OS X Yosemite :: Why Won't Contacts Phone Number Appear In New Event Added In Calendar
Dec 9, 2014
I'm new to using the Apple Calendar to list new events added. Previously, I used Microsoft Outlook 2010 for my business needs on my old PC and that worked perfectly for adding new jobs. Recently I made the change to a 27" iMac running Yosemite (which I love) and I purchased MS Office 365 for all of my business templates and approximately 1,000 customers. The MS Outlook program is having a lot of trouble syncing to the Apple Calendar which wasn't a problem on my old PC.
So, I thought that I could just use the suite of programs included with my new iMac instead of Outlook. Unfortunately, when adding a new event and add a customer as a location, it will only list their address and not their phone number which is something that I must have. I understand that I will have the contacts listed with me always, but I don't want to have to switch between programs to pull up the listed contacts #. If this is not available then I fear that I will have to revert back to MS Outlook and just figure out what is preventing it from properly syncing with Calendar. I use the Calendar app on both my iPhone 5 and my iPad Air religiously so in the end it all comes back to Calendar.

Since moving to Yosemite I've been getting this error message with calendar - "Calendar can't save event "{event name}" to the Exchange server."
I'm unable to find any fix, including turning on/off time zone support. I've also re-established the exchange account more than once - each time the error eventually comes back (with a different calendar event).
Here's a link to a discussion on this subject, however, it was created under OS X Mountain Lion. I never encountered this issue prior to Yosemite. Thus, I created a new discussion here under OS X Yosemite.

Addition of any event in ICal on my macbook (Lion OS) doesn't sync with ICloud, however, if I create any event on iPhone 4s it does get pushed to calendar on MacBook.

When I enter an event in calendar, I name it and put the time right after the name. It then enters the time in the detail box that can be opened up regarding the event. What I want to do, however, is show the time in the calendar, right after the name, without opening up the detail box. If I open up the detail box and edit the name by adding the time, it will stay there. Is there a way for me to avoid this extra step and have the time show up right after the event name when I create the event?

I am trying to use iCloud calendar services for collaboration with my wife, and my secretary (I actually even bought a mac for my wife so that we could do this). However every time either of them change anything in their respective calendars I get an e-mail from iCloud saying an event has been created. This only started about a week ago. I have checked to see if some of my settings in iCloud have changed, and they haven't (the box in iCloud that says: "E-mail me when this calendar changes" is not ticked). Why I am suddenly getting all these e-mails which are quite irritating.

How do I get the Calendar to repeat an event just one day a week? It always wants to repeat across all days and all weeks, not just the one day each week I want.

I've got a client who would like to audit calendar event removal. I'm not finding any seemingly good method for this, and I'm not seeing deletions being logged.

1) my wife wanted my work schedule
2) to test - I exported it into a file and try to reimport it
3) for every date, I am getting an error message. "the event " " Was rejected by iCloud because it already exists" => Ignore, try again, revert to server"
I probably have several thousand of these, going back years. I can't seem to stop the import - force quit and restart and it starts up again. I may have just rendered my calendar program totally useless. How do I stop this import.

I have about 30 calendars, one for each bill (and misc). Each bill is set to repeat monthly.In the past, I'd just paste in the confimation into this month's event, tell it to only update that particular one, then it would replicate to all my devices. Since Yosemite, this does not happen. I've lost a lot of information before I caught it.
This is happening on a Mac mini (home Mac) and a Mac I use at work and JUST set up with a fresh install of Yosemite. I have un-synced calendars to my Macs, re-synced, but any updates to repeating events never hit iCloud.com - if I make a non-repeating one-off event, it goes through.
I have made entirely new calendars in case it was the calendar itself, but a brand new one I just made (that repeats on the 1st of every month) wouldn't replicate to iCloud. It will show the data in the event until I close Calendar and re-launch it. Then it's gone, like it never was there.
I've also noticed that on my iPhone 6+ (8.1.1), even though everything is set to Push, I have to manually pull down on Calendars (in the Calendars option) to have it refresh and pull down new calendars and changes. Same thing on the iPhone in regard to repeating events, too. I have great cellular and Wi-Fi connections, so that is not the issue. I feel I'm back in MobileMe days when I constantly had this issue and thought iCloud was a god-send.

My messenger started to do some pretty stupid things. A morning when I logged in, all my contact suddenly were blocked, but I fixed it. But now, when I log in, I get requests from all my contacts, who already are on my contact-list, and I get those requests every time I log in. And also when I then write to one of my contacts, they see me as offline.

Do you know of any software I can download for free that enables me to store my 1000 or so contacts from my Samsung Solstice phone? I've been looking around for days now but haven't found anything useful. Nor do I know how will the transfer will actually happen - can I bluetooth the contacts to my Macbook Pro, keeping all the info intact (names, different #s for home, work, etc.)?

I have a MacBook running Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I connect to the internet via wifi, and I was wondering if it was at all possible to send a fax to a phone number. I have a PDF file I'd like to fax, but I personally don't have a fax line.

I'm looking for a program/app that will allow me to primarily send SMS from my Mac using my current phone number. Does anyone know if anything like this exists? I can only think of something like this working in one of two ways: Sending an SMS composed on my Mac through my mobile/cell, via Bluetooth or some other method? OR Using software that emulates my mobile number to compose and send SMS?
I remember back in the day you could actually email an SMS to a phone by using their mobile number as a username and their network as the domain - e.g. 07123456789@orange.net. Unfortunately, because pretty much all the networks now provide email services too, doing that nowadays means they will actually receive an email at their online account instead of their SMS inbox.......................

iMessage does not show my phone number on iMac. My family has 3 iPhones we sync to this computer and only the other two are available to checkmark in preferences on the iMac. I tried updating my profile online, but only my number is listed on my account. iMessages works fine on my phone. I've tried signing out and back in and rebooting.

Just did a sync and everything looks good. The only weird thing is that My iphone shows 5 more contacts than my addy book on icloud.
Does the "address book" use more than just contacts to show you your total? Like does it count notes, or calendar inputs as "contacts"? Or even contacts eith more than one phone number?

I wonder is someone knows how do a batch change in address book. I'm changing phone operator and I have to change the phone number prefix from "041" to "015" to all my contacts. I've tried to find some applescript but I've found only to change the whole number.

I have recently upgraded from OS X 10.6.x to 10.7.x.I did a manual migration of my user data as I found there was not enough granularity in the Migration Assistant, in terms of what does and does not get migrated over. One thing I have not figured out is where the custom Phone number formats are stored for Address Book. I have about 20+ phone number formats set up in preferences on my 10.6.x installation. I would like to bring them directly over to Address Book on the 10.7.x installation.Which file to I copy over?

I have tried to add my number to both iMessage and FaceTime but it will only allow an email address to be added. I checked my Apple ID and my phone number is there. I don't know why my phone number mysteriously disappeared, it had been linked since I got my MacBook.
