I would like to set up a calendar showing only birthdays. When I try it pulls in all my Doctor visits and holidays.

How can I do that?

Hi DanMccarter,


Thank you for providing a screenshot.


As you can see by the color of the Birthday event, it has been manually added to the Main Calendar account.


You can either add the Birthday information to the respective contact to have it show up in the Birthdays Calendar, or create a new calendar called 'Birthdays' and move the event to that calendar. You can learn how to do so here: Move events to another calendar on Mac.


Thanks again!

Hi DanMccarter,


I understand you'd like to setup a calendar for birthday events only.


If the Birthday field is filled in for your Contact(s), they will automatically show in the Calendar app.


If you wish to see them separately, you can add create a new Calendar and them manually to the respective dates. You can learn how to set multiple calendars here: Set up multiple calendars on iPhone and Add or delete calendar accounts on Mac. Once added, you can set the events to repeat annually.


Hope this helps!


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
