Birthdays calendar showing SPECIFIC birthday

In the iCal calendar, I'm now seeing that it is "John Doe's 6th birthday," even when John Doe is a work colleague of mine who is probably in his mid-30s. This shows up only in the birthdays calendar, not in the Exchange calendar where the Birthdays were first entered.
I know I can turn the birthdays calendar off and just have the Exchange calendar show, but I kind of like the birthdays calendar, especially because I can focus on it for the weeks ahead and know specifically who has birthdays coming up among all my other calendar entries.
Of course this is happening because I entered John Doe's birthday when I first found out what day it was, and that was about 6 years ago.
But he is NOT 6.
On the other hand, I do know some people's birthday's exactly (like my 12-year-old goddaughter or my 82-year-old mother).
Is there a way to tell iCal which people's birth years are correct and which are unknown?
This is on an Intel Mac running Lion and iCal with all the latest updates.
Thanks in advance for any solutions.

Just remove the "year" in your Address Book entries for them.  As of OS X Lion, the year value for the "Birthday" date - which has previously always been required - is now optional.  See:

  • How do I stop the calendar showing past birthdays?

    I want the Birthday Calendar on my iPhone but it's very annoying that it shows past birthdays going back a year or more, Does anyone know how do I stop the calendar showing past birthdays?

    You said it is showing past birthdays, which means past.
    The Birthdays calendar shows birthdays for contacts with a birthdays entry in the Contacts app. It shows the birthday for such a contact this year, the following year, and for the previous or past year.

  • Calendar Shows Appointment for Every Day please help

    First off, I'm a Microsoft .NET programmer and I LOVE my IPhone, my IPod and my Shuffle!
    My IPhone Calendar shows the little "dot" for every day, even when I don't have appointments.
    Can someone please help me get the dots off so I can look at my calendar and tell when I have events scheduled?
    Here is my setup:
    Outlook 2003 - Not connected to Exchange
    Windows XP Pro
    Thank you!
    IBM Compatible   Windows XP Pro   I love my IPhone and IPod and Shuffle!

    When I click on the day it says "No Events".
    I have people's birthday's that occur every year if that's what you mean by reoccurring, but who doesn't have that in their calendar?
    I can take the date back to 1997 to way before I started entering appointments and it still shows the "dots".
    The things I've read explain the "dots" mean I have an appointment on that day.
    I appreciate the help so far. Solving this would be a great improvement for my calendar!
    Thank you for your time.

  • Calendar shows dot for event, but no event scheduled

    For the month of Nov 07, my calendar shows a dot every day, indicating that an event is scheduled, even on the days when no events are scheduled. I've made sure outlook calendar is correct and synced repeatedly, yet the dots are still there. I've tried clicking on the days that erroneously show a dot, hoping I could delete an event, but no event displays. This happened before and after the latest update. Any help is appreciated.

    When I click on the day it says "No Events".

  • Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?

    Hi there,
    Can SharePoint calendar show more than 3 items on a Day's schedule in Month view? How?
    Thank you so much.

    Hi,
    From your description, my understanding is that you want to expand all items if a Day’s schedule has more than 3 items.
    You could accomplish your requirement with jQuery to auto expand all items when you load month view, please refer to this article:
    Auto Expand Month View on SharePoint 2013 Calendar
    http://blog.eastridge.net/auto-expand-month-view-on-sharepoint-2013-calendar
    If I misunderstand your requirement, please provide more detailed information.

  • Contacts and calendar showing double - because of MobileMe?

    I got mobile me and the contacts and calendar updated wirelessly as expected, however the last time I plugged in my iPhone to my computer, the iPhone synced with all information (contacts, calendar, itunes, photos, etc.) and now both my contacts and calendars are showing double on my iPhone. Is there a way to fix this?
    the calendars show two boxes on my iPhone: "From my Mac" and another "(email)(Mobile Me)". I assume this is why there are duplicates, however I do not know how to delete or get rid of it. I thought Mobile Me would simply update information from the Mac, not add to it.
    The contacts have the same two boxes and show all my groups of contacts twice.
    Am I not supposed to sync with my mac now that I have mobile me? How do I get rid of these duplicates now?
    Thank you,
    Kim

    Cycle Count Entries Form not showing specific employee name in "Counted By" LOV List.But the Employee is active . Is there any setup for this activity?

    Hi,
    This is because the query is excluding the current site you are trying to modify since it is actually in the report.
    You can include in your query:
    or site_id = :Pxx_SITE_ID
    Where Pxx_SITE_ID is the item holding the site_id value and xx is your page number.

  • Calendar shows task always in user-timezone

    Hi,
    First a short introduction in my problem:
    I've implemented a calendar which should view these 3 Tasks:
    - 6.5.2008   00:00 -  6.5.2008 23:59   Task 1 (1 day duration)  in UTC
    - 7.5.2008   00:00 -  8.5.2008 23:59   Task 2 (2 day duration)  in UTC
    - 5.5.2008   00:00 -  9.5.2008 23:59   Task 3 (5 day duration)  in UTC
    The Demo User which logs in has TimeZone "Europe/Berlin". The Calendar has a dropdownbox where the user can select either "Facility" or "My TimeZone":
    In "Facility" the User should see these 3 Tasks in UTC an not in his own timezone (all tasks from 00:00 to 23:59).
    In "my timezone", he should see the 3 Tasks in his TimeZone (Europe/Berlin is UTC+2h at the moment) --> so the tasks are always from 02:00 - 01:59 for him.
    The Problem:
    When the sap.authentification is enabled and a user logs in, the "Facility" never shows me this Tasks in UTC. The Task is always shown in his timezone (02:00 - 01:59). But I have set UTC anywhere.
    In "my timezone", where i load the current user-timezone its shown from 00:00 - 23:59.
    I have absolutely no idea why the context element shows this always in user timezone
    (_context element "timezone" of the Calendar view is bound to my attribute "zeitzone"_)
    Here is the code part - I've debugged already. Everywhere is set UTC, but the Calendar always shows in userTime.
    private void fillCalendar(String zeitstring) //
           deleteEntries();
            // check which mode is selected
            if (zeitstring == "Facility")
                // default should be UTC
                zeitzone = TimeZone.getDefault();
                zeitzone.setID("UTC");
                zeitzone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(zeitzone.getID());
                TimeZone.setDefault(zeitzone);
                // calenderinstanz in UTC
                Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance().getInstance(zeitzone);

                Time myTime = Time.valueOf("00:00:00");
                CctTime firstVisibleTime = new CctTime(myTime);
                // determine the startdate and starttime for the calendar

    Update:
    I've tried to fix the problem nearly the whole day.
    I've debugged the fillCalendar()-Method while inserting the first Task:
    - Default Timezone is "UTC"!
    - zeitzone.ID and tz.ID are always set on "UTC"
    - timeZoneCode is "Koordinierte Universalzeit null null null null null" (koordinierte Universalzeit is German for UTC )
    - startDate : "06.05.2008 00:00:00 Koordinierte Universalzeit false"
    - endDate: "06.05.2008 23:59:00 Koordinierte Universalzeit false"
    - calendar.zone.ID is set to "UTC"
    ---> The Calendar shows the task from 06.05.2008  02:00 to 07.05.2008  01.59
    Somewhere must stand my timezone and the calendar refuses to display the view in UTC!!! But where?

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for your reply.
    You can now look only at the code in the first IF-Condition: (Facility)
    I've just tried to replace "UTC" with "CST"... in debugger he calculates me the new times:
    startDate: 13.05.2008 05:00:00 Zentrale Normalzeit false
    endDate: 14.05.2008 04:59:00 Zentrale Normalzeit false  It works...
    The problem is only that the calendar contextelement doesn't set this new time now. It creates the task from 7:00 to 6:59 .... 2 hours later.
    These 2 hours are the difference from myTimeZone (the user i logged in: Europe/Berlin = UTC+2h) to UTC.
    So I want that the default timezone of the calender is UTC and not the timezone from the logged in user.
    But I can't logon without user (then it works!) because I need the User for another functionality (myTimeZone)

  • Subscribed Calendar shows only "New Event"s

    Hi there:
    I've searched and seen a few similar issues, but no resolution.
    I have published a Calendar, and sent an email invitation for subscription to it. The URL is similar to:
    webcal://ical.me.com/XXXXX/myCalendar.ics
    Subscribing to the Calendar isn't an issue, from other user's computer. The Calendar shows up fine, but all of its events have no content other than "New Event".
    Ideas?
    Thanks in advance for any insight,
    Patrick
    ps: all events in question are "All Day" events, FWIW.

  • Date Picker - show specific month of perticaular year

    Hi Experts,
    I am using sam.m.DatePicker control. By default date picker show current month-year when user open date picker. I want to show specific month of specific year when date picker is open.
    for eg: In my app, if student appearing for next year exam(say 2016) then when he click on date picker it should show April of 2016 instead of april of 2015. I don't want to set date by default. Student should select that date manually.
    Is it possible to show specific month and year for date picker when it open.
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi,
    you can also give a default date of the first date of that month.
    Why you are not using that?
    var datePicker = new sap.m.DatePicker({
                                            valueFormat: "yyyy-MM-dd",
                                            displayFormat: "long",
                                                   value: "2014-03-26"

  • Calendar Showing Date Range

    Does anyone know where I can find an example of a calendar showing a date range.
    I would like to show a start date and an end date of an event on the calendar
    Cheers
    Gus

    Hi Gus,
    In that case, you need to create a record for each individual date covered by the period. Obviously, for space/maintenance reasons, you wouldn't want to do this on actual tables, but there are techniques that you can use to construct the required virtual records - some are discussed here: vacation calendar- time consuming query ??

  • Problem In calendar.show uses

    I'm working with Oracle Forms. I created a date item. In the Key-Listval trigger I wrote "calendar.show". In the properties of this item in the block, I chose "Validate From List : No". In the property LOV I chose "Enable_List_Lamp".
    When I chose the value by pressing ctrl+L the calendar is coming in previous window. After selecting the value
    the block level trigger is firing once again and all the value is Initializing.
    How I resolve this problem.
    Thanks

    Hi;
    I suggest close your issue here as answered than move your issue Forum Home » Application Development in PL/SQL » Forms which you can get more quick response

  • Legal requirements for showing specific ESS screens in local language

    Hi All,
    I would appreciate if you can let me know if there is any legal requirements for showing specific screens in local language? I would also like to know which countries and what SAP ESS screens.
    Thanks In Advance
    Sunny

    Good luck with that. I have never seen any "list of all countries" before like you are wanting. This will typically be part of your requirements gathering and blueprinting tasks.
    Just one question....what is your "global template" for implementation and what is your scope for localization? That will dictate much of your work.
