I have two birthday reminders for single contacts?

Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere but it was proving difficult to search through all the other threads.
Ok so for some reason i've got two different birthday reminders for some contacts. I'm using Windows Live Mail and I synced all my contacts from there onto my ipod and the birthdays have carried over (I think, not sure if all of them but hey). I am sure that I did manually put the birthdays in for a couple of contacts a while before I synced all the contacts from WLM so that could be the reason for some, but there are definitely others which I couldn't have done - reason being I don't know the date of their birthday. One has a red dot next to it, the other is a picture of a present/gift.
Here's a screenshot:
Now if possible, I would prefer to have them all just as the one with the present next to it... so anyone know what's going on here?
Also, some of them show up with the nickname instead of the full name (I fixed them all before I synced). I double-checked in WLM and in the contacts folder in my document and this guy had an empty box for 'nickname' on both accounts.... yet it still shows up as his nickname
So anyone know how to fix this? I'm a bit of an OCD freak so it's driving me insane haha
Thanks

Not to worry. When you imported your calendars from Windows Live, it synced the birthdays you had there. Since you also entered the birthdays for some of the same people on their contact information as well, it shows up twice because it automatically pushed the birthday to the calendar. You have to choose between Windows Live calendars or your device's conatcts. Essentially speaking, it would the best decision to choose the one that has the most birthdays already entered. I'll give you both scenarios, however:
If you want to get rid of the Windows Live birthday:
-Tap the event that has the dot next to it
-Edit the event
-Delete the event (and all recurring events)
**I believe this will also delete the event across all other devices that have the Windows Live account synced
If you want to get rid of the contact's birthday that you entered manually:
-Go into your Contacts on your iOS device
-Go to the contact that has the birthday that is repeated (for example, the pictures that you included: "Calum Leask.")
-Edit the contact
-Remove the birthday from the contact
I hope I was of help

  • I have two "Birthdays" categories in my Ical

    Hi
    I suddenly have two "birthday" categories in my Ical which means that every birthday is showed twice which is very annoying. Can anybody help me with this problem?
    /Kudsk

    Hi guys,
    The worst came to me very soon after my previous post: I got "three" copies of each birthday subscribed from Address Book on my iCal. I noticed one thing though. There were three duplicates of each contact in my Address Book.
    My workaround was going through my Address Book and deleted the duplicates one by one. To make the job more tedious, the cursor jumped funnily while I was trying to highlight each duplicate. It was a great pain for me as I had to delete 764 duplicated contacts to get my 382 contacts back to their original states. I then quit Address Book and iCal, and re-opened iCal but the duplicated birthdays still persisted. They went away only when I unchecked birthday subscription from Address Book in iCal preference and quit iCal then re-opened iCal and subscribed birthday from Address Book again.
    I have no idea why it happened this way. I guess it must have been a bug or two in syncing among my MacBook and Backup and iDisk.
    It was a very painful process but it solved my problem. I hope someone would come up with a better solution if there is one.
    Good luck,

  • Why is it when I enter a birthday date for a contact as the 12th of November 1993 that the birthday appears as the 11th of November and as the 19th birthday rather than the correct 20th?

    Yoor post is very confusing. AOL's iPad magazine is called "Editions" and it's free. "The Daily" is put out by TheDailyHolding and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You've already posted in another thread where the solution was given. Other people seem to have manged to get unsubscribed.
    Best of luck.

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Can I have two different libraries for iTunes?

    I would like to have two different libraries for iTunes. How can I do it?
    Regards.

    To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library: Using multiple iTunes libraries -Mac
    Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one.

  • How can I update the apps. with the new iTune, that's really silly especially I have two iTune account for different countries

    I used 2 iPhones and a iPad, 2 Apple ID for different countries so that I can download apps. from different country.  Its a pain and sometimes no possible to update the apps. on the ISO devices.  Apple really needs to fix this aspect.  Also the new iTunes is so difficult to use, please bring back the old one.

    When Itunes opens
    1) Click on drop dow list button top left under the player controls
    2) Select Apps
    3) At the bottom right there are two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps
    An Alternative is when iTunes opens in the top menu Click on View, Show Sidebar. Then you will see your apps page as in itunes 10. Click on that option and as before you should have two buttons, Check for updates and Get More Apps.
    NB this is all within Itunes NOT the iTunes Store

  • I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same emails. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion?

    I have two accounts and for both accounts I use the same email. I cannot verify my email on my main account because of this. Help? Can I just cancel my other account to avoid confusion? I am totally stuck now.

    By the sounds of it you have linked Email Accounts, if so this means that you will both recieve the majority of the same Emails, and if you do and you read them on your account (which is linked with your husbands) then they will appear to read on the both of them because they are linked. With the majority of Email providers these days they're Emails are (simplified) in the cloud you could say, meaning that if you read or delete shared Emails then it will do the same on both accounts rather than just the yours.
    I hope all that made sense, sorry that I couldn't be of anymore assistance.. If you havent already try googling your problem - you may find some answers on there

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • Family Sharing won't work because I have two separate accounts for iCloud and iTunes

    I have two Apple accounts, one that is connected to my iTunes Store purchases, and another for iCloud. I had to do this for reasons related to transitioning from the old MobileMe service to iCloud a few years ago.
    So now with Family Sharing, if I use my iTunes account, I can't share calendars or other iCloud type information, and if I use my iCloud account I can't share my music and app purchases.
    Is there anything I can do to remedy this? Can I combine everything into a single account somehow?

    Under "Setting up Family Sharing" here: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/family-sharing/ it says:
    "You can accept a Family Sharing invitation from any compatible iOS device or Mac where you are signed into iCloud. Or, if the organizer is nearby, they can simply ask you to enter your iCloud Apple ID and password during the setup process. To complete setup, you will also confirm the Apple ID you use for the iTunes, iBooks, and App Stores so you can share your purchases with family members."
    This suggests that you can specify a different ID for the iTunes store if you aren't using your iCloud ID for purchasing.
