Re: Ical information (Birthday / Anniversary list)
Hi all, With Address Book Server (http://www.addressbookserver.com) you get a report which shows you upcoming birthdays as well as anniversaries. I had the same issue as Lloyds and figured a nice web based report would fix this for me. The report even shows you the number of days remaining until the even or anniversary as well as it's iteration. So now I have no more excuses left to forget my wedding anniversary :-) If anybody on this list want to try it out please email me and I will send you a key. Have fun Alex PS: I am the developer of Address Book Server. On 10 Jan 2010, at 04:59, Lloyd White wrote: Hi Lloyd, Were they 'yearly' - Recurring Events?

Rod has pointed out what I should have done and how to fix it.

Re: Ical information
If you double click an ical item then click edit then select from the repeat field "every year" and make sure the end field shows "never" that should do the trick.cheersBlittoOn 10/01/2010, at 11:11 AM, Lloyd White wrote:I recently reformatted my HD and reinstalled Snow Leopard.Before doing this i had exported my previous iCal data.I opened it in the reinstalled iCal.All of the birthdays etc are there for last year but not for 2010.Is there a way of making these events perpetual?

Re: Ical information
Thanks Rod, That worked. It will take time to do this for each event but once done it will be fixed. Of course I should have done that when I entered it the first time.
