Hi Gary,

did you selected “non recurrent” events?
If you upgraded to Leopard, please take a look at new YABI alpha version: http://www.devzero.it/YABI.html

YABI doesn’t show the age in my calendar on my mac. It didn’t do much of anything. I wish they had a “Help” window

I’m sorry for the incovenience caused to Rich, but I wrote that it’s still a beta everywhere, on the website, in the dmg.
Version 0.4.2 addresses that bug.
Chucky’s advice should be an habit of anyone who wants to try beta software.
Btw, thanks all for the support!!
Regards,
Ferruccio

“IT WIPED OUT ALL OF MY CALENDAR info! This is AWFUL!”

Thanks for the warning. But if you’re going to use version 0.41 software to muck around with your iCal calendar files without performing a simple backup, you really shouldn’t be complaining. Copying the Calendars folder to the desktop takes approximately 15 seconds.

Hi Tim,

another option for getting anniversaries and birthdays into iCal is my ABtoiCal applescript, which you can get from http://kortenkamps.net/tiki-index.php?page=Mac+OS+X+Software . It’s not as full-featured like YABI, but it does the job. And if you know a little bit of Applescript, you can customize it yourself.

And of course: it’s free.
