Syncing contact Birthdays with iCal on the iPhone

Posted in WGN Radio Show Notes, iCal, iPhone, iTunes | by chris - January 14th, 2008

Eddie asked “is there a way to sync the birthdays in my iPhone contacts with the calendar?”

You have to go to iCal prefs and select show birthday calendars and then resync the iPhone. Then in iTunes, you’ll have the Birthdays calendar available to check off. Resync and you’re in business. Screen shots included below.

1. Check off show birthdays calendar under ical>preferences.

2. Sync Your iPhone.

3. You will now have a Birthdays calendar to choose in iTunes under info.

4. Now just sync the phone again and you are all set.

    I can’t seem to get Birthdays to show with the new 3G phone. Is it possible anymore?

    I found that it doesn’t work with “all calendars” selected. Choose Birthdays from the selected calendars list.
