I set up my birthday calendar through my address book.  It is under subscriptions on ICAL and won't let me set alarms.  How can I move it to a regular calendar?  It won't drag.
Thanks,

Yea. That is a drag. I gave up on iCal’s birthday calendar. The nice thing is that it pulled the dates from my address book. The bad thing was I couldn’t do much with that. You may be better off creating a calendar manually called birthday’s and adding each birthday in manually then applying an alarm to each event. You could also try exporting the one birtday calendar then reimporting that calendar. You’ll be prompted with a question asking what calendar you’d like to add the events into. Choose the new birthday calendar and those events should go in. I have not tried this myself so it may not work. If it doesn’t here are a few other ideas:

Apple - Support - Discussions - iCal birthday alarm ...

Download iCalBirthdays for Mac - Create a birthday calendar in iCal from contacts in Address Book. MacUpdate Mac Personal Info Managers Software Downloads

iCal birthday reminders [Archive] - Mac Forums

PS: BACKUP ICAL BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. Under File menu, choose backup.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you with positive feedback but my daughter graduated and I have had out of town guests.  Exporting and then importing my birthday calender worked!  I was then able to set the alarms.  Hopefully I will not forget anymore birthdays.
Thanks so much,
