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,
Thank you for getting back to us.
I'm sorry to hear that your contact's birthday still doesn't appear on your calendar. Please provide us your email address, the name of contact on your People page and screenshot of calendar not showing the birthday.
