Why aren't invitees to an ical event auto adding from my address book - I have to add manually?

HI, When I add invtees to an event in ical, it only adds from a the list of people previously added to an event rather than accessing my whole address book.  I have to manually add their emails?  Drives me nuts.

I just figured out how to add the invitee option to your iphone 4 without using Exchange!
-You must have Mobileme
-Download the most recent upgrades for apple for your iphone & computer/laptop
-Login to your Mobileme account online
-download the new Beta version of the mobileme calendar
...allow the few minutes for everything to update and poof! you should have the invitees & availability option on your iphone 4! oh thank heaven!

  • Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    Can anybody help please How do I Format address panel in iCal to show Department from the address book. At the moment it is showing 'Job Title' even though that has been removed in Address Book.

    I have a similar problem. I actually spoke with a Paypal customer Representative a few months back who informed me that they had deleted all of my previous *Hidden* Address but when I just purchased an item today on a online merchant's site that I had never been to before and checked out using their Paypal option, I noticed that my default shipping address was in fact my old address and when I went to change the address to my current address, I noticed all of the old addresses I ever used were still there. I've just spoken with 2 separate paypal representatives who confirmed on their end that all of the old address have been deleted and the only one they have on file is my current address. Can anyone provide me an explanation as to why the old hidden address can still be showing up when I check out on merchant's sites using paypal even after they've seemingly been deleted? The last Representative suggested clearing out my browser's cache, but I don't believe that will resolve my issue. Thank you in advance.

  • Is it possible to link iCal Events to my contacts in address book?

    Hi,
    I need to keep a note of all meetings I have with my contacts. Is there any facility to link meetings to contacts?
    The same question also applies to my tasks / to do lists. I need the facility to link these to each contact specifically.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You can use URL style links to for your Address Book contacts. These are made of the text "addressbook://" and the unique identifier of the person's card.
    I wrote an Applescript that copies the URL for the selected person to the clipboard. Look for the item *'Link to Address Book'* on this page. The script is compiled as an application, so just involves selecting the person and clicking the application.
    Best wishes

  • Why can't I edit an iCal event on my iPod

    Why can't I edit an iCal event on my iPod?  I entered it on my iMac desktop machine, but when I try to edit it on my iPod no edit button appears. 

    What is the source of the videos?
    The 2G can only play/sync SD. videos.

  • Why Won't ICal add attendees from my Address Book

    My understanding is that if a contact is in my address book then I should be able to invite them to attend an event. However, when I enter the event in edit mode and move to the add attendee field and type in the name of the attendee it just stays there as text - it doesn't enter the name from the address book. This has only started happening recently - any feedback is most welcome

    Greetings Kevin,
    Unfortunately you are running into one of the limitations of running the new MobileMe calendar under Leopard 10.5.  While it does not mention this behavior specifically this is a good article to read: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
    I tried adding my own MobileMe account to a 10.5 system and had the same experience you indicated.  Under 10.6 I am able to add attendees from my Addressbook without issue.
    You have two options at this point:
    1. Upgrade your system to 10.6 (if your computer has an Intel processor Apple > About this Mac) as the afore mentioned article suggests -- http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    2. Stop using MobileMe and use your calendars in the "On My Mac" section.  These calendars will not sync with MobileMe but will feed off the Addressbook in the manner you describe.
    3. Chat with MobileMe support to confirm this behavior you and I are experiencing is "intended". -- I'm fairly confident it is but it doesn't hurt to check. -- http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
    Sorry I don't have a fix for you beyond upgrading to the current version of the Mac OS.  Hope that information helps.
    Cheers.

  • Why won't my Mac with Mt Lion update my calendar and address book through iCloud

    Why won't my Mac w Mt Lion update mt Calendar and Address book through the Icloud?

    Are you really still running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) as shown in your profile? If so, that's why. Full use of iCloud needs at least Lion 10.7.2 or Mountain Lion.
    If you have upgraded to Mountain Lion and forgot to update your profile, here are some things to check:
    Is it on a network?
    Is it signed into iCloud? The same iCloud Account?
    Are Contacts and "Calendars & Reminders" checked in the iCloud and same account's "Mail, Contacts & Calendars" panels of System Preferences?
    Are you looking at the correct accounts in Calendar and Contacts?

  • Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? Many thanks.

    Why I can only download 20 photos for last month from the photostream while I have more than 3GB photos kept in iCloud? My iPhone was stolen and the photos in it are very precious to me. Many thanks.

    On a new device you can only download what is currently stored in "My Photo Stream" in iCloud. iCloud keeps up to the last 1000 photos, but only the photos, that have been added during the last month. Older photos may be removed, when the time is up. On other devices you may be seeing older photos as well in "My Photo Stream", that will depend on the available storage on those devices, and when the Photo Stream has been enabled on those devices, see:  My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    If you are seeing other photos in the Photo Stream on other devices, that you want to save, mail them to you from the other devices.
    Have you tried to restore your iPhone from the last iCloud backup of the old phone? The backup will contain the photos in the Camera Roll, but not the photos in Photo Stream.   iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • How to make an appointment with a contact from the address book directly to iCal

    What is the easiest way to make an appointment with a contact from the address book. My idea is that once you identify a contact down the bottom where it has Text message Share contact, add to favorites it would be nice if it had make appointment in iCal. The open up iCal to todays date and go from there with all the relevant details?

    In the Print dialogue box select Lists in the Style drop down box.

  • Problem with iCal events after waking from sleep mode

    I have a daily iCal reminder that starts playing a playlist in iTunes at 6:00 am. However, if I leave the computer in sleep mode at night, and then manually wake the computer (BEFORE 6:00 am), the iCal event won't play on time...it's delayed 20-30 minutes. Any ideas why?

    Have you tried it with a different mouse? I'm no expert, but you might want to find out, if the problem is mouse-specific.

  • How can I tell when an ical event was added?

    I'm on a shared ical calendar and there are times when 2 events have been put on at the same time.  How can I tell when the event was added and by who?
    Thanks!

    If there is a legal issue I am sure Apple would properly respond if the records were subpoenaed, but short of that I do not know of a way. 

  • Scheduling iCal Activities from/in Address Book

    Can I schedule activities, calls and to do's in Apple's address book application? Or only in iCal? If only in iCal, the suite does not integrate totally as Apple claims.
    John Gibbs

    No, but ...
    If you enter a contact's birthday details in Address Book it will appear as an event in iCal.
    If you drag a contact from Address Book and drop it on iCal it creates a meeting event with that person at the dropped date and time.
    If you have a meeting event you can select an attendee and bring up their details in Address Book (oops, that bit seems to be broken on my machine).

  • My ical is not syncing from my mac book to my iphone, where do I start? thanks

    my ical is not syncing from my macbook to my iphone, where do i begin?

    It sounds like when you are adding an event to your iCal (on your computer) it is adding it only to your "local" calendar, and not your iCloud calendar.
    For example, this is a screenshot of the list of my calendars in iCloud.
    Ensure that your iCloud calendar is the default by...
    Open iCal
    Go to Preferences > General
    Select your "Default Calendar" (towards the middle of the window)
    Cheers!

  • Can't set alarm in ical with email. tells me open address book but can't get anything to happen

    using version 4.0 I was able to just a few days ago set an alarm in Ical using my email address, but now i can not.   I open alarm and click on email and it tells me to open address book and select my card and email.  I can open the address book and find my card and email but i don't know where to go from here..  not sure what has happened over the last couple of days for it not to work.  any idea's how to get this working again. 

    Ron,
    Open Address Book, find your card and make sure that you choose Card>Make This My Card.
    If that is unsuccessful, delete and recreate your card, making sure to once again choose "Make This My Card."

  • HT3952 Why can't Address Book allow me to add "spouse" to the print job?

    I can add "spouse" to a card, so why can't Address Book allow me to print the name on the card plus the spouse name? So if I try to print "Ravi" I have the option in the print dialogue to add "Mei"? Seems simple, even Word can do it.

    Hi,
    It doesn't look like the "Country" field on the cards need to match.  I changed one of the spouses to a different country and the label (as shown in the print dialogue panel as you suggested) still shows "John Smith and Jane Doe."  Most of my country fields are blank.
    It does matter that the Country Code be the same for both.  After selecting the card and clicking on edit, the Country Code can be checked or changed by clicking on the address label (home, work, etc.) and moving the mouse down to "Change Address Format..."  You'll see a long list of countries.  If the cards for Jane and John don't have the same country code, the label won't show both names.
    The lines of code like:
         <key>us</key>
         <true/>
    in the ABRelatedNamesConfig.plist file determine which countries the related names functionality will work in.  Using the plist shown in an earlier post, they need to live in ca (Canada), uk (United Kingdom), us (United States), or fr (France) and both need be be in the same one.  Adding other country codes to the plist file should enable that country to work as well (I haven't tried it).
    The related names functionality was removed with the release of Snow Leopard (10.6) so I've editied the plist file in 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.  All have worked.
    The only other thing I noticed is that the following two lines shown in the earlier post are really one line in the plist file.
    As shown in the earlier post, the code:
         
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    is really all on one line.  Here is a screen shot of my plist file as viewed in TextWrangler:
    The good news is we have 358 days to figure this out before Christmas.
