Hi Thank you for this info. Well, point is that, if I entered the birthday via the contacts and it then display on the calendar, I never did get any notification, even if it was at 9 in the morning. I will have to look if that notification setting is active or not. I can somehow get to the setting where the whoe day setting can be changed, the hours will then display, but even double tapping the relevant hour. e.g. 7 o'clock, does actually not select that hour, nor is there a way to actually save that info, as the calendar only shows the add option, meaning add for a new entry, there is no "done" or something like that. If one enters the whole entry from scratch in the calendar, one can change all those things, as, if I remember correctly, if you get to those settings, the notification seems to be off for an alert to happen, so I switch that on. All this is, as far as I could tell, not available if you get to the calendar via the contacts app. If you double tap the birthday again to edit it, you are actually back in the editing of the contact itself, with no calendar options to edit. Thanks all the same, will look at that notification in the settings for the calendar.

I just checked my Calendar to reproduce what you are experiencing but I didn't even get to the event settings. But, the problem is the 'Whole day' setting. The calendar automatically treats the event as whole day so there's no need to adjust the time, hours, place etc, etc. If you want to change those things you first need to switch the event from Whole day and I believe you'll ge the access to the settings you need. If the event is set fot he whole day it automatically gets the default Calendar notification on 9 o'clock AM which can be changed in Settings, Mail, Calendar and Contacts section.

But here is where my problems start. I should say that I might not be that proficient with the calendar, so I could be missing something. If I add this birthday and go to the calendar, I can find the event, and it would show something like: "jan Kleinhans, birthday, all day." Now, if I wanted to add a notification so that it would tell me on the day that it is the birthday, how do I do this? I can somehow get to the point where you can move the event. If I do that, I can see the hours, so I can move it to say 7 in the morning, but there seems to be no way to actually select that time, nor to switch on an alert for this event. If I start the entry on the calendar by adding a new event, I can set all of this. So, what would be the purpose thento add the birthday via the contact to the calendar if you can not set up the notification? Yes, you can go into the calendar, and go to the date to see if there are events, but that's about all, unless I am missing something very obvious here. I know one can set reminders via the reminders app, and using Siri and all of that, but at this stage that's not what I want to know, hoping that this might work in another way then? Thank you for any clarification of this matter.
