Why won't a contacts phone number appear in a new event added in calendar?

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.

Would you prefer that I request this post be moved into the Mac OS & System Software > Yosemite support community where you are likely to receive considerably more visibility and support to your email problem?
This current location is not heavily visited because it is for AppleWorks, the long since discontinued Apple Office productivity package.

  • I need your assistance​? Verizon won't port old phone number over to my new FIOS

    Need your help on resolving this issue with Verizon.  I switched from COX cable. Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 3 days ago.  I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and selected a new telephone number because I was told online that my old number cannot be ported over to new FIOS.
    Earlier today, I was contacting my friends for a new phone number and learned from them that it is violation of FCC regulation that the Verizon FIOS could not port my old number. They said that the Verizon should be able to port my old number... In my realization, I contacted Verizon customer service, but the rep said that the Verizon FIOS cannot do it because the installation is completed. 
    I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had years originally with Verizon and then Cox. 
    Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number to my Verizon FIOS?  Again, I was told by a Verizon rep or online during the sign up process that it can't be done and/or they won't do it.

  • Why can't I receive alerts when my partner include new events from shared calendar?

    I am able to share my calendar with my partner and he is able to receive alert whenever I add new event. However, I am unable to see future events which he includes and update in his calendar even though he has shared his calendar with me.
    I have checked and the settings in iCloud are there, yet it is still not working.
    Can anyone assist or have solution for this? Appreciate much!

    yes, calendar alerts are enabled and it is his default calendar which he has shared with me. I have checked all calendars checked under the app as well.

  • Phone number appearing in Favorites list but does not exist in Contacts

    I have an iPhone 4S, running iOS 5.1.1 (9B206).
    About two weeks ago (not really sure when I noticed) a phone number appeared at the bottom of my Favorites list. The number is for a person that I deleted from Contacts some months ago. The number is not in the Contact list anywhere, the contact does not exist. I've tried recreating the contact (and Favorites then shows the name) and then deleting the contact, and its still there in the Favorites list.
    There is a facetime icon next to the number. If I turn off Facetime, the number disappears.
    Any ideas welcome.

    Go under your phone icon, then under the favorites tab. Look in the top left hand corner of the screen and there should be an edit button.  Tap it, and then tap the red delete/minus icon to delete it from your favorites list.

  • My phone number appears on my daughters iTouch and she can receive my text messages.  If I need to creaye a new user account for her itouch, can i use the same iTunes account or do i need to create a new iTunes account?

    My phone number appears in my daughters list of acceptable numbers to receive texts or messages on her iTouch.
    I sync her iTouch on my iTunes account.
    Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for her to prevent this from happening?  or can i use the same itunes account and just create a separate a differne user name for the same itunes account?
    If i need to create a separate iTunes account, how can i save her data and game levels?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name.  But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name.  How do I fix this?

    Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
    If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

  • Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now?

    Anyone notice that text/iMessages are not listed by contact's name but the contact phone number now after 5.0.1?

    Yes, I just noticed this after upgrading to 5.0.1. That's why I came here to this forum. I tried re-syncing with address book, but it didn't help. Not only is my text messages only showing phone numbers, instead of contact names, but my call log is doing that as well.

  • How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    How come when I look at my text messages, my contacts' phone numbers appear instead of their contact names?

    If you're with Verizon, here's what I found on the boards:
    Dial *228, press 1 when the nice lady answers and wait until she tells you your phone has been successfully programmed.
    Then hang up, and press the home key twice rapidly and delete the open/running apps that appear there - delete from that second screen, NOT from the Dock at the bottom of your home screen!  You don't want to delete the programs, you just want to close the open/running apps.
    Wait 5 minutes or so, then voila!  Mine was fixed!

  • Trying to get the contact phone number on Verizon site and it is not working

    I am trying to call teh Customer Support number to discuss my Order, but when I go to the Contact Us page and click on the Call Us link, I get a pop-up asking for my zip code and then I am taken right back to the Contact US - no phone #'s given.   This feature worked when I used it last Friday during normal business hours.  
    I also tried the Live Chat link to see if I could engage a live person that way.   This time the link took me to a page that gave me the option of linking to the Support Knowledge base or accessing the automated customer support 'person' (which is just an FAQ interface).
    Help - how can I talk to a live person.    If live help (via phone or chat) is limited to certain hours, that should be posted.   user should not be given the virtual version of the run-around.
    Does anyone have the technical contact phone number for Maryland/DC region?

    1-800-VERIZON
    1-888-553-1555
    Both numbers feel like they hit the same place, and I know verizon has been consolidating all their numbers to the main one - so stick with that.

  • Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline.

      Hi, need help on resolving this issue with Verizon.  Had Verizon FIOS triple play installed at my house about 12 days ago.  HD Prime, 15/5 internet and Digital Voice landline.  I switched from TimeWarner cable.    I signed up online for Verizon FIOS and tried to use my current house  telephone number when signing up.  Next day I get a call from a Verizon rep telling me my order was lost even thou I had a confirmation number and that I would have to redo my online sign up.
     I wanted to keep my old telephone number that I had with TimeWarner and port it over to Verizon.  What I did to save my old house phone number was I ported my TimeWarner house telephone number over to an activated cellular Tracfone that I own.  So I resigned up online and selected a new telephone number and the order went thru and I had my FIOS installed at my house.
      What I have learned from talking with Verizon billing, is because my old telephone number  that I had with TimeWarner  had been originally given to me by Verizon many years back and then it was  ported over to TimeWarner from Verizon that Verizon now won't port the old number back over to my house landline  because they have already ported it out once years ago for me. 
      One suggested I create a new account, don't know it this can be done or not.  I got a really good price on the FIOS Triple Play bundle I had installed and don't want to loose the great Verizon FIOS price deal I have.
      Really frustrated at this point, being told before installation that I could keep my old phone number, spending a lot of time on the phone and then being told I can't do it after installation is completed.
      Any ideas on how to get or make Verizon port over my old telephone number I have on my Tracfone now to my Verizon FIOS landline?  I was told by a Verizon rep that it can't be done and they won't do it since the telephone number is my old Verizon phone number from many years ago that they ported out they won't port in back it now.   Wow, talk about a "Can't do" attitude.
      Any and all constructive input is welcomed.  Thanks for reading this.

  • Add a pause to contact phone number

    I add a pause to a contact phone number than add the extension and save, the problem is that the iphone does not dial the number. Any idea?

    Are you dialing from contacts/favorites or from an app? Apps cannot dial pauses.

  • Re: Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline

    I have been trying for six months to get my old copper wire phone number ported into FIOS, and have heard nothing but excuses and failure. I am paying two bills, one for FIOS and one for the copper wire line. In a thread earlier this year  titled "Help! Verizon won't port old phone number over to my FIOS house landline",  a user reported success in getting his old telephone number ported in to FIOS after filing a complaint with the FCC. Do I need to file a complaint with the FCC in order to get some action on this request?
