Can't turn off Facebook birthdays

I have an iPhone 4s running iOS 6.1.2. I have synced Facebook contacts with phone contacts, I also have the Facebook App.
I have disabled Facebook in notifications (no banners, off on every option), I go into Calendar and disable the "Birthdays" under "Facebook", I have even diabled Birthdays for phone contacts.
Once another birthday comes along the option in Facebook Birthdays for Calendar is enabled as if by magic and up pops a notification. I disable it again and once another birthday comes along, hey presto it enables itself again with another message. The phone contacts birthdays does not re-enable itself, just the Facebook Birthdays.
Seems like either a bad Facebook "bug" which is legally a privacy infringment, or an iPhone bug.

The bug is that Facebook Birthdays calendars keeps turning back on by itself. Once I turn off birthdays, they disapear from the calendar, then re-appear after something turns the option back on.
Bug is that something is turning the calendar back on without permission. Disabling a usefull feature due to what seems to be a bug (or maybe done on purpose by the Facebook App) is not a solution.
If it is the Facebook App doing this, then that is against the law in EU and USA and it goes against the Apple and legal privacy policies and laws.
I know it seems minor, but due to privacy laws and my phone is being altered without my consent, this could be quite a serious situation. If it is the Facebook app doing it (I'm not saying it is), this would encourage people to go onto Facebook to wish birthday wishes, then they are committing a crimnal offence by altering a phone contrary to the the users consent for their profit (adds are shown to us in Facebook which profit them).

How do I turn off Facebook birthdays

How do i remove Facebook's birthday notifications?
I want to keep Facebook calendar integration, but I don't want the daily birthday notifications.
Is there a way to turn them off using Facebook, iCloud, or any other way?

In my opinion this is an "on purpose hack" by Facebook as I feel it is to tempt you to log onto Facebook to wish happy birthday, and thus expose you to adverts.
I have disabled Facebook birthdays in my calendar so many times, but it keeps getting checked again as if by magic.
I have disabled access to my calendar from Facebook, even disabled Facebook notifications in Settings, and the option in the Calendar keeps re-selecting itself.
I have now disabled all push notifications in the Facebook app under settings, lets see what happens.
If this is a hack, I hope Facebook get a huge fine for illegal privacy and hacking law breaches. Lets see if the authorities in America or the EU stand up for consumers.

How can I turn off Facebook check-in notifications?

I keep getting notified when one of my facebook friends checks in to a certain location. Thing is I'm not interested in being informed of this. Is there a way to turn off check-in notifications? And before you answer, yes I have gone to Settings > Facebook > Push Notifications and turned off Nearby Friends and Place Tags.

Sorry Michael Bratley but English must clearly not be your first language when the guy clearly states he's already turned notifications off in settings then you tell him to do what he's already done lol
But dont feel bad it's the same story through out this forum
No one being able to help
And everyone posting silly pointless solutions that don't fix the issues
Anyone figured out why I only get nearby notifications (within the app) from only one person yet?
When I have all settings notifs turned off and nearby within Facebook app turned off too?

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

How can I turn off notifications on my Droid Maxx?

I followed the directions to go to "Active Display"-- but I see no
manage notifications", which is supposed to be there. What can I do to turn off facebook notifications, particularly? They are coming in every minute--crazy!

There is another setting in the Facebook app that will let you uncheck or unsubscribe to the notifications. The notification you change is the software notification for new versions of the software. You need to dig around and you will find notifications for friends posts, emails, new friend requests etc... I will look at the app tonight and see if I can get you more direction on where to go to get it but it is hidden pretty good.

How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
Now we need to develop our own security module.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

hi,

calls.
2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
api/ur api..

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
