MacOS – excessive birthday reminder notifications

icloudmacosnotifications

My birthday reminders started appearing more frequently about a month ago. Usually they only appear once per day, but for example I have been using my laptop for the past 20 minutes and they have appeared three times. This is very annoying.

How do I prevent this from happening?

UPDATE:

As suggested by Martin, here is some more info.

  • OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion)
  • The reminders are through Notification Center (from Calendar).
  • I am connected to iCloud and have my contacts to be imported from Facebook.
  • not connected to yahoo or google.

Check your calendar enable all calendar and see if you have multiple records of birthdate. I had same issue duplication of birthdate in contacts, facebook account & gmail. And also check remiders if it is set for more than once. I think by default it should be one reminder on date.

And finally click on close not snooze :)
