How to import birthdays and anniversaries into iCal using BirthdayScannerX


1) In the main screen, “What to import” -> “Change”:

Here you define whose dates are to be imported:

bsx_contactlist



2) “What should the events look like?” -> “Change”

Here you change how the events look like in iCal:

bsx_eventtitle_settings



3) “How do you wish to be alerted” -> “Change”

Define how you want to be alerted:

bsx_alarmsettings



4) Now you are almost done.

Hit “Import to iCal”. Define whether to import into a new calendar or to update an existing calendar. This is a matter of personal taste. I usually prefer to keep birthdays in a dedicated “Birthdays” calendar, apart from my dentist appointments...

bsx_import_to_ical



5) After the import, you see the events in iCal:

ical_imported


If you did import into a new calendar, you may change its name and appearance as you see fit (Calendar->”Get Info”).

You also can change the text or properties of the events. See also FAQ.
