Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Have you tried removing the year from the Birthday in Contacts?

That seemed to work for the one contact I tried.

Did anyone ever figure this out? The default birthday for my contacts is coming up (Nov. 30) and I'd like to get rid of all the clutter (and not manually!)

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.

In response to the original problem:

I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).

tell application "Contacts"

set thePeople to selection

repeat with aPerson in thePeople

set theDate to birth date of aPerson

if theDate is not missing value then

set the year of theDate to 1604

set birth date of aPerson to theDate

end if

end repeat

end tell

copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.

Do you have any legitimate dates that are 2000? If so, you'd have to remove them from the selection, or go back in and edit them after the fact.

tell application "Contacts"

set thePeople to selection

repeat with aPerson in thePeople

set theDate to birth date of aPerson

if theDate is not missing value and year of theDate is 2000 then

set the year of theDate to 1604

set birth date of aPerson to theDate

end if

end repeat

save

end tell

It's possible to enable the age in birthday notification also in italian OS X?

Now the notification show like this.

An other question.

The first notification is the BirthdayCalendar of contacts app

The second notification is the gMail Calendar subscription.

The apple calendar notification put the name after the string "Compleanno di ... " and the result is the name truncate.

It's possible to best this notification?

Thanks.

I don't know the answer to either question.

Thank's Barney.

I have already submitted a feed to apple.

Hopefully we solve

Bye
