Birthdays a day early in Calendar on Mountain Lion

On my Macbook Pro running Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion) all the birthdays from the "Birthdays" calendar are showing a day early in Calendar. E.g. When I browse to contact Joe Bloggs in Contacts it shows his birthday as 12/03/1987. When I go into Calendar, there is a full day event for Joe Bloggs' birthday on 11/03/1987.
In Calendar I have selected the correct timezone (New Zealand Time) and have also enabled "Turn on time zone support" in the preferences. On my iPhone, I have the same settings and the birthdays display on the correct date.
Is there anything I can do to get the birthdays to display on the correct date in Calendar on my Macbook Pro?
Just clarifying, the date format used here is dd/mm/yyyy.

I tried the "year" view, but it makes not difference. A Spotlight search does not present the info in a calendar format, only in an events and reminders format. It also only seems to be finding the "today" view, but it is impossible to be sure since it only shows a time for the event but no date. There has to be a way to find the last time or all the times I made a Dr.'s appointment without going through an entire year or more day by day.

How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion

How do I find a past event(s) in calendar on mountain lion without manually going back day by day? I would ike to be able to use Calendar as a searchable log. I do not care about syncing with iOS, just finding an event or notes in an event, such as "oil change", "research paper turned in", "dr. appt." The find function only works on future evernts.

Trying to add a new calendar to Mountain Lion iCal

I have two Macs using 10.6.8 and if I add a calendar to iCal on either Mac I have the choice of adding a calendar (or Calendar Group) "On My Mac" or in my "CalDev Calendars". I do have most of my calendars syncing via CalDev to my server. When I go to my 10.8.2 server to add a calendar, I only have an option to add a calendar to "CalDev Calendars" with no option of adding a Calendar Group.
How do I add a calendar (or Calendar Group) "On My Mac" and not in "CalDev Calendars" in Mountain Lion iCal?

Ok I solved my own problem.
I only had "CalDev Calendars" on my server iCal, so I un-enabled the calendar account in iCal preferences, then added a calendar and an "On My Mac" calendar appeared. I re-enabled my "CalDev Calendars" in preferences and now I have both "CalDev Calendars" and "On My Mac" calendars on my server iCal. This also returned the menu items missing under "file" menu.

Facebook Events showing one day early in calendar iOS6

I recently updated to iOS6 and synced my facebook account with my calendar and contacts.
My problem is that all the facebook events I have joined are showing up as being 1 day earlier than they are on facebook.
Facebook Birthdays are displaying fine, it's just facebook events that are wrong.
Have tried deleting my fb account, turning facebook calendar sync off and on, re-starting my phone, and checked location settings

Since the iPhone is updated and disabling Time Zone Support does not affect the calendar events it, the issue is most likely related to Outlook/Exchange.
That logic seems somewhat flawed. Outlook displays it fine. Exchange displays it fine. Other phones display it fine. iPhone displays it wrong.
To me, issue is most likely related to iPhone?
Jason L wrote:
Did you run into any errors or problems when trying the tips in the Resolution or Additional Information sections of the article you linked above?
No errors, Outlook was already set to my timezone, so I forced it to re-change it to my timezone again. It scanned through my appointments and then gave the message "No appointments, meetings or reminders were found that needed to be moved to the new time zone."

Birthdays 1 day early

My birthday's, as loaded in the contacts, are showing up in my calendar 1 day early. This is only happening on my iphone 4s. My Mac is fine. I synced the contacts from the Mac via iTunes (not iCloud). I'm using the "native" birthday's calendar on the iPhone. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi David
Finally I got it working, but I can't say exactly what solved it for me. Here is what I changed as far I can remember:
Disabled time zone support in iCal on my Mac (iCal -> Preferences -> Advanced -> uncheck 'Turn on time zone support')
Disabled time zone support in the calendar on my iPhone (Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendar -> Time Zone Support -> Off)
Disabled automatic time zone setting on my iPhone (Settings -> Date & Time -> uncheck 'Set Automatically' and manually set your time zone in 'Time Zone')
Only do this next step if all your events are on your Mac!: Synched calendars by replacing all events on my iPhone with the data from my Mac (iTunes -> select your iPhone from Devices on the left -> go to 'Info' tab -> check 'Calendars' under 'Replace information on this iPhone')
Good luck to you! ;-)
Regards, Michael

How can I synchronize my blackberry 9810 with Calendar Mac Mountain Lion

hello, i've a big problem because i can't transfer my date from my blackberry 9810 to my calendar apple mac mountain lion and not the inverse. I utilise the blackberry desktop but it's only bi-directionnel and i would like to do it just in this sens because all my dates are in my phone. I can't understand why it's not working. Before i utilise icalc and it was working.There now it's calendar for mac and it's not working. It's says that it where 96 date but they are not transferred or i don't find them. Thank you for your help and if it's a french who response me it will be better but all are good of course.

You can't install a previous version on your Mac since it came with Mavericks pre installed.
Read here > Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac
Some Macs are still shipping with Mountain Lion. I should have asked you.
I'm glad macjack caught that

"Merging data" error when syncing iPhone 5s Calendar to MacBook Pro Calendar, using Mountain Lion

Since a failed attempt to sync data via iCloud (resulting in duplicate entries in Calendar and Contacts, missing data, and other oddities), whenever I try to sync the Calendars via iTunes, I repeatedly get the error message, "iTunes could not sync calendars to the iPhone <name> because an error occurred while merging data." The Contacts sync fine, and the backup runs smoothly. The only discussions I can find in Apple Support are dated 2009 with older systems (I'm using Mountain Lion 10.8.5, iTunes 11.1.5, iOS 7.1.1, but the problem occurred with iOS 7.0 and possibly 6.0 as well). Repairing permissions had no effect. I can't use the option to copy the Mac Calendar to the iPhone because new data are entered into the iPhone. Would appreciate guidance. I'm trying to avoid iCloud but if I have to go there to fix this, guidance for that would also be welcome.

I have iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.4 and iMac with Mavericks 10.9.3 and iTunes 11.2.1.
I also got this error when I tried to sync iPhone with iMac (after a year when Apple disabled local USB cabel sync in Mavericks - thanks Apple for re-enabling it!).
I tried a number of things to no avail. Finally I tried three things - and hurraaa, can sync now! Unfortunatelly I didn't test sync among these three steps - so don't know which one fixed it - up to you to try. My guess is that it was the 3rd step, actually
Step 1: On my iPhone I opened Calendar and tap "Calendars" (top left). I have 7 items on the list (2 email accounts, Calendar, Home, Work, Reminders, Birthdays). Most of the calendar entries were in my Home calendar, only a few were in Work or Birthdays. I moved all of them to Home. I also checked whether there aren't any items without content.
Step 2: On the list of Calendars I had one custom item (Birthday in my local language). This item had only one entry in it. I deleted both the single entry and the custom item as a whole - so I left the default categories only.
Step 3: At the top of the list of Calendars there is an item "All from My Mac". I tapped this and thus enabled all of my calendar categories. Now the sync worked like a charm!
I actually noticed that when I synced, iTunes automatically checked all items under "Sync Calendars - Selected Calendars". Even if I manually deselected all except the "Home" calendar, as soon as I started to sync, iTunes checked all items automatically. This led me to thinking that if I check "All from My Mac" item in my iPhone it might work.
Good luck with your sync issue, hope you'll solve it.

Transferring iCal data from SL to Calendar on Mountain Lion

Hi,
I'm having issues transferring my iCal data from my Snow Leopard account to my Calendar (Mountain Lion) on my laptop. Seems you can't just save it out as an archive and import it into Calendar any more. Same issue goes with the Address Book -> Contacts.
Can someone help? I looked at another thread but it seems no one has figured this out yet.

I am having the same problem. I was able to have my google calendars that were easily set up through the delegation option. Now, all the events have disappeared. When I go through the steps and add the other google calendars through delegation, they show up grey on the calendar side bar. Nothing happens when I refresh. The calendars were here one day and gone the next. Very strange.
I would very much like the delegation option to work. I see that there are work arounds involving adding each calendar, but that seems like a lot of work.

Searching in calendar after mountain lion upgrade

Since upgrading to mountain lion, when I enter some text in the search box to find an event that contains that text, the search finds nothing at all. I'm unclear that it is actually loooing in the different calendars that I have and only looking in one of them. Or it is only seeing events that have been entered since the upgrade and not any that were in existence in the early ical app. Please advise. Thanks for all of your help.

I didn't clean install Mountain Lion yet (I am still on Lion), and the "problem" is that I have been using a HDD with a Master Boot Record partition scheme and Mac OS Extended (journaled) format for doing my Time Machine backups : it's working without any problem for a year now, but I'm afraid of doing the update to Mountain Lion because apparently Time Machine doesn't support Master Boot Record Drives very well (it prefers GUID partition tables), so I think that I'll have to reformat the my external HDD.
I don't know if it's the Master Boot Record partition scheme which causes these Time Machine problems or not....
I'm just curious to know what partition scheme antonio from belo horizonte is using...

Calendar in Mountain Lion

My app shows as Calendar, not iCal but I don't see any listing for it.
Before Mountain Lion, when an alert showed, I was able to snooze if for 1 minute, 5 minutes...1 day, etc. with a wide choice of times. Since I installed Mountain Lion, I get a notification, which lets me snooze or close the notification. If I choose snooze, it comes back in about five minutes. Is there any way to vary the "snooze" time?

It seems that the new improved Calendar and Reminders applications in Mountain Lion can only snooze for 15 minutes, no more, no less. What were they thinking!

Create a new calendar in mountain lion

How do I create a brand new calendar for someone else using mountain lion?

I mean the calendar app that comes with Mountain Lion. I have my own calendar with many entries.
Another family member would like their own calendar. I have tried to create new and all of my entries come up on the new one. I want a fresh blank calendar.

Problem with different calendars under Mountain Lion

I upgraded recently from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and experiencing an annoying problem with the calendars "On My Mac" (I am using a MacBook Pro from mid 2009). With iCal under Snow Leopard I had seven calendars - Meetings, Performances, Family, etc. with different colors. After the switch to Mountain Lion these categories aren't maintained properly. Four of them have been seemingly merged into two, so that for example an event can't be categorized as "Family" but gets shifted automatically to "Meetings" (both calendars stay checked in the editing panel, but only one "sticks"). So I have three calendars I can use and a four I can't.
If I try to add a new calendar it appears in the list, but no event can be assigned to it.
Is there a limit to the number of calendars one can have?
I don't use iCloud, so there is no issue there.
I have one Google calendar (a work schedule I have subscribed to ) which also works with no problems.
Any ideas?

Same problem when reseted the PRAM.
I read some Chinese Web , Many people got the same problem after upgrade to mountain lion

Can't add Delegates to Calendar in Mountain Lion

Hi
Since updating to Mountain Lion i have been unable to add delegates into Calendar. Previously this was easy preferences- delegates- type in the first part of the name and it found the delegates.
Now i type in the name and nothing happens - there is no automatic name matching and no button to press to search - it just does nothing.
Any ideas??
thanks

Ok but you can get the Option key to work.
There is a utility to Rebuild the recovery HD partition.
Look here first.
Removing and rebuilding a malfunctioning Recovery HD partition « Der Flounder
Then in that article a link to download or find the Recovery HD utility on the Apple website.
But that was originally for Lion. So you may have to rebuild the Lion R-HD then Reinstall Mt Lion over the top of your current install of Mt Lion for it to make the Mt Lion R-HD.
Depending on the age of your Mac's you may also be able to use the Online (Internet) Recovery HD system. To get to that with a R-HD partition on the system, even if that R-HD partition sin't working, you hold down Command+Option+r keys when starting the system (And yes with the USB keyboard attached).
