Let me get this straight... Birthdays from contacts into calendar.

Alright so from all the research I did about finding a solution to put my contact's birthday's into my calendar, Outlook is definetly required? I guess it must've slipped my mind somehow that Outlook was necessary, 'cause I never noticed it until I upgraded to WM6 and found that, with a week outside of updating to a non-outlook PC.
So is it true? That Outlook is the one who was giving me all those happy reminders of birthdays and anniversaries? Or is my neverending search for some registry key will continue for months to come?

like on pc outlook include calender, contacts and mailbox

Birthday reminder software

Hi,
I'm looking for a program to remind birthdays and syns with outlook. There are some out there but not what I'm looking for. I used to have Datemate (for Palm..) You could scan the outlook contact notes for events. I don't want to scan in my agenda. I know BirthdayBoy does this. I need a clean agenda ;-)
You would put for example the childs birthdays in the notes ans it will scan for that. Also possible to scan for weddingdates etc etct.
Hope you can help me out. I already looked at BirthdayBoy and Vbirthday but they don't offer scanning in outlook contact notes for dates...
thx!

I'm not quite sure what you're looking for, Outlook syncs the dates in your calendar, if you want reminders, you cann add them in Outlook and it will be synced. PocketBreeze and Spb Diary both have a tab for special events in the today plugin I believe.

Birthday issue 2

I have a birthday issue. When I enter my birthday of 9-1-1949 in the Outlook 2007 contacts area it adds the birthday to the calendar correctly on my desktop computer. However, when I sync my Fuze with my computer and then open the calendar on the Fuze, it has put my birthday in the wrong place. On the Fuze my birthday shows up as January 1 in the calendar area. (It is correct in the contact area.) It's crazy. All other birthdays are correct.The same issue occured when I was using Outlook 2003. I purchased Outlook 2007 hoping to solve it, but it didn't. It must be an issue with the software on the FUZE, or a bug in the sync process.
If anyone knows how to correct it, I would appreciate your help. It's a small thing I realize, but frustrating.

Try creating the date on the device. It might be a sync issue rather than an issue with one or other of the software packages.

Thanks for the suggestion l3v5y. I created my birthday in the FUZE contacts profile. It didn't insert the birthday anywhere in my calendar. Any other ideas?

Contacts and Calendar gone out of sync problem

Hi genius people of XDA world!
I use to sync my WM6.5 with Outlook 2007 through Active Sync and XP.
One day after a sync session, HTC Calendar stopped showing birthdays stored in HTC Contacts, and also Outlook 2007 Calendar has no track of them, but Contacts app still have retained all birthday informations.
How can i re-sync (Outlook and/or HTC) Calendar forcing it to track my Contacts birthdays?
I've googled and only found this link http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/commandlineswitches.htm and triedthe /cleanreminders option but did nothing...
Thank for help

[Q] Can you sync birthdays in your contacts with calendar

Hi All
My calendar is currently displaying all the birthdays from FB contacts, but i would also like it to display birthdays of contacts who aren't on FB. Can this be done and if so how?
Thanks

I add in manually the birthdays of the contacts I want. Hit edit and there should a spot for it, or at least a area for notes (put the birthday there) I've only just gotten my Sensation but on my Nexus S and Nexus One there is an entry for birthdays. Sorry if that isn't what you were looking for.

It's been my experience that if you sync with outlook & you have a birthday listed on a contact it'll sync to the calendar too.

Most of my contacts are sync from FB and the calendar displays the birthdays in FB. However i have a few contacts who don't have FB pages and i have entered their birthdays in manually in the people app. My calendar automatically displays the birthdays of my FB contacts but not the birthdays of people without FB that i have manually entered in the people app. I don't have any birthdays in my gmail and i haven't sync to my outlook as that is my work email and have no birthdays on there either. So i want the birthdays i have manually entered in the people app to display in my calendar. Can this be done automatically or do i have to enter each one manually.
Not sure if you have seen my other post, but when i enter birthdays in manually in the people app it doesn't display the correct day. For example if i manually enter 14th July 1965 and save the contact, i then displays 15th July 1965. So it's always a day ahead.

It works for me too. However, if I create the Contact on the phone with birthday included and then sync with Outlook, the contact will be created on Outlook, but w/o the birthday and will thus neither show the birthday on Outlook Calendar nor on the Phone Calendar.
Very strange.

interesting. I guess I should've stated that was when using WM, haven't tried it on Android like that. Good to know. I'll have to test this as well.
