Running two macs. Both up to date and time zone correct. The only calendar/contacts I am using is Apple.
Birthdays showing fine on icloud.
On the macs, birthdays not showing when the calendar opened on either machine.
Enter preferences and hit the check box, all is well for that session.
Next time I open the calendar, the box is unchecked again.
Any ideas? Searched, and all that is srecommended is check the box.

Hi, Stoorsooker.
I'm glad you decided to reach out on the Apple Support Communities forums today. I understand that you’re not able to get either of your Macs to retain the setting when you select “Show Birthdays calendar” as outlined in this guide:
Show or hide the Birthdays calendar on Mac
Have you tried any basic troubleshooting to see if you can get the calendar to stay selected between sessions? If not, I would try each of these and test between each step to see if it stays selected after closing the Calendar app.

How to upgrade to macOS Catalina
If you’re not able to upgrade to macOS Catalina, reply here with the type of Mac you have. It will help me (or another Apple Support Communities user) guide you to the latest compatible version of macOS for your device(s).
Find the model and serial number of your Mac
Please only post the model here. Your serial number should never be given in a public forum.Â
Best Regards.

Hi there.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.
Been through that and Just this minute found two duplicate empty folders showing 0Kb. So biffed them and it all seem to be good. Will reply if problem returns.
Thanks again.
Birthdays not showing in calendar.
