IOS7 contact birthday bug

I really enjoy the new iOS7 but discoverd a bug in the calendar app. When "birthday" is activated in the calendar app the date of the birthday of a particular person appears in the app one day before the actual event. In the contact app all birthdays are correct. In iCal on my Mac Book Pro the dates appear correct.
The only solution was so far that I changed the date, saved it and changed it back to the old one. Then it appeared in the calendar app at the right date. But as I have a lot of birthday event of a lot of people (app. 700) and rely on its correct date and I am not able anymore to verify the correct birthday of every single person. Actually it should appear in the calendar app at the right time. I use the iPhone 4s and discovered the bug after the update to iOS7 and before update to iOS7.0.2. Meanwhile I updated to iOS7.0.2 but the bug remains.
If I assign new birthday dates to contacts it fine but the problem is with the old ones already created before the update.
Is there any other solution expect of going through all single contacts and resaving the date as mentioned? Thanks.

In calendar app on the iPhone I deactivated Birthdays and activated it again. Now it seems to work again and the correct date appeares at the right date in calendar.

HT4191 I have iphone 5 and the latest iO7.1. Since upgrading to IOS7.1 birthdays added to a contact are not shown in calendar anymore. It use to show automatically before.

Click on calendars at the bottom of the screen. Make sure that birthdays are checked.
We may think we have 1 calendar, but iPhone puts things in different calendars. Sometimes we can somehow lose one. Well not really lost, but somehow it just gets de-selected. So just make sure that all that you want to see are checked.
One cool thing I like about this is that they have added US Holidays which didn't used to be there like on most paper calendars. Nice to have them available now!

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.

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)

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!

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.

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.

Exchange Contacts Birthdays 1 day off

All birhtdays synced over exchange on my Q10 are exactly one day too early. This is a very old and known problem on many mobile platforms.
My time zones are all GMT +1 on every device.
Here is a short post explaining the issue from another forum:
I just want to inform you that Microsoft identified the reason for shifted birthdays using Exchange Active Sync. According to Microsoft the mentioned problem is not caused by a server-related problem, but due to an error in a Microsoft sample code which was used in Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows Phone 7, Hotmail Outlook Connector and even in iOS. That means that the client side connection was developed incorrectly. Microsoft and Apple copied the incorrect code from time to time using the mentioned Exchange code in their software (iOS, etc).
However, Microsoft already fixed the birthday bug within the latest update of the Outlook Hotmail Connector (please check changelog) as well as in the current update of Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango).
Please fix this issue

I am also experiencing the same "Birthday Bug" issue on my Q10. The birthdays appear correct in Outlook (via Exchange) but one day early on the bb. Even when i edit the date on my phone, after a few minutes, the one-day-early phenomenon re-appears. Bloody annoying!

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.

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.

Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone?

Why are my contacts birthdays all two days out on my iPhone? They show as correct on my MacBook Pro and my iPad but not my phone. When i try and change them they revert back to being two days out.

Welcome to the Apple Community Rob.
Please try the following…
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

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

The Birthday calendar is not a feature on iCloud.com.

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
