ICal links to contacts and maps

Is there any way of linking an iCal event to contacts or maps?
Eg. I've just booked a weekend in a hotel that appears in my contacts, is there a way to link the event to that contact. And also, if I create an event and then put the address/postcode in the location box, this is not 'clickable' to open up maps on the iPhone.

I'd like this too. On my Palm I used DateBk which would let you link calendar entries to the address book - so you get 'Ring Tom Smith' as a calendar entry, with a link next to it that opens up Tom Smith's phone number etc.
Seems a very basic requirement for a diary/calendar, but does not seem to be present in iCal. Nearest I can get is to drag an Address Book entry into iCal, but this tries to set up a meeting and send the person an email invitation!

Difference between Accounts in Address Book and iCal vs Mail, Contacts and Calendars Accounts?

Trying to wrap my head around iCloud's capabilites right now.
In System Prefs, there is the Mail, Contacts and Calendars setting. In there, I can set up syncing with contacts and calendars via a Google account there. However, when I open up iCal (aka calendars) and Address Book (aka contacts), they ALSO have their own seemingly independent syncing options.
I'd ideally like to keep a copy of my contacts and calendars synced through Google and iCloud.
What is the optimal way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

A) Contacts)
1. Open www.icloud.com
2. Open Contacts
3. Mark All Contacts > CMD + A
4. Click on the small icon in the lower left corner
5. Choose Export vCard...
6. Open your "Address Book" on your Mac and choose "File > Import"
B) Calendar)
At the moment there is no option to download/export all the data, but you could share the calendar back to your Mac by opening the www.icloud.com website, then...
2. Open Calendar
3. Click the samll "Share" button behind the name of every calendar and share it with your account.
or

6. Open the calendar again
7. Open the menu "File > Import" + choose the file from your desktop
8. Choose your preferred calendar

DPS Interaction with iPad features such as Contacts and Maps

Hi all. Curious if anyone has had any success getting a DPS publication to interact with Contacts or Maps on the iPad?
I am in a situation where I would like my publication to allow users to click to add a contact to contacts or touch an address to have maps locate it. Has anyone had any success getting these features to work and if so, how did you acomplish it. Thanks in advance for any tips/help of this.

Maps works fine. Do a search. I don't think Contacts work.

Link between contacts and call history / WhatsApp is lost

hello, can you help me please?
my z10 lost the connection between the contacts and the call history. What I want to say is: My contacts (synced from BES) are complete, there is no problem. But the call history shows only the phone numbers, I cannot see, to which contact the number belongs and I also cannot start a call from the contact-button underneath the call-list. Because in this view there are none of my contacts anymore.
The same effect with WhatsApp: I see all the chats, but name and picture of the sender are gone. I still can answer the existing chats, but I can't start a new one, because I don't find any contacts. a click on Favs shows me a view sying "none of your friends is using WhatsApp". So obviously this list is not connected to the contacs anymore.
Strange enough, SMS is working as usual, I can see the names of the senders there without problem.
This situation is new, it startet a few days ago after I found the mode where it required SIM PIN. After that the described effect was there. I rebootet the berry, which did not change the effect.
Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much!

    Hi again!
     I saved the last message by accident which caused the reply to be sent off and so I had not finished what I wanted to write. Aploogies.
     I didn't find the new iMac hybrid SSD/Disk system easy to understand when it arrived over a year ago. I eventually decided that the 256 SSD section would be best suited to having the Operatin System for greater speed and I must have decided to put the music files on the 1TB internal hard drive along with photos and raw video clips. I can't honestly remember. There was a lot to take in. I wasn't even aware until this failure that iTunes had a default location.
     In addition to having the iTunes folder on the internal 1TB hard drive, I used Time Machine to store the entire computer contents on a 1TB Western Digital external hard drive. I had done my last Time Machine back-up on the 13 February and so I was hoping that by opening one or two songs on the back-up, they might reactivate the 'old' interface with the original playlists on it. That didn't happen but I then realised, while I was still in the Tme Machine back-ups on the WD external hard drive, that in the iTunes Media folder contained within the iTunes folder on the default Users/Username/Music location there was only an Add automatically to iTunes folder which was empty. While still still looking through the Time Machine back-upsI saw that the music instead was stored on the 1TB of internal hard drive as outlined on the first post:
     'The music files are located in folders (name of artists), within a folder (iTunes Music), within a folder (iTunes), within a folder (Music), within a folder (username) on the 1TB of internal disk drive.'

Please, can Apple actually link Reminders, Contacts, and Calendar?

I want to be able to create a Reminder to "Call Adam Smith" and have it link to the Contact card for Adam in my Contacts app.
Similarly, an event on my Calendar should be able to have associated Reminder tasks for prerequisite tasks (for meetings, etc), as well as associaed contacts other than invitees. (I may have a meeting about a certain client, but not with them, so they don't need an invitiation, but I still need their contact info easily accessible with the event info.)
Apple, you are SO close with these three great apps, and I love how they sync across two Macs and two iOS devices that I use. Could we please just close the loop and connect them, so I don't have to try to duct-tape a solution with third-party apps (which always seem to screw up a sync somewhere)?

Happily millions of others have no problems, and you have not explained what your problem actually is, or any other details for that matter.
Is this a request for tech support, or just a complaint?

Now trying to use Mavericks in 2014 no syncing is functional amongst these. Existing Reminders should be deleted? Bunkum. Poor implemetation and design again. I use this very infrequently but when I do it IS importtant they work.
Sadly I spend as much time trying to confirm the event settings as I do performing each event.

I'm too old to learn iCal. How do I tell iTunes to synch with Outlook for Mac for all of the Contacts and the Calendar on my iPhone and iPad??
Also, once I figure out how to replace iCal with Outlook/Mac on iTunes, how do I synch the phone and pad so that the information on those devices over-writes onto Outlook as a backup, rather than having a blank Calendar on Outlook wipe out all of the information on the phone and pad???
Thanks

If you haven't tried already, plug your devices into iTunes, and on each device next to the "Summary" tab at the top is another tab called "Info." Click that and scroll down to Contacts, Calendars, etc. There should be a pull down bar under each category for "Sync contacts from..." and you should be able to select from that pull down list Outlook. Hit Apply at the bottom and see if that does it.

How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

HT4436 Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred.

Why don't all my contacts and calendar events on my iMac (version 10.7.4) stream onto iCloud? For instance, there are 470 entries in my address book but only 270 on iCloud. And not all my appointments in iCal are transferred either.
I have the same problem transfering Address book on iMac to contacts on iPhone (old version 3G - on iCloud). this is a hard wired connection

Might you have 200 entries in On My Mac groups and some of your appointments in On My Mac calendars?

Go to SETTINGS, then ACCOUNTS AND SYNC select facebook and uncheck sync contacts and then do the same for yahoo.

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?

I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts.

I just got a new iPad 2 and I have lot of questions. I was able to wirelessly link my iPad and iTunes on my PC. I was able to SYNC my email and calendar (new entries only no history), however I have not been able to SYNC Outlook contacts. Outlook has multiple contact lists. Only one has any data. I can't find a way to delete the others and I can't keep the one I want to use at the top of the list. Any ideas?
I have a question about email. I have several thousand emails in 10 or so days. How can I select multiple emails for deletion in stead of one at a time? How do I designate emails from a given sender as junk or block certain senders?
Ron

the spcs page on this site state which video formats the ipad supports
I'd suggest converting your old videos to one of those formats
handbrake is a free program which does this for you
itunes used to be able to too when I right clicked incompatible media but don't see the option any more
or maybe it only show when one right click incompatible media and currently my lib don't have any
about the music then it's odd what formats are they?
if they are acc protected have you tried to remove the DRM this can be don using itunes as
apple don't use DRM for music any more

I just purchased a new iMac, and I want to sync my contacts and iCal from my older Macbook Pro. What is the easiest way to do this?

I'm not sure how to sync contacts and iCal between my older Macbook Pro and my new iMac. I've searched on Google for a few explanations, but they seem fairly complicated. Are there any easy ways to make this happen?

Is this a one time sync or do you want to keep them synced all the time?
If it's a one time sync you want to use Setup Assistant to migrate your data from the old machine to the new one. You can use the Lion Setup Assistant tips for help.
If you want to always keep them synced you have several alternatives. First is you can wait for iCloud which will be released this Fall according to Apple. You can find information about iCloud at www.apple.com/icloud. Several years ago I began using a tool called Synctogether which syncs Bookmarks, Calendars, Contacts, Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts and Mail Signatures. You just check what you want synced, for example I do Bookmarks, Calendars and Contacts. This app sells for about $49 I think, however if I were you I'd wait for iCloud which will give you 5GB (which is a LOT) for free.

Unable to sync contacts and calendar from Q10 using BB Link

I am using Blackberry Link version 1.2.2.13 and each time I try to synchronize my Blackberry Q10 to my Laptop (Windows XP OS), I receive the message "Sync was unsuccessful- Unable to process organizer data." I have reset the settings, removed the device, reset the sync relationships as well as reinstalling the software, but nothing had resolved my issue. I have been a loyal Blackberry consumer for the last 6-7 years and would hate to have to switch to another brand because of something like this.
I am also noticing that while I may be receiving that message, The information of contacts are being shuffled around among other contacts. I have reset the handset to factory default, but the problem continues.

This is exactly what I am dealing with. Blackberry Link will work great for awhile and then something happens and I can not sync my contacts. I have spent many hours and days trying to fix this to no avail. BB support has been great but I still go through a long process each time. This week I finally gave up and started using the Microsoft Hotmail Outlook Connector since my company does not offer Active Sync or Exchange. It works flawlessly. I would dedfinitely check it out. If you swith to a Widows Phone or Android this is one of the options they recommend you use.
In a nutshell Link is awful and BB should be ashamed of the product they put on the market. I will only use it for syncing pictures and documents. Good luck!
