Is there a way to exclude certain groups from my contacts so those birthdays don't show up in my calendar?

I like the birthday button in iCal, but it is pulling in birthdays from every contact that I have a birthday for in my addressbook.  I have a sub-group that all have birthdays, but I don't want to see those birthdays in my calendar as they are not a group of people I have to deal with on a regular basis.  I don't want to delete those birthdays and lose the data, but I don't want to see their birthdays in my calendar (over 400 people).  Is there any way to exclude certain people's birthdays from my address book?

The birthday calendar lists all contacts that have a birthday listed in the birthday field.  You would have to do something like cut and paste this data into the notes field of the contacts you wanted to exclude from the birthday calendar in order to keep this data without showing them in your birthday calendar.

    I'd like to only show the first page of a section in ibooks author's preview.

    Thanks for your reply, Ken. I did start a separate topic for this but it didn't seem to publish properly.

  • Is there a way of excluding Time Machine from drives list?

    Every time I save a file or an application scans the drives on my iMac, the Time Machine drive is included.
    But because the HDs in the external drive (Iomega) go to sleep between Time Machine back ups, they have to spin up (2 HDs in a RAID setup, so both have to spin up) before the application can go on. That takes something between 5 and 10s every time.
    Is there a way of excluding the TM drive from the normal drives list? So that it's invisible to applications?
    Cheers,
    Marco

    if it is spotlight that i s scanning your drives, add the time machine drive to the privacy area in system prefs:spotlight:privacy. either drag the drive to the window or click the + buttonon bottom right.

  • Is there a way to exclude programming structures from diagram cleanup?

    So, I just started Labviewing a month or 2 ago. I really have to get used to the wires. Now, the "Diagram Cleanup" tool generally works fine, but even after tweaking it, it still makes my VI's explode to 3x their size. Is there a way to lock the programming structures I arranged to my liking, so the "Diagram Cleanup" tool doesn't re-inflate them when I decide my newly written code needs a cleanup?
    Thanks. 
    Jacco

    After discovering what the "Event Structure" was for (shame on me for not finding it earlier ), I cleaned up my window considerably, since I no longer had a couple of screens full of buttons connected to case structures.

    No...
    Alright, suppose I'll just have to not use the cleanup function in my sort-of-organized VI's then. 
    BTW, if your code is really growing to
    the extend mentioned that might be an indication that you need to
    revisit your code's basic design. Can you post screen shots of the
    Navigation window showing your code?
    Mike...
    Grouping events neatly together solves most of my space requirements for now, it's just a little larger than my 1028x1024 screen (until next time I decide to click "Clean up diagram" ).
    Just wanted to be sure I hadn't missed the option to "lock" loops from auto changes. Thanks for the help.

  • Is there any way to email a group from your iPhohe4 iOS 5?

    I can create groups in my contacts list, but I have not been able to figure out how to email a specific group.  I am assuming since I can create a group I should be able to email that group by typing in its name in the "to" box of my email.  However, that does not work.  Is there any way to do this? 

    Please check you contact name in the device and verify if the names does not start with none alphabetic characters (e.g. @, &, *, etc).  This characters will actually stop the sync process and will not be able to successfully complete the transfer of data. Do the same thing with the contact data you have online just to be sure..
    If that it still doesn't work, delete your Google account on the device, restart, and then recreate the same account.
    Let me know how it goes... 

  • Is there a way to create different groups for my contacts using the installed contact app

    I am trying to make a group on my contacts. So that it's easier to just make messages to people and not having to make group messages every single time. For example, making a group for a sports team so that I can just message everyone in the group at once.

    No not possible but you can create contact groups at www.icloud.com and if you have contact synced thru cloud the groups you make at www.icloud.com will appear on your phone

    If there is, I don't know how. I moved to Apple products about a year ago and in general I love them, but they just don't do some of the most basic of things, this being one of them. At the end of the day Microsoft Office products are head and shoulders ahead of the game.

  • Is there a way to move tab group from one window to another?

    I have several windows open, and some of them have multiple tab groups. Is there an easy way to move these tab groups between the windows?
    I saw the workaround of making bookmarks of all the tabs in one group, move to the target window and open the bookmarks there.
    To be honest I found this one a slow and messy way to do things and hope to find a better solution or raise this as a feature request.
    using up-to-date Firefox (26.0 at the time of writing)

    Hi bsbs,
    I don't think so, there are bugs that do exist about this as well
    *Tab group not available in customize tool bar in a second window if tab groups is open [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840579]
    Patrick helped me find this add on [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabgroups-manager/] where it groups tab groups into other groups, and there are bugs that have the [feature request] title in them.

  • Is there a way to block certain websites from my computer?

    A website keeps saying "This website is a threat to your computer" or something like that when I go to certain websites. I scanned my computer with McAfee and it said that the website posting that was a hazard to my computer. I can't find any antivirus software (for free) to download to my computer that works (my computer says there's an error when downloading) and when I looked at the page again it had something that said "..I.. " in it and the I was lowercase so i figured that an official page would at least have all that kind of stuff capitalized.
    I just want to know how to block this website (or get a link to an antivirus download, for free, that actually works).
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I went to get on a website

    Really no need to install anything to block websites, you can use the HOSTS file that is in every Operating System.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HOSTS
    Just a matter of locating the HOSTS file and learning a little bit about how to add a domain or IP address you want to block to that file.

  • Way to unload FM group from memory

    hi experts,
    Is there any way to remove fm group from memory and reload it into memory mannual in the components of the fm group?
    I set up a workflow and create a fm group to work for the workflow. A task in workflow calls a BO's method which calls a fm of the FMgroup for a user dialog. The user dialog screen belongs to the same fm group.
    But I found in business workplace(SBWP), when the previous workitem completed , that is, the user finish his screen, the FMgroup is not removed from memory. I think it is because the calling program, the business workplace, didn't end. So I wonder is there any way to remove the fm group from memory mannaully?
    thx!

    In Java who unload objects of memory is the Garbaga Collection.
    But we can help the G.C. doing the object eligible to be unload. For example.:
    class InfoData{
    class A{
    public static InfoData id = new InfoData();
    ... do something with id ...
    public void aMethod(){
    id = null; //do the static object elgible to be collected by G.C. !!!
    }

  • Is there a way to exclude specific calendars from Notifications and alerts?

    I have 4 calendars:  1 Exchange and 1 Yahoo that includes 2 shared calendars (wife and MIL).  I activate the Yahoo calendars only when I need them and do not need any yahoo reminders at all.  When I swipe down the Notifications page, it includes all four calendars including the shared Yahoo calendars. What's worse, I get alerts from all four calendars. 
    I only want Exchange alerts and notifications. Is there a way to exclude the Yahoo calendars from Notifications and alerts?
    Right now, the only way I can eliminate them is by deactivating the Yahoo account in Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

  • Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a query when receiving the "List View Lookup Threshold" error.

    Hi All,
    My users require the ability to select a sharepoint group from a drop down list and then be able to select a user from a people picker based on the drop down selection.    The best solution I was able to up with, was create a people picker
    for each drop down selection and set the Sharepoint group field to the selected group.  All people picker filed are hidden except the one that matches the drop down selection.  When creating an entry from the sharepoint list this method
    works perfectly.
    However, when I add the list onto a site page using an "Listview webpart", then add an infopath web part and then finally connect the two parts, I get a "List View Lookup Threshold" error when selecting an entry from the list.  I
    understand from the error and reading that this error is related to the number of People pickers in the list.   Is there a way to exclude temporary people picker fields from a site page query, as they are only temporary fields to allow the users
    to select a person and then assign the name to another field.
    Dwayne

    Hi Dwayne,
    In SharePoint 2013, we could manually create a list for all users. Here are the reference:
    Go to Site Settings >  People and Groups > SiteMembers
    Modify url
    http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=8 to
    http://sp/sites/tutu/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0 , now you will see All people in this site.
    Change the view to List view, and copy the listview id in the url
    http://sitename/_layouts/15/people.aspx?MembershipGroupId=0&View={viewID}
    Go to Settings > List settings, copy the list id in the url
    http://sitename/_layouts/15/listedit.aspx?List=listeid&Source=....
    Now type the address in IE:
    http://sitename/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=[LISTID]&View=[VIEWID]&CacheControl , such as
    http://sp/sites/tutu/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll?CS=109&Using=_layouts/query.iqy&List=f3958d27-9c2f-4f8d-b221-89466e816667&View=696BFDC5-0C6E-4E27-818F-0E6292A18407&CacheControl=1
    Save the owssvr.jqy from SharePoint site
    Now you could see the file in your desktop with all users, save it as allusers in Excel.
    Then import it to your SharePoint site, add an app > find an app > import spreadsheet
