It is Freeware.

BirthdayScanner X is also able to generate iCalendar files, so you can import your anniversaries to e.g. MS Outlook or Google calendar.

I don’t know how I haven’t learned about it sooner. I have wanted this ever since switching to the Mac. Works great!

The culprit seems to be older people (I noticed it for my peeps born in the 1920s). Although they show up in iCal and the MobileMe Calendar, they don’t make it to the iPhone’s calendar for some reason. Not 100% reliable, unfortunately.

Loving my apple h/w & s/w more and more.

I have found the cause of the birthday dates jumping 1 day randomly.

It happens whenever the phone syncs. It will change the date in both the iPhone profile and in windows mail contacts.

I am just a user not a coder so hopefully Apple can sort it out as all the dates I have set up in my contacts a no longer correct.

Test a couple of dates and sync with your contacts before loading too many in as it will frustrate you have to reload once apple have this bug fixed.

Over time, the dates in my synced iPhone contacts for these birthdays move out slowly a day at a time.

So, given the current set up, my wife is going to get her pressy a couple of days late. I have confirmed the dates are set correctly in windows contacts.

I have Vista using the basic Windows mail with contacts package.

Thanks i will try it, and looks for sure i will buy it with a big pleasure.

Thankx

Right click your birthdays calendar and publish the calendar to mobile me. You will get two links to your newly published calendar – use the second one. On the iPhone you can now add a calendar subscription using this link.

It should open iCal on the phone and download the calendar.

You can confirm by going to the calendars main screen. It should have two subcategories now, “Mac.com (MobileMe)” and “Subscribed”. I really needed to have US Holidays and my BIrthdays calendar on my phone and am very glad it finally works.

I can’t find the Apple support document that I found on this, but the following is helpful (though subscribing via Safari rather than clicking the link in an email)
