Mountain Lion Birthday Calendar Duplicates - no icloud

Like a few other Mountain Lion Calendar users, I also have duplicate birthdays.
I see the actual birthday, normally, and in addition to that a "birthday" the previous day shown as "year - 1" (37th instead of 38th, for example).
I am not using icloud.
I have tried check-uncheck. I comes back within seconds.
I have no duplicate cards in my address book and in my address book the birthdays are correct and not duplicated.
It happened last week, but now I cannot see last week's duplicates anymore, and future birthdays are also correct and not duplicated. It seems that this occurs only for the birthday occurring the next day. I then get a notification for "X's 27th birthday" the day before that person's 28th birthday, and on the birthday I do get the normal notification for "X's 28th birthday".
Has anyone seen this? Should I submit it as a bug report to apple?

Hello Randy, ... hmmm... did not work for me, not the same way anyway. I could not find any duplicates using the demo version of Bento.
NB: I have recently changed my hard disk and moved everything using Time Machine. This first did not change anything (I didn't expect it would).
I waited for the next birthday to come and was again reminded yesterday of a 57th birthday which is actually a 58th birthday today. So basically I was reminded 364 days late ;-) ... as described above, nothing changed.
So I tried again and turned off the birthday calendar in the Calendar preferences, then back on.
(What happened before:
- first the correct birthdays appeared
- then the "364-day-late" birthday appeared after a few seconds... (as if there was a second process going on, adding the wrong data to ical).)
This time, so far, only the correct birthdays have been added as "birthdays".
But: now, after having used Bento to visualise the ical data and after having clicked birthday calendars off an on: on many of the birthdays (but not all), appeared a new "all day event", e.g. "1974 John Smith", in my default calendar category... I am erasing all these now.
Let's see what happens. There are a few more birthdays coming up this month, so I can keep you posted.
Thanks again...

  • After upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    after upgrading to mountain lion my calendar does not print in weekly mode anymore

    I'm having the same problem with both my Vivotek wired network camera and Panasonic wireless network cameras. At first I thought this was an issue with the video framework in Mountain Lion, but if Firefox is working (I haven't tried it yet), it sounds like it may be an objective-c video library that has been changed. It's possible Firefox is using an objective-c interface that calls an objective-c function that isn't called by Safari or IP Camera Viewer, etc., (possibly a function that is on its way to be deprecated) or Firefox could use it's own library that directly calls the video framework.
    Could be the Mountain Lion objective-c framework has a buffering issue.
    Since this is occuring in both 3rd party software and Apple software, it sounds like it's an Apple issue. 3rd party applications typically utilize the Apple Developer objective-c frameworks to access video frameworks/libraries (for example, MJPEG). Thus, contacting 3rd party developers may not solve the situation (unless they can figure out a temporary bandaid--possibly figuring out the video framework call that Firefox uses and patching their software to do the same (not a simple task), but could still provide more feedback to Apple via their developer status.
    Has anyone attempted to record from their cameras via iMovie or Final Cut Pro X HD? I will try mine later tonight to see if it records the hanging. If it does, then it's looking more and more like Apple's the culprit.
    My suggestion is for everyone to file a bug report via http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

  • After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook

    After mountain lion all calendar items are duplicated in outlook. Any idea why this might be.

    I'd keep them in folders - in your user account section, then just link to the folder with an alias and not keep the actual files and folders out on or in Desktop Finder area.
    There is method to madness underneath, most things can be found from top level

  • Contacts (Mountain Lion) birthday list not printing in order

    When I try to print a birthday list from contacts it is no longer in chronological order - it is in no logical order at all.  I am a teacher and need a list of my students in order of age.  Was able to do this before Mountain Lion.

    I just found a way to print contacts in ABC order.  I signed in to my iCloud account online, then went to Contacts. I selected the contact group I wanted to print on the left page (example Xmas card list).  On the right page at the bottom, I clicked on the gear symbol and clicked "select all", then clicked again on "print". When the print window appeared, I saved the file to PDF, just to see if the information was in ABC.  It was!
    print groups or all.... no choices but at least it's a start until they fix it.

  • Did Mountain Lion break calendar and note sync between the Mac and iPhone?

    When I was running Lion, my calendars and notes synced properly between my Mac and iPhone (with notes going into Mail.app). After upgrading to Mountain Lion, the notes on my Mac were moved into Notes.app and my calendars appeared to be unharmed. I've recently noticed that neither my calendars nor my notes are syncing between my Mac and iPhone.
    I use iTunes to sync my data (either via USB or WiFi) and have no interest in moving to iCloud. I have tried the suggestion of enabling iCloud sync on my iPhone, then disabling, as well as telling iTunes to overwrite the calendar data on my iPhone. Neither of these approaches has solved my sync problem.

    I found a solution to my problem. Hopefully it helps someone else too.
    I deleted the following file and folder:
         ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
         ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Sync Changes/
    When I synced my iPhone, I was presented with several sync conflicts to resolve. I resolved them and applied the changes immediately. Now my Mac and iPhone are in sync and I've confirmed that changes are syncing from my Mac to my iPhone (I'll confirm that it works the other direction tomorrow when I can look at my calendar at work).
    This is the thread that helped me:

  • Upgraded to mountain lion, some calendar entrys disappeared

    just installed Mountain Lion, most of my calendar entrys disappeared. can i get them back?

    You are not alone. There are a bunch of other posts on this topic - try searching above. Basically Apple removed the feature and moved it to the Reminders application. Incredibly frustrating.

  • Mountain Lion Mail not syncing with iCloud

    I have a gmail, yahoo mail, microsoft exchange, and apple email account.  I can get all of them to sync on my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.  However, for some reason only the Apple email shows up on iCloud.  I deleted my account and signed out of iCloud on the iMac to hopefully restart but the iCloud mail on Safari is not syncing at all.  If someone has a solution to this problem that would be awesome.  Thank you.

    Mine too is not syncing.
    In fact it has become un-usable !!!!!
    - When I delete emails from my exchange account, they are initially deleted but then are restored ?
    - emails which contain invites to appointments, are not imported to Calendar
    - drafts, which I save are not saved.
    It is a complete pain, and is resulting in my having to look for another email client.
    PLEASE APPLE SORT THIS OUT !!!!

  • Is it possible to turn List View off in Mountain Lion's Calendar?

    I used to be able to see just the day view with calendar blocks.  Now I have a list view between my calendars and my day's schedule.  This is really messing up my work flow (I schedule people all day).  Is it possible to get rid of the list view and go back to just seeing the calendars and the day schedule?

    Don't know about (a), but (b) looks like a 'yes':

  • HT4906 just downloaded os x mountain lion for photo streaming in iCloud...do I also have to purchase the iPhoto app as well?

    do i need to purchase/download anything else...Iam still not able to use the photostream option from the icloud menu.

    Depends on what version of iPhoto you have - PS requires iPhoto '11 version 9.2  - other iCloud features require other versions of iPhoto and of the OS - see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ for details and instructions

  • Migrate Mail Preferences from Mountain Lion to Mavericks & Sync w/iCloud

    1. How do you migrate Mail Preferences, specifically Signatures and Rules, from OS 10.8.5 (Mac Pro) to OS 10.9.5 (MacBook Pro)?

  • How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in iCloud?  In mail, contacts the apple id is correct and matches my new apple id.  I had to change my apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have calendar, contacts and other sync with iCloud.

    How do I change my apple id on iPhone4 in settings/iCloud and settings/mail,contacts,calendar?  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.   iCloud syncs fine with my iPad and my iPad has the new apple id in settings/iCloud.  I had to change my original apple id when I upgraded to Mountain Lion in order to have iCloud sync.  iCloud does not sync with my iPhone4.  My iPhone4 settings/iCloud shows my original apple id and will not allow me to change it.

    To change your iCloud ID you have to delete the account, then sign in with the alternate ID.  Before doing this, if you want to keep your data and move it to the new account, go to Settings>iCloud and turn each of your synced data to Off, and when prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone.  When everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account, the sign back in with your other account ID and turn syncing back on; when prompted, choose merge.
    If all your data is already in your other account then you don't need to do this.  Just delete the account from your phone, selected not to keep the data, then sign into the new account, turn on data syncing and if prompted, choose merge.

  • When syncing calendars between mountain lion and ios6 on iCloud, the times of events change

    When I sync calendars between my iphone 4s running ios6 and my macbook pro running mountain lion 10.8.2 using icloud, the start times and end times of my events change ... very frustrating !!!

    This is usually due to one of the two devices having the wrong time or being in the wrong time zone.
