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!!!

    Hi 7simonchapman,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community!

    We would like to apologize for not replying in a timely manner. I understand that you are having difficulty in using your Outlook.com Calendar in syncing with your account, let me help you

    Please be informed that you need to access your Outlook.com Calendar options by clicking on the gear icon and choose "options" , then choose your "Birthday  calendar". Look for the word "Refresh now" and kindly click it. Once you have clicked that option it will sync all of your contacts from your People page.

    I hope this will help with your concern and let us know the result.

    Thank you,

    Hi I have done as above but no birthdays have been transferred from people to calendar even after waiting 48 hours , I also noticed that it said it had synced half hour before anyway .

    I hope you can help further

    many thanks
