Exchange Birthday Shifted by 1 day

I tested, seems to be ok for years 1977 and after...

However, if u test my steps for year 1976 and before, iphone got it all wrong!

Someone said that it is not iTunes problem but iPhone's.
It is NOT true.
Because the same problem occurs when syncing Outlook with MobileMe.
This has nothing to do with iPhone firmware. It is something in those many MB which we got to download for iTunes 8.0.

The do not have time to make beta testing because all resources were occupied in preparation of Steve's keynote in September.

It is the iPhone firmware! I only sync over the air and have the problem! And once again, the problem started with firmware 2.0. And they shoud do betatests! And the keynote in September is for me no reason not to solve this problem! They want to sell the iPhone as business-phone and have got such a problem in the firmeware!?

(The last line in my previous mail was a joke 😉 Yes, it is frustrating that they are not fixing it).
Let's say this way, we can not be sure that it is the fault of only firmware for iPhone (because also with the sync from PC (Outlook) to MobileMe we have the same problem with shifted dates). So - there is a problem, somewhere on Apple's side (either firmware, or iTunes, or MobileMe, or any combination of those).

It seems that Apple is not caring about existing customers and pays attention to just acquiring new ones - it might work for some time...

"You can not post a blank message. Please type your message and try again."
****, I want just delete it.

Well I think it is a total load of c**p that the iphone's built in calendar doesn't automatically pull the birthdays from the contacts, and you have to sync to a pc or mac to a calendar program and then back on to your iphone; and on top of that when you go through that process you find out that the birthdays end being all screwed up is even more pathetic; to top it all off the total lack of support is utterly pathetic

Hallo Apple folks?? Nathan?? Sleeping now??

Whats the point of rolling out a forum if no one from your staff read/cares/comments the issues???

Wake up! Make it an option, do something, stop sleeping!!!!
Whats the status of this bug now???? Is it being addressed? time to get news!!!

up!

so basically the only solutions people get in these forums are "your device is misconfigured"?

But when the bug is in apple software, then everybody shuts its mouth and keep a low profile? news on the bug fix anyone?

The silence from Apple in this forum is not really generating trust that Apple cares about there customer.

I am using a textfield to store the birthdate as workaround as textfields are synchronized correctly.

However I am getting more and more frustated about the behaviour shown by Apple. It is like a commercial for BlackBerry or Windows Mobile devices. Amazingly enough these devices are able to synchronize even birthdates.

up!

'till an official finally acknowledge the bug and give us news about it's fixing progress.

this joke last since mid July, maybe it's time to take things on a more serious level and write to some news editor.

Are you reproducing this by syncing over the air? Or tethered? If over the air, are you using a Mobile Me account or Exchange?

up! same reason

apple should not forget to solve bugs they made

vtam,

Actually, Exchange associates all events with a time zone, and there are several issues with Exchange implementations causing events to show off by an hour, or more. This can be because of time zones, or because of changes to daylight savings in a given region.

Microsoft even has a blog they list issue with time zones, and some of the steps it can take to get issues with them resolved.

For example this post mentions specifically if Time zone or Daylight Savings is off on the server (there is a minimum of about 1 cumulative patch (was about 4-5 patches before a cumulative was created), plus a data cleanup tool required to be run on each calendar on the server to apply all the changes to Exchange for the DST changes)
http://blogs.technet.com/dst2007/ (Microsoft Technet DST Blog)

These are the steps for an Exchange server admin to apply all the time zone updates, and then run the update tools:

Hope this helps,

Dear Nathan C,

this is not a problem of Exchange!!! Everything ist okay in Outlook, online and on other mobiles like my HTC Touch!

It is a problem of the iPhone and the problem started with 2.0! So pls. Apple, solve the buck! With every other device there is no problem with Exchange, only with the iPhone.

I'm trying to reproduce this so in an attempt to find a work around for anyone of you. So far, no luck.

I've tried with:
Outlook 2003 / iPhone 2.0 / No Exchange - Works
Outlook 2003 / iPhone 2.1 / No Exchange - Works
Outlook 2003 / iPhone 2.0 / Exchange - Works
Outlook 2003 / iPhone 2.1 / Exchange - Works
Outlook 2007 / iPhone 2.0 / No Exchange - Works
Outlook 2007 / iPhone 2.1 / No Exchange - Works
Outlook 2007 / iPhone 2.0 / Exchange - Works
Outlook 2007 / iPhone 2.1 / Exchange - Works

The only thing I haven't tried so far is without the updates Nathan is pointing out.

If one of you has a scenario above where it doesn't work, please tell me the exact configuration and if you're using Exchange, if you have made sure your IT department has done what Nathan C suggested.
