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 do I turn off Facebook text messages?

Hello,
I really don't know where to ask this question, so I hope I'm posting it in the right location. I transitioned from the iPhone 3GS to the new iPhone 4S. On my older iPhone, I NEVER received text messages from Facebook (which is a good thing). However, now that I am using the 4S, I am constantly getting bombarded with text messages from Facebook. They are "notifications", ie, when someone posts to my wall or if someone responds to a comment that I made.
I don't know if this is something that is controlled from the Facebook web page (using Safari on my iMac), or if it is controlled from the Facebook app on my iPhone, or if it is controlled from "Settings" or "Notifications" on the iPhone. I have tried all of these places and turned everything off. All notifications for Facebook are in the "OFF" position. I am at my wit's end because this stupid thing is waking me up in the middle of the night with Facebook text messages.
If anyone can help me in finding out how to turn this feature off, I would sure appreciate it. Thanks!

Okay, it has been a few hours and I have not had a single text message from Facebook. WHEW!!
It had to be your suggestion that fixed it. I don't know how I missed turning off that one notification, but I guess that's what did the trick. They have made this notification stuff a bit confusing, becasue there are multiple areas where you can go in and turn stuff on and offf, and you really can't tell what it is you're doing until it's too late.
Thanks again for your help. I will mark this question as "Answered".

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 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?

How do you turn off birthdays in notification center?

When I synced Facebook and my contacts, every single one of my friends birthdays were synced with my calendar. I turned off the birthday calendar in the app but they continue to spam my notification center EVERY DAY. Does anyone know how to stop this? If not could we request an update that let's us?

unfortunatly, you can't.
In iOS 6 (or in iOS 5 for matter of fact), birthdays are pulled DIRECTLY from your contacts app and then displayed in notification center, and not through the calendar app. So doing anything from Calendar app won't do anything.
The only solution, sadly, at this point, is to disable contact integration with Facebook if you have issues. Currently, there is no proper fix for this, and I'm afraid we won't be seeing any fix for while....

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.

How do I turn off 'additional plug-ins' pop-up reminder? When I'm surfing websites or Facebook, for example, I keep getting the little pop-up, that reduces my screen size, saying additional plug-ins are available to play all content.

How do I turn off the Icloud erase when the phone is turned on?

My husband is a ship captain and He thought he lost his phone, I went through all the procedures of changing his account numbers etc on email
only thing he has on his phone is facebook and email . He didn't have the find my phone app on when he lost it so I deactived it on our cell provider
and from I cloud I set up the find my phone to erase it when its turned on.
Well yes he found it, so I have set back up with the cell service but how do I turn off the find my phone from erasing it when he turns it back on?
And what is it going to erase??
Will he still be able to use it as a phone at least?
thanks for your help!

Too bad. It completely erases the phone so it will be like it was when it came out of the box. He will need to go through the initial setup screens on the phone again to reactivate it before he can use it, and it will require entering his iCloud password to do so.

Opened FireFox and have a continuous annoying police siren!! HOW do I turn OFF??? when firefox closed, siren goes away
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== this morning when I opened FieFox (May 21)

It's Pac-Man's 30th Birthday today, and Google's homepage is a playable Pac-Man game around the Google logo. My boyfriend had the same problem, then I went to Google and was like Hey, it's Pac-Man! And then the siren started. He plays fine on my laptop, but for some reason the music is stuck on his computer.
All you have to do is disable the "Cool Previews" add on for firefox. Go to the "Tools" link at the top of the browser, go down to "Add Ons", go to the "Cool Previews", click "Disable". Then restart firefox and it should be fine!

TS3988 How do I turn off iCloud and go back to the way I had it before?

I am unhappy with iCloud for a number of reasons. I want to go back to backing up my music to an external HD, storing music on my devices, and turn off iCloud.
How do I turn off iCloud? I have iTunes on a PC.
THANKS

Current Firefox versions remember the download directory based upon the URL, so if the URL changes then the default folder may be chosen if there hasn't been selected a download folder before for that server.

Firefox 11 will have a workaround by providing a pref (browser.download.lastDir.savePerSite) to disable this feature.
