Hello all!

I think this is old news but I was just wondering if anyone out there
had a solution to the problem where iCal birthday calendar doesn't
sync across to the iPhone properly even using Spanning Sync. A few
birthdays do show up but I am suspicious they may be old recurring
events from my pre-Apple days. Wondering whether this is something
that SS thinks about? May be inappropriate expectation.

Hi just use dates2ical http://www.nhoj.co.uk/datestoical/
this great little app will display all your birthdays in your main
calendar which will obviously sync to your iPhone

Hi,

This is not really a Spanning Sync issue, and there's definitely no
need to install additional software to handle this issue.

What you need to do is to fill in people's birthdays in your Address
Book (if you don't already have it), and then let Apple's Syncing
Service to the rest. First, check that the birthday calendar is
visible in iCal (if not, go to the properties menu and activate it.
I'm not in front of my mac right now, but I think there's an option
like that). Then go to iTunes (with your iPhone docked) and verify
that the birthday calendar is checked for syncronization.

How this helps!
