Contact birthdays in calendar?

I think this is in the right board...
Is it possible to make contacts birthdays appear within the calendar? we can currently assign contacts a "birthday" detail but there seems to be no way of viewing this outside of the contacts card itself.
Wouldnt it make sense to have them show up automatically within the calendar? or am i missing the option somewhere which will allow me to do this.
thanks for any help.

Greetings.
I have a E52 and i thought this happened due to the fact that it was a e-series. After i speak with other users of nokia mobiles i realized it's a flaw common to all nokia mobiles.
In my opinion it's a HUGE failure from nokia and an unforgiving one! Remember that "pre-historic" Sony Ericsson 's had this functionality well integrated between Contacts and Calendar.
So i ask, what is the porpuse of the Contacts have a detail for the birthdate if it cannot notify us?!
One ideia (and a simple one, i think) was to show in the home screen a "warning" for the birthdates of the contacts that had their anniversary in that day. Just like it happens now with the meetings, etc.
Or (if nokia want to do it right...) create automatically a entry in the calendar.
How did they let this pass? My god, it's an obvious functionality!
This "detail" makes me want to go back to my sony ericsson, because one of the things that made me try the e-series was the supposed integration between the various tasks i have to work with.
Sorry for writting my frustation and for bringing up this topic from the "underworld) (LOL) but it's unbelievable.
Is there some sort of contact to nokia to give them suggestions about new features that would be very useful?
Best regards.

Contact Birthdays on Calendar

My 755P had all my contact birthdays on the calendar, but the Pre does not. Is this a bug or a non-pre feature?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I manually loaded everything into my pre to just purge contacts and simply start the phone from scratch. At this point I am not synching it with anything other than google. My contacts are all on Palm profile, not on google. The onlyu reason for google is calendar so I can see my wifes calendar and viceversa. I wouldnt even know where to start with synergy.
So let me ask you, where and/or how does the birthday calendars show on teh phone. Do they show on their own color like they did on the 755p? Or do they show blue(Palm profile)

How do I disable Facebook from posting all my contacts birthdays in calendar?

Recently updated to iOS6 on my iPhone 4S. Now my calendar is filled with the birthdays of all my Facebook friends. Is there a way to disable this feature? Thanks!

The previous suggestion will work but perhaps you might want some of the birthdays in your personal contacts to show in your calendar yet you still do not want all the Facebook birthdays there.
Settings > Facebook > turn off Calendar and Contacts

Can you edit or add a custom event to contacts to show in Birthday Subscription calendar

I want to modfy Birthday subscription calendar to include custom events that appear in my Contacts. Is there a way to do this?
Or how can I create a new subscription calendar to be published in my iCloud acct pulling the custom events from Contacts?

You have some contacts with more than one birthday?
To add a custom label for a date, select Edit for an existing contact. Select Add Field. Select Date. Scroll up with the Info window above the date selection and select Other for the new date selection. Select Add Custom Label and then select this label for the new date field for the contact.
As far as linking dates with multiple contacts, the answer is no to that.

How do I transfer birthdays from my contacts to my calendar?

How do I transfer birthdays from my contacts to my calendar?

diehlin1,
That definitely should show up! Let's get that working. Has anything changed with the computer? What type of phone do you have? Can we try a different USB port on the computer or if possible a different cable?

Calendar and contact birthdays

I just noticed on my phone (nokia 6151) that contact birthdays are not shown in the agenda! They are not that useful in this way... do you confirm me this?
Tnx, Alessandro

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The Birthday calendar is not a feature on iCloud.com.

Why contacts birthdays are being showed in iCloud calendar all with the same age (11 years)??

Why contacts birthdays are being showed in iCloud calender all with the same age (11 years) ?? There is a solution to solve this problem ??
Thank-you

I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

Birthdays in calendar weekly view.....

i have a bb 9630 and my question pertains to the calendar application....
if i have 2 birthdays scheduled for the same day for 2 different people....lets say.....one synced thru facebook and the other thru my blackberry contacts and i have the calendar setting on "view all" calendars...when scrolling thru the calendar on a weekly view....the only birthday that shows up is the facebook birthday......the blackberry contact birthday is nowhere to be seen.....now if i go into "view agenda" for that particular day....both birthdays are shown. both do show on a day view and month view when i select that particular day within the month view but not in a weekly calendar view.
is that just the way it is?...or am i able to set it up to have both birthdays shown on a weekly calendar view?
thanks,
g.

Hi Denes,
Thanks for your quick reply. I have mailed you a screenshot of the corruption I am talking about. The whole page template is "application default". In the "Calendar Attributes" tab in that region, I have three options in the template combo-box: calendar, calendar alternative 1, and small calendar. None of those options have any effect on the column link display corruption. In the "Region Definition" tab. the user interface template is "reports region". I have tried a number of different templates there and none affect the corruption in the column-link display either. I'm using Theme "Modern Blue 20" and the template utilization screen off Shared Components says my calendar page is using a calendar template.
regards,
Malcolm.

Problem synchronizing contact birthday into the ca...

Hi Nokia,
I have a problem synchronizing the contact birthday into the calendar
Need help Please.
//Abdou

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.

Contact Birthday From Google doesn't show in Ipod Touch

Why the information of a contact birthday of google contacts is not transmitted to my Ipod Touch? Any suggestions?

I started to answer, and then backed away when I saw you were a Windows user. I use Mac and this may be a bit different for you. First, I assume you are syncing using iTunes.
1) I make sure I can see the Google calendars I subscribe to in my iCal program. My understanding is that the iPod touch via iTunes will sync with Outlook's calendar. Maybe with others also. So, first thing to check is if you can see the Google calendar entries in your calendar on your Windows computer. If you cannot, you must fix that first.
If you can, you need to add those to the list of calendars to sync in iTunes. You plug in your iPod touch, select the touch in iTunes, go to the Info tab, and make sure the calendars you want to sync are selected.
That should do it the next time you sync.

Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my Iphone?

Why do I have multiple "birthdays" on Calendar only on my iPhone?

It is probably related to your calendar syncing with certain services and/or apps that end up duplicating the entries. Investigate your sync settings like iCloud, facebook, etc or apps like Cobook which can sync your contacts/to facebook and gmail contacts. The birthdays for all of those would then show up in ical. If there is some kind of redundancy happening it might even resync the same info from the same place multiple times. If you can zero in on a particular service or app that might be the cause, try temporarily unsyncing it to ical/address book and see what happens.

New contact birthdays are not showing up..

I'm iOS 7.1.1, not sure when this broke, but now when I add a new contact with a birthday that birthday isn't showing up on my calendar. Other previously added contacts birthdays still show up fine, only new ones aren't showing.
I've done all the standard troubleshooting steps (killed all open apps and restarted. Made sure bday alert is set. Made sure bdays is a selected calendar. )
Help this is driving me nuts!

This seems to be occurring in IOS 7.1.2 also. A hard reboot corrects it on the device I edited/added the contact but not on any other devices. I've found that once icloud updates my contacts on my other devices, I can then force the calendar to update on them as well by doing the hard reboot on each of the devices. I hope Apple fixes this soon.

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.

Google Contact Birthdays

Currently I my 3GS iPhone is running the new iOS4 system. I've synced all of my Google contacts to my iPhone, everything seems to appear except for the birthday field in my iPhone. Is there a way to sync so that the birthdays appear in my contact list or do I have to manually enter all of my contacts birthday so that it appears in my phone + calendar?

Doesn't this happen to anyone? I tried it on my wife's phone, and it also has this bug. It happens on iOS only. Try creating an All-day event on October 19th. you'll notice that it spills over to the next day. and this bug has been around since at least iOS 6.
Here's another question: If nobody knows how to fix this, how can I file a bug report?
cheers!

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
