How do I add a birthday to my calendar without it being an event ?

Add them as a Contact. They don't have to have a phone number. Just create a Contact with their name and relevant information.
Your Contacts app is used for more than just phone numbers. Email addresses, physical addresses, date of birth, etc. Use the 'Add Field' option to see all the possibilities.

How can I add songs to itunes music folder without them being duplicated within the folder (not on my hard drive)?

I have music files all over the place and want to put them all in itunes with no duplicates and get rid of all the rest. how can I do that? Some of my playlists are missing songs. I would like to move the playlist back to itunes from my ipod without having to put the songs in my media folder yet again! I have wasted so much time fooling with this. Really what I am trying to get at through all of this is to run the songs on the ipod through ivolume so they play equally.
Can anyone make sense of this for me?

It sounds like you have a few different problems.
To find all your music, try using a spotlight search. Type "kind:music" in the spotlight search (the magnifying glass in the far upper-right corner ) then choose "show all in finder". You'll end up with a window that shows all your music files, regardless of where they are on your hard drive. But don't move any files, because that may confuse iTunes (it won't be able to find files that you move, because - d'oh! - you moved them and now they're not where iTunes left them. That's usually how people end up in the kind of situation that you're in.)
If you want to let iTunes organize your music for you, make sure those options are turned on in the iTunes preferences (in the "advanced" section), then go to the "File" menu, choose "Library" and then choose "Organize library". That will put all your music in the iTunes Library folder (but leave copies of the originals wherever they were, all over your hard drive).
To find duplicates in your iTunes Library, choose "display duplicates" (or hold down the option key and it changes to "display exact duplicates" which might help in some cases). You'll still have to manually go through them to delete one of each duplicate.
Now you can start combining those three techniques - if you consolidate your music and let iTunes copy everything into the music folder, you'll know that iTunes safely has a copy of all your music in the iTunes Library folder. So you can do the spotlight search, and delete any duplicate files that are not in your iTunes library folder. Anything that's left over (that is, it's not a duplicate and it's not in the itunes music folder), you'll need to add to iTunes (try using the "automatically add to itunes" folder - spotlight search to find it - anything you drop in there will get added to iTunes without leaving a duplicate file). Then you can use the itunes "duplicates" feature to find the duplicates in iTunes and fix those.

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 can I add a birthday calendar event?

How can I add a birthday calendar event?

Also open the calendar app, tap on calendars bottom middle of the screen and make sure under other you have birthdays ticked in the calendars

When i go to my calendar there is a birthday package. If I make it checked how do I mark the birthdays on my calendar to have the birthday picture? I obviously need to do something else to make the birthdays show up on the calendar. What?

When i go to my calendar there is a birthday package. If I make that checked (and turned on) how do I make the birthdays on my calendar to have the birthday picture? I obviously need to do something else to make the birthdays show up on the calendar. What?

To show up on the birthday calendar, a birthday has to be entered under the individual contact's information. Go to contact, edit, scroll down to add field and then choose birthday.
Hope this helps.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

How do I add a user's group calendar in iCal?

How do I add a user's group calendar in iCal?
I just keep getting "the account was not found"
But the account works for its own network calendar.
None of the following locations work -
master.mydomain.net:8008/principals/groups/domainusers/calendar
master.mydomain.net:8008/principals/wikis/domainusers/calendar
master.mydomain.net:8008/calendars/_uids_/wiki-domainusers/calendar
and every variation I can think of (I've tried master.local, http:// & webcal:// and a / at the end)
I can add a users network calendar account to iCal.
I can subscribe to a group / wiki calendar in iCal.
I can add an event on the wiki calendar as a user.
But I want a user to be able to add an event to a group calendar in iCal.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Best regards,

HT4623 How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes

How do I add a ringtone to my iPhone without synching to all of iTunes? I have an enormous music library and do not want to add music to my phone. I checked the handle manually button, but it says it's going to erase everything on phone!? I cannot drag into Library from iTunes either. Help!

If it is a new computer and you have not hooked you phone up, then it is NOT the same library you were syncing the phone with previously.
You can only sync with ONE iTunes library at a time. You will have to let it wipe the media from the phone and re-sync any music, ringtones, etc. to it.
Hopefully, you copied your music and other media from your old computer to the new one already.

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?

How can I move an event in my calendar to my "completed" calendar without changing all the events in the series?
As Apple has yet to upgrade iCalendar so I can check off my events as I complete them (no, I do not want to use a task list/reminder list), I want to be able to move my events to my "completed" events calendar as I complete them. The issue is that most of my events are repeating events, and it changes the entire series. How do I change only the event I clicked on using my iPhone?
Thanks

If you change anything in a repeating calendar entry it will give you the option of disconnecting it from the series. So may any random change, choose to not change the series.
