Shortcut to paste contact info into a calendar event

If I'm creating an event in my calendar at a location that is listed in my contacts, is there a shortcut to paste the address and/or phone into the event details somewhere?
And if I get an email with lots of cool details in the body, is there a shortcut to transfer or paste all that info into my calendar?

Not from within the native operating system.
You will want to look at a third party application like Copy2Contact or Grabbit, both of which grab data from an email or such and create calendar events (or contacts, accordingly).

Can someone pls advise how to tie a contacts info to a calendar event so you can contact them from the event when reschedulingis necessary instead of having to leave the calendar app, search contacts,

Connect contact info to calendar event in calendar app

Hello AmyDGH,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! You can invite others to your events using email addresses. Once your invitees have accepted, you can then send a group email to the participants via the calendar application (or individually view a participants contact information). You can check out the iOS user guide for more information on using invitations with the calendar application:
Invitations - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iph82c5721ca
Invite others to an event. Tap an event, tap Edit, then tap Invitees. Type names, or tap the add button to pick people from Contacts. If you don’t want to be notified when someone declines a meeting, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar > Show Invitee Declines.
Quickly send an email to attendees. Tap the event, tap Invitees, then tap the send mail to invitees button.
Cheers,
Matt M.

Why can't I cut/paste contact info into various contact fields? This worked before Mt Loin.

Before Mt Loin I could cut/paste into various fields in Contacts, ie: phone numbers, mailing addresses, etc. Now I am force to manual update contacts.

Sorry I should have said that we had tried other CHM files on the PCs with the same result. For instance on PCs where the paste did not activate the List Topics button, this was the behaviour on all CHMs. Likewise on the PCs where the button was activated it was the same on all PCs. So the problem is PC related.
Rick. A space after the paste does activate the button. Likewise a backspace so you are probably right. No sure this will meet the exacting standards of our test lead. If it doesn't, maybe I'll print out a copy of our largest help file in 42pt typeface and beat him around the head with it. BTW I love your slight on searches. I'd better not get you started with Air Help then .

Can I sync Address Book and iCal to put contact info into iCal?

I use Address Book as a contact/customer list and use iCal to prepare my schedule for work. I usually type in the name of the customer I want to see in iCal. Is there anyway to import or drag names out of Address Book into iCal so the location & contact info will be included? I don't want to invite the customer. I just want to input the info into iCal so I don't have retype a name that is already in my Address Book.
If I have customer "xxx" in Adress Book and I am planning on visiting this customer tomorrow. Is there anyway for me to transfer/import this info to iCal without physically typing "xxx"? When I look at my appointment I would love to see the contact info for "xxx" in iCal when I click on individual appointments.
I hope this makes sense.

Hi,
You can link to the Address Book entry with a URL. See my script +Link to Address Book+ on this page http://www.nhoj.co.uk/applescripts/ which creates a link from the currently selected person in Address Book. These can then be added to the URL field in iCal or the notes field if you have more than one per event.
Best wishes

Cannot Paste Excel info into PDF files

We are an Accounting firm.
I need to past copied information from Excel into PDF files.
We have 35 users that use Adobe Standard 9.5.
We have one use that uses Adobe X Standard.
The 35 users can paste into a PDF file with no problems.
The 1 User of Adobe X Standard cannot.
Can someone please assist me is getting Adobe X Standard to allow a simple paste from Excel into the PDF.
Thanks.
Cepolly

I don't know if this will help, but I ran into this problem myself today. We had an upgrade, and no one could figure out why I couldn't paste my small Excel table into my pdfs, which I have done through 9 and now X Pro.
I compared my Preferences, and the problem was there.
In Edit/Preferences/Comments, all options should be checked in the first of three sections. Once I checked all of those options, I could paste into the pdfs again.
Hope this helps - actually hope you found the solution long before now.

Updated Pages 5 and now templates no longer pull my contact info into them. Any ideas or help?

Pages templates no longer assume my contact info. Any idea how to make it do it again. My contact is set to me in the contacts
imac running Mavericks and updated pages

When I opened a Pages template for the first time, it asked me if Pages could access my contacts. I said yes, but it sounds like you said no. You can give pages permission by going to System Preferences, then Security & Privacy, then click the Privacy tab, then click Contacts in the sidebar, then make sure that Pages is checked. I would quit and restart Pages after doing this, just to be sure it goes through.

Inject Contact Info into mobile Address Book

I would like my mobile website to inject some contact information into the visitor’s phone address book when they click a button asking it to.
Also, is there an ’add me to your bookmarks’ facility?

What kind of backup? If it's a TM backup then open Address Book and select Address Book Help from the Help menu. Search for "restore from time machine." You'll find an article on how to restore entries from a TM backup.
If this is simply a cloned backup then navigate to the /Home/Library/Application Support/ folder on the backup drive and copy the AddressBook folder to the same location on your hard drive.
Then navigate to /Home/Library/Preferences/ and copy the com.apple.addressbook.plist and com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist files from the backup to the same location on your hard drive.
Address Book must not be running.

I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SYNC GOOGLE MAPS INTO MY CALENDAR EVENTS on IPhone

I often find myself with spurts of time where I can look up the location of my events, but when I am on the move I don't have a lot time. It would be very helpful to be able to attach locations into my events so that when it's time to go to that event I'm not scrambling trying to find out where it is. I think this would also be helpful for people, like myself, who maintain an executive's calendar and can streamline their day as well. If there is already a way to do this please help...otherwise someone with the means to do this (ie apple/mac) should include this into the next update.
Thank you for reading this and if you can offer any help it is much appreciated.

This works for me...
1. From the Maps app, drop a pin and position it where your event is
2. share that pin location via an email or MMS to yourself
3. copy that location from the email/MMS
4. paste it into the Notes section of your calendar event
5. you'll then have a link to Google maps in your event for your event location
...all from your iPhone.

Put email details into a calendar event

I am curious if there exists a simple way to use an email to create a calendar event that will have the email content embedded in the comments section of the event. In researching I know that I can drag and drop an email into the calendar to create the event; that works fine, but it only carries over the email title to the calendar event. I could open up the email and copy the text and then open up the event and paste, but I am hoping for something a little more automated.
The ultimate goal here is to have a better way to manage my way through email. I get numerous emails that have deadlines and or deliverables with information being provided in the email text, as well as, attachments. I would like to be able to place that information on a calendar event so that when the event comes up, I don't have to troll back through my email to find it.
I am open to ideas both delivered and hacked... My guess is that the answer to delivered is "nope" (at least in Mac Mail, maybe another mail client?); I have been pretty persistent in trying to figure it out. Hacked? I don't know. Applescript maybe?
I would enjoy hearing thoughts and ideas from those far wiser than me...

as an invite? The recipient can have a status is non participant

Sync PalmOne Zire 31 Contact info into Outlook Contact info

I have a new (to me) computer with Windows XP and have downloaded my Zire 31 software. I have information on my Palm that I need to sync into my Outlook contacts. When I hook up the Palm and hit the "sync" button, it acts like it is doing something but finishes right away (it took quite awhile on my old computer) and no data has been transferred. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks.
Post relates to: Zire 31

Hi, let me get this right. Your outlook contact is currently empty? and you have already sync with iPhone and unfortunately your iPhone contacts had been overwritten by empty outlook contact?
In that case, I think it is all too late since both outlook & iphone contact are empty!!!
If you managed to get all the contacts back on your iphone (e.g. copy from sim??), make sure the option of "replace all items on iPhone" is unclick when you sync via iTune.

Do I have to type in all my contact info into the Blackberry?

Is there somewhere on my computer (application or software) that I can enter all my contact information (names, phone numbers,email) rather than typing it in on the little Blackberry Curve? I don't use Outlook.
Thanks,
Chickieeeee

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
RIM does not provide a PIM. Rather, they provide their desktop software to integrate with several different PIMs, allowing the user to choose from those that are compatible. Here is a link to the page that discusses which of those work with the RIM desktop software.

When I download Word documents in Firefox, I can't save them as ".doc" and/or ".docx" files. They go to "recent documents" as ".lnk" files and I can't even cut-n-paste the info into a new Word document to fix the problem

Details are covered in the question. There is some sort of bug in downloading files in Firefox 4.0, downloaded files simply won't exist outside of "Recent files", which upload as ".lnk". I don't seem to have this issue with IE9.

Not in MAC mail. In yahoo mail. I fiddled around with it after posting, and discovered that if I saved the entire email to the desktop in HTML(?), and then opened the email, I was able to open the attachment as well. This is a pretty roundabout way to open an attachment. I'd much rather be able to do it in one step. Any idea why this is happening? A more direct way to fix? I am not a computer person. Just stumbled on the idea of saving it in different format. Thanks.

How can I cut and paste into a calendar's event notes?

How can I paste into a calendar event's note section? The attachement way is too cumbersome.

You are trying to copy a link, it is most likely in a different color such as the words "Microsoft's own forums" in his post. In Word highlight the word or words, control click on them, select Hyperlink, then Edit Hyperlink, then delete the link from the top box. It will then have a button asking if you want to "Remove Link", click on it.

Drag a contact to reminder or Calendar

I want to drag a contact name and phone number to reminder but can't figure out how to do it. I can drag it to Calendar but then it wants to send an email invite to a meeting which I do not want to do. I just want to make a quick list of phone calls with links to the contact card. Any way to do this?
Thank you
jac

You can copy and past information into a calendar event or reminder, but not the contact itself.
You can share reminder lists as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm4bb3fa6e.
