Cannot sync birthdays from people to calendar... Help!!
I have manually added birthdays to certain people in my Microsoft account ('@outlook.com')...
these birthdays are supposed to automatically sync to my Calendar once added to a contact...
t's been 48 hrs and the birthdays are not updating to the calendar...
I have also tried to delete the birthday calendar and add it back...
I have tried to re-edit the relevant contact to see if it will update to calendar, but that also doesn't work...
I have Nokia Windows Phone 8 and I am using the Microsoft account with the phone...
The contacts are syncing fine with the phone, but the birthday calendar can't update until this problem is resolved...
I desperately want to get all my contacts, birthdays, calendar entries synced
I have also tried to add a birthday in calendar for a contact name I already have in people this then creates a duplicate contact I then go to manage, clean up contacts this is then fine until about 24 hours later you then have duplicate birthdays
Please help!!!

Been there, done that. Several times already.
At first everything seemed okay. Facebook and Skype are no longer linked. Still, I have lost birthdays from some People contacts.
Reimporting the contacts or disabling 3rd party contacts is only a temporary solution.
Well hurrah! I've just tried deleting my birthday calendar and then re-adding and all my contacts Birthdays are now appearing.
Worth mentioning tho that I'm only linked to Skype so this may not work for people who are linked to Facebook etc!
Did any of you all try my November 24. suggestion on page 10?
I know the post is quite long, but still ... it works here. So far.
Come on Microsoft, play the game! You've suckered us all into your products, at least give us some hope that a resolution is in sight!
Same here. Totally annoying!
I have a contact which I cannot get the birthday show up in the calendar. It seems like if I add additional information to that contact and/or link it to the skype profile, the birthday of this contact in my calender disappers.
I have already tried to delete and recreate this contact again and again. First, the birthday appears, when I complete the profile, the birthday disappears from the calendar!
Please fix this. This bug is su fu** crazy....
