iPhone Calendar Problem

Post by Gutter Dreams »

It's driving me insane.
On the calendar there's two birthdays that are marked in, even though I never put them there so idk how they got there. But the thing is they won't go away, even if I delete them, it just disappears. And then there's future events like, it carries on until 2014 and after. I've clicked "Delete All Future Events" and set all the (just the two) birthdays on my phone so that they never repeat. I don't understand why they won't go away :suicide:
Also someone remind me how to back up my iPhone again...

Is it by any chance a Facebook sync?

Ok, I'm pretty sure the birthdays are coming from my Hotmail Calendar. I deleted the birthdays from there and the ones for this year are gone, but the ones in the future... aren't? Even though they're not showing up on the hotmail calendar.

if you go to settings -> mail, contacts -> your hotmail account, is there "calendar" enabled ? If it's enabled I'd suggest you to turn it off.

The events ended up going away, so now I know if anything else comes up this is were it came from - thanks :happy:

I've been having this same problem... I get around three alerts every day telling me it's so-and-so's birthday because all my Facebook friends' birthdays are coming in from my Hotmail calendar. I just disabled Hotmail calendars and it deleted all my calendar info; not just the birthdays! :suicide:

If you re-enable it do the calendar info come back ?

Yeah. I recently started using my hotmail account again... Set it up on my phone and I gained like 400 contacts, for everyone I've emailed in the last 12 years on that account, a bunch of calendar events all sorts of shit... I was like... wtf?! xD
