Calendar changes colour on its own

Starting about a month ago, the calendar app on OS X kept changing my blue calendar into purple for no apparent reason.
I've changed it back to blue every now and then and it worked, but today it's especially stubborn and keeps changing the colour back to purple right away.
The problem seems to be that when my calendar syncs with the iCloud, the colour information on OS X is overriden by the iCloud. God knows what changed the colour of my blue calendar on the iCloud.
Initially I wanted to submit this issue to bugreport.apple.com, but there's a bug in the bug reporter, causing an unknown error each time I try to log in, so I'm resorting to this forum. Any help will be appreciated.

Same here.  My orange calendar turned purple and my red one turned blue and I can't change them back. 
Also noticed that when I am displaying my reminders that are due today, (current date selected), and I try to change the colour of my calendar, the display changes to one of the defined lists.  This is repeatable.
Something strange is afoot at the Circle K.

  • Calendar changing color on its own

    Hi,
    for a couple of days now (possibly since the last software update) my calendar has been changing the color assigned to the private calendar (which is set to be the default calendar) on its own. I always had it in green (which used to be the default setting) and now it's some kind of turquoise. I change it to green (by right-clicking on the calendar, going to "Get Info" and changing the color) and a few minutes later is turquoise again. It's driving me nuts, not because the color annoys me, but because it does this change without me doing anything. Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    F.

    A lot of people are experiencing this - look at the 'More Like This' box to the right.
    In one of the discussions, someone posted they had talked to Apple and Apple is aware of the problem and working on a fix.

  • Ipod touch is skipping and changing songs on its own

    My ipod  touch skips like a scratched cd and changes songs on its own when i am outside with it.  I usually take it to the pool and listen while i'm laying out but recently it started doing this.  I don't let sunlight hit it directly i have it covered by my leg or a towel.  When i come home it starts working again.  Is this a common problem and i cannot take it outside when it is hot, or do i have a defective one?

    - Do you have the headphones with a remote? Sometime there is problems with sporatic signals from the remote especially with moisture/high humidity.
    - Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If still problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ICloud calendars changed colors on their own

    iCloud has changed the colors on my calendars on its own and won't let me change them back.  Anyone else having this problem?  Anyone know of a fix?

    Please just have a look in the Support Communites and you will find multiple threads discussing the exact same issue. I would assume that it is a bug and Apple will solve this issue with an upcoming software update.

  • TS2784 I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic New York time. Throughout the day the clock keeps changing times on its own by hours. Sometimes in is correct. Sometimes it is wrong.

    I have set my iphone5 time settings to automatic at New York time. Throughout the day the date and time on the phone keeps changing on its own and often by a few hours. Sometimes it goes to the correct time. Sometimes it is way out. Is there something wrong with my settings?

    This is a known issue with the iPhone 5. Turn off the automatic time setting for the time being. It will most likely be corrected in an upcoming update to iOS if the tech press is to be believed.

  • Why does the color on my calendar keeps changing colors on its own

    I have several color coded calendars for each family members.  My daugther's calendar all of a sudden changed from green to blue (which is my son's) by itself.  I changed it back to green and it automatically changed back to blue again.   This happened once before a while back and after I keep changing back the color, it corrected itself eventually.
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it permanently?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Same problem on top of regularly dropping WIFI when all of my other devices have no problem.
    Owned this laptop since FEB 2014. My worst experience with a laptop to date. Wish I'd bought ASUS now which I also considered before buying.Another family member bought ASUS & no issues.

  • Email flag changes color on its own

    In mail, I use different colour flags to mark different email; i.e red for urgent, green for information, blue for casual. But the flagged email kept on changing to red colour flags. Is it a bug? Can I solve this on my own by changing any settings?

  • Difficulty changing colours on my own navigation bar

    Hi,
    I am using iWeb 1.1.2. I have created my own navigation bar and want to change the colours,
    style, hover, visited options on it .. iWeb doesn't allow me to do this so I have tried to do it
    through the generated css. The problem is that sometimes when I generate css, there is no
    visited, hover code etc.. in it .. it seems to do the stuff graphically using a shapeimage3rollover
    file .. instead of through css .. then other times, it does generate code with visited, hover code in
    the css .. I have played around with this and cannot figure out what it is upto ..
    Anyone encounter this before?
    Should I just upgrade to iWeb 2.x ..
    Thanks,
    Killora

    You're in the iWeb 08 forum now.
    In iWeb 08 you can change the link colors in the Inspector.

  • IChat changing Status on its own

    I have now had a number of events where I set my iChat Status to "Away" or a custom "In Conference", and it shows that on my Buddy List, but the rest of the world sees something different.
    When they then, based on what they see as my Status, invite me to a video chat, I can look at my Status to see that it has been changed to a Red square icon and the word "Available next to that, WITHOUT ANY ACTION ON MY PART. My status has change to something other than what I set it at.
    My buddies see something other than Away or In Conference. My Status on my buddy list is different than what my status shows on their buddy list. How can that be???
    It happens often enough that I have taken to using the Invisible option to avoid misleading them. I should not have to do this.
    Is anyone else seeing this?

    Hi grandpa,
    Yes Unfortunately we know about this one.
    From any AIM logged in Screen Name changing the Status Message in the Buddy list does not work as it should.
    You see in your Buddy List what you chose.
    What Your Buddies see is the Last Message (if there was one) and the last Status colour.
    So you can get it to Show a Message of Away but with a green Available Blob.
    You can also do it the other way.
    Two main work arounds.
    In Leopard setting the stats in a Jabber or Bonjour Buddy list works as they all display the same.
    For Snow Leopard and Leopard using the Menu Bar incon to set the messages works.

  • The radio changes stations on its own

    The radio just changes stations by itself - it is irritating...i'm trying to study to nice, mellow music and all the sudden I get celtic fling music.....which is fine if I'm drinking a guiness, not so good if I'm trying to concentrate!

  • I made a slideshow on iphoto and exported it to itunes. The original on iphoto seems to have changed (all on its own)! and I want to export the original back to iphoto so that i can burn it to a dvd. How do I export it back?!!

    I recently made a slideshow and exported it to itunes. The original slideshow that is saved in iphoto has changed, all on it's own!! The photos are different and in a different order.....not sure how that has happened! However, the one on itunes is how it should be and I want to get it back into iphoto so that I can burn it onto a dvd. Can someone tell me how to get my slideshow back into iphoto from itunes please? And any ideas why my original in iphoto has changed?!!! Many thanks.

  • Ios 7.4  nightmares. When idle and charging my screens move on their own, types jibberish on its own and sends the jibberish as a text message to random callers, changes sounds on its own.  And that's not all!!!

    The ios7.04 download for my iphone 4s has tuned the phone into a nightmare. Battery charging time is 3x what it used to be, battery drains after 4 hours whether I talking or phone is idle. I can no longer hear the phone when it rings. Here is the dealbreaker:When idle, untouched and charging the screens move on their own, type jibberish on their own and send the jibberish via text to a random selection of my contacts. The phone is charging now and I am watching the screen move to the alarm stopwatch screen. It  From there is has moved to the Sounds screen and has changed my ring tone twice. (It plays the tones as well.). My hands are not on the phone at the time and the homescreen is visible when charging begins. I have turned off so many components of the phone that there is simply no longer any reason to walk around with what has become a functionless burden. The most obvious solution is to say goodbye to Apple and go back to the brand I was using before. Thought I's give this forum one last shot. For the life of me I can not understand why so many of us have so many complaints about our devices yet no one takes the path of least resistance...which is to simply switch to a brand that is reliable. I never had any problems with a cell phone until I switched to Apple.

    Thank you. I called my carrier and told them that the i704 os made my phone unusable and that the support in the forums is populated by children like yourself who make nasty comments and provide no support, I was released from my contract. Free at last from rotten Apple and shmucks like you.

  • AS3 in timeline - variable changes value on its own

    I've just started working with Flash CS4 and Actionscript 3 after being away from Flash for almost 10 years.
    I've set up a menu that allows users to select from five sections. When users select an option, flow goes to the corresponding section of the timeline and a movieclip plays. Stop actions prevent flow from continuing past the current section. A home button takes users back to the menu in the first frame. This works just fine.
    The client wants to provide a 'next' button which should play through all sections in sequence when the learner clicks it. I've defined a variable which I set to true when the user clicks 'next'. I've added if...else logic to the stop actions:
      trace("nextClicked "+nextClicked);
      if (nextClicked == true)
          play();
      else
          stop();
    This should stop flow unless the play button has been pressed setting the variable nextClicked to true. That's not what happens - flow stops even if when I click the 'next' button. I added the trace to verify the variable has the correct value and discovered that the variable value resets to false from true before it gets to this script.
    What am I missing about ActionScript 3 that might account for this behaviour? I have tried to read the Actionscript 3 materials but I get bogged down in the complexity of the programming requirements and the lack of depth in the examples provided. I'm sure the examples are perfectly adequate if you're trying to do what they illustrate but I haven't found an example that fits what I'm trying to do here.
    Thanks.

    Thank you for your suggestion:
    I have declared the variable at the beginning. This is a sample of the code in the first frame:
    //define variable
    var nextClicked:Boolean;
    //define event listeners and the corresponding functions for menu buttons
    //Me
    btn_me.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, gotome);
    function gotome(event:MouseEvent):void {
        //set var to false to indicate Next has not been clicked
        var nextClicked = false;
        trace("Me selected "+nextClicked);
        gotoAndPlay("me");
    [.....more code defining more listeners...]
    //define listener for Next button
    btn_next.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,gonext);
    function gonext(event:MouseEvent):void {
        //set var to true to indicate Next has been clicked
        var nextClicked=true;
        trace("Clicked next "+nextClicked);
        play();
    This seems very similar to what you suggested except you also included this line:
    Button1.label = "show Var";
    and I'm not sure what that line does. Does it set a label for the button? Since I've already set these explicitly, I don't see that this would be necessary. More importantly, I don't understand why leaving this out would cause the problem I'm having - the value of the variable changes from true to false without any code being executed.
    I'm still in the dark - and I still need to solve this.
    Thanks.

  • IPod Touch changing songs on its own

    My iPod Touch 4G randomly shuffles songs every 5 seconds. Here is what happens.
    I got to play a song, and then about 5 - 10 seconds later, the song shuffles to another song, and picks up at the exact time the other song stopped playing. (example: Song 1 stops suddenly at 0:05 seconds, and Song 2 starts at 0:05, then Song 2 will stop at 0:xx, and then Song 3 will start at 0:xx).
    Another note for the song changes, is that when it changes, it makes a sort of "ripping noise", sort of like a noise a zipper makes when you pull it up.
    This happens quite often with the album Recovery by Eminem, and I don't think other albums have done this.
    Don't tell me it is the "shake to shuffle" because I have my iPod lying FLAT on a table, i'm not touching it, there is no movement, and it will do it.
    Thanks!

    I am searching for the answer to this as I am having the same problem. It's frustrating when you want to hear a song and can only get 5 seconds before it changes. What I have noticed is when I am home and having it laying flat, it works fine. However, if I have my ipod in my coat pocket and I get close to work (hospital) that's when it starts. Not sure if it's trying to pick up as signal from the hospital. I have my wifi setting turned off though. Not sure what else to do.

  • My iphone 5s keeps changing time on its own and keeps disconnecting from the wifi and cellular data. All other devices are connected and working. Is it a virus?

    What can i do to fix it? My husband suggests I reset my phone but I'm afraid my data will be wiped off an that would be of total waste if the problem doesn't even get solved. Your help would be much appreciated!

    There is no known malware capable of infecting an iPhone that has not been jailbroken (ie, hacked to allow apps from outside the App Store). If you have jailbroken it, you have exposed yourself to malware, and should restore the phone to factory defaults, without restoring a backup. All data will be lost, but that is unavoidable.
    Most likely, you haven't jailbroken it, in which case you don't have to worry about malware. In that case, it's hard to say what's going on, but there are some things you can try.
    First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.
