IPhone 3G using iOS4.2.1 won't show Contact's anniversaries in Calendar

iPhone 3G using iOS4.2.1 and it won't show a Contact's anniversary in my Calendar. Both are iPhone apps. I just go in to "Contacts" - choose someone - "Edit" - "add field" - "Date" - "anniversary" then choose the date and "Done". But when I go to Calendar it is NOT shown on the bottom with birthday events when I highlight that day on my month view.

jfallen,
Anniversaries and birthdays are entered differently in Contacts. Birthdays that are transferred over from Contacts are those that you have specifically entered using the Card>Add Field>Birthday in Contacts. If you used Card>Add Field>Dates to enter your anniversaries, dates entered that way are not transfered over to iCal. Only the "birthday" entries are picked up.
Although to you a birthday is an anniversary of one's birth, it must be entered using Contacts' birthday field in order for iCal to "see it" and transfer the date. Hope that helps.

  • Phone won't show contact name in recents list

    Phone won't show contact name while somebody call me, the same is in recent list under number is unknown. I already reset my phone and try to make new contact when somebody called me and it isn't work. 

    you have entered the number in the wrong format. There should be no zeros.  IF you were entering my number then that would be +617 XXXX XXXX with the + being the international dial out code and 61 being the country code  7 the area code without leading zeros and rest being my number.
    If someone wanted to call me from insider the country but from another state they would dial 07 XXXX XXXX but the international dialing format would still work.  Note that the 0 in the area code is not used in the international dialing format

  • Event Entered in Calendar on my Laptop Won't Show Up on my Phone Calendar

    I use Calendar every day and enter events both on my phone and on my laptop.  I never have a problem with the calendars syncing up, but out of the blue I have a couple of events which I entered on my calendar on my laptop and they just won't show up on my phone calendar.  It's weird.  Everything else syncs up.  Has anyone heard of this being a bug?  It's disturbing to think I can enter an event on my calendar on my laptop and assume it will show up on my phone and it doesn't.  I must be the only one with this bug because I've googled it and have found nothing. Any thoughts would be appreciated.  Thanks.

  • Address won't show up when creating a calendar event

    I created an event like "Lunch". As location I started typing the friend's name, as her address is stored in Contacts on my iPhone (and synced over iCloud). The friend's address, though, won't show up. Besides, a friend's address, whose first name is the same, was shown.
    This means that just the address that I'm looking for is not shown, but some others do show up! It doesn't make any sense to me.
    Any hint? Is it kinda bug (for what??) or what else?

  • IPhone no longer recognized by PC, won't show up in itunes

    I've had my iPhone for months and it always worked and synced perfectly with my HP computer running XP. Last night out of the blue when I plugged it into the usb 2.0 port I always use, it stopped recognizing it. It gives me a message that there's an unknown device and shortly after that the device has malfunctioned. I know the iPhone is fine because when I plug it into my notebook it recognizes it and tries to sync right away. I tried different ports, shut down and restarted the computer a half dozen times, reinstalled itunes 8.0.1.11, gone into the device manager and removed the unknown device and tried again but nothing works. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    are you using a usb hub ?
    i had similar problem but then relized my usb 2.0 hub was acting up (belkin 4 port) when my printer wouldnt work
    had to unplug power and disconnected from computer and let it rest
    so far so good
    hope this helps

  • Iphone 5 - "use cellular data for" option only shows Facetime and Passbook

    I have an iphone 5 and I am trying to manage my cellular data usage,
    When I go into Settings - Cellular and I look at the "use cellular data for" option, there are only 2 apps on the list Facetime and Passbook.
    I have seen other posts online that show a long list of apps that you can toggle Cellular data on and off.
    How can I see a longer list of apps.

    In Settings/General/Restrictions if you tap on Cellular Data Use there should be 2 options: Allow Changes or Don't Allow Changes. If you don't see these options is that where you see "Cellular data is turned off for 'Setting'?
    Do you have a corporate MS Exchange email account on your phone? If so your administrator may have added an override on this setting.

  • TS4429 I have iphone 5 using 3g sim card but it showing no service

    My I phone 5 is suddenly started showing no service. I have tried reset networkin setting. but it not working

    personally I tried everything... soft and hard reset, factory reset, resetting net settings, different simcard. the result is always the same. and it happened just out of the blue, with no reason at all. the iphone didnt fall recently or anything. it just stopped receiving. btw, it was always very slow in getting signal. this is becoming very very annoying for a very expensive device, this quality aspects should never go unnoticed.

    When I try to browse directly to the missing images http://www.mmaamateurleaguereporter.info/Cage%20Championships.jpg I get Page Not Found.
    Either the missing images have not been uploaded or they have been uploaded to the wrong directory on your server.
    PS: %20 in a file name is a space (as in pressing the spacebar on your keyboard). Best to avoid spaces in filenames on the web due to the different ways in which different servers handle them. Worst case, your webpage fails in whole or part. Use hyphens (-) or underscores (_) in place of spaces.

  • HT204053 I deleted my iCloud account on my iPhone to use a new Apple account and my contacts were all deleted what do I do?

    deleted my iCloud signed back in hoping to recover all of my contacts only got a few back where are the rest?

    Try going to icloud.com and signing into the old account you deleted on your phone.  See if your contacts are still there; if they aren't and you haven't backed them up anywhere else then their gone.  If they are, back them up to a combo vCard as discussed in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 and save it on your computer.  Next, email the file you saved to yourself and open in on your phone, then tap the attachment to re-import the contacts to your phone.

  • Photo won't show on cover of Iphoto Calendar after dragging and dropping

    Every year I create a calendar on Iphoto and I have always been able to troubleshoot everything myself.
    This time, I am stumped. The whole calendar is ready to go but for some reason, the photo I added to the cover will not show up. I am using the same photo later in the calendar without a problem. In fact, when I hover over the picture it tells me that is being used on the cover and on page 11...but I can't see it!
    The title underneath the photo will only show when I click on the text box. Once I click away from it, it will disappear.
    Anybody? Christmas is approaching fast and I need to get this into production ASAP to mail to Europe.

    Hi HeyBayLondon!
    It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

  • New Leap - Text Convos Won't Show Contact Info

    Thanks for reaching out !
    Quick question, when you restored your SMS messages, was it done using BlackBerry Link, or did you use a third party app to transfer your conversation history? If you can let me know I'll see what I can find out for you.
    Thanks! 

    Hi folks, Brand new here, hoping that someone here can help me. I just changed my z10 over to a new Leap - love it so far - with one exception. I did my own back up/restore data from my Z10 to transfer my contacts and media, settings etc.Everything seemed to transfer fine - except my SMS messages.THey show up as individual messages with no name or number, and I can't reply in those messages. A couple of my conversations transferred from the Z10 fine and have continued to work fine, but all the others are a total mess. The Leap has: Blackberry 10 OS 10.3.2.2168 I have checked the settings multiple times to ensure it will show as showing in conversation and not individual messages, double checked encryption or random blocked information, I have tried retstarting, tried everything I can think of. Hoping there is just some easy thing I am missing here.
     Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
