iBirthDay iBirthDay is a really cool app that alerts you when someone in your contacts is having a Birthday. The app open to the main menu where you can; turn on/off that iBirthDay Service, set the time you would like the alert to happen, set when you would like to be alerted(anywhere from the day of the Birthday to 10 days before the Birthday) and turn on/off the SpringBoard text. If you turn the iBirthDay Service on, you will get a pop-up on your SpringBoard letting you know who’s Birthday is coming up, how many days until their Birthday and how old they are going to be. When you are alerted is based on what you set your time and day as in the main menu. If you chose to have it alert you at 10:00am three days before a Birthday…then, you will get the alert at 10:00am…three days before the Birthday!! :) Once you have read the pop-up alert, you can just tap your screen to make it disappear. If you decide to turn on the SpringBoard text setting…after you get the pop-up, it will also put a little line of text just below your status bar on your iPhone telling you who’s Birthday it is and how old they are going to be. The only issue I have found with the SpringBoard text is that it says, “Today’s birthdays:” even though the Birthday isn’t today, it is in three days. So, that could be a little confusing. If you have turned on the SpringBoard text and decide you don’t want to look at it all day…just go back into the app and change the SpringBoard text setting to off…you will have to restart your iPhone to get it to go away. Now, to actually get this app to work, you will need to add Birthdays to your Contacts. To add a Birthday to your a contact….go to your Phone app, select Contacts, select a contact, tap Edit is the upper right corner, scroll down and tap on Add Field, scroll down and tap Birthday, enter the date of the person’s Birthday and tap Save in the upper right corner. I like this app…I think it is fun!! iBirthDay is available in the Installer.app through the ModMyApple.it(Chiafa) source. See the screenshots below:

Thanks to the viewer Kampi for the heads-up about this app!!

    What about for 1.1.1? Is there an app similar to this one that would work on 1.1.1. I installed it, but keeps turning off. Any solution?

    Could you please confirm the source because I don’t see iBirthday in the list.
    Thanks.

    @Peter – I am on 1.1.1 and it works fine for me…maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling.

    @fab – all sources are case sensitive…make sure you capitalize MMA – http://www.serverasp.net/chiafa/MMA/repo.xml

    My question was because this new version didn’t work on 1.1.1. But I found the solution. Just set permissions to 0755 to every file in:
    Library/LaunchDaemons
    /usr/local/bin/Birthday
    Works fine after that…

    Sorry, but I can’t find it on the installer..
    Could somebody confirm the source
    http://ModMyApple.it

    Thanks

  13. Brooke on January 24th, 2008 1:11 pm:

    @roc…the source url is http://www.serverasp.net/chiafa/MMA/repo.xml not http://ModMyApple.it... that is actually the source’s title.

    Note: source url’s are case sensitive so MMA will need to be capitalized.

    Hello fellas.

    Thank you!!! :)

  19. Brooke on January 27th, 2008 1:05 pm:

    @Michel…I’m not sure if the app works with 1.1.3 or not but, the source should show up in your Installer.app even if the app doesn’t work. Are you capitalizing the MMA?…all sources are case senstitive! – http://www.serverasp.net/chiafa/MMA/repo.xml

    Peter,

    How can I set the permissions like you did? I don’t known how to access the folders in the iphone.
    “My question was because this new version didn’t work on 1.1.1. But I found the solution. Just set permissions to 0755 to every file in:
    Library/LaunchDaemons

  21. Brooke on January 28th, 2008 12:30 am:

    @Gustavo…to see the files on your iPhone you need to OpenSSH in. To change permissions on a folder you would need to select all the files in the folder(ctrl+a) and then right click and select Properties and then change the Octal to 0755. As for changing the properties on the files Peter mentioned, I’m not sure…I didn’t need to do that!

    Does not work on 1.1.3 :( FIX?

    [Reply]

  24. Brooke on January 31st, 2008 2:22 pm:

    No fix yet…that I know of. This app was created before the jailbreak release for 1.1.3 so…maybe we will see one soon!

    Hi,
    when trying to install, i get a main script error message.

    [Reply]

  26. toto on February 3rd, 2008 7:33 am:

    btw, i’ve tried to set permissions as above-mentioned, it doesn’t help.
    In any case, it seems to be related to a permission issue, as i get this error message when the installer script tries to set the permission to ibirthday.

    Also, i’ve used to Bosstool util for moving all the apps (wallpapers and ringtones) to the root partition, as the system partition is too small to contain the apps…
    I guess all these are reated to this issue.

    Any suggestion please?
    tnx.

    i’ve just installed this application , and turned it ON, but there is no pop up shown or any alert for my friends birthday on my SpringBoard.

    Can someone tell me, what can be the problem?

    thanks

  28. Brooke on February 14th, 2008 11:07 am:

    @toto and Fill…what version iPhone are you on? Also, what version of the app are you installing? One version works with 1.1.1 and the other works with 1.1.2. Check out this post.

  29. Fill on February 15th, 2008 8:00 am:

    I’m using firmware 1.1.2 OTB and iBirthDay 1.2.3.

  30. Brooke on February 15th, 2008 12:09 pm:

    Huh…then it should be working correctly for you. What I did to test mine, before I wrote the post, is I just gave someone a birthday for today and then changed the notification time to one minute later then the current time. Then one minute later I got a pop-up saying there were birthdays. Also, make sure it is version 1.2.3a.

    [Reply]

  31. Fill on February 16th, 2008 6:23 am:

    my version of iBirthDay is 1.2.3 not 1.2.3a , where can i found source for downloading that version, or how can i update it ?

    [Reply]

  32. Brooke on February 16th, 2008 9:25 am:

    @Fill…iBirthday is available in the ModMyApple.it(Chiafa) source. The url is – http://www.serverasp.net/chiafa/MMA/repo.xml

    [Reply]

  33. Fill on February 17th, 2008 3:51 am:

    I’ve removed the source from the Installer.app, then i uninstalled the iBirthDay 1.2.3 version from my iPhone, after that i restarted the phone and add the source that you mentioned. Then in the Installer.app was displayed the 1.2.3a version of iBirthday to install, i install it but when i open it there was still 1.2.3 version of iBirthDay, and you gess it still does not work. No pop ups or any sound for birthday
    I olso change the permissions to Library/LaunchDaemons and
    /usr/local/bin/Birthday files to 755 and restarted the iPhone again and still nothing.

    Again, i’m using jailbreaked, activated and unlocked otb 1.1.2 iPhone.

    Some ideas for fixing this or any suggestions will be great. Thanks

  34. Binke on March 3rd, 2008 10:09 am:

    Works fine with 1.1.3: no problem. Took i while before the installation was ok. removed the source a couple of times.

    question:
    What to do if you got one family in your contacts with 4 dates (man, wife and 2 kids)???
    Any ideas?

    thanks
