Calendar and Color coding events

In looking at all the stuff online, it shows that the calendar can display your events on the list in a color code? How do you get this to work? And does this match the color codes in Exchange?
Thanks,

The color codes are simply a different color for each new calendar you add. I have a mobile me account and it added a few new calendars and each calendar has it's own color so when you view them all it will show you the specific calendar color in which the event is from.

  • Calendar App: color coded events...

    Hello,
    Like most folks I have a number of calendars - home, personal projects, work, etc. Each is handily color coded in Calendar, which is great. So far, so good.
    However, in my *single* work calendar (which is served from a company account on Google so pulling in from my company Google Calendar account) I have multiple types of things going on: internal work and then differet clients work. To make sense of my work world I really need to color code my different clients and my company internal work.
    So the outcome I am looking for is to be able to color code locally on my MBP different events sourced from the same Google calendar.
    I can't see how to do this in Calendar (I'm on OSX 10.8.2 and Calendar 6.0 (1645)) and so far I haven't found a third party app that will do it either.
    Please can any one in the community advise:
    1. If this is possible how I achieve it (e.g. could I create several calendars locally all of which somehow aggregate up into my single Google work calendar so that my colleagues and clients can see a full and true pictue of availability at the Google level while I have segregated/color coded view of items locally on my MBP)?
    2. If this isn't possible in native Calendar app on OSX are there any apps out there that will allow this?
    Am I really the only person with this need? I can't believe so and I'm sure someone must have solved this issue already...
    Many thanks for your time and consideration of my issue.
    Regards,
    Richard

    It sounds like something that you should be able to do with AppleScript, but alas I'm not proficient enough to tell you how to do it. There used to be an Applescript guru that was a regular on here (Yvan), but I'm not sure if he's still active in the community.
    You could try searching google for applescripts related to calendar or iCal (its still called iCal in AppleScript's dictionaries list even on Mountain Lion) or try asking for help on MacScripter.

  • Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar

    Hi,
    Through SharePoint Client Object model, how to make color coded events on Sharepoint Calendar.
    Plese share your knowledge.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to make a color events Calendar.
    We can achieve it using the OOB method by creating the Calendars Overlay.
    http://summit7systems.com/color-code-calendar-events-in-sharepoint/
    You can also use the JavaScript to achieve it.

  • I have a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder app. There are also no "calendar" and "add an event" bottons on the Calendar App. Why?

    I just bought a new IPAD. There are no "list", "date," and "add a reminder" buttons on the Reminder App. There are also no  "calendar" and "add an event" buttons on the Calendar App. Why? Is there a way to add either a reminder or an event?

    For the reminders app - just tap on an open space on the ruled paper window under the heading in order to create a new reminder. Or tap on the + sign in the upper right corner of the app. You do not have the + sign on the app?
    For the calendars app to go Settings>iCloud>Calendars>On. Toggle the setting on and off and the + sign should appear in the lower right corner of the calendars app. Tap the + sign to create a new event.

  • I was trying to connect my ipad and iphone using icloud. After signing in on both devices I clicked merge. I went to check my calendar and all my events were gone. Is there any way I can get my events back?

    Check to see if they are on your calendar on icloud.com.  If they aren't, all you can do is try to restore to your last backup, although it isn't clear that calendar events are included in the iCloud backup.

  • Color coding events within a single calendar

    I need to color code different types of definable events within a single calendar, a feature I have with my old Now Up to Date calendar, but I'm trying to switch over to the Apple calendar.   I understand different calendars will themselves show up as different colors, but this is not what I need.
    Is there a way to do this? If not, is there a  3rd party calendar that is sync-able to multiple devices  that has this feature?
    I'm currently running  OS 10.8.5 on an iMac, 10.1 on a Macbook Air, and OSX 7 on an iPad. I'm waiting to upgrade all to the most recent OS when I am sure I won't need my old versions of software..
    Thanks!

    The color codes are simply a different color for each new calendar you add. I have a mobile me account and it added a few new calendars and each calendar has it's own color so when you view them all it will show you the specific calendar color in which the event is from.

  • Password Protecting Contacts and Color Coding Calendar

    I just got an iPhone today and was wondering if there is a way to password protect my contacts. Either all of them or certain records so that I will be prompted for a password before seeing a record (or all records). I had a Palm Centro before this and absolutely loved that feature since I could keep all my passwords in my phone and not have to worry about anyone else accessing them since the file was password protected.
    I haven't used the iCal much but is there a way to color code entries by event type (e.g. Birthday, appointment, meeting, etc.) This is another feature that my palm had that I really loved and was hoping I could duplicate it in some way on my iPhone

    The answer to your first question is no. You kept your various passwords with your contacts?
    Regarding iCal, you can create multiple calendars and have a different color for each. For example I have a Business and a Personal calendar with business and personal events separated. I can view all calendars combined or I can view an individual calendar by itself.
    The iPhone includes a Birthdays calendar that is linked to birthday entries for your contacts in Contacts. iCal includes the same linked to birthday entries for your contacts in the Address Book. The iPhone supports syncing calendars/calendar events with iCal and contacts with the Address Book on your Mac.

  • My wife tracks our kids on her I pad calendar by color coding each child. When she syncs with my  calendar they lose their color. Can we sync and see each others calendar and keep the different colors

    Can you sync calendars and keep the color coded entries of the original calendar

    When you say she syncs with your calendar, do you mean she shares your calendars through iCloud, she subscribes to your calendar, or something else?
    You can color-code your view of a shared or subscribed calendar the same way you color-code one of your own calendars. In the Calendar app, tap the Calendars button at upper left, tap the ">"-in-a-blue-circle next to the calendar, and select a new color.

  • Calendars disappear/ color-coding of calendars keeps changing

    I am using iCal and MobileMe to sync across two Macs. Here are my problems:
    - My events in iCal disappear -- all of them. I normally have five calendar categories (Home, Work, etc.), but often all of the calendars disappear along with the events. Quitting and restarting iCal tends to fix it, but this happens multiple times a day.
    - I keep changing the color labels for my calendars, and the labels don't stick. For example, if I make Home blue, often when I reopen iCal, it'll have changed to purple. I have a theory that the colors are set by the order in which the calendars appear in the left side of the screen (so I've tried to re-order them to my preference by dragging and dropping. This tends to make all of the calendars disappear (see above). Even when I change the color-coding, iCal overrides it. (One note on this: one of my calendars is published, and it's this calendar that constantly ends up at the top of the list and has its color label changed.)
    Greatly appreciate any help.

    I'm having a problem with calendar colors, too. It's slightly different. When I try to sync, I get a conflict notice and the sync does not work. The notice says that colors do not match (i.e. work is blue on the mac and another color on the me.com site). However, both of the calendars ARE BLUE! I've tried selecting the mac version and the me.com version. My choice appears to be accepted. I get a syncing message and then the conflict notice reappears and I am not able to sync. Thankfully, I can sync with iPhone. I spent about 2 hours on support chat and they were unable to resolve this problem. I've deleted calendars (such as birthday) and am down to personal and work. Still no luck.

  • Best Calendar App to connect to Google Calendar and color code appointments

    I am looking for a replacement calendar app that will connect to Google Calendar and allow me to color code individual appointments.  I have looked at a ton of apps in the app store but none of them talk about the color coding option I am looking for.  I don't want to do the trial and error thing and waste my time and money.

  • Navigation and Color Coding

    Hello Guys,
    I have got couple of design questions.
    1. I have a report with a view selector on it(Annual, quarter, month) that navigates to another report with the same view selector(annual quarter month) The problem I have is with the navigation landing pages.
    When i changed my report to quarter view from the annual view and then navigate to the report B I still land in ANNUAL view as that is the first view of the report. Users expect to land on quarter view directly based on what they select on the report A.
    So i was wondering if there is a way to control the view selector and column selector landing pages when navigation from report A to report B.
    2. This is regarding Color coding. I have three columns in my report Year, quarter, month with conditional color coding done on it(when year=09 then red, when month =jan then blue some thing like that). So now the report has both table and pivot view. The users want to see the color coding only on pivot but not on table. Is there a way to achieve that? I tried duplicating the columns and hiding in the table but hiding in the table will hide across all the views. So i am kind of stuck there as well.
    Can we control this?
    Any advice is appreciated
    thanks
    Prash

    Regarding 2) don't know how feasible this is since I can't see your report, but you can try this:
    1) For the columns that you want color-coded, put two instances in your Criteria mode. Now color code one each of those "dual columns" for your pivot table.
    2) For the "Table View" build another pivot table, but design it like a table, but this time using the "uncolor-coded" columns in that pivot table and keeping the other columns in the Excluded box.

  • Bug: Ovi Calendar and pre-1975 events

    I was quite puzzled to discover the hard way that OVI Calendar does not support events dated before 1/1/1975. Apparently not  all developers learned from the Y2K bug.
    Why do I need events in the past, you may ask. Well, to store birthdays/years.I have stored birthdays of my contacts as yearly repeated events in Outlook, starting from the day of birth. That's handy to remember their age. I first synchronised them with my phone (Nokia 5800) and everything went right. When I synchronised them with OVI, all events scheduled before 1975 got moved to December 2010 or January 2011 (day of month was preserved, though).
    This is a bug and users should be warned/informed.

    If I set MD-Soft Birthdays to create memo events rather than anniversary events for my contacts' birthdays, one-time-only memos are created for the current and next year and at least they are not moved to december.
    However, another strange behaviour/bug happens when syncing: the synced memo events appear in the online OVI calendar one day earlier, i.e. a memo scheduled in the device's calendar on 25 August (because that's the birthday date) will appear on OVI calendar on the 24 August. The memo is then not further synced with the calendar, i.e. if I delete the 25 Aug memo from the device's calendar, the corresponding (wrong) 24 Aug memo is not deleted from OVI and, vice versa, the 24 Aug memo is not synced back to device's calendar even if it appears in OVI.  Further, the wrong 24 Aug memo is then treated as an independent entry and synced back to the device.
    That's annoying, because besides not working, now I have to remove all those wrong events! Luckily, Birthdays allows to search and remove all events starting with '[B]' (not only those it created itself), which also takes care of the wrong memos that got synced back. Otherwise, since OVI Calendar does not allow to search for strings shorter than 4 characters [DOH!], I would have needed to delete them manually!

  • Vista and color coding

    I just had to buy a new laptop which is running Vista.  I am trying to install Palm software on to it but it isn't taking.  It keeps coming up FOUND NEW HARDWARE, then locate and install driver software -- but it won't do it.  Any idea why?  And I read that there is no color coding!  That's one of the best features~  has that changed?
    Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Community Forums.
    What version of Palm Desktop are you trying to install?  If you are referring to the new Palm Desktop 6.2 by Access, that is correct, there is no color coding on the desktop version.  It is frequently addressed here on the Forums.

    Hi All,
    I have requirement where i need to add new metadata and to use the new metadata column in the calendar for color coding. Please suggest how i can do this?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to color coding of calendar in SharePoint 2010
    To get this done efficiently, SharePoint’s built-in calendar overlays are the way to go.
    You can follow the steps as below:
    Customize category column in the calendar list
    Create views filtered by category column
    Create blank view where the category filters for NULL value
    Add the calendar overlays
    For more information, you can refer to:

    In addition, you can use code to achieve what you want. Please refer to:
