Wishlist - tighter contact, calendar, sms and email integration

Here are three things that would make me a very happy 3Gs user:
o From contacts, extra button at bottom (next to "Text Message", "Share Contact" and "Add to Favorites") that says "Create Event." This would jump you to the new calendar event page with the Title and Location already filled in.
o From Calendar, if an event was created from the contacts, or the title matches a contact record, going to the event record will show a new button at the bottom "Find Contact" or "View Contact" or something that will bring you back to the contact record. This will allow us to use the address mapping feature and make calls, texts, etc.
o Somehow, from within the SMS app, allow us to "View Contact" or "Make Phonecall" so that you can switch to a call if the text message convo gets lengthy and warrants a call. Perhaps also "Send email" if the record has an email address.
Bringing these three communication features (and maybe email too -- add another bullet point above for enter/exit integration with email) closer together will make this phone OS stand out. As it is there is pretty tight integration. Increasing that integration would be great.
Thanks,
Mik

Your wish of being able to call or go to a contact from the SMS window is already there. In order to see it, you need to tap the name of the person at the top of the SMS window. This causes the SMS window to scroll to the top and voila, there's the buttons you're asking for.
As for the create event and calendar thing, I'm not sure how it would fill out the Title of the event when you click on it from a contact. But it's certainly a nice thing if you need to add a person to an event quickly.

    I already tried rebooting, and I tried hooking it up to itunes as well, no luck there either.

    Try to reset all settings.
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.  It won't delete your data.
    When you say reboot, do you mean you pressed the home and sleep button at the same time until it restarted? 

  • Problems: iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 not allowing sync of contacts, calendar, remainders and notes

    I just installed Outlook 2013 today. Initally it was showing contacts calendars from my iCloud. Then i got a message that I could not have two outlooks on the computer and I needed to remove one of them. I did take off outlook 2007. Now the control panel does not give me an option to sync with outlook at all. It just tells me that mail contacts calendars reminders and notes are avilable at icloud.com.
    I hope to be able to get control panel and outlook to talk nicely again soon.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a similar issue. I installed Office 2013 yesterday. iCloud 2.1.1.3 I thought was working - I could see the Add-On in Outlook and my contacts were showing correctly under people but it showed in the iCloud control panel that my email for icloud was not connected. I tried removing my iCloud account from Outlook with the intent to reconnect it via the iCloud Control Panel. Bad idea apparently--anytime I try loading the iCloud Control Panel it crashes office. I have reintalled the control panel, tried the office repair, tried enabling / disabling the add-ons, tired a seperate test Outlook profile--nothing works- I am no longer able to integrate the icloud features into Outlook.
    I am using Win 7 x64 SP1 with Office 2013 x32. iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1.3
    Update: I tried rolling back to a restore point from yesterday to at least get my contacts functioning again. No Luck- the accounts are there again but they are not connected and can't be opened. iCloud Control Panel still crashes Office/Outlook as seen above anytime I try to open it

  • After upgrading to iOS 5, I lost my contacts, calendar entries, and Notes on my iPhone 3GS (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    Yikes! After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5, I lost my Contacts, calendar entries, and Notes (100+) on my iPhone (3 years old). How do I retrieve them? My last backup/sync to iTunes acct was Sept 18 but yesterday's backup bombed due to lack of space on my C: drive.

    This happened to me too but it was really all there.  Go to your calendar, click on calendar in the upper left hand corner, click on show all calendars, click done in the right upper corner.  Everything should show up!!!
    I was super thrilled.  Hope this works for you!!

  • Calendar Server and Email Server on Same Machine - Email Issue

    Hi.
    I've installed email and calendar on the same host. The email domain for test purposes is the name of the machine. I noticed in the configuration guide, it says that if you put the calendar server and email server on the same machine you need to configure sendmail.cf and modify incoming rules in order to get email reminders from Calendar to Email. I have done this but am still not able to. I get the emails kicked back to root and they say:
    553 5.3.5 System Config Errors
    553 5.3.5 <machine name> config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?)
    Has someone seen this before?
    Thank You,
    Matt

    Hi Russ,
    We have the same problem as Matt.
    We have properly set up OCS Email it works well both inside and outside our network.
    The only thing that appears not to be working is the email notification capabilities of OCS Calendar.
    We have changed sendmail.cf as stated in the documentantion.
    we are using -
    RedHat Advanced Server 2.1,
    sendmail 8.11.6
    bind 9.1.3
    I would be very gratefull of any information on this, as we're out of ideas...

    I found this application called Fonelink:

  • We just bought our boys iPad minis.  We have a "family ipad" now with lots of music and apps the boys love.  Will syncing them to icloud cause a nightmare with calendars, music, and emails etc being shared?

    We just bought our children 2 ipad minis.  We have a "family ipad" now that contains lots of their apps, music, books etc.  I am afraid to connect the minis to icloud for fear they will also sync our calendars, email, etc.  Does anyone have experience with a family using icloud and do you recommend starting over with everyone having their own account or merging the family?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
