Why aren't Calendar categories colored in month view

On the iPhone 5S under iOS 7.0.4 in the Calendar app, in the month view, existting daily events are indicated by gray dots.  Why aren't these dots colored according to the event category?  My recollection is that used to be the case prior to iOS 7.0.  In day or week view, the time or full day are showing the respective category color.  And on the iPad Air, under iOS 7.0.4, the calendar month view DOES show the category color in the dot! Did Apple forget about this functionality?  I can see there is an event, but not the categories I used (medical, travel, etc).

Comparing this functionality between a larger format such as the iPad and the smaller format on the iPhone is a little like apples and oranges. The iPad in Month view has enough space on each day to show discrete entries - and can consequently show them in their respective calendar colors.On the Phone, it only has space to indicate that one or more events exist (represented by a single dot). If you have more than one event, in different categories, which category color should it display?

  • Why aren't calendar entries local?

    I sync my iPhone with iTunes regularly.  Why then when I need to look at my calendar does it go off and look elsewhere instead of having the synced information local on the iPhone?  I want this to stop.  I won't be able to use MobileMe much longer and for sure not iCloud except for personal email, so I need to fix this.
    Thanks.

  • Why are my calendars changing colors?

    This has been happening occasionally over the past 6 months: the various calendars I have created in Calendar suddenly change colors from what I set. I can go in and reset them, but the reset doesn't stick; the next time I open Calendar, the calendar events have changed to bizarre colors again. Then in a week or two, as suddenly as it started, the color changes stop and all is normal again.
    This does NOT affect my iCloud-synced iPhone or iPad calendars - their colors are what I originally intended. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.5.

    I just had the same problem.  I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
    Here's what I did:
    1.  Take your calendars offline in iCal
    2.  Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
    3.  Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
    4.  Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
    5.  Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
    6.  Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
    Good luck!

  • Why are my events in iCal NOT sorted by calendar? (in the month view))

    I use 5 calendars in iCal (iCloud).
    Even in iCloud beeing opened in a browser, the events are all mixed up. The events of "Calendar 1" are sometimes above those of "Calendar 2", sometimes below. Same thing with the other calendars. This causes much blindness in using iCal...
    When I use iCal, all events are also mixed up, but in a different order as they are in iCloud (browser).
    I think, it should be able to sort all events in the month view by the calendar in which they have been entered. Isn't this the purpose of beeing able to arrange the calendars in differents ways?
    Sorry for my bad english...
    I would be grateful for some help!

    no help?

  • Can i change the dot color IN MONTHLY VIEW

    On my ipad i can see the beginning of (for example: Jen's Birthd) each event i create in monthly view with IOS7 but in my iphone i get only gray dots.  The dots are fine but can i change the color to correspond to events or calendars?  I just uploaded a US holiday calendar and its dots are also gray so everthing is gray and i just know something is happening (not the importance of it) and have to click each day with a dot or flip it and see the week view which is just more confusing to me than the monthly.  Id like to only see the monthly if at all possible. 

    I understand.

  • TS3999 can't see times of my icloud calendar events when using month view...

    I use a macbook pro and like to view my icloud calendar using month view so I can see the whole month at a glance.
    It used to be that when I viewed my calendar using Google Chrome, the time of each event would show next to the event name. Recently, this changed and now the month view just shows the events, not the times. This is also true for my macbook ical - month view only shows events, no times.
    Is there an option to allow the times to show when using month view? I looked in preferences and didn't see one.
    Also, as a side note, I tested in Firefox and the times DO show when using month view. I just prefer using my ical or chrome, so would love to figure out a way to fix there.
    thanks for any help!

    I was able to see some posts after I made mine and I found the answer to the macbook ical issue.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/15378887#15378887
    would still love any input on the google chrome issue. If anyone knows how to show event times in chrome, I'd love to hear how!
    thanks.

  • IOS 5.0 Calendar without dots on month view

    I updated my iPod touch to the new 5.0 iOS, but the month view of calendar is now without the little dots on days with some event.
    So I have to tap day by day to check if there are events, or I have to use the week view or the day view, but not so convenient.
    Looks like I have no event for all the month.

  • IOS 5 calendar today refresh in month view

    Hello,
    I mostly use the monthly view in iPad calendar. Since iOS 5 the refresh of the today "blue box" at 00:00 am is not working anymore. The today blue box does not update at day change. I have to switch to another view like week or day and back to month to get it updated.
    Is it the same for you ? Any solution ?
    Thanks

  • Exchange Outlook Calendar categories Color

    Hi, I do not know if somebody already asked this question, but I still can figure it out.
    On my outlook 2007 calendar which is sync via exchange to my iPhone I have most of the events in Categories, each with different colors. But when I go to my iPhone any of them have the color/category that is assigned to them.
    Anybody knows why?
    Thanks.

    I had the same issue& here's the work-around:
    Now , i don't use exchange, so I am not sure if this is possible for you, but what I was go to the left hand side of Outlook, where you see "My Calendars".
    1. create new a new calendar for similar things (ex: Birthdays & Anniversaries). Follow this step so that you have a few different calendars, all corresponding to your colored categories.
    2. Go up to "View" & change the view to "category". Now drag & drop the categories that the color coded categories correspond to the NEW calendars.
    3. the new calendars may not correspond color wise, but at least they will be differentiated enough for you to decipher on your iPhone calendar.

  • Why did my calendars change colors?

  • Calendar App crashes in Month view

    I have noticed today that when I try to navigate forward through the months of the year from Feb using either page swiping or the navigation arrow > at the base of the app, the app crashes each and every time.
    A reboot has not resolved this. If the view is set to week, there are no problems, and navigating backwards is fine also (Feb>Jan).
    Has anyone else experienced this or can suggest a solution?
    Ipad2, 32gb, approx 6gb free.
    IOS 6.0.1

    Musky50's suggestion worked for me too.  It appears to be a clock change to summer time (the Americans change after us) and if you change all your April 1st All Day events to timed events this seems to work.  If you have subscribed calendars etc you will need to uncheck these as Events in a subscribed calendar can't be changed and some are All Day.  Someone somewhere else said that the update to 6.1 cured this problem.  I haven't done this yet so can't say.

  • IPad first gen Calendar will not show month view for March. When you go feb to march the pad goes back to the home screen. Apr etc are all there. March seems to have some problem always going to the home screen. How can I fix this

    I am haveing trouble with the calandar view on an iPad first gen. the month of March will not display , no matter how it is asked for the device drops out of calandar and defaults to the home screen. all other months display. Any fix suggestions welcome.

    Try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • Calendar Events Disappear In Month View

    This has occurred twice now since iOS 5 on my original iPad. My default view is Month and when I launched the app on these occasions it opened to all dates blank. Frightened me at first thinking iCloud had wiped all my events out of my calendars however I discovered that if I changed the view to year, week or whatever the events were all there and remained when I switched back to month. So far this has only happened on my iPad and not on our iPhones all running iOS 5 or on our computers syncing through iCloud. Has anyone else seen something similar?

    I was hoping this would be addressed in the iOS 5.0.1 update yesterday but the issue still persists. I opened my calendar app this morning and was greeted with a blank month once again. Of course, swiping to the next month and back repopulated it but it's really, really annoying to have to do that - especially considering that the calendar always worked flawlessly before the iOS 5 update.
    I've submitted another bug report and will keep my fingers crossed for the next update.

  • Calendar on I pad,monthly view,does anyone else find it unstable?

    I notice than when I move forward more than a few months my version always closes down. It does not do this in weekly or other views but as I usually find monthly suits my diary needs it is annoying.

    If it abends when you try to view March then try removing any all-day events from the calendar for the 1st April 2013 e.g. if you are syncing the calendar from somewhere else (e.g. Outlook on a PC or iCal/Calendar on a Mac) then change it to a timed event instead of all-day (if you don't sync your calendar from anywhere then try going into list view, go to 1st April and change any 'all day' events to times e.g. change Easter Monday to start at something like 4am) - it seems that there is a problem with all day events on that date which is when the clocks change due to daylight saving on the day before.

  • Calendar sharing color issue

    This is an issue that is strange.  It just doesn't make any sense.
    I have Droid X running 2.3.  I am running Google Calendar with shared Calendar.
    In the Month view, every calendar event is represented in the color blue.
    In the Weekly view, every calendar event is represented according to each Calendar's color.
    I have two Calendars for my setup.  Blue for me and Yellow for my wife. 
    So, the phone has the correct data.  Its just not showing it in 30 day view.
    This would be a very easy fix, if we can just default to the Weekly view. 
    Thats not an option either.
    Is there a fix on the way I hope?
    Also, along the same line...with my original Droid...we had corporate calendar and personal Calendar.
    Its missing on the Droid X.  Is that the issue?

    Hi,
    From your description, OWA works well, then the permission is suitable. I recommend you turn off cached mode on Outlook, restart Outlook and check the result. If it works well, then you can re-enable cached mode.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.
    Best regards,
