Hi, I have most of my birthdays entered into ical as part of my regular calendar. Some of my new addresses I have the birthday field set correctly.

How can I get the birthdays in an address book field to show up in ical? Ideally what I'd like to have is all the birthdays in their appropriate address book entries, and an ical calendar that just consists of birthdays. That way I can toggle viewing them seperately from my regular calendar.

I couldn't find this in the help anywhere.

Thanks,

J.

I'm not sure if it does everything you need, but I used this when I needed to add birthdays to ical from address book entries:

I really wish Apple would make this feature standard, rather than making us rely on third-party apps to do something so simple (and expected).

Thanks, that's perfect. What a great little piece of software. Can't believe that it's not standard with the ical app.

There is also iCal Birthday Shifter - available at VT and Macupdate.
