Address Book-iCal syncing?

Is it possible to sync iCal and Address book, so, all the birthdays of the people in the address book appear on iCal?

Thanks.

Not as far as I know, but it would be a nice enhancement. Why don't you go to Apple's Feedback page and make that suggestion. It is probably too late for that to get into 10.4, but it might show up in 10.5.

Yeah, I think I will. The birthday field isn't default but it can be added, it'd be cool if it had a code to enter the birthdays into iCal. It could go the other way, too. If you leave an event, and select a name from a drop down box (the names being those in your Address book) it will show it on their card when you view the address book.

add birthdays to iCal 1.5.5

iCal is supposed to pick up birthdays from adress book and then add it, at least it used to do it for me with iCal 1.5, adress book 3.1. and x.3.9

I realised recently that with iCal 1.5.5 adress book 3.1.2 it was not the case any longer but found this freeware that did the job except it doesn't take into account year of birth.

Still a time saver
