How can i get my contact data to populate my events in calendar?

I want to be able to create a calendar event by either typing a name and getting a dropdown list from Contacts, or by clicking on a contact and getting the option to create an event.  Phone numbers and addresses would then be available in the calendar instead of having to separately looking up the contact info.

Wow, i knew that just as i sent the question i would get something popping up that i just hadn't worded right. 
I have noted a thread that says i can drag and drop the contact into the calendar which doesn't seem to work anyway.
But i'd still like the other techniques if available.

  • How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade?

    Dear wise & wondeful people:
    How can I get missing contacts, notes, calendar dates and reminders that are just on my old iphone onto the iCloud for transfer to my new iPhone upgrade? Half of my contacts, notes, ect. were on my iCloud so have happily moved to my new iPhone but the rest are completely resistant. For example, on my iCloud I have 14 missing contacts starting with the letter A alone, however they are happily viewable on my old iPhone 4S and won't budge over into the iCloud.
    There are also 3 notes missing yet still acessible on my onld iPhone 4S, the list goes on.
    Your help would be most appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • How can i get back my data after i restored my iphone and accidentally created a new iphone ac.

    how can i get back my data after i restored my iphone and accidentally created a new iphone ac.
    it did a back up when i started my restored iphone and i cant retrieve my previous backup while i didnt back up on icloud....
    the new ac is actually the same apple id as the one i used. I lost all my contact, photos and data of whatsapp...
    what can i do...help!

    I don't know if this is a similar problem but I wrote 2 notes yesterday on my iphone. I opened my mail to print them and they appeared as notes but wouldn't load. Then I looked at them on my iphone and I could see the notes but they quickly updated to blank with a time of the last edit the same time I tried opening them on my computer.
    Yesterday I updated to 4.3.4  I don't know if somehow that affected them. Are they stored somewhere else. Can I get them back?

  • Hi, can you help?  My emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    Hi, The emails that I have received show the date received as either today, yesterday or July 28.  How can I get the correct date received?

    That's very scary. They might do it, but I personally have never had Apple contact me re id's except on their site when signing in. I suggest you DO NOT respond until you have a phone conversation with Apple security. They can verify if they sent you the e-mail and why.
    While it's very possible it's true,again, I suggest you not respond until you speak to someone at Apple. I've often read here that when people sign in they are not allowed to because "someone else has used the id" type of statement.
    Also, you should be able to go to the app store and see what apps you have downloaded.
    Though it could have been a free app, have you checked to see if any were bought with your id account?
    I've gotten these types of e-mails from places like USPS and FedEx which look amazingly authentic and were from their website. I also received an odd e-mail from my cousin in Ireland last year that clearly was not from him. It was also sent to others in his family in Ireland. I e-mailed him that I only opened it because it had a .ie, but suggested he change... Days later I received mail from 'him' - same name, but at yahoo.com. 
    Again, I would call Apple. You can also report it at [email protected], but I would not settle for that given your situation. If nothing else, call Apple sales (sales depts. anywhere answer fast) and ask them to transfer you to security. Apple will not want anybody accessing their name, and while it's unlikely, it's not impossible that it is someone phishing.
    Hope this helps and can you let the support community know your results by posting on this thread when you're done? Thank you.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i get the meta data from database?

    Hi, all java and db experts,
    I need to write a tool to generate java file which will be used to hold the resultset of a stored procedure of Oracle. Is there any API call or tools to connect to db and then get the meta data of the return cursor instead of reading stored procedure definition on my own?
    Please help, thanks a lot.
    Hanna

    if i execute a Oracle stored procedure, the resultset of a cursor is returned. It's easy to know the meta data at the runtime.
    However, could i get the meta data about the resultset of a cursor before runtime? Such as by connecting to the database and ask it about meta data of a specified stored procedure?
    Is it feasible?
    DatabaseMetaData dbmd = conn.getMetaData();
    ResultSet rs = dbmd.getProcedureColumns("", "%", "SP_NAME", "%");
    while (rs.next()) {
    String colName = rs.getString(4);
    int colType = rs.getInt(5);
    int colDataType = rs.getInt(6);
    int colPrecision = rs.getInt(8);
    int colLen = rs.getInt(9);
    int colScale = rs.getInt(10);
    long defaultValue = rs.getLong(11);
    But what i get is a list of stored procedure parameters. In oracle, cursor is IN OUT parameter . How can i get the meta data about the resultset of cursor?

  • I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date is created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    I have made a burn folder with photos exported from I-photo.  It now shows in information, that the date  created and modified is different from the original digitized date.  How can I get the original date to show in the info from Finder?

    The Finder reports File information. The date and time of the photo are in the Photo's Exif metadata. The Finder has no awareness of this. All photos apps on any system do.

    I found out that I have some lost contacts on my iphone 5s, they dont appear when I search but if the contact calls me I see their name. How can I get those contacts to be on the list?

    You could check settings > mail contacts and calandars and see if there are any accounts (like icloud gmail yahoo) listed and if they have contacts on. Its possible if contacts were synced to one of these accounts that turning them back on will recover the missing contacts.

    I used to have a web page in mobile me and now is closed.  How can I get my webpage data back?

    Your web pages on MobileMe have been deleted. If you were using iWeb you wouldn't have been able to open them anyway.
    As long as you have the iWeb 'Domain' file in your user Library, or whatever the program you are using stores the information in, on your Mac you can publish to another hosting service - there are plenty to choose from. More information here:

    I forgot the backup encryption password in iTunes how can I get my backup data back?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
