iCal shows birthdays late

iCal shows events and birthdays up to two weeks late.


I've tried the following, with no joy:


  • deleted and redone the contact in Address Book
  • Restarted iCal
  • Restarted Mac
  • Repaired Permissions


Any ideas?

Drag a late showing event and birthday to the desktop, then open the resulting .ics files with TextEdit and paste the contents here. Take a screenshot of iCal showing the late-showers and put it with the reply.

Looks like the data there's wrong.... "1452-04-24"


Is there a way of editing it then importing to iCal?
