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?

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.
Nokia?????

IPhone iOS 7 resets Mobile Data settings

Firstly I would like to apologise, I could not find any section of the forums marked "mobiles", so landline seemed the next place to go (if anybody can forward me on to the right place I would appreciate it).
My company started rolling out iPhones just previous to the iOS7 release. They are all BT but you need to enter the APN (etc) settings manually as BT uses the Vodaphone network.
When our users started to upgrade to iOS7 we found that the Mobile Data Settings reset back to the Vodaphone.
Does anybody know how to prevent this from happening?
As it's the only software update I've seen I'm not sure whether it was a one-off due to it being iOS7 or whether the future patches will not reset it as well.
Thanks a bunch,
Grant.

This is a problem with iPhones and any sub-branded network.
This isn't the only time they'll change, they randomly (seemingly) reset the details every now and then to the parent network settings. Of the 6 iPhones I've just upgraded to iOS7, 1 of them kept the settings through the upgrade!
I've spoken with BT - who are well aware of the problem, but have no solution; and I've also spoken with Apple - who know of the problem and cannot stop it from happening.
Hope you get it sorted... let me know if you do!

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.

How can I remove birthday date on my iPhone 4

How can I remove birthday date on my iPhone 4

Find the person whose birthday you want to delete in your contacts and check if their birthdate is there. If yes, simply edit the contact and delete the birthday field.

IOS6 on iPhone 4s deleted contacts and calendar dates

I updated iOS6 on my iPhone 4s and it deleted all my contacts and calendar dates.
I have a 2008 Macbook Pro running 10.5.8 Leopard and iTunes 10.6
I plugged in my phone after realizing all my contacts and dates were deleted. iTunes popped up and said that my iPhone was not compatible with it and I needed to download iTunes 10.6.3 or later.
Since I am running 10.5.8 Leopard, I can't download iTunes 10.7 (which I think is the only thing I can download currently off of Apple).
Does anyone have a solution for me on how to get my contacts and dates back?
Thanks!

Any update or response from an Apple employee/technician for this problem?
I too have had everything wiped off my phone when updating to iOS 6. Never had this problem before and was not clearly informed that the phone may get wiped (sure, there was an essay to read but, like most people, just clicked confirm). Every other update I've had has gone smoothly without a problem so presumed this would be the same.
Why was there not a clear warning stated before going ahead with the upgrade that your phone may get wiped and you will need to back it up just incase?
Not a happy customer!
NB was able to get my contacts back only via iCloud.

The time on my iphone 5C is constantly changing, regardless of me setting the correct time manually or automatically, all iOS is up to date and phone is not damaged, any ideas?

The time will stay correct for an hour or so, then jump backwards for no reason. I have tried setting the time manually and automatically and still get the same problem, and have tried with wifi on and off and it still does it. All my software is up to date and tried contacting EE who said to ask Apple. Phone is about 11 months old and have had no previous problems.

Hi jennehbear,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Your time jumping backwards an hour sounds like an issue with the time zone. Take a look at this article to troubleshoot the issue.

My iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

my iPhone was stolen. I just got a new one and am trying to backup my contacts and data from iCloud. How do you do that?

If your backup is in iCloud, and your new iPhone is already set up, go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, then go throught the setup screens on the iPhone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup and follow the prompts. (If it isn't set up yet, just choose this option when setting it up.)
Be sure your iPhone it connected to wifi and your charger while it is restoring the backup.

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 iPhone 5 starts eating cell data

after updating my iphone 5 to ios 8.0.2 iphone eat all my cell data (500m) in one day. all push notifications/background refreshing are off, i always closing apps trying not to loose battery charge. i downloaded few updates by myself, its like 100mb max. rest of the traffic iphone eats by itself. im really careful about this kind of settings and 100% sure i didnt turn on any of em. so what should i do with that lost traffic and most important - iphone gonna eats that amount of cell data every few days????????
btw no battery leaks was detected.
thank you apple

This is strange because my wife's iPhone 5c did the exact same thing. In one day it was 536MB. The other weird thing is that this happened while the iPhone was not being used. She was at work during this time and her iPhone was off and in the back room. I did call AT&T to ask them about it and they didn't know what happened either. The most they did was to put a note on the account that if we go over our data limit that they will credit it back this month. I've been checking every couple of days and it hasn't happened again. I'm glad I'm not the only one but I wish that there was an explanation.

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands. Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-co

Second day after updating to iOS 6 on my iPhone 4, my contacts have duplicated. Probably not all but many, and my contacts already numbered in the thousands.
Please tell me there is an easy fix to this problem!! I already had to go through contact-by-contact when I bought this phone and added contacts from my Blackberry and MS Outlook on the phone. Many duplicated at that time and Apple said the only fix was to go through each one and decide to keep or delete. I really don't want to do that again!

I had this problem while I had iOS 5.1.1 installed for many months. Fortunately I only have about 150 contacts and only about half of them duplicated. I found that my problem was the way thing were set up in Outlook. I removed all of the duplicates and corrected everything in Outlook contacts (ignoring the address book) and have not had the problem since, Hope this helps.

I have upgraded iphone ios 3.1 to ios 5.1 and have lost all my contacts and can not find them on my pc. Can anyone pleeeeese help me

If you are saying that you both have iCloud accounts and use the same icloud ID, then yes, the contacts will be deleted. The idea is that all devices using the same icloud ID are kept in sync. You need to use different IDs. You can keep the same iTunes ID so you can share the songs and apps. But use different icloud IDs.

Is it possible to view data backed up to iCloud (such as contacts from an old iPhone) without actually restoring the data to a device?

Can I view contacts backed up to the iCloud from my old iPhone without actually restoring the data on a new device?

If you have a backup, yes, You can restore the new device from the old backup. Without a backup, no.
Without a backup, and without the device, you no longer have any of your data to put on anything anymore.
You can redownload purchased content from the iTunes and App stores - just use the same AppleID as you did with the old device.

How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

How can I see from my contact who use iphone (ios 5) for contact with imessage?

Well, let take the personal service point of view : let say, I had two calendars on my iCloud account : one for work, one for my leisure activities.
On my MacBook Pro that I use at home as well as at my office, I would want the two calendars to show and since I am alone in my office, I would want the alerts for both my work and my leisure activities to show (and make a sound at the same time).
But on my iPad that I only use at home, I would only want my leisure activities alerts to show (and make a sound) and on my iPhone that I only use for work, I would only want my work alerts to show (and make a sound).
That is a personal service that simply does not work.
Why would Apple give us the opportunity to hide some calendars on certain devices but not allow us, on these same devices, to switch off the alerts linked to these calendars that we have chosen to hide ? Why having alerts of calendars that do not even show on these devices ?
And I am an Apple fan since 1984, since the very first Mac. I still do believe Macs and Apple devices and/or software (iOS, OS X and others...) are much better and much more efficient than " Microsoft, Windows, Google and other Android devices and software.
But that does not mean everything's perfect (and I find that quite normal).
Nevertheless, in this case, letting alerts make a sound on a device where a specific calendar is not shown, that does not make any sense : when uncheking those calendars, the alerts linked to those calendars should be automatically switch off (but alerts should be able to work on the calendars that are shown.)

Old address still showing in contact after I edit with new address. However, it shows correct address when in edit mode. Is this a new glitch on the iPhone iOS 7?

Old address still showing in contact after I edit with new address. However, it shows correct address when in edit mode. Is this a new glitch on the iPhone iOS 7?

1) Is it a video clip? Something you recognize? To be clear, it's displaying at a point in your exported movie but doesn't appear at all in the sequence?
2) What are your sequence settings? Right-click your sequence and choose "Item Properties" to verify.
