hi there. this seems like a lame question, but i can't seem to find any information about it! i want the birthdays i specify in my address book contacts to be dynamically populated into ical. this would seem logical considering the integration between the two.

many of my contacts have a birthdate, but they don't show up in ical.

ideally, they can be set to show up in a specific calendar called 'birthdays'.

any help on what the problem is? thanks!

Sucks, I know, but here's a program that helps in the meantime:

that's pretty cool, thanks. i take it, however, that ical does not have the functionality i assumed it did with auto-importing things from other apps like address book? how the hell did that keep off the feature list at apple?!?!?! ludicrous!

Maybe it is in but they have much more things to do in other parts of the application?
