Birthday calendar syncing

I just started using the new birthday calendar and I'm syncing back to my
computers with outlook connector. The first contacts I added birthdays
through was on windows live and they show up in the birthday calendar after
a while. The second batch of birthdays were added through outlook and synced
back to windows live. These haven't shown up on the birthday calendar, even
though the contacts on windows live do show the birthdays. None of the
birthday calendar dates are syncing back to my outlook, through outlook
connector. Is there anything I need to do differently?

Thanks,
Jeff

Re: Birthday calendar syncing

The Birthdays should show up on your calendar automatically after 24-36
hours. If you still have problems with this, send me an email
geoffcl@xxxxxx. We can debug your account on the server and see why
your birthdays aren't showing up correctly.

Thanks,

Re: Birthday calendar syncing

Hi Geoff,

I've also had trouble. Albeit, I haven't waited the 24-36 hours after adding
a contact to test the birthday-calendar sync, but my issue is not having
Birthdays in my WLM Calendar at all.

Do I just add this in manually, or will it not sync with my contacts if I do
that?

Muriel
