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.

  • Calendar will not sync from iphone to ical since 10.5.2 update

    My iphone has worked perfectly since I bought it last summer & I have been raving about it!
    I updated to 10.5.2 and now I am having a syncing problem.
    If I put an appointment in the iphone it will not sync to ical, but it does sync from ical to the iphone.
    This is all new since 10.5.2.
    Are there some simple steps to follow to resolve this issue?

    1. got the back up done. After I answer your couple of quesitons, i will do the reset.
    2. I am responding to you using my .mac account, which, as you know, is IMAP.
    3. In addition, I do have a POP ( Yahoo) account that I use a great deal. I use the Mac Mail application to grab the Yahoo e mails for me, as I thought that would be the easiest set up. ( Just launch Mail and every e mail is available for viewing). I suspect you are going to advise me to take the steps to turn my POP Yahoo into an IMAP Yahoo???.
    4. So I think I may have answered you question about accessing this account with an email client, right? I am using Mail.
    5. Thanks for the thought on the incoming e mail server. Good to know.
    6. My Mac account settings for removing messages from the server when downloaded by the email client ( Mail?) are: (1) for the Yahoo - I looked under Accounts/Advanced. And, if that is the right place, hopefully, I have set it to remove copy from server after retrieving a message after 1 month. ( just being careful). (2) I do not see choices for my .mac IMAP account, except under Trash, and for that I have also chosen 1 month before permanently removing.
    How'd I do?? I want to answer your questions as specifically and succinctly as possible. Your assistance is much appreciated.

  • Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.

    Events entered on my iPhone 5 (7.1.1) calendar will not sync on my Mac 10.8.5. However events entered on the Mac will sync to my iPhone.

    Thanks for the input. Did ensure both were set the same. They weren't. Synced settings, restarted iCal and iPhone. Still only syncing in one direction. Any other suggestions? Thanks again.

  • Avoid installing iTunes 11 if you are a Windows user. Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    After installing iTunes 11.0, Outlook Calendars, etc will not sync with iPhone or iPad. Anyone have a fix?

    I'm also seeing weird sync issues since upgrading to iOS 7.  The sync issues started when I first upgraded to iOS 7 so I suspect that iOS 7 is to blame and the other system differences aren't an issue (i.e. I also upgraded to Windows 8.1 but it never worked properly when I was on Windows 8).  For me, the only way to "sync" all the smart playlists and music is to restore from backup and then the first sync seems to work.  However, I haven't tried that recently (I tried it a month back or so and it worked then) because it is ridiculous to have to restore your phone just to sync things!  Apple needs to fix the iOS 7 quality issues.

  • 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!

  • TS3999 I followed all of these instructions, but still iCloud Calendar will not sync to Outlook Calendar.  Calendar entries will sync from Outlook to iCloud, but not vice versa.  What do I do now?.

    When syncing Contacts or Calendars between an iPhone, iPad, or an iPod touch and Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007, or Outlook 2010, changes that you synced to your computer may not appear in Outlook even after the sync has been completed.Try this article to see if it works for you

  • My exchange calendar will not sync.

    I installed, succesfully, my exchange email and contacts, but for whatever reason, my calendar will not sync. The error that pops up says that my email address is not valid. Any ideas?

    I somehow managed to fix this myself.  I am new to Mac.  What I did was go to Settings and deleted the Exchange account then I re-added it, quit all the windows, re-started the Mac and it all worked fine. 

  • Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

    My Thunderbolt synced fine....just switched to the Razr Maxx Friday and the Calendar will not sync with my Exchange Calendar. Email and contacts are syncing fine.

    I guess I'm screwed.  My Razr HD calendar won't sync with Google - apparently all my events were on the phone calendar and not Googe calendar.  After following prior posts, I cleared the data on my phone's calendar - now my events are gone and I don't know when my next appointments are.  Any way to retrieve that data?  Any way to sync the two calendars - or to make sure the darn appointments are placed on the Google calendar and not the stupid phone calendar?
    You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

  • Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

    Hi,
    I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
    Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
    Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
    This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
    Thanks!

    I see you have posted same post in another thread.  I have already replied to that posting with a solution.  Please see the following link for my reply:

  • OS5, Calendar will not sync and back-up/restore question

    Wife downloaded iTunes 10.5 for the MBP and OS5 for the iPad yesterday. Everything seems ok with the exception of, the Calendar  will not sync to iCal. I now have 2 issues.
    I attempted to sync it twice  so I am assuming the data on the back-up is now what I could not get to iCal in the first place. The back-up now only shows the last one.
         I do not use Time Machine nor Mobile Me but do have a cloned bootable hd from the day before.  It has all of the iCal data on it, however OS5 now requires   iTunes 10.5, so it does not recognize the iPad.
    Can I go backwards to OS4 on the iPad somehow???

    going to "transfer purchases' does work - however the thermometer bar at the bottom reflecting apps, music, video, book, etc cpapcity fraks out, sliding left to right maybe 4 or 5 times during the process.  Have you ever seen this?
    After it is finished, the SYNC button is not longer darkened - so I thought it was safe to attampt an upgrade to OS05... which i am doing now... takes maybe 20 mins and then I normally get the error "the applications on this ipad cannot be verified" and the bottom thermometer bar zeros out all by my music.  The content and apps are all fine on teh ipad.  so strange.  I made an appointment with customer service tomrrow AM - but i do not think i should have to pay for this - i have never even used support before!
    I will update if it works - or re[eats the strange pattern again and does not update.
    Thanks for your time and help!

  • Palm Centro Verizon, Palm Desktop 4.1.4, Calendar WILL NOT SYNC

    as above.  I tried to install the V6.2 desktop that came with the phone; the Hotsync crashes every time it starts (some HS20Log.dll problem), so I installed 4.1.4.
    The calendar will not sync.  It hangs forever and ever.  Everything else syncs just fine.
    I brought my trusty M515 home, synced it with the home computer, then synced the Centro to get the data.  It synced ONCE (the calendar) and never again.
    I reformatted the disk and reinstalled the OS (XP SP3), got the same V6.2 hotsync problem and reverted to 4.1.4, and that's where I am now.
    Help.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Glad you got things to sync, just a quick thought.
    4.1.4 is a rather old version of Palm Desktop.  I would have suggested you try 4.1.4E, as it was designed for later devices and has some updated USB drivers in it...

  • When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled.  Then it will not sync my iPhone.  Any solution ideas?

    When I plug in my iPhone to my iMac my computer flashes a box that says my USB device is drawing too much power from my computer and claims one or more of my devices have been disabled.  Then it will not sync my iPhone 5.  Any solution ideas?

    Try unplugging any other USB devices. If you are using a hub, don't, connect the phone directly to a computer USB port.
    None of these are necessarily things you should do, but might help. For instance, if you plug the phone to an already busy hub, the phone might be "the straw that broke the camel's back" and lock out the hub.

  • ICloud Calendar will not sync

    My Microsoft Outlook keeps coming up with an error and now y iCloud Calendar will not sync
    The error that keeps coming up is
    "Outlook cannot parse the property "TRIGGER", near line 965 (etc). The property is being ignored.".
    Please help
    Thanks
    TJOYCE  

    Any suggestions? I've found that deleting the calendar and readding it will work initially, but the calendar will eventually stop syncing and can even make Outlook unstable. I've even seen instances where the Internet Calendar Subscriptions pst has grown up to 40 GB!

  • Some new purchased songs will not sync to IPhone.  Any ideas on resolving this?

    Some newly purchased songs will not sync to Iphone.  Any ideas to resolve this issue?

    Similar issue:
    I purchased several complete albums from the iTunes store on my laptop. Everything syncs fine with my iPhone except for two tracks from two seperate albums. I get the same error for both tracks: "iTunes could not copy ..... to the iPhone because the file could not be converted."
    From what I can tell both tracks are the same format as the other tracks on those albums - m4a (purchased AAC audio file) and wouldn't need converting (except that I have "convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC" checked... but the other tracks convert just fine). Files play just fine on the laptop.
    I checked that everything was purchased with the same user accounts. Not sure what to try next... any ideas?
    In case it of any use here are the tracks:
    Being Single Again (track 2 from Louis C.K.'s album Hilarious)
    Letters to Magazines (track 15 from Paul F. Tompkins' album Impersonal)
    Maybe the tracks are just so funny that the iPhone is cracking up too much to transfer them over.

  • IPhone calendar will not sync with iCal on Mac

    Calendar entries on my iPhone 4S/iOS 5.1 will not sync with iCal on my MacBook Pro 2.4/10.6.8, but it will the other way around. I have tried:
    Restarting iPhone
    Re-setting sync services (holding down Option key and clicking on Sync icon in menu bar)
    Changing which calendar to sync with (iTunes 10.6.1)
    This may have something to do with having to do a complete Time Machine backup after a Volume Optimisation with Tech Tool Pro rendered my startup disk as un-bootable....???
    I do not use Mobile Me or iCloud (can't with Snow Leopard...) and it is a straight USB connection.
    I consider myself a medium expert, with no programming/Terminal skills whatsoever.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks. There is another thread that shares a solution that involves deleting ical Library cache files and Preference files.  I"ll see if that works.  ICloud shouldn't be a factor in my case since I don't use it and it's "off" in Preferences. I am encouraged that I don't need to use it to fix this issue based on other's experiences, but we'll see!
