I’m totally stoked about version 2.1.2 of iBirthday!!! The app finally works!!! I’m sooooo exited! I updated to 2.1.2 thinking that I would maybe see some visual changes (there are none) and not really expecting the app to work again. I went in and changed my birthday to today…then went into the settings in the app and change it to notify me on the day of the birthday and like two minutes later so I had time to respring my iPhone. So, after I set the settings I used Restart to respring my SpringBoard and I waited…thinking I wouldn’t see anything…well, I was taken aback when I got a little Happy Birthday pop-up!! Not only that but after I canceled the pop-up it even did the little message across the top of the SpringBoard!! So, this app is fully functional!! I’m totally excited…I love this app!! iBirthday is available through the ModMyApple.it source. Below are the screenshots.
Note: As mentioned in the past this app works with 1.1.2 and above.

Hi Brooke,
I tried installing it in my 1.1.4 iphone from installer, but it said main script execution failed. I wonder if your iphone is unlocked and how did you unlocked it (ziphone or iliberty)?
Thanks!!

Brooke reply on March 29, 2008:
The iPhone I used was not unlocked…just jailbroken with ZiPhone. Try clearing your Queue in the Installer and installing it again.

Thanks!

Hey brooke, a question completely off subject. How many apps do you have?!. I see like ten pages. Also , what firmware are you running? (just curiosity)
[Reply]
Brooke reply on March 29, 2008:
I have 16 pages with 12 apps each….so, that would be like around 192 apps. The reason I can do that is because I am still on 1.1.1.
Brooke reply on March 29, 2008:
Oh sorry…I just realized I used Doug’s iPhone for these screenshots…he has nine pages because that is the limit on 1.1.4.
March 29th, 2008 at 3:40 pm
This app always worked fine for me…I am on 1.1.4 and have been using this since quite some time now

Brooke reply on March 29, 2008:
Really!! Weird…it hasn’t worked for me since about two version ago!

Awesome Job!
This is by far my favourite App now!
And its working well!
But i got a suggestion,
I would love to see the opertunity to add Birthdaydates to the Birthdaylist.
Cause I got a few Birthdays I would like to be remembered without having a Contact ect. to that Birthday.
I think that would be a very cool feature!
Thanks a lot for that Addon =)

Brooke reply on April 3, 2008:
What version of FW are you on? This app is only compatible with 1.1.2 and above.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:28 pm
Buddy, do you know any other source to obtain this iBirthday app? I’ve installed this ModmyiFone.com , however even updating ….this apps does not seem on my list…!!! Thx
[Reply]
Brooke reply on April 3, 2008:
It is actually through the ModMyApple.it source not the ModMyiFone.com source. Try that and see if it works.
April 5th, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Brooke,
The services on/off button always goes to off again whenever I close the app. Any thoughts? I’m on 1.1.2

April 7th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Even though I have the phone on vibrate the tone for the birthdays still goes off. Is this common or no?

April 7th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
Hi Brooke,
This is a great program! Thanks for highlighting it on your great website. I’d love iBirthday to have a secondary alert option similar to the Calendar program on the iPhone. That way I can alert myself a week or so in advance and then again on the actual birthday.
If anyone else would like this feature, may I suggest you send the developer an email via your iPhone by going into Installer > Uninstall > iBirthday > Contact Chiafa.

hi, i just installed iBirthday 2.1.2 today, but i found out that i can no longer connect using VPN - Error reads “Internet Connect - PPP must have super user privileges to function correctly”
please help !!!
I birthday is a great program and its a must have for iphone users, but with the problem i encountered, I’m force to restore back to 1.1.4 and install everything again without iBirthday.

Might sound like a stupid question but…
How do you add birthdays?
[Reply]
April 17th, 2008 at 2:03 am
It’s a cool app but there is one thing I am missing: What about events which are not stored within the contact data, i.e. birthday of my kids, wedding day of friends or other special dates. It will be nice, if I could insert these information seperately.

Good day Brooke, Thanks for a really great website!
Firstly let me say that ibirthday is a really cool app! I have had no issues running the app on 1.1.3 & 1.1.4 but I seem to have lost a certain feature. Before my phone crashed (after installing icalls on 1.1.3), ibirthday would prompt me to either sms or call the person who’s birthday it was on that day, instead of just the normal blue and white notification (Happy Birthday!! etc) Has anyone else experienced this issue and can assist me to get back my sms or call feature?

snakebyter reply on June 23, 2008:

I would love to have this app installed. but here also I get the message “Main script execution failed!”, in the Statusarea there is first the text “Copying iBurthDay.app”, then “Set permission to iBirthDay.app”, then the error is shown. Using Finder.app I can see the Directory iBirthDay.app

jimmy reply on July 24, 2008:
You have to connect your ipod/iphone via SSH and set the permission to the private/var/root/library/calendar folder as 0777 (in WinSCP it’s 0777). Works on mine!:)
Rolf reply on August 13, 2008:
I tried to change to find the folder “calendar” but in private/var/root/ there is no folder “library”, only a folder “Library Media” and in this there is no folder “calendar”.
any other tips, since I still get the same error message while installing the app?
July 24th, 2008 at 10:19 am
When will this APP be available for Version 2.0? I really liked this APP, but I upgraded my phone. will you be publishing this in the App Store for free as well?
Please do so, this is an awsome APP.
