Can I add multiple birthdays?

I'd like to add more than one birthday on a few of my address cards, so I can add them to a birthday calendar. I'd like to because many of my friends are married couple with kids, and I don't want to have a separate address card for each person just for their birthdays. Is there a way to do that? Right now there is only a red minus symbol to delete the b-day, but not a green plus symbol like there is for numbers and addresses.

I've sent in my feedback in hopes Apple will add more date options in Address Book, and allow more flexiblity in adding them in iCal.
One disappointment I have with the integration between Address Book and iCal is that important dates cannot be automatically entered in Address book and put in iCal as a new calendar. I realize after upgrading the 10.5 that you can now at least do one birthday calendar, but that is very limited.
I would like to see a more natural contact format in Address Book that allows multiple dates to be entered under one contact, i.e. - a husband and wife with a couple kids being listed with all birthdays, anniversaries, or other important dates. I would also like iCal to be able to have automated calendars for those dates, or any date fields created. I think that alone would put the Address Book/iCal combo into a new, and very powerful position.
Any plans for this?

  • How do I add multiple birthdays to address book cards?

    I am trying to figure out how to add multiple birthday's to cards in my address book.  Example I have Jennie & John Smith & their daughters Sue & Susie.  How do I add a birthday for each one?  There does not seem to be a way to add more then 1 birthday but I can add as many URL's, e-mails, phones, address etc. as I want?

    Hi RSER,
    Apologies in advance for quantity of detail following..
    Currently there appears to be no way to add an additional birthday. (Haven't explored command line options)
    There are shareware options that will allow you to utilise the 'anniversaries' field to make additional birthdays and add them to iCal.
    Personally, when I want that level of individual detail for a person I make a sep. card and add a note or 'related person' item.
    I can only assume that the decision was made by Apple that we can have (and do) any number of phones and emails etc, but usually have only one birthday (some lucky people ie Queen Elizabeth have an official public holiday 'birthday' in some Commonwealth countries, so they get more gifts... but then have your issue)
    With iCal you are potentially stepping into a minefield (so many things could be improved)
    But consider that Apple have a key philosophy of simple.
    There is enough for everyday use, but not so much it is overwhelming to the new user
    If you want advanced functionality/technical capabilities, buy a 3rd party product
    Certainly there are additions I would like to see:
    The 'related names' field would be very useful if it were threaded within the address book to link/refer to other contacts, not just a static field.
    Threading within contacts would also be convenient for adding names/addresses to an appointment in iCal (but not have to send requests etc)
    Making a contact a 'Business', should allow multiple 'people', or as above, tie in multiple contacts
    Maybe something for v6...
    Maybe I should buy another app too
    Hope that at least eases the pain.

  • How do you add multiple birthdays to one contact

    I keep searching but it seems all the tips are old form previous versions or I am missing something.  I am currently using Mac OS X 10.7.3
    I am trying to add multiple birthdays in my Address Book under one person, thier family members and I want it to sync with iCal.  I also did not see the Anniversary option in Address Book
    Please help,
    Thank you,

    This has two parts. The second one, having the extra dates sync with iCal/Calendar, I don't (yet) know how.
    The first one, though, isn't so hard. Go to Addressbook/Contacts preferences. Under templates, click on "Add field" and select "dates."
    Now you can customize the template to default with "Anniversary" or whatever other nametag you'd like to give the date field or fields.
    I'd really like to hear how, if it's at all possible, even, to have those sync in iCal/Calendar.

    Can it be done from an .xlsx file?

    I have tried that, but the system reads the emails as one long email and I can't find any way of separating them - it ignores spaces, colons and I have also tried putting them through a word doc... still does not work. It works perfectly easily on a PC system!! ( I have just moved to a mac!)
    any ideas would be good

  • How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic

    How can I add multiple contacts to a text message on a droid bionic?

    DH
    I was thinking that if he wanted to create multiple keyframes he might be creating a repeated effect rather than manipulating values that are shot specific - like creating an oscillation or some repeated step effect.  If he was creating keyframes specific to his content he'd probably not look for a way to do it "quickly" since each keyframe would require manipulation of specific values. 
    So my thought was to generate the series of keyframes on a dummy clip created for this specific purpose, copy the clip, paste attributes (maybe turn off "Scale Attribute Times") and add bunches of keyframes at once. 
    Still, you're right, it's tough to divine the intent of someone very new to FCP.  His question could be based on a misunderstanding about the use of keyframes.

  • How can I add multiple, successive destinations in "Maps" such as on a delivery trip with several stops ?

    How can I add multiple, successive destinations in"Maps" such as on a delivery trip with multiple stops and so needing driving directions i.e. set up a route ?

    Maps help:
    Mark a location with a pin
    You can drop a pin on a location to get directions or help you find it again. 
    Open Maps
    On your map, go to the location you want to mark with a pin.
    Choose View > Drop Pin. If the pin isn’t exactly where you want it, put the pointer on it and hold down the button until the pin “hops.” Drag the pin into place, then release the button.
    To see information about a location, click its pin, then click the Info button. To close the Info window, click outside of it.
    To remove a pin, select it, then choose View > Clear Pin.
    Get directions
    Using Maps, you can get directions to help you navigate on foot or behind the wheel. Once you've decided where you're going, click the Share button to send your map and directions to your iPhone. (Your iPhone must have iOS 7 and be signed into the same iCloud account as your Mac.) 
    Open Maps
    Do one of the following:
    Click Directions to open the directions sidebar, then enter the starting and ending locations.
    On the map, click a pin to display its info banner, click the info button to see more info, then choose “Get Directions.” (If your starting location doesn't have a pin, you can Control-click or tap it with two fingers, then choose Drop Pin.)
    Click either the car (driving directions) or person (walking directions).
    If multiple routes appear on the map, click the one you want to take.
    To zoom in on a turn, click it in the directions sidebar.
    To close or reopen the directions sidebar, click Directions in the toolbar.

  • Outlook 2010 - can you add multiple signatures to a single email?

    Basically using 2 or 3 signatures to create a quick email?  By adding a 2nd or 3rd signature to a new email.  I can't get this to work like it did in 2007.
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    Thank you for using Outlook IT Pro Discussions forum. 
    We can certainly add multiple signatures to a new email.
    In Outlook 2010, click
    File > Options > Mail > Signature. We can add multiple signatures there, and set a default signature.
    After that, when we compose an email, click the
    Insert tab, click Signature in the
    Include group, we can choose other signatures.
    If you encounter any problems when trying to add the signatures, please let me know.
    Best Regards,

  • Can I add multiple linked documents to an existing project?

    Can I add multiple linked documents to an existing project without breaking the project?
    The project I'm working on is due to go live in just a little over a month. I've recently acquired some training materials that contain information that needs to be merged into the help file. The problem is that there is not enough time to do it, get it reviewed, and so on.
    So I had this idea of linking to the Word docs (there are 3) for now, then cleaning things up as we go along.
    Is that a stupid idea this late in the game?
    Would it be better to create a separate help file with just those docs and then merge the projects into a master project?
    I am using RoboHelp 9 and Word 2010.

    I don't think the idea in itself is silly but I think there might be a nicer solution.
    Link the documents to a new project. How is described on my site. Alternatively import them.
    Once you have got the topics looking how you want, then import them into your main project. You then have the topics ready to edit later on but for now they can go as they are.
    Backup your main project before you start the import so that you can backtrack if you want to.
    The TOC will not come in automatically this way but you'll likely want to add the new stuff manually anyway. Alternatively you can import the TOC and then append it.
