Activating alarm of my contacts´ birthday on iCal

Hi all,
I am able to see all my contact´s birthday on iCal. They all appear together under the category of subscriptions but I am unable to activate the alarm in none of them. I am only able to activate alarm on events under the category "ON MY MAC"
Does anyone know how to activate the alarm for the Address Book birthdays?
Cheers,
Dave

but my problem is that, for example i add a birthday, mmm lets say 14 of february 1986, and on another contact 13 of february 1986, and one is added and another is not, i've bought 2 iphones and its the same on both, ical displays some of my contacts, if it is that date or the same date with the year 2008, i don't get it, i think it has a limit, because from a day till now it has added no more, its like if it has reached it's limit... has anyone has the same problem?

How do I eliminate duplicate birthdays in ical?

I'm using Snow Leopard, and iCal on my iPhone shows birthdays twice for the same contact.
(One with an icon that looks like a present, and the other a pink dot.)
Things I've tried without success:
* Deleting the birthday, closing iCal, then reopening and reentering the birthday.
* Deleting the contact completely and reentering from scratch.
* Entering the data from my iPhone first then synching with my MacBook. And vice versa.
Thanks,
Paul

Try this..... open Calendars/Preferences/General and uncheck Show Birthdays calendar. Wait a minute then recheck it and see if the dups go away.

Wow, what a silly easy fix! And I was all mentally prepared for a big pain in the you know what. Thanks!

Contact Birthday From Google doesn't show in Ipod Touch

Why the information of a contact birthday of google contacts is not transmitted to my Ipod Touch? Any suggestions?

I started to answer, and then backed away when I saw you were a Windows user. I use Mac and this may be a bit different for you. First, I assume you are syncing using iTunes.
1) I make sure I can see the Google calendars I subscribe to in my iCal program. My understanding is that the iPod touch via iTunes will sync with Outlook's calendar. Maybe with others also. So, first thing to check is if you can see the Google calendar entries in your calendar on your Windows computer. If you cannot, you must fix that first.
If you can, you need to add those to the list of calendars to sync in iTunes. You plug in your iPod touch, select the touch in iTunes, go to the Info tab, and make sure the calendars you want to sync are selected.
That should do it the next time you sync.

All contact birthdays are now listed as the date before

Weird problem that affects my iCal and Address Book. I've recently noticed that every single one of my contacts' birthdays are now listed as the date prior to the actual birthday (the date that was entered in the first place). Not sure when this happened, but it has been since upgrading to Snow Leopard (but I'm not really sure that it occurred because of the upgrade). Has anyone had this problem? I'd love a quick fix, one that doesn't require me manually changing every single contact's birthday. But more than that, I'd like to know why this happened in order to hopefully prevent it in the future. Thanks.

I just discovered the same thing.Had to got through and manually change every birthday. Interestingly, the change was in Addressbook, which is where iCal gets its info.

Birthdays in iCal, Need to get them to Outlook and iPhone

I am using MobileMe to sync calendar and contacts.
Thanks for your help.

Bump.
I have asked this question on a LOTS of forums, and nobody knows how to solve this issue.
Anybody? Bueller?

Contact Birthday Date Sync Problem N9

I have a Nokia N9.
I sync calendar and contacts with my Google Account via the MfE account on my N9.
The Calendar entries work correctly.
However, the Birthday and Anniversary date entries for my contacts mis-sync by one calendar day.
For example, if a contact has a birthday on 10th November in my Google contacts, it displays as 11th November in my N9 Contacts list. Interestingly, if you 'click on' the birthday field from the Contacts entry, it will take you to the 10th November in the Calendar (that is, the correct date!).
The time zone in both Google and the phone are correct and set the same (Syd/Mel, GMT +11). The formats are the same (24hr Clock etc). There are no alarms set as reminders in either Google or the phone.
Anybody know how to make the phone sync the dates correctly? Thanks

I’ve had another look at this.
I was wrong about the birthday in the contact taking you to the most recent one; not sure what I did but it was finger trouble.
Unfortunately, it has just reiterated the original problem.
For example, there is a contact in my list with a birthdate of 3rd December, 1958.
The Birthday field in Google Contacts shows 3rd December 1958.
The Birthday field in N9 Contacts shows 4th December 1958.
When you open the Contact page to edit the individual fields and tap on the Birthday field, it takes you to December 1958 and highlights .... the 3rd!!
I clicked on the 3rd and then saved the changes to the Contact Birthday field in the N9 and it still showed the 4th.
I have had auto time update ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ and I have changed the time zone in my phone from GMT+11 in increments to GMT-4 and nothing changes in the Birthday field.
It looks like the error lies in the birthday coding.

Multiple Birthday in iCal since OSx Lion

I use OS X Lion in German.
Since my upgrade to Lion there are multiple entries of the birthday in iCal.
If I cancel the entry in my adress book there are still multiple birthday entries in iCal for this person.

Go into your iCloud account online and get into your calendar. Open one of the duplicated Birthdays. Close it. Do you get a server error? If not ... go into your second duplicated Birthday and select it. Do you get a server error? I can't remember off hand what the error message read but you've got the same problem I had. The village idiot at Apple had me delete them ... then said that I'd have to speak with an iCloud tecchie as it's their problem. Of course, he had no idea how to get the Birthdays back! Said Apple should have a backup from my initial entry into iCloud. Good luck. I've had three online appointments with the iCloud folks and they've NEVER returned a call!!

Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?

Greetings,
See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.
Cheers.

New contact birthdays are not showing up..

I'm iOS 7.1.1, not sure when this broke, but now when I add a new contact with a birthday that birthday isn't showing up on my calendar. Other previously added contacts birthdays still show up fine, only new ones aren't showing.
I've done all the standard troubleshooting steps (killed all open apps and restarted. Made sure bday alert is set. Made sure bdays is a selected calendar. )
Help this is driving me nuts!

This seems to be occurring in IOS 7.1.2 also. A hard reboot corrects it on the device I edited/added the contact but not on any other devices. I've found that once icloud updates my contacts on my other devices, I can then force the calendar to update on them as well by doing the hard reboot on each of the devices. I hope Apple fixes this soon.

10.9 link a Contact to an iCal appointment?

I want to link the information from Contacts to my Ical appointments, but can't find a way to do this.
Help?

I was looking to have it input the physical address information not the contact name & email address.
This way it would input the physical address in the Location field.
When I use my calendar app on my phone it is done this way, so I thought Thunderbird would be capable of the same function.

You can contact iTunes Support via this page (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then iTunes Cards And Codes (you will probably need to give them images of the front and back of the card, and possibly its receipt)

HT2513 is it possible to import my contacts into my ical?

is it possible to import my contacts into my ical?

This is NOT what we (most of us) want to do ... We want to have the information from our contact(s) automatically be available in the calendar event. If we "invite" the contact, they get to see and are asked to respond (accept / decline / maybe) ... NOT always something we want. For example, I am going to an event and I want to remember their face (what they look like - maybe I've only met them once awhile ago), their spouses name, children or business profile / items and I don't want them to know I have made this one of my agenda items for the event. If I entered all this including their profile picture in contacts, I certainly don't want to enter it all again AND BTW, iCal doesn't really have the proper fields for this information anyway. Sure I can use the notes section but this is double entry. As you can see from just this one example, I would not want to invite them to this calendar entry. I can think of many other instances where that would be problematical (to say the leasat) as well.
It is really incomprehansible that contact, iCal and even mail does not have at least this level of integration.
