Hello geoneuling,

Could you give me a precise scenario that I could reproduce ?

Did you select "Link calendar to appointment category" in BirdieSync options ?
If it's not the case, the mobile device event will be synchronized in the "Default" calendar that you chose in BirdieSync options.
If it's the case, the mobile device event will be synchronized in the calendar whose name matches the name of the event category on the mobile device. If no matching calendar name is found, then the "Default" calendar will be used.

Did you select the option "Don't synchronize appointments and tasks on the mobile with categories matching no calendar" ?
That could exclude the event from being synchronized.

Are you sure that the calendar where the mobile device event is synchronized is selected to be viewed in Lightning ?

Thanks.

Could you please disconnect your mobile device, create an event on the mobile device telling me the exact name that you used for the "category" field, then reconnect your mobile device and launch the synchronization and send the logs to support(at)birdiesync.com with "Tools/BirdieSync/Log archive..." after the end of the synchronization.
Thanks.

thats was the Problem
I Have forgot use the category, in the normaly I have use "keine Kategorie" also "Default" but in the calender are not default

i think I have now two Options:
1st: use the category "Default" too, what is the right adjustment for this option
2nd: delete all other options apart from "privat" and "arbeit" in the mobil device

Thank you for the logs. The problem is that you chose "Geburtstag" for your "Default" calendar. This calendar is READ ONLY since it is generated by the add-on thunderbirthday. So it's not possible to synchronize an event created/modified on the mobile device in this calendar.
Change your "Default" calendar to "Privat" for instance and ensure that the synchronization way associated to this calendar is "Both ways".

Note also that you shouldn't use a category "Default" on the mobile device since there is no calendar named "Default" in Lightning. Since there is no matching calendar, an appointment with a category named "Default" would be synchronized in "Geburtstag" calendar (which is the default calendar).
