying is that my birthday calendar has been removed from iCal.
    My address book still have each contact with its birthday date correctly set.
    I have check in iCal if the settings are correctly set, and the checkbox for the birthday cal is checked but unavailable !!!!! I can't uncheck it or click on it !
    Any idea why ?
    Thanks.

    TobaccoFinger,
    Try turning off the Birthday Calendar sync in iCal, and then reselect the "Show Birthdays calendar."

  • Birthday calendar on iPhone

    Is there a way to synchronize the Birthday Calendar with the iPhone? My other calendars all synchronize, but as that one is part of the contacts it does not. Contacts are synchronized with birthday information, but it does not put it into the calendar on the iPhone.

    If you have a MobileMe account and you have Calendars on for over the air syncing, you can't sync direct with iCal via the iTunes sync process. You can do one or the other only, not both at the same time.
    At the present time, syncing subscribed calendars over the air is not supported, and the iCal Birthdays calendar is a subscriber calendar. Syncing subscribed calendars will be supported beginning with firmware update 3.0 to be released this summer.
    What I have done in the interim - I exported the subscribed Birthdays calendar from iCal followed by importing the exported calendar as a standard calendar. You can't have two iCal calendars with the same name, so I named the new calendar for the import - B-Days. This calendar is synced with the MM cloud which in turn becomes available on my iPhone. This calendar isn't updated when adding a birthday for an existing contact or for a new contact, but this is temporary until subscribed calendars are supported for over the air syncing with firmware update 3.0.

  • Birthday Calendar - how do I move item from Home calendar?

    I have a Birthday calendar set up but can't find a way to add items to it.  Al my birthday reminders are currently in my Home calendar.  I am sure (pre latest update) there was an option to open the item and choose which calendar it was in - not any longer, or I can's find it!

    Forget it!  Just found ref, and now realise that the birthday calendar picks up this information from your contacts list!  Doh!

  • Birthday calendar on iPad  one day early with iOS5

    The birthday calendar shows all birthdays one day early after upgrade to iOS5 on original iPad. I have all the automatic time adjustments and location recognition on. What is wrong?

    I have read that this is a bug, here is a fix which has worked for me at least for the time being:
    Here is a process that worked for me to correct the information in Calendars re birthdays appearing one day out:
    (1) If your iPad/phone is syncing contacts with iCloud, turn it off. In Settings on your iPad/phone, Mail,Contacts,Calendars, Accounts, iCloud, turn off Contacts.
    (2) sync your iPad/phone to iTunes.
    (3) now select the ‘Info’ tab in iTunes for your iPad/iPhone. Ensure that ‘Sync Address Book Contacts’ is ticked. (You can revert to syncing with iCloud later, after this process is complete.)
    (4) scroll to the very bottom section of the Info tab. Where it says ‘Replace information on this iPad/iPhone’, select ‘Contacts’.
    (5) Sync again.
    Now check Calendars on iPad/iPhone, this process ‘fixes’ the information of birth dates and they should now appear correctly.
    Thanks to @fortbailey for this. By the way Steff_BKK, is one of your email accounts an Exchange account? (This has been reported as something to do with this bug.)

  • Calendar app contains multiple entries for birthday calendar and Apple US Holiday's calendar.

    After the most recent update, my calendar app began showing duplicate entries for all of my calendars (google, birthday and US Holidays). I deleted all of the google calendars from my phone and then added each calendar back to the phone one at a time. After doing this, there were no more duplicate entries for the google calendars. However, I have been unable to fix the duplicate entries for the Apple birthday calendar or the Apple US Holidays subscribed calendar. I tried restoring the iPhone, but that didn't work. I then tried to delete the birth date from various phone contacts, but even though I had removed the contact's birthday, the duplicate birthday entries on the calendar remained. I tried changing the contacts' birth date (i.e. altering the month or year), but that didn't update on the calendar either. I'm using an iPhone 5, ios 7.1.1. I do not sync any calendars with iCloud and when I show the birthdays calendar in iCloud, there are not any duplicate entries. Any suggestions?

    Literally, no.  You will not find a single identical application for all.  Apps that are written for the iPhone and iPad have optimizations specific to those platforms, while computer programs will be at least slightly different as they will have optimized features specific to them.
    You could look throught the APp store for something you like for the iOS devices, then check the developer's site to see if they also make something equivalent or near so for desktop and laptop computers.
    The best you can find is separate applications (albeit maybe from one developer and designed to work as companion apps) that share data seemlessly somehow, but none will be without glitches at times - just the nature of anything that tries to syncronize multiple devices frequently over the internet.
    I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad, Calendar in OS X, and Outlook at work.  I do not use iCloud to sync calendars, but use separate Google Calendars for personal, and work calendars, linked through my google accounts to those programs on all my devices.  Its worked pretty well for the past 3 or 4  years for me.  However, I do use google sync for the Outlook calendar, and you cannot get that any longer (google killed it off, but keeps it working for legacy users).
    That's just my setup, but no single app or program exists that I could use for all that (or even just for the Apple machine's alone).

  • Birthday calendar in iCal 1.5.5

    iCal no longer shows my birthdays from Address book. How do I get it to display them again?

    Michael,
    Why are you still using iCal 1.5.5? It may explain why you are having problems.
    You also indicate that you are using 10.4.9, is there any reason that you have not updated to 10.4.11?
    AFAIK iCal 2.0.x is the most current version for Tiger, and I do not know the ramifications of using 1.5.5. Matter of fact, Apple says: iCal 1.5.5 is not compatible with OS X 10.4 or later
    If indeed you have 2.0.x try these steps.
    First of all, make sure that you use the iCal>File>Back up Database menu command.
    Next, Try refreshing the iCal plist file. Quit iCal and find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag the file to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.
    If that is unsuccessful, then select iCal>Preferences...>General> and then de-select/re-select "Show Birthdays Calendar."

  • Sync problem caused by birthday calendar

    I can't sync between my iPhone 3G and my Powerbook anymore.
    Looking into the log, the problem seems to be coming from a problem with a birthday calendar (please see log at the bottom of this post).
    I have a clue, how the problem might have been created:
    I installed the "2do" app on the iPhone and synced it successfully many times (vie WLAN). Also, syncing my address book and calendar was no problem. Then suddenly in my iCal a second "Birthday" category popped up. The first one was the subscription from the birthdays in my address book. The (new) second birthday category was identical and duplicated my birthdays in iCal, so I erased one of the two (I don't remember which one).
    Since about this time, no syncing is possible. I tried to erase the sync-history in iSync, but it didn't help.
    Does anyone know how to resolve this problem/conflict?
    I would be happy if someone told me how to erase all calendar, address book and syncing data from my mac and to recall all data from my iPhone if that's a promising strategy...
    Thanks in advance!

    The possibility to restore the ical-calender into ical fails due the same message as sputnik6 posted above.

  • Mountain Lion Birthday Calendar Duplicates - no icloud

    Like a few other Mountain Lion Calendar users, I also have duplicate birthdays.
    I see the actual birthday, normally, and in addition to that a "birthday" the previous day shown as "year - 1" (37th instead of 38th, for example).
    I am not using icloud.
    I have tried check-uncheck. I comes back within seconds.
    I have no duplicate cards in my address book and in my address book the birthdays are correct and not duplicated.
    It happened last week, but now I cannot see last week's duplicates anymore, and future birthdays are also correct and not duplicated. It seems that this occurs only for the birthday occurring the next day. I then get a notification for "X's 27th birthday" the day before that person's 28th birthday, and on the birthday I do get the normal notification for "X's 28th birthday".
    Has anyone seen this? Should I submit it as a bug report to apple?

    Hello Randy, ... hmmm... did not work for me, not the same way anyway. I could not find any duplicates using the demo version of Bento.
    NB: I have recently changed my hard disk and moved everything using Time Machine. This first did not change anything (I didn't expect it would).
    I waited for the next birthday to come and was again reminded yesterday of a 57th birthday which is actually a 58th birthday today. So basically I was reminded 364 days late ;-) ... as described above, nothing changed.
    So I tried again and turned off the birthday calendar in the Calendar preferences, then back on.
    (What happened before:
    - first the correct birthdays appeared
    - then the "364-day-late" birthday appeared after a few seconds... (as if there was a second process going on, adding the wrong data to ical).)
    This time, so far, only the correct birthdays have been added as "birthdays".
    But: now, after having used Bento to visualise the ical data and after having clicked birthday calendars off an on: on many of the birthdays (but not all), appeared a new "all day event", e.g. "1974 John Smith", in my default calendar category... I am erasing all these now.
    Let's see what happens. There are a few more birthdays coming up this month, so I can keep you posted.
    Thanks again...
