iCal not seeing new birthdays in addressbook...ideas?

[doug.hall]

Does anyone know why when I add a birthday to an existing addressbook contact it is not appearing in my birthday calendar in iCal? Is there a way I can get iCal to rebuild the birthday calendar?

Sounds really simple, but have you quite iCal and reopened it?

Also, is the Show Address Book Calendars option checked in iCal preferences?

 

[doug.hall]

Yes. Done that more than a few times.

How about new contacts? If you make a new contact, does it carry across to iCal?

Sorted. I was being an idiot. My mac is set to the american date format and hence the birthdays were added to iCal however not where I was looking for them - doh!
