Birthdays

My birthday calendar, despite being ticked, is not showing up on my iCloud calendar. Shows up fine on my iPod version. Anyone else having this problem?

iPod touch, Windows 7

Same problem here.

I started a post about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3385021


I've got a Express Lane Case # 251818154 Support Request open with Apple, and after 4 days theyre telling me they can't track down e problem and they can't reproduce it with anyone else. Funny b/c my wife's acct is having an identical problem. PLEASE ALL: contact apple, maybe even reference my case # above, if enough people complain, maybe this issue will actually get addressed. And, btw, the birthdays did show up in e Birthdays Calendar on iCloud.com for a little bit, before disappearing.

Everything is now working correctly. After a very careful second look, I found a checkbox in the iCal configuration menu that switches birtdays on and off. The menu is accessed via the "cobwheel icon top-left). After checking this all birthdays now load correctly: there was a delay of a minute or so for iCloud to fetch the requested data.


Those with large data volumes on their iPad should note that the first backip can take many hours. In my case (with a 64GB device almost full of applications, videos & photographs) it look around 36 hours! The second backup was very quick, however, so the mechanism is evidently incremental and (by the speed pretty smartly indexed.
