Adding a calendar to Calendar app

I was wondering how to "add" a calendar to the calendar app on iPad and iPhone 4. Also how to change event colors?

It's all done through iTunes. Set up your calendar on your iMac with the calendars you want, and then sync them to the iPad through iTunes or through MS Exchange.
Colors are a different story. While you can select colors for calendars on your iMac, you cannot select colors for the same colors on the iPad. There is no documentation on this, but empirical evidence from me and other users suggests that the colors for calendars on the iPad are assigned in a rotating order that is hard to control. By deleting and re-introducing calendars in a particuar order, I was successful in tricking my iPad to duplicate the color scheme I have on my iMac. However, I doubt I coud do it all over again.

Birthday's appearing twice in calendar app after adding to contacts

Hi all,
I recently started adding birthdays to my contacts on my phone. After doing this, each birthday appears twice in the calendar app (on the birthday calendar with gift icon). This also creates a duplicate of that contact in my contact list. These duplicates do not appear on iCloud.com, just my phone. Any ideas on how to resolve this?
PS - Using iPhone 4 running iOS 5
Thanks!

Check Settings > General > Restrictions, and check out Contacts toward the bottom under the privacy restrictions.
That sounds like the probable cause you cannot add contacts.
Regarding the iCloud behavior, that sounds like it got huge (35,000) because of incorporating other contacts (from social media, perhaps). Also contacts sync has nothing to do with iCloud behavior. The whole idea of keeping your contacts in the cloud is that once you change them on one device, they change everywhere. Specific syncs are not relevant.

Calendar app crashing when adding any event with repeat

On my thrive when I'm using the calendar app (the default android one) I can add one-time events just fine. However, when i try to add an event and select any repeat options (like weekly, monthly, etc), when I click "done" the app disappears (crashes). Strange though there is no force close message or anything. When I open the calendar again, I can confirm the repeat event was never added. I even tried a downloaded calendar app and while it did not crash it would still not enter any events with repeats. The "add event" dialogue just disappears and the event never appears on the calendar. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I am having the same problem. I my case I can never do a repeating event in the native calendar app, whether it's a new event or a modified one. Talked to support at Toshiba (multiple times) and they blamed it on the Android software. Suggested I download another calendar app from the market called "Ancal" which was a joke because it does not even support repeating events. I tried a few as others have. Since I'm using "myphoneexplorer" to sync my data with Outlook on my laptop vs. using google site for sync, I had to find one that works. I found that "Touch Calendar" (they have a free version you can test before buying) works great. All my existing events populated after install on the tablet. All you have to do is delete any repeating events you have in Outlook and do a sync, then any repeating events created via Outlook and/or your tablet sync perfectly.

Calendar app crashes on iPad after adding Google account

I just loaded my Gmail account on my iPad 2. The native mail app works fine but when I try to access the native calendar app, it flashes on for a second and turns off leaving back at the home screen. I deleted the account and went back to the app and it works fine (no sync with my Gmail calendar obviously). When I re-enter my Gmail credentials the app continues to crash. Thoughts?

SOLVED!!!!
Here was the answer:

News about the Calendar Syncing problem with iCloud!
First of all: Now it works! Yeah :-)
What I did:
1. Kill my iCloud account just on the iPhone. Not on the iMac, just on the iPhone. And I told the iPhone to kill all contacts etc. JUST on the iPhone.
2. Activate iCloud on the iPhone with my Apple-ID.
3. After about 3 Minutes all was back again! :-) Including all my calendars now! Yippieh...
That worked for me, I hope, it will help you.

Calendar App (not outlook calendar)

1. I have a windows phone 8 (lumia 920) and windows 8.1 PC they both have calendar apps that are both set up with the same windows/hotmail/outlook account. The seem to be able to update each other for example if i add something to the PC calendar the phone
also shows the event however for some reason it shows it on the wrong day (the next day). Example event added on PC for Wednesday shows up on Thursday on phone and if i add an event Thursday on phone shows up Wednesday on PC. Any ideas?
2. On the phone the calendar app allows me to add facebook and google calendars, the PC version doesn't seem to have these options (i cant add the accounts) is that right or am i missing somethings?
3. just a comment as a windows fan boy with a WP8, W8.1 PC and Xbox One the last year or two Microsoft has been a real disappointment, I'm looking forward to the Lumia 930 but i really hope Microsoft can pick
up there game.

Hi matt,
I am glad to provide the help as I can.
For your first question, due to lack the specific device for test, it’s hard to find the root cause.
I would recommend the following forum for you:
For your second question,
As of January 30, 2013, Google stopped supporting new EAS (Exchange ActiveSync) connections in some scenarios. This means you can no longer add or sync your Google calendar but you can see your events by moving them to Outlook.com.
For Facebook account, you can connect your Facebook account to your Microsoft account. To learn how, see How to add an account to your Microsoft account:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/windows-8/how-add-remove-account-microsoft-account
For the third question, Microsoft is trying to bring the seamless experience for customers, including Windows Phone, Windows PC and Xbox One, if you concern about the games, refer to this link:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/xbox-one
it needs time, but it is worth waiting.

Calendar app keeps freezing

I've got an ipad mini which I've had for a few months and have not had any problems until now. Every time I try to look at March 2013 in the calendar app it force closes. It doesn't have any problems on any other month or view (day, weekly etc even if its in march). If I hide all calendars it works again but even if I add a calendar which I know is empty is still freezes.
I've tried restarting, resyncing and removing and adding accounts such as google but with no luck. Anyone else had a problem? Or does this mean that the end of the world is in march?? Lol

Calendar App showing a new blank calendar that I can't delete or rename.

So suddenly my iPod has two separate calendars in the Calendar app, one identified with a red dot, the other with an orange dot, and I can neither delete nor rename this new second calendar. Both are named 'Calendar,' and I have the option to view either one or 'All.' The new one is blank; there are no events. I can see where having multiple calendars would be useful - for example, family stuff and work stuff could be on separate calendars - but not as much if I can't add, delete or rename these separate calendars.
I think this second blank calendar appeared today, after I added the Google App to my iPod, and also after I tried syncing my iPod calendar to Outlook (with no success, it seems - Outlook's calendar is blank).
Sorry if this is a stupid question - I've been looking online, and gone through the manual and all the settings - I can't find the solution.
Thanks!
Candace

Wayne,
Quit iCal, open Address Book, and click on your card. Then select Address Book>Card>Make this My Card.
If that does not fix the problem, then delete and recreate your card, and once again make sure to designate it with "Make this My Card.

Calendar app contains multiple entries for birthday calendar and Apple US Holiday's calendar.

After the most recent update, my calendar app began showing duplicate entries for all of my calendars (google, birthday and US Holidays). I deleted all of the google calendars from my phone and then added each calendar back to the phone one at a time. After doing this, there were no more duplicate entries for the google calendars. However, I have been unable to fix the duplicate entries for the Apple birthday calendar or the Apple US Holidays subscribed calendar. I tried restoring the iPhone, but that didn't work. I then tried to delete the birth date from various phone contacts, but even though I had removed the contact's birthday, the duplicate birthday entries on the calendar remained. I tried changing the contacts' birth date (i.e. altering the month or year), but that didn't update on the calendar either. I'm using an iPhone 5, ios 7.1.1. I do not sync any calendars with iCloud and when I show the birthdays calendar in iCloud, there are not any duplicate entries. Any suggestions?

Literally, no. You will not find a single identical application for all. Apps that are written for the iPhone and iPad have optimizations specific to those platforms, while computer programs will be at least slightly different as they will have optimized features specific to them.
You could look throught the APp store for something you like for the iOS devices, then check the developer's site to see if they also make something equivalent or near so for desktop and laptop computers.
The best you can find is separate applications (albeit maybe from one developer and designed to work as companion apps) that share data seemlessly somehow, but none will be without glitches at times - just the nature of anything that tries to syncronize multiple devices frequently over the internet.
I use Week Calendar on my iPhone and iPad, Calendar in OS X, and Outlook at work. I do not use iCloud to sync calendars, but use separate Google Calendars for personal, and work calendars, linked through my google accounts to those programs on all my devices. Its worked pretty well for the past 3 or 4 years for me. However, I do use google sync for the Outlook calendar, and you cannot get that any longer (google killed it off, but keeps it working for legacy users).
That's just my setup, but no single app or program exists that I could use for all that (or even just for the Apple machine's alone).

Calendar apps: 1. That my wife and I can share. 2. That shows some of the text in the full month view. 3. That can have "public" events and "private" events.

Hello All,
I am looking for a calendar app that my wife and I can share on both of our iphones. I am new to this and haven't found an app that will do what I want.
1. I want the full month view to show some of the text of each event: Like Pocket Informant and Monthly Calendar Mocha do (not just a dot).
2. That both of us can post and see each other's events.
3. That each of us can post "private" events that the other person won't see on their phone. Things like, "Wife's surprise party."
4. That sync's both calendars automatically.
I know a lot of people use Fantastical, but I don't think that would give me the text in the full month view.
Is there an app that can do all of the above?
Thanks in advance.
Rick

Sharing and syncing is a feature of the calendar database; you can have multiple calendars, and each can be private, shared with specific other iCloud users, or public. If you have a Mac you can set that up in the Calendar app; for either Mac or Windows you can set it up by logging in to iCloud.com using your Apple ID.
The other calendar apps all use the Apple calendar database; they just have different ways of presenting the content, and can also take advantage of "hidden" features of the Apple calendar database (such as adding icons to entries).

What is a great calendar app? Currently using iPad standard app but doesn't show times

I am looking for a calendar app that links to outlook exchange on my iPad. I am using the current standard app on the iPad and it doesn't show the times. Any suggestions?

Howdy squeakyred2,
If I understand correctly you are getting the alerts from the events that you are creating on your Calendar app, but they do not show in the app once they are created. It seems to me that the calendar you are adding them to may not be checked, thereby making it hidden. To check this, first open the Calendars app and tap Calendars at the bottom:
Calendar at a glance - iPhone
Then verify the calendars you have showing. It should look similar to this:
Use multiple calendars - iPhone
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

TS1702 The Calendar app that came on my i4S Phone does not sync the correct time for items posted on my Yahoo Calendar. Actually, they post exactly 4 hours earlier than the correct time on my Yahoo Calendar. Does anyone have a "fix" to correct the "time

The Calendar app that came on my i4S Phone does not sync the correct time for items posted on my Yahoo Calendar. Actually, items post exactly 4 hours earlier than the correct time on my Yahoo Calendar. My i4S is in the correct New York time zone. Help?

I posted this question a while ago and didn't receive any responses but there are a lot of people who have viewed it and 10 have said they have the same question so I thought I would update you that I added my nanny to my exchange server account (created an email for her) and I send all invites to that email address and they work. So sending invites from an exchange server account to a non-exchange server account apparently is a bug so to solve it, get on an exchange server I guess.

How do I delete the US holidays calendar app

I have two holiday apps on both my mac and my iPod. One is US Holidays & the other is Holidays in the United States. I must have added one by accident a while back. On my iMac Easter was listed twice both on April 5th. On my iPod it has Easter listed twice also, at least when I search. Easter is on the correct date in the Holidays in The United States app, but in the US Holidays app, it lists it as April 20. It's only there in the US Holidays app, when I do a search for Easter. I've edited my google calendar, thinking that perhaps I had two dates listed for Easter, and that iCloud was getting your wrong date from google. It also had two dates for Easter, but deleting theUS Holidays app, on google, made no difference. I just tried selecting the offending date, on both my iPod and computer, and when I did a search on my computer it suddenly added, another dates for Easter, April 20th in Holidays of The United States app, Sunday March 27 2015. Actually I had 4, but then one disappeared w/o me doing anything. Does anyone have any idea, how to delete the offending app, or could it be both apps, or possibly even my iCloud settings? I do often get mac alerts saying that "this mac cannot connect to iCloud, because of a problem. Open system preferences. Unfortunately I can never see anything wrong wt it. I'm not sure if these problems are related. Thank you so much for your help ...

Hi greenmind-
In the Calendar app sidebar, control-click on the calendar you want to get rid of and in the menu that appears, click on Delete. That should take care of it.

Problems with the Calendar App in iPhone 4S

I'm having a problem the Calendar app with an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3). I added a Google account with the company's domain (Microsoft Exchange option), but the calendar it's not available on the Calendar App list. I already tried to delete / restart / create the account, but so far I'm unable to see the Calendar in the list.
Any suggestions?

havent heard a thing from them
Tried any of these steps?
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.

Specify Calendar in Nokia Weather & Calendar app w...

I recently bought the DT-910. After some initial trouble adding the Nokia Accessories section to Settings (I found a QR code link in these forums to install it, because it doesn't appear in the Store and wasn't on my Lumia 928 otherwise), I was enjoying the Weather & Calendar screen saver for use with the DT-910.
However, it only lists calendar events from what I think must be my Windows Live Mail account. All I see are birthdays for LinkedIn contacts, which appear in my Live account. Useless. In fact, this calendar is turned OFF in the Windows Phone main Calendar app's settings precisely because it's useless data for me. I have 3 Exchange accounts which are the only calendars I want to see.
Does anyone know how to specify which calendar this app should use to populate its data? Ideally, it would use the calendar data as specified in the main Calendar's settings. But if it can't do that and can only show 1 calendar for some reason, then it should at least use one of my active calendars, not one that I've turned off.
I had posted a similar question over on wpcentral.com, and they suggested I post this directly on the Nokia forum. Any suggestions? Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone using the "Weather & Calendar" screen saver and not having this problem where it only shows the Windows Phone mail account's calendar?
Thanks,
Colin

Anyone? If anyone has purchased the DT-910 and if you're using Nokia's recommended app: the Weather & Calendar screen saver with more than the default MS account calendar, how did you tell it what calendar to use or did it automatically draw from all your calendars like the built-in Calendar app?

How to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar app on Yosemite?

I upgraded to Yosemite and one of the problems I had with Calendar App had something to do with Time Zone.
I realized that Calendar added California time as default. So now I want to delete the unwanted time zone, but cannot find a way to do so.
How does one remove or uncheck a time zone in iCal (Mountain Lion)?
I found this forum and tried, but as the last person who posted said, it doesn't work on Yosemite.
Does anyone know to delete unwanted timezones from Calendar App on Yosemite?
Thanks.

Thank you for your response.
However, I am not asking about how to change the timezone on Mac. I'm asking about how to delete unwanted timezones on Calendar app.
Here I have 2 Pacific Time's. They are basically the same, but sometimes my computer choses one of the other without my intention. And when it does, it keeps showing (PST) on next to the starting time which I do not want. In order to avoid that, I'd like to delete "Pacific Time (America/Los_Angeles)". From the link you provided, I'm not finding the solution to this. I might be looking at a wrong spot and if so please be patient to guide me through.
If my question still doesn't make sense, please click the link to the solution for the same problem on Mountain Lion in my original question. You might understand my question better from it.
Thank you.
