Birthday calendar - will not display a particular birthday

Both the iPhone Calendar and the MacBook's iCal create a "Birthday" calendar, based on entries in Contacts and/or Address Book (In iCal Preferences, "show birthday calendar" must be selected).
I have an entry in my contact list with a birthdate of September 4, 1932.
I cannot get that birthday to appear on my iPhone's Birthday Calendar. It does appear on the iCal Birthday calendar and - believe it or not, it even appears on the MobileMe Birthday Calendar. It just will not appear on the iPhone's Birthday Calendar.
That is the only entry I can't see on my iPhone's Birthday Calendar. I have also tried to create fictitious contacts with that birthdate and they do not appear either.
I am requesting any other user (or users) to create a Address Book entry with the same birthdate and report whether it will display on the iPhone's Birthday Calendar after a sync.
I am using the latest Mac, iTunes and iPhone software.
Thanks in advance to any users who respond.

Hi Doug,
I have a calendar labeled "US Holidays Apple." It does accurately show the holidays on my iPhone and iCal. I am not sure about MM, since I have pretty much given up on that for awhile (too frustrating). I am not sure where i obtained the holiday calendar, but it seems more reliable, on the iPhone, than the Google linked holiday calendar I was using.
The specific birthdate cited is the only one that I can't get to sync. All the other birthdays and anniversaries appear to sync just fine (MM, iCal and iPhone). I suspect that it may be a bug, as suggested by another forum member (dates beyond certain [apple secret] date won't sync.
As an aside, regarding the thread you gave birth to, "...you are not alone), I have pretty much accepted that the iPhone is a POS phone (but a wonderful device). I suspect that is because they went with the low bidder for the radio component and WE got what they paid for. The only other alternative is that Apple designed or implemented the antennae poorly.
I live 1.72 miles from a 3G site and my dbm is typically -97 to -113 on 3G (week 41 build).
I am hoping the next iPhone will have a decent radio. I certainly will await reports from users prior to upgrading to the next version, since that is the only disappointing element of the device.
Your response was the first hint I had that 2.2 was on the near horizon. Glad to know that, though I do wish Apple would be more open about the changes offered in their updates.
Great to hear from you.

Birthday calendar will not sync to iPhone

I have birthdays entered in Address Book on my Mac. I've enable show birthday calendar. Birthday calendar appears in the side bar as a subscribed calendar. The birthdates display in iCal on my Mac. Birthday calendar appears on my list of calendars on my phone but the birthdates will not display on the calendar. I've tried allowing MobileMe to sync and I've also turned off syncing calendars with MobileMe on the phone and tried syncing directly to the Mac. The birthdays used to display on the iPhone calendar but now they will not.
Does anyone know what I need to do to get birthdays to display on the iPhone calendar.
Thanks.

With iO8.02 Calendar will not display in day mode

After updating my iPhone 6 to iOS 8.02 the calendar will not cycle to day mode. Anyone have a fix?

I'm really annoyed by this too. I can no longer get this view to activate:
Apple, I hope this view hasn't been eliminated. It's pretty fundamental to the Calendar app and would be a necessary reason to switch to a different one.

Calendar will not display events in month view?

A few days ago my calendar stopped displaying events in the Month view (where I originally entered them). I can see them in the List view, although I cannot edit them. They are also not visible in the Day view.
Moreover at the top of the screen where there would normally be a "+" button to add events and a "calendar" button to view different calendars there is nothing. Only a heading that says "All Calendars" - however I can't find anywhere in settings to view different calendars if I want. Any ideas?

Well....
If you find all the .ics files in ~/Library/Calendars/Events
And then copy them out of ~/Library
You can import them back into Calendar .... One .... At ..... A ..... Time ......
Why, Oh Why, did I ever think I wanted to try iCloud?

Outlook 2010/Exchange 2007 Calendar Will Not Display

Hi Folks,
I've been working on an issue for the past 3 weeks and would love some assistance.
Here's the problem:
A user indicated that she was using Outlook normally, flipping between the Mail and Calendar tab. When she went back to the Calendar tab, the navigation pane switched to the Calendar tab, but the main pane and ribbon were still showing Mail content.
The only way for her to display her Calendar properly is to right-click on Calendar and select "Open in New Window" - but even then if she goes to the Mail tab, she cannot go back to her Calendar again.
Please note we are running on Exchange version 8.3.327.1
Here are the fixes I've attempted:
New OST file
New Mail profile
Ran outlook.exe with the following switches: /safe /cleanrules /cleanview /resetfolders /resetnavpane
Please note: resetnavpane breaks the OST file and requires me to create a new OST file for the user
Open Mailbox on a different computer - that same issue occurs
Open Mailbox in webmail - the calendar is displayed properly
Odds n Ends: Hitting CTRL + 6, Hitting F5.
I've run out of ideas and would appreciate any ideas to resolve this problem
Thanks!
Derek

Hi Derek,
It should not be an Exchange issue. Based on my research, there is no feature in Exchange server can configure the Outlook reading pane or navigation pane performance. Since there is only one user encounter this issue and OWA can work well, please check
the following points to narrow down the issue:
1. Please configure your Outlook account in your colleague’s domain-joined computer with your colleague’s domain account to check whether the issue is caused by your Roaming Profile.
2. Configure Outlook account outside the domain by using Outlook Anywhere to check whether the issue is caused by any policy in your domain.
Thanks,

I have a station that will not display a particular java applet.

It has had 1.4, then 6.0 and when attempting to click on the applet of a calendar, a box pops up, then waits a second, then shows a red x.
So I uninstalled all Java, rebooted, and installed 5.0.12 etc.
It still does it and if you hit cancel, it puts undefined in the box where the date should belong on the form.
I turned on through the console the logging and this is what appears if I look at the calendar after looking at a working java applet off of Sun's webpage. I only cut and pasted what appeared after I typed the address into the address bar and entered through it.
(ok. starting below...)
basic: Stopping applet ...
basic: Finding information ...
basic: Releasing classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1a082e2, refcount=0
basic: Caching classloader: sun.plugin.ClassLoaderInfo@1a082e2
basic: Current classloader cache size: 1
basic: Done ...
basic: Joining applet thread ...
basic: Destroying applet ...
basic: Disposing applet ...
basic: Joined applet thread ...
basic: Unregistered modality listener
basic: Quiting applet ...
(ok thats it)

I think any version below version 1.6 doesn't have
javax.swingThat's 1.1.6, not 1.6 ;)

Calendar will not Display my events

When I tried to put my calendar events onto the icloud it got stuck "moving events"
Following the pointers in other discussions I turned the iCloud preferences for
Calendar and Reminders off.
While the error message is now gone, so are all of my appointments.
There was a "holiday" calendar left.
I tried resoring my calendars from time machine several times
going further and further back into history to before I tried joining icloud.
Now the "holiday" calendar is also gone.
Downloading the entire ~/LIbrary/Calendars from Time Machine didn't accomplish anything.
However, I do find a ton of events.
In ~/Library/Calendars/<name>calendar/Events
There are a ton of .ics files. Looking at them in the Finder shows an icon with the name of the event.
I still have the iCloud Calendar and Reminders Preferences turned off
How do I get Calendar to read these files?

Well....
If you find all the .ics files in ~/Library/Calendars/Events
And then copy them out of ~/Library
You can import them back into Calendar .... One .... At ..... A ..... Time ......

Firefox will not display Yahoo Calendar.

Firefox will not display Yahoo Calendar (I have tried on four separate computers).
When I use Internet Explorer, the Yahoo Calendar does display fine.
Do you know why Yahoo Calendar will not display in Firefox? Is there any solution?

Are you using Firefox 3.5? I am not sure whether Yahoo Toolbar still supports it.. Have you considered upgrading to Firefox 3.6.x or Firefox 5.0? :)

I wanted to know if others were having difficulties getting All Day Events appear in the Notification Center in iOS 7. Currently my Calendar in the notification center will show events that are at certain times, but they will not display All Day Events.

Error message: "The Birthdays calendar does not support events." pops up 100 times..probably as many times as I have birthdays in my contacts....very irritating...

Sounds like a different problem but:
Since these threads aren't merged, I'm posting the same in several threads.
I've had the screen blank problem, the sound and copmputer were still on. I took the IMac in twice, got home, still not fixed.
But they used their own keyboard in the shop and couldn't reproduce the problem. I switched keyboards and so far so good. It's been 3 days now.
I'll keep folks updated. Don't get a new graphics card before you try a new keyboard.
Be sure to take the batteries out of your keyboard when testing another one as the board does not turn off if it is like mine.

IPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones

Problem: iPhone 4S Calendar will not synch to OutLook 2010 from 1 of 2 phones. Contacts synch fine. Was no problem in the past until...
Sorry for the length. Trying to give all info I can.
Summary: Had to get motherboard fixed under factory warranty which included new hard drive, and reinstall everything on an HP DV7 laptop. So this is a clean installation of everything on the laptop (Win7). Configuring iTunes and Outlook 2010 for two iPhone 4S users (myself and wife) was my last step. Re-established each user account to iTunes. Calendar synch problem popped up on one of two iPhones that did not exist before.
Prior history: all synchs worked great prior to the clean install and I never had a problem.
Config: Windows 7, two iPhone 4S, Week Calendar apps on both. All software up-to-date on iPhones and Win7 (fanatic about that). Had OL2010 PST datafile backups and simply used them for the OL re-installs. OL2010 makes that easy. Each user has their own Win7 login to keep our stuff separate. Of course, OL has Calendar as part of its install.
Week Calendar apps on both are configured with same calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Verified each iPhone Calendars app, Calendar button: From My PC listing has all these checked: All From My PC, Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work; Other: Birthdays.
Difference: In using iTunes to synch, iTunes said the iPhone account was different from the OL account and asked to merge or replace. Apparently this is normal for iTunes on a new install (since basically it is) synching to prior synched stuff.
iTunes settings for both: Connect iPhone for each user and checked INFO settings for Contacts and Calendars.I used “selected calendars” and verified. Each user has all four calendars checked.
NOTE: Prior to each users first synch below, neither user had anything in OL2010 Calendar. Can't blame on recurring events problems in OL. ALL the events are on the iPhones and are being synched TO the PC to populate OL2010 Calendars.
Additional Note: Contacts was already loaded into OL from my backups so synching has no problem.
User 1 iPhone: Success 1st try.
In iTunes, selected “merge info” instead of replace.
Results: User 1 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 including the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). 4 calendars showed up. No problems at all. Wonderful! expected behavoir.
User 2 iPhone: Still failing to synch.
In iTunes, selected “replace” instead of merge info. Apple’s dialog is incredibly confusing and non-explicit on what copies to what and what it does.
Results: User 2 synched fine from iTunes to OL2010 for Contacts. DID NOT synch the 4 Calendars (Calendar, Home, My Birthdays, Work). Only calendar that shows up in OL is Calendar and it doesn’t contain any data. iTunes has no errors and the synch status bar indicates everything went fine.
Tried: I deleted the PST files and copied the backup files back to OL to start over. ITUNES no longer gives me the merge info versus replace option. I’ve synched multiple times but the calendar data will not synch.
Not Tried: Creating the same remaining named calendars (Home, My Birthdays, Work) in OL and trying again.
ALL suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Ok, new info. This gets better and better.
In OL2010, the Calendar in the navigation pane had no arrow indicating it had subcalendars within it. I right clicked on Calendar and chose New Calendar. It gave me a list of the existing calendars that were missing !!
When I cancelled, there was an expand arrow next to Calendar in the Navigation pane !!!!!
Expanding it showed the unchecked missing calendars. I checked them and synched again.
WRONG THING TO DO! ALL my wife's calendar entries in her iPhone since the laptop went down 3 weeks ago DISAPPEARED. No warnings, nothing at any step of this process. The OL files overwrote the iPhone data.
I can't find any way to get them back as this **** iStuff relies on iTunes for everything.
Is there any way to get her files back from before this synch?
Is there no way to save data files off the iPhone w/o iTunes?
Why doesn't iTunes let you control the direction of data transfer?
I now have one very ****** off wife.

My Outlook 2003 contacts and my calendar will not sync in either direction.

After updating my iPhone & iTunes software to the latest version my phone will only sync my Outlook 2003 contacts from the phone to my computer and my calendar will not sync in either direction. Can anyone help? It was all working perfectly before the update!

Unchecking the birthdays option definitely knocked something loose - but iTunes still had old stuff listed.
I had good results with removing everything from the ~/Library/Calendars folder and emptying the trash (with iTunes & iCal) both exited. I started iCal and it was back to the default - as if I had never used it - but then for reasons I'm not totally sure of, everything showed back up. My subscriptions all reappeared and I had calendars of the same name as my subscriptions appear in the regular section. I deleted all those and then quit & restarted iCal. When I started iTunes, everything was perfect - now everything appears normally and everything syncs.
As always, YMMV.
Good luck!

IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.
