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!!!

    Hello everyone!

    Looks like the service has been repaired! At least in my account all birthdays are in place for already a week. Needless to say that I haven't done anything to make it work - no calendar reset etc.

    Have a look on you side.

    Hello Microsoft team,

    Would you please let us know whether something has been done with the service?

    Thanks,

    Dima

    Hi,

    looks like it works better somehow. Needed to resync some contacts. Just one Skype linked Account is not working.

    I can confirm that birthdays are dying off and going to Microsoft heaven.

    I again am losing birthdays which are recorded in my Live-People Contacts.

    I've been waiting for 6 months for this problem to get fixed.
