What do you use instead of iCal? Set an alarm on that.
Or set up a google account, use the calendar, set it up for email and/or text reminders at user defined times. And you can subscribe to them in iCal, or even set it up as an exchange account. Failing that, get in the habit of starting iCal when you turn your mac on :) ---------------------------------------------------------- Manor Park Medical Centre www.manorparksurgery.com Tel 01323482301 East Sussex Local Medical Committee (Chair) www.sslmcs.co.uk/ Tel 01372389271 ---------------------------------------------------------- Have your say about NHS market reforms Visit www.lookafterournhs.org.uk On 14 April 2010 09:22, Philippe Chandless <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > In iCal preferences I have selected 'Show Birthdays Calendar' but I can't > find a way of setting any kind of alarm for actual birthdays which means > that, not being a heavy iCal user, I don't find out there's one coming up > until it's too late. > Does anyone know how I can avoid being embarrassed by 'forgetting' a > birthday (apart from being better organised)? > Many thanks > Philippe > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Sussex Mac User Group" group. > To post to this group, send an email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] <smug%[email protected]>. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/smug?hl=en-GB. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
