Address book birthdays no longer in ical

Dear all,
I don't know how long I have this issue, but recently I discovered that adding the birthday of a contact in AB no longer automatically adds it to iCal's birthday subscriptions. I have selected "show birthdays calendar" in iCal but to no avail. Anyone an idea what might be causing this?

I have the same issue... anyone knows what's going on with this?

  • One of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it?

    ''locking this thread as duplicate, please continue at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1051908 /questions/1051908]''
    one of my 2 address books can no longer be viewed, how do I access it? It disappeared within the last few days. I can still find addresses that are in the 2nd address book, but I cannot view it, so only 1/8 of my addresses are now viewable. How do I access the 2nd address book?

    Hi ronc2, there isn't a specific setting for this. Firefox's built-in JavaScript settings allow you to control several aspects of scripts*, but unfortunately not this one.
    I previously tried to find some other options for individually turning off this event, but I couldn't find a way. Someone might be able to create an add-on to solve this problem, but it will take someone cleverer than I.
    Extensions that disable scripts on a site-specific basis:
    * If you regularly visit some sites which do this, you can block JavaScript on that specific site using the YesScript extension. Unfortunately, other script-based functionality will be blocked as well.
    * YesScript does not preemptively block scripts on every site. If you have to visit a lot of random sites and want to take a paranoid approach of having scripting blocked until you see as much of the site as you can see without running scripts, then the NoScript extension would be for you. But even then it's "all or nothing".
    ''* These include: JavaScript enabled yes/no, override right-click menu yes/no, change order of windows yes/no, move and resize windows yes/no, close windows yes/no, specific features of pop-up windows, change images yes/no, detect copy/cut/paste and modify selection yes/no.''

  • HT2486 Address book will no longer sort when typing name

    Address book will no longer sort names when you begin to type

    Have you tried resetting your sort option in Address Book / Preferences? Change it from whatever you have it (e.g. First Name) to the other choice. Then try to Search a contact. If it works, then go back in and reset it to what you had it before.

  • Can MULTIPLE birthdays on Address Book card show up in iCal?

    iCal 2.0.3 - I have a number of cards in my Address Book that list primary party, spouse and several children. I have created in Address Book on a single card a birthday field for EACH of the parties on an Address Book card. However, only the primary party's birthday automatically is transferred to the Birthday calendar in iCal.
    The only way I have been able to have all the birthdays shown in iCal is to have a separate Address Book card for each member of the family. Obviously, this bloats the Address Book.
    Is there any way that I can accomplish this with one Address Book card with multiple birthday fields?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    While you can't list multiple birthdays for multiple members of a family on a single card in Address Book and have them automatically added to the Birthday calendar in iCal, you can by using Dates to iCal donationware manually insert birthdays into the iCal Birthday calendar (http://www.nhoj.co.uk/)
    This is great in that it keeps you from having to bloat your Address Book by unnecessarily creating a separate card for each additional member of a family, e.g.

  • One of my address book birthdays wont show up in iCal

    Every birthday I've inputed into my address book appears on my birthdays calendar in iCal, except my father's. A few days ago, I noticed that my father's birthday was listed on the wrong day in iCal, so I opened my address book to check it out, but it was correct in the address book. I tried changing the birth year, and that caused my father's birthday entry to disappear entirely from iCal.
    Does anybody have any advice on getting it to work properly?
    Edit: I've just tried playing around with the date in the address book, When I change the year to 0001, his birthday shows up in iCal on 8/22, though it's inputed in address book on 8/24. This two-day discrepancy is the same no matter what day of the month I input (ex. 8/26/0001 in address book shows up as 8/24 in iCal)
    Message was edited by: Bill Buchanan

    I'm having this exact same problem, but it's doing it with a bunch of birthdays. I also did 0001 when I didn't know the birth year, so I went back and did a more current year, but they still aren't showing up where they should be...or at all. It's completely bizarre.

  • Display server based address-book birthday entries in iCal

    Hello
    Does anybody has a solution for the following situation to solve:
    iCal on the user machine is only able to display birthday entries out of the local address-book not out of a address-book stored on a server (Mac OS-X).
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks for attention and respond
    Thomas

    Hi, I would need that, too.
    It's working on the iPhone, but not on MacOS with iCal... anyone from apple could help, please?
    Thanks!

  • Display age in iCal using Address Book birthday

    Is there a hidden feature in iCal (or Address Book), or a plug-in available, that will let me display a person's age in iCal alongside their birthday using the date from Address Book?

    Hi Jenny,
    Dates To iCal 2 does this. It works under Leopard, but not Tiger.
    Dates to iCal 2 - A replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal in Leopard.
    http://www.nhoj.co.uk/datestoical/
    As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
    Dates to iCal is shareware.
    Best wishes

  • Address Book - Birthday Field question

    I was trying to make an entry on the birthday field in one of my contacts. The field does not give me an option to change the year of birth. It defaults to 2000.
    The other question is how can we set up alerts, so that we can maybe send out a card in advance? Thanks!
    Is there a way to fix this?
    imac user

    With the Address card in Edit mode you should be able to click the year field and after it highlights blue, change it to the year you need.
    According to Address book Help, in the Address Book Help Menu;
    You can keep track of contacts’ birthdays by creating a birthday calendar that automatically includes all the birthdays in your address book.
    1. In Address Book, make sure you’ve entered the birthdate for each contact whose birthday you want to track.
    2. In iCal, choose iCal > Preferences.
    3. In the General pane, select the “Show Birthdays calendar” checkbox.
    Birthdays in your address book are automatically added to the Birthdays calendar in iCal. When you add or remove birthday information in Address Book, the Birthdays calendar is also updated. You can’t make changes to the Birthdays calendar in iCal; to change it, you must edit the information in Address Book.

  • Address Book: Birthday field prob

    When I was trying to add birthday date in the address book, it picks up January as default, I can't edit the month. I can change only the date and year, but no option to change the month (previously it was fine, I have more than 100 birthday dates in calendar). Even it's the same after I restart my macbook.
    It's also observed by imac user http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1734178&tstart=0

  • Address Book 'Birthday' field not sync onto Palm e2 'Birthday' custom field

    Hi,
    In my OSX Address Book, I have a 'Birthday' field in which I want to isync to my Palm e2 contact.
    To date, I have not been able to transfer this information even though I have created a 'birthday' custom field in the palm device. This information does not get isync between Address Book and e2 Contact.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    If you have solved it, I hope you can share this with me please.
    Thanks.

  • Snow Leopard Mail Address Book does no longer sort names

    Hi,
    I noticed that, after I installed Snow Leopard, the address book I access in Mail does no longer show entries sorted by last names although I set the the address book I access from the dock to do so and it works fine. I thought they're one and the same. How come there is this discrepancy and is there a way to resolve the issue?
    Best
    Frank

    Frank,
    The Address Book application opened from the Dock responds to its preference setting for this sort. Quit Mail, and then confirm the sort you want to see in the AB application -- you can choose not only Last Name sort, but whether Last Name appears before First Name, as I am sure you know.
    Now relaunch Mail, and when you access from Mail it should now have the same sort you selected in the AB app. Mail is apparently picking up the preference setting in the AB app at the time it launches, and does not change that until you have quit Mail, and then next relaunch it.

  • Address book "List" no longer sends .. have screenshot to show error

    I have been using "Lists" in my address book to send multiple emails. There must have been an update recently since I can no longer get the lists to work (any of them) and I get an error I have never seen before, nor understand what I can change to use my lists.
    PS I don't see a place to attach the screenshot of the error, but it says Invalid Recipient Address. I am using version 31.1.0

    The quick fix is to go back to v24.6. Otherwise browse through the other threads and see what has been posted. One that I remember is to remove any spaces in the name of your lists.
    I have not upgraded to v31 yet. I never upgrade to new major versions until the bugs are worked out.

  • Address Book Birthday Dates

    In Address Book I find it hard to maintain accurate Birthday Dates. They are either out by one day (I live in NZ and am ahead of most of the world by a day) or the days are widly off. Any thoughts as to why it seems to have a mind of it's own? Mark.Adrr

    I have the same issue on my iPhone 4S ( iOS 5.0.1 ). I live in Germany.
    My Mac runs Snow Leopard, no iCloud involved.
    Some birthdays are off by one day prior to the real birthday-date !?
    This applies to dates in the past and future.
    On my Mac the birthdays are displayed correct in calendar !?

  • When I click on address book I no longer get the slot for inserting a name, instead a long list of names/addresses

    I've been sending new emails (not replies) this way: Click on address book. Up comes space to insert a name. I do so, find the name (among a few close to it), highlight it and then click "write." This produces an addressed email, which I proceed to write and send. But as of a day ago, when I click on the address book, what appears is a long list of names and email addresses. It fills most of the iMac screen. And there's no space to insert a name.
    Presumably I did something stupid to make that happen. What have I done? And how do I reverse it?
    Thank you.
    Arthur

    This doesn't answer your question about what's gone wrong.
    I think the Address Book is a rather lame place to start from.
    Click on Write, or Reply or Forward and the messages writing window appears. prefilled with the previous message text if it's a reply or forward.
    If you select the To: box and start typing, it will suggest names from the address book matching what you typed.
    If you really prefer to pick from a list, you can open a Contacts Sidebar which lists one of your address books. There are buttons to add selected Contacts to your message. You can drag and drop and use right click too. On a PC, F9 opens this sidebar, or you can use alt+v to get the View menu and then choose the Contacts Sidebar from the sub-menu. I'm not sure how much of this works on the Mac.
    So it's easy to add multiple addresses. You can set them as Cc or Bcc.
    Your method lets you address a new message, but doesn't support reply or forwarding. It enters all addressees as To: and you have to change them one by one if that's not appropriate.
    You see why I think the Address Book is bad place to start from?
    If this other approach doesn't work then I'd suggest you have a corrupted Address Book. Do you have a recent backup to restore from?

  • Address Book application no longer launches

    I broke my laptop a few weeks ago and had the data manually retrieved and put on a hard drive. I bought a new macbook pro earlier and I was manually transferring the application files when i think i accidentally overwrote the address book application. Note my old computer was using tiger - so every time I try to launch address book it says something like this address book doesnt work with this version of Mac OS X. So I deleted Address Book from application and ran the 10.5.3 update. Address Book is back, but now has no logo (it looks like the application logo) and doesn't do anything when I click on it.
    How do I get my address book back!?

    An update won't replace the whole program. You either need to get it from the instal DVD or copy from a Leopard version, then run update, again.
    Pacivist will allow you to pull individual programs off the install DVD.
