Why does my name say Holidays In United States

I can't seem to find a place to uncheck Mail within the calendar. Can you please give specific instructions? This is driving me nuts! Thanks!

I found this online and may be helpful:

Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in Mac OS X Mail

To remove an email address from the auto-complete list in Mac OS X Mail:

1. Begin with a new, empty email in OS X Mail.
2. Start typing the recipient's address or name in the To: field.
3. Select the address you want to remove from the auto-complete list as if you would compose an email to the address.
4. Click the small down arrow next to the recipient's name or address as it appears in the To: line.
5. Select Remove from Previous Recipients List from the menu.

   If you do not see Remove from Previous Recipients List:

   1. Click Show Contact Card.
   2. Now click Open with Contacts.
   3. If the email address you want to remove appears in black:
      1. Click Edit.
      2. Now click the white minus sign on red (⊖) in front of the unwanted email address.
      3. Click Done.
   4. If the undesired email address appears in gray:
      1. Click the i button (ⓘ) that appears to its right.
      2. Now select Remove on the sheet that appears.
         • The sheet explains how OS X Mail came to associate the email address with the contact; it might have appeared in the signature of an email from them, for instance. ​​
   5. Close the Contacts window.

1. Close the email composition window
2. Select Don't Save on the saving dialog that has appeared.

Delete an Email Address from Auto-Complete in OS X Mail using the Previous Recipients List

You can also search for the unwanted address directly in the previous recipients list:

Select Window | Previous Recipients from the menu in Mac OS X Mail.

• Highlight the address you want to remove.

  You can highlight multiple addresses by holding down the Commandkey.

• Click Remove from List.

Hi All

If you right click on the email address after type it in and press Enter. It will give you options, if you edit the contact you can change it there.

Alternatively you can add it to your contacts

I did that and now it's fine

But I can't answer WHY it did that.....

this is weird. The same thing has happened to me.

Have you looked at your mail preferences to see if there is an account with that name?

Thanks, that worked!

Why the HECK does Apple let this happen to so many email addresses is beyond reason. Holidays in the United States? What kind of a goofy name is THAT to assign as a default?

Apple ain't what it used to be...

I've been having this issue too. I had a chat with Apple last night about it and we discovered that it is actually a Google problem, that is occurring not just in OS X but in Windows and Linux too.

Here is a post on the Google forums:

Thank you thank you! I thought I was going insane! Google needs to get it together or I am closing my account!

Since we are on this subject, has anyone noticed that your calendar changed its time zone? All of my appointments are now at night. I haven't traveled over the holidays....this is a GMAIL calendar.

I was looking at the Calendar on my iPad and saw "Holidays in the United States." This selection slows respective holidays during the year. Perhaps if you uncheck this your problem will go away.

You can Possibly fix this by clicking on the arrow that points down on the right hand side of the name when it appears after adding it and clicking "remove from previous recipient list" and customize it by adding the email to your contact application on your computer

If you look at your iCalendar and Google list of calendars, you'll see that you have a calendar titled "Holidays in the United States." Turn it off and unsubscribe in both programs. Another one of those "smart phone" cross-over, auto-subscribe things that are both bothersome and not so smart.

Hopefully, this will resolve the issue.

I fixed mine with a Combo Process of those above:

1. Go to Safari, Open your Google Account

2. Go to Google Calendar and Deselect (unsubscribe) the "Holidays in the United States" Event (Left Side)

3. Go to Mail (on Mac), Create a new Email

4. Type in the gmail address that was causing the issue, let it auto input, then Select the whole address

5. Right Click, From the options Select "Remove from Previous Recipients"

6. Type your new "Preferred" Pen Name, and it should become the new auto-input, you can add to your Mac Contacts to assure this.

*7. Make sure you do this for All your Gmail account if yo have multiple accounts

*8. You may have to restart your computer to make it preeminent

Good stuff...thanks
