Hi This does indeed help, I will then check that setting to see if it is on indeed, as this just did not seem to happen for me with events saved in that way. I will try this. Thanks very much.

There is nothing you have to do in the calendar. Just go to settings, mail contacts calendar, then swipe down to the calendar section and double tap on Default Alerts. In here, swipe until you hear All Day Events and double tap. Now you can choose when you will receive your notification for all day events including Birthdays. I have mine set for 9 AM on the day of the event. I hope this helps.

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.
