Disable Facebook birthday notifications

Okay so I like the Facebook integration in that it updates the address book with pictures and stuff, but I do not want daily reminders popping up on my desktop (or iPad/iPhone), that some of my 400 Facebook friends have a birthday coming up in a day or two.

No matter what I do they still pop up. Have unticked the birthday calendars all over the place, to no avail.

So besides disabling the FB integration completely, is there any other way of getting rid of these?

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion, 8GB Crucial RAM

hi StaceyD-78,

where do you get the birthday notifications, on both iOS and OSX?

for iOS, if you dont want any of the notifications, on notification center, you can disable it.

Well, hi there! My solution where to go into settings then go to contact - Accounts - Icloud Or Mail(Outlook,hotmail etc.) - then turn off Calendars and reminders from there. That worked for me 😀
