Contact Birthday Date Sync Problem N9

I have a Nokia N9.
I sync calendar and contacts with my Google Account via the MfE account on my N9.
The Calendar entries work correctly.
However, the Birthday and Anniversary date entries for my contacts mis-sync by one calendar day.
For example, if a contact has a birthday on 10th November in my Google contacts, it displays as 11th November in my N9 Contacts list. Interestingly, if you 'click on' the birthday field from the Contacts entry, it will take you to the 10th November in the Calendar (that is, the correct date!).
The time zone in both Google and the phone are correct and set the same (Syd/Mel, GMT +11). The formats are the same (24hr Clock etc). There are no alarms set as reminders in either Google or the phone.
Anybody know how to make the phone sync the dates correctly? Thanks

I’ve had another look at this.
I was wrong about the birthday in the contact taking you to the most recent one; not sure what I did but it was finger trouble.
Unfortunately, it has just reiterated the original problem.
For example, there is a contact in my list with a birthdate of 3rd December, 1958.
The Birthday field in Google Contacts shows 3rd December 1958.
The Birthday field in N9 Contacts shows 4th December 1958.
When you open the Contact page to edit the individual fields and tap on the Birthday field, it takes you to December 1958 and highlights .... the 3rd!!
I clicked on the 3rd and then saved the changes to the Contact Birthday field in the N9 and it still showed the 4th.
I have had auto time update ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ and I have changed the time zone in my phone from GMT+11 in increments to GMT-4 and nothing changes in the Birthday field.
It looks like the error lies in the birthday coding.

Iphone iOS 4 Contact Birthday Date Bug.

Hello,
Every time I add a contact and add their birthday the date of the birthday automatically moves by one day.
For example, I will select someones birthday as the 23rd of march and click done but the contact birthday shows 24th. Even if I select a random date say 1st June, it will say 2nd.
When I go into the calendar app and display the birthday calendar the birthdays are right though, it will have a notification as a birthday on the 23rd.
I have done a fresh restore from a backup and as a new iphone, still I have the error.
I'm thinking that the contact list in iOS4 is set to a specific timezone different from my phones timezone as it adjusts it for a day. I live in New Zealand and my timezone settings are set to Auckland, New Zealand, even in the calendar time zone. When I change my timezone settings to somewhere in the USA it automatically changes the contacts birthdays to the correct date. When I change it back it adjusts te birthdays by a day again. This would be correct as the 23rd in USA would be the 24th here but my contacts are not in a different timezone so why does my iphone think they are? Even if a add a new contact it still changes the birthday date.
Any help would be great.

Hello,
I have the same problem, and it was the same even for previous versions of iPhone OS. I don't think it's a time zone issue, as I am living in Norway and the reports here are the same from various locations.
However, I think I might have found a workaround for this problem. Normally I have my mail, contacts and calendar synced via Exchange. When I in addition to syncing with Exchange select "Sync contacts with Outlook" in the "info" tab in iTunes on my computer, the dates appear to be transferred correctly. But then again, this gives me several contact groups on my iPhone, whilst I really only want and need one group, the Exchange contacts. Anyway, the contacts appear only once when I select the "group" all contacts on my iPhone.
Hope this can be of any help until the bug is fixed.

IOS 4 Contact Birthday Date Bug.

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3
iPad iOS decreases by one day all birthday data of my 2150 contacts after syncing with my Google account immediately.
I see this is a very old bug and you have to know about it.
My day work is nowhere and I can start again.
Don't tell me please I have to change all data manually again.
Solve this bug at last. Be so kind.
Thank you very much.
Do you have any better solution already?

Accidentally erased Contacts on iPhone: syncing problem

I accidently synced my iPhone to a new laptop with no Contacts. This erased all Contacts from iPhone. With TM, I restored Contacts to new MBPro. How do I sync so that all Contacts come to iPhone rather than iPhone erasing MBPro Contacts?

Very helpful, thank you. I am trying to get up my nerve.... When I asked it to sync just now (after saving the Archive), a box opened titled Contacts: with three columns:
Add 3 (I have 3 contacts on my iPhone)
Modify 0
Delete 889 (I have 889 contacts on MBPr)
At that point I lost my nerve....

Contact and Calendar sync problems on iPhone and iPad

Here is the deal. I have an iPhone and iPad. Everytime I sync one, then the other I get the message that the iPhone or iPad is sync'd with a different user. I am the only one on this PC and only one account. And the Contacts and Calendar are unchecked for sync every time. I have to manually check them. It is like my iPad and iPhone do not like to be sync'd to the same Apple account. I want information for contacts and calendar to be the same on both. Advice????

Synced with a different user, or with a different iTunes library?
You are syncing contacts and calendar events with which supported address book and calendar app on your computer?
The iTunes account has nothing to do with syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported address book and calendar app on your computer, but it does have something to do with syncing iTunes content.

IPod Nano 3rd Gen. Problems [Rebooting, Won't Sync Contact/Calendar Data]

I have noticed that my iPod nano will reboot itself after it has been syncing/charging. It reboots when I go to the last playlist that was playing before I began to sync/charge it. Also, it would randomly reboots when I am selection a playlist.
Then, it won't sync my contact/calendar data if it nearly full. But I can sync them when it is nearly empty.
What is causing the problem and how can I fix it?

if you have done restores then possibly it is a firmware issue... i would take it to the apple store if you can to get it looked at...

Sync problem itunes 11.1.5.5 iphone 5 Version 7.1 (11D167) Windows 7 Home premium Outlook 2010 contacts calendar

I'm no longer able to sync contacts, calendar or notes from my computer's Outlook using iTunes. For a while I was getting a message that the server could not be reached for resolving conflicts - probably got that message every sync for a month or so and just ignored it. Then I followed online instructions for dealing with that problem and renamed the file conflicts.syncconflict. The instructions suggested that this would cause creation of a new conflicts.synconflict file, which it did. But then the sync just seemed to hang on the contacts portion of syncing, even if I left it for a couple of hours. So I renamed the old file back to conflicts.synconflict.
Now sync doesn't work at all for me if I try to sync any of Outlook contacts, calendar or notes. If I disable all those, the sync works for things like apps, etc.
I have already tried:
     checking latest version of iPhone software
     in iTunes, clicking edit / preferences/ devices / reset sync history (not sure whether this button really does anything or not)
     using outlook's scanpst.exe to check for corruption of my main outlook files and most of my ancillary folders
     resetting the iPhone (pressing the button upper right and the circular button at the bottom for several seconds)
     trying the sync after rebooting the computer and not turning on Outlook in the interim
The present symptom is that the attempted sync just hangs on the syncing contacts stage, and won't complete. I can cancel the sync, but I can't complete it (unless I uncheck syncing with all the Outlook data). I'm not getting any error message.
This is what I'm using:
          iPhone 5
          iTunes version 11.1.5.5
          iPhone software Version 7.1 (11D167)
          Windows 7 Home premium
           Outlook 2010
          Asus G74SX computer
It is March 27, 2014.
Suggestions welcome. I'd like to be able to sync my contacts and calendar.

Hey Steve,
I had this problem as well and found a way how to solve this:
You need to reset your iPhone by pressing the Home button and the Power button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots.
After it rebooted I unlocked the phone, connected it to my PC and ran the iTunes sync without any problems.
Hope this helps with your issue as well.
Best

Anyone expierencing sync problems with their contacts?

i'm getting a 'sync is currently expierencing problems, it will be back later' when my contacts sync
i looked it up and i've tried every fix i came accross...more noteably the following
go to airplane mode
force stop contacts and contact storage app service
clear data for both and cache
reboot phone
still doesnt sync? the last time anything updated for me was when i bought the phone
anyone else running into this issue?

eglass80 Let's check into this error! I know the importance of having access to Sync options. Where are the contacts trying to sync to - your Google account or Verizon Backup Assistant/ Cloud? Is this happening when connected to Wifi or our Mobile Data network?

Sync problem with Google Contacts

My google contacts are not syncing since late Feb. 2014. I am now running KitKat and still contacts aren't syncing. Calendar and all other Gmail items are syncing well. Have tried hard reset, removed and reinstalled Gmail account. Turned off sync and restarted sync. Tried with pulling battery and restarting all the previous. Nothing seems to work. HELP!?!?!?!

Yes, on my desktop, my Google Contacts are perfect when viewing in my browser. Also, I have no problem exporting all my contacts to my desktop as a Google "cvs" file. However, when I sent the cvs file to my Samsung S4, the contacts app would not allow it to be imported. Apparently on the S4 the format is not acceptable.
The sync function on my S4 is working for all Google features (like Gmail and Calendar as well as all else) except for syncing contacts. I've removed the Goggle account and re-installed it. I've unchecked sync, cleared cache and data and just about anything any of the techies have proposed and then re-checked sync for contacts and I have been getting the same error message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same message since late February of this year.
I have spent in excess of 6 hours speaking with various Verizon tech support people and I have as well as with Google Android support. Google tells me that they see no problems and it's a Verizon issue. Meanwhile Verizon tells me the phone is working fine and it's a Google hiccup and I should have Google fix it. Seems nobody is taking responsibility.
I have a tough time understanding how Verizon can continue to charge me for a service which they are not providing. I'm hurt being their long time customer and they seem not to care. Quite a disappointment. My renewal is in another 11 months and I'm stuck with a defective product for which nobody is taking responsibility!

All contact birthdays are now listed as the date before

Weird problem that affects my iCal and Address Book. I've recently noticed that every single one of my contacts' birthdays are now listed as the date prior to the actual birthday (the date that was entered in the first place). Not sure when this happened, but it has been since upgrading to Snow Leopard (but I'm not really sure that it occurred because of the upgrade). Has anyone had this problem? I'd love a quick fix, one that doesn't require me manually changing every single contact's birthday. But more than that, I'd like to know why this happened in order to hopefully prevent it in the future. Thanks.

I just discovered the same thing.Had to got through and manually change every birthday. Interestingly, the change was in Addressbook, which is where iCal gets its info.

Recording birthday dates with other contact information

I would like to be able to record birthday dates along with other contract info in my phone directory and at the same time, have my calendar app. "remember" and "record" these dates so that I will automatically be reminded of upcoming birthdays without making a separate entry.
I could do that on my Blackberry but not with the Razr. Any suggestions.
Pjone3rd

I remember signing into my Google calendar from a computer and adding a calendar called contacts birthdays. Then whichever Gmail/Google contacts had birthdays and any I added afterwards were added to that calendar and synced with my phone.
Hope this helps.

Did you check your security software settings? eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Syncing Problems - Worried about losing all my data

Wife and I each have an iphone 3GS running latest version of iTunes in 10.5.8. Never had syncing problems previously. We haven't synced for a month. Tonight, I plug my wife's in and it asks to update software. I proceed and then after it tries, it says there was a problem updating software. I don't have time to problem shoot, so I sync hers and then plug mine in.
When I plug mine in, instead of recognizing my phone and all its content, it says an iphone has previously been synced with this computer and asks if I want to restore from back up or format (not the word they use, but can't remember) it as a new iphone. So, if I format it, I lose all my info and if I restore from a back up, I lose all the calendar entries I've made and applications I've purchased since the last sync which was a month ago.
Why is it not recognizing my phone as current? What can I do?
I tried resetting the phone. I don't want to do anything else that's going to make me lose all my updates from the past month. Please help!
Thanks!

If there is any data left on the phone you didn't back up on your mac, try to do a manual backup. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "Backup"
See what the backup contains here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way.
If your phone is not recognized, try to connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
