Birthday calendar for Exchange contacts

Hi,
is the automatically created birthday calendar in iCal only capable of displaying the birthdays of local contacts or what can I do to include the birthdays of my Exchange contacts as well?
Thank you in advance!

This behavior has been reported recently here, and yet no solution is provided by Apple.

I have two birthday reminders for single contacts?

Firstly, I apologise if this has been asked elsewhere but it was proving difficult to search through all the other threads.
Ok so for some reason i've got two different birthday reminders for some contacts. I'm using Windows Live Mail and I synced all my contacts from there onto my ipod and the birthdays have carried over (I think, not sure if all of them but hey). I am sure that I did manually put the birthdays in for a couple of contacts a while before I synced all the contacts from WLM so that could be the reason for some, but there are definitely others which I couldn't have done - reason being I don't know the date of their birthday. One has a red dot next to it, the other is a picture of a present/gift.
Here's a screenshot:
Now if possible, I would prefer to have them all just as the one with the present next to it... so anyone know what's going on here?
Also, some of them show up with the nickname instead of the full name (I fixed them all before I synced). I double-checked in WLM and in the contacts folder in my document and this guy had an empty box for 'nickname' on both accounts.... yet it still shows up as his nickname
So anyone know how to fix this? I'm a bit of an OCD freak so it's driving me insane haha
Thanks

Not to worry. When you imported your calendars from Windows Live, it synced the birthdays you had there. Since you also entered the birthdays for some of the same people on their contact information as well, it shows up twice because it automatically pushed the birthday to the calendar. You have to choose between Windows Live calendars or your device's conatcts. Essentially speaking, it would the best decision to choose the one that has the most birthdays already entered. I'll give you both scenarios, however:
If you want to get rid of the Windows Live birthday:
-Tap the event that has the dot next to it
-Edit the event
-Delete the event (and all recurring events)
**I believe this will also delete the event across all other devices that have the Windows Live account synced
If you want to get rid of the contact's birthday that you entered manually:
-Go into your Contacts on your iOS device
-Go to the contact that has the birthday that is repeated (for example, the pictures that you included: "Calum Leask.")
-Edit the contact
-Remove the birthday from the contact
I hope I was of help

Why is it when I enter a birthday date for a contact as the 12th of November 1993 that the birthday appears as the 11th of November and as the 19th birthday rather than the correct 20th?

Yoor post is very confusing. AOL's iPad magazine is called "Editions" and it's free. "The Daily" is put out by TheDailyHolding and is owned by Rupert Murdoch. You've already posted in another thread where the solution was given. Other people seem to have manged to get unsubscribed.
Best of luck.

Birthday calendar for only some of my contacts are showing up twice in my iPhone. They are not showing up twice tho on my iMac. No, I do not have duplicate names in my address book either. Any idea how to fix that?

I have uploaded the InDesign file so that you can take a closer look at:
http://www.hsdesign.comuf.com/downloads/
The file is called "Template_File.indd"
So, as discussed the main issues are:
1) The TOC doesn't generate all the listings (only those with the applied paragraph style "Heading 1 - Appendix")
2) When I try to create a new pargraph style and apply it to existing or new text, it reads the pargraph style in the Paragraph Style menu, but the style doesn't actually apply.
Hopefully you can figure something out from this. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks!

HT4968 How to Create Birthday Calendars using different contact groups.

I am trying to create photo calendars as a gift including birthdays using either iCloud or iPhoto 11. However each calendar is different - do not want all birthdays on all calendars. I've tried creating separate contact groups but it seems they all appear no matter what. Isn't there a way to create a master birthday list and assign each person to the calendars that I want the birthday to appear on?
I am using Mac OS X 10.8.5 and have Adobe Creative Cloud, iPhoto, etc.

Hi Chirag,
I've read the following link, but the question is....
- Where is the link to create transport groups? That is my only question It's as easy as that
Found it...sorry I knew it was easy

Editing events in calendar for exchange

I currently use Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 at the office. My office manager will add events to my schedule, and they will appear on my iphone with Accept/Decline options. However, after I accept these, I need to be able to edit them. Is this a possibility?
Thanks for you help!

A couple of questions come up...does the manager login as you or do they "proxy" in to your calendar? I found that my device ( iPhone 4, VZW) will allow me to edit appointments I created, logged in as myself, on my PC using the Outlook client. I do OTA and not USB sync..along another line of thought, we've had to tell our users NOT to edit appointments( if they must do so at all) from their IOS device, but only from Outlook, to avoid calendar consistency issues. My concern would be that other attendees wouldn't get notified of the changed appointment.

How do I add my friends birthdays to the pre installed "birthdays" calendar on my iPad 2

I have added birthdays to the default calendar but there is a birthdays one and I want to put my friends birthdays on that calendar but it won't let me. When I look under calendars there is a calendar called birthdays under other but I can't use it.

That calendar uses birthdays entered for your contacts. My contacts come from my Mac's Address Book and if I delete a contact's birthdate in my Address Book, it is also deleted from my iPad's Calendar.

Will Mail For Exchange sync calendar and contacts ...

Dear fellow Nokia Users,
I have had my E71 for 3 weeks and I am very happy with it!
I am running a small company, and I am considering moving our email from IMAP to Exchange. As I have understood things, there is an application to install to use MFE.
Will calendar and contact be synced on the phone, or is it just email?
Thanks and kind regards,
Jesper
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need a Microsoft Exchange Server for Mail for EXCHANGE to work.
For push mail to work with Exchange the MfE client uses Microsoft Exchange Activesync to connect to the server.
For IMAP - I think you'll need Nokia Messaging.
If you have an Exchange Server, then your content from your Outlook based service such as your calender contacts and tasks as well as your mail will work fine.
I rent an Exchange Service from one and one that works very well with the E71.
Shunts...
I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

Calendar app contains multiple entries for birthday calendar and Apple US Holiday's calendar.

After the most recent update, my calendar app began showing duplicate entries for all of my calendars (google, birthday and US Holidays). I deleted all of the google calendars from my phone and then added each calendar back to the phone one at a time. After doing this, there were no more duplicate entries for the google calendars. However, I have been unable to fix the duplicate entries for the Apple birthday calendar or the Apple US Holidays subscribed calendar. I tried restoring the iPhone, but that didn't work. I then tried to delete the birth date from various phone contacts, but even though I had removed the contact's birthday, the duplicate birthday entries on the calendar remained. I tried changing the contacts' birth date (i.e. altering the month or year), but that didn't update on the calendar either. I'm using an iPhone 5, ios 7.1.1. I do not sync any calendars with iCloud and when I show the birthdays calendar in iCloud, there are not any duplicate entries. Any suggestions?

Literally, no. You will not find a single identical application for all. Apps that are written for the iPhone and iPad have optimizations specific to those platforms, while computer programs will be at least slightly different as they will have optimized features specific to them.
You could look throught the APp store for something you like for the iOS devices, then check the developer's site to see if they also make something equivalent or near so for desktop and laptop computers.
The best you can find is separate applications (albeit maybe from one developer and designed to work as companion apps) that share data seemlessly somehow, but none will be without glitches at times - just the nature of anything that tries to syncronize multiple devices frequently over the internet.
I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad, Calendar in OS X, and Outlook at work. I do not use iCloud to sync calendars, but use separate Google Calendars for personal, and work calendars, linked through my google accounts to those programs on all my devices. Its worked pretty well for the past 3 or 4 years for me. However, I do use google sync for the Outlook calendar, and you cannot get that any longer (google killed it off, but keeps it working for legacy users).
That's just my setup, but no single app or program exists that I could use for all that (or even just for the Apple machine's alone).

Calendar sync problem with Mail for Exchange

I have troubles syncing my calendar with Mail for Exchange.
I've configured MfE the same way I did on my N8-00 and it worked perfectly there. On my new N9 it just syncs Mail and the ToDo list of from the Exchange Server. Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?
Also, when I remove my MfE settings, the Calendars still are in the Calendar App. How can I delete them?

Hi,
There could be some problem with the contact sync, because you had synched with MFE . Remove the existing sync for Mail for exchange and then try creating a new sync and then check, That should maybe solve the issue.
I had mfe configured and then removed and now then i sync with the Address book and Ical. Seems to be working fine for me, just that i use a N95.
Hopefully it fixes, let me know the outcome.
Cheers
Sandy

Default reminders for exchange calendar

Hi,
I am using exchange to sync my google (google apps) calendar. In google calendar I have set default reminder time (10 minutes). On my iPhone, these default reminders are not shown.
I also tried to use default reminder time for calendar in iPhone (settings -> mail, contacts, calendar ->Default alert times) but these are not added to calendar synced using exchange.
To be sure I added my google account twice (as an exchange account and as a regular google account).
For regular caldav account default reminders works fine. These set in google calendar are always added + iphon adds reminders from settings.
For exchange I can see only alerts that were added manually, when new event was created, they are synced between iPhone and gcal - but default reminders doesn't work at all.

Hi ,
I don't think there is configuration setting.
You may try with a user exit . Consult your ABAP team for the requirement.

E72 Mail for Exchange calendar sync

I have problems with repeating calendar events.
Example:
I create event 1.6.2011, repeating every week for one year. I have set in phone to remove calendar events older than 3 week.
After 3 week from 1.6.2011 all events from that repeating meeting are deleted from phone, including events which are in future.
Does anyone has similar experiences?

Latest version for Nokia E72 is 83.003 or at least 071.004 depending on your region.
I suggest you update your phone since the version you are using have issues with Exchange 2010 server and does not support it properly
. version 071.004 and above have support for Exchange 2010
If you cant get this version I recommend that you contact a Nokia Care point and ask them to update your phone software

Separate business and personal contacts/calendar on Exchange enabled phone?

I'm a new iPhone user (3gsi) with Exchange support enabled. What I would like to do is manage my business and personal contacts and calendar separately with work items syncing with Exchange and personal items with something else (like Google Calendar/Contacts). Is it possible to separate this way and possibly even manage it all together using the existing calendar and contact apps? I am not interested in the MobileMe service.
Example - I add a personal contact and I dont want it to sync with Exchange, but Google contacts would be nice. Or I add a calendar item that I want to sync with Google calendar instead of Exchange.
Thx!

With an Exchange account syncing business contacts and calendar events over the air, you can also sync personal contacts and calender events direct with a supported application on your computer via the iTunes sync process. You can view business and personal contacts and calendar events combined or separately on the iPhone.
With Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007. With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book and iCal.
Or you can sync personal contacts and calendar events over the air with a MobileMe account while doing the same for business contacts and calendar events with an Exchange account.
You can access a Gmail account as an Exchange account via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client, which provides for syncing personal contacts and calendar events over the air, but you can't access two Exchange accounts via ActiveSync with the iPhone's Mail client. This is not supported with ActiveSync with a Windows Mobile device either.

Remove age from birthday notification: I don't know the years most of my contacts were born, so I keep getting a default year 2000 birthdate. How can I turn off the age (xxth birthday) in Birthday Calendar - it really is very annoying!

Where do you see the default birthday showing as Nov. 30? If you can explain that, I can probably modify the below script to do that clean up.
In response to the original problem:
I'm not sure why I missed the original reply, but here is an Applescript that will change all the years of any selected contacts to 1604 (default for no year).
tell application "Contacts"
          set thePeople to selection
          repeat with aPerson in thePeople
                    set theDate to birth date of aPerson
                    if theDate is not missing value then
                              set the year of theDate to 1604
                              set birth date of aPerson to theDate
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
copy and paste it into a new Applescript Editor document. Select all the contacts you want to change (in Contacts), then run this script by clicking on the green Run button in Applescript Editor.
