Calendar colors keeping changing to purple

one specific calendar keeps changing by itself to purple. even when i change it back to the color i want, it goes directly back to purple. this happens on my ipad and when accessing icloud on my mac book

It seems that my green work calendar is now purple as well.
In the past work was a light green and personal was a slightly different shade of green.  Now it is purple, not my favorite color but it is distinct.  It would be nice to pick you own colors
I am an ical user,  rarely do I sign in using icloud via the net however this is how all my devices are linked
This happened a while back and then reverted, if Apple would just have some notices of this at least we would know there is nothing wrong.  I am getting concerned that my data is not safe !

  • IPhone Calendar colors keep changing

    When I first began using my IPhone 3G, the calendar entries all synced as blue. Fine. About a week ago, they all synced as red. Strange that the color changed, but also fine. Yesterday, they synced as yellow. Not fine. I have a very hard time reading entries because the white lettering barely shows within the entries. Is there a way to go back to one of the other colors or at least to a more legible color? Thanks.

    dwbsf. If you go into your "mail, contacts, calendars" settings, then into your Exchange account you can turn the Calendar syncing on or off. If you turn it off, then back on, your calendar colors should return to the basic default color sequence, which hopefully will be colors that are more appealing (Red, Orange, Blue, etc.

  • Calendar colors keep changing

    I haven't seen a question about this posted since iOS 5 came out (and most seem to come from the last decade).
    I'm running iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2. I use both iCloud calendars and I subscribe to a number of Google calendars, as well. This problem only manifests itself with the subscribed calendars. I'm glad that you can finally customize the color of a subscribed calendar, but your choices don't stick. I want my work calendar to be red, my travel calendar to be blue, my personal calendar to be green, and a fourth orange. I have set these by clicking on the Calendars tab at the top to show the list of calendars, then tapping Edit, and then setting the colors.
    I don't know when it does this, but it will always change the colors to something else. And it's not consistent between the iPhone and iPad. So, for example, the work calendar, which I had set as red, is now purple on my iPad. It's green on my iPhone. I realize the color might not sync between devices, but if I set it as red on both, why is it changing them to something else?
    Only thing I can tell is perhaps it happened when the iPad's screen shut off, or maybe when it synced.
    Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

    I've got what i think is a pretty good fix to this.
    subscribing to calandars via iCal on your Mac is the way to go. you can subscribe, set the colour and tell it to push via iCloud to your iOS devices. they come through with the correct colour and stay that way.
    all good
    however, i can't seem to delete the subscribed calandars i have on my iPhone. every time i delete the subscription, they just come back in again! quite annoying, but at least you can untick it so that it doesn't show up. which it would go away for good though.
    much happier now i'm controlling everything through iCal and iCloud

  • HT2513 my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas?

    my iCal calendar that I created with the color green keeps changing to purple.  no matter how many times I change it to green, it turns it back to purple.  Of course this only happens with iCloud and not "from my Mac".  Any ideas on how to correct this?  This seems like a trivial error, but it's super annoying.

    I called Apple and they said that they know about this problem.  It's a problem with iCloud which their Engineers know about.  (there was a new iCloud release, hence...)  No ETA for a fix yet.  I asked that this be escalated so Engineering doesn't put it at the bottom of their fix list.  I talked to a Senior Advisor and mentioned to them to have QA check their regression tests as this has happened before to me (the problem just didn't take this long to resolve).  I like to use green too for important stuff, so I've resorted to creating a new calendar using the normal calendar green for events going forward.  They could have picked another color besides green to have this problem with and I wouldn't have been so upset.  ;-)

  • ICloud / Calendar app keeps changing my calendar colors

    I just noticed this happening two days ago, the calendar app on my iphone and macbook is changing the colors of my calendars at random. They're only cycling between two colors for each of the 3 calendars (the original color, green, orange, purple and the changed color of blue and purple). I have no idea why it's doing this. No one else has access to my icloud account, and so far I have not noticed any loss of data. I've backed everything up. The same thing is happening on my iphone as well.
    OSX 10.8.4, Cal version 6.0 (1648)
    It's more of a nuisiance, but I don't want to lose appointments if this is a sign of something else going on. Any ideas?

    sorry. please disregard. I did not check out the other threads about this issue.

  • Icloud calendar colors automatically changing

    On iOS 6 and 7 my icloud shared calendars are automatically changing as if they are on a rainbow timer. When I set it back to a different color, a few minutes later it just goes back and changes again. I really thought iOS7 would solve this. Any suggestions?

    Mine is doing the same thing. I though there would be one place where I could change it and it would push out to the others, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My primary calendar was Orange for the longest time, but now it keeps turning Purple.
    Here's where I've tried to change it:
    icloud.com via Safari 6 on OS X Lion
    iCal on OS X Lion
    Calendar App on iOS 7
    Sunrise Calendar on iOS 7
    On each one of these, I am able to change the color back to Orange, but within a minute or less, it is back to Purple. The only exception is iCal on Lion. It retains my color change even through calendar refreshes, but when the app is quit and relaunched, the changes have not persisted and the Orange calendar is now Purple again.

  • Shared iCloud calendar colour keeps changing

    I haven't had this problem for a while, but this week my the calendar my wife shares with me in iCloud keeps changing colour.
    I am running iOS 6.1.3 and we have had the shared calendars set up for ages. Now no matter what i do her calander displays as blue, even though it is yellow when i log into iCloud on the web.
    When I change to colour to purple on either my iPad or iPhone the colour changes on the web iCloud calendar but displays as blue in iCal on my mac, and in iCal on both my iPad and iPhone.
    I haven't added any other new calendars or accounts recently, so I have no idea why this is happening (again)
    Anyone else having this problem and/or found a solution?

    I started having this problem in late June. Both the names and colours for some of my shared calendars suddenly changed to the names and colours used by the calendar owners (instead of the names and colours that I have assigned to them). This had worked just fine ever since shared calendars became available until June, 2013. My Mom and my sister are having the same problem.
    I reported the problem to Apple support on July 3, and they ran through some troubleshooting with me. The names and colours are correct on the calendar app in Mountain Lion as well as iCloud.com through Safari on my Mac. However, when the calendar syncs to any iOS device, the namea and colours on SOME of the shared calendars change. This even occurs when setting up a brand new iPad for the first time.
    If I change the name and colour on either my iPhone or iPad, the change seems to sync back to iCloud, but, just a few seconds later, the calendar app on iOS begins syncing again and the names and colours change back.
    I spoke to two levels of support at Apple who were not able to resolve the problem. The second rep said the problem needed to be forwarded to an Apple engineer for investigation. It's now been over a month, and there has still been no response from their engineers. I've contacted Apple twice for an update, and they said the engineers still have not replied.

  • Photoshop CS6 - Color keeps changing

    I have Photoshop CS6 for Windows 7.
    Whenever I put the main color in and then switch it out for another color, the main color that's been used before keeps changing into a darker color instead of the same color tone it was taken from. I don't know if there's a problem with the RGB Color, or something else I need to check. Is there something that can fix this?

    Okay then. I mean when I use the Eyedropper Tool on the color that I had already put on a picture, the color becomes darker than what is shown when I use the Brush tool.
    Like when I put light red as the foreground color, then switch it out for another color, then used the Eyedropper tool to copy the light red color to use it again, the light red color instead becomes a slight darker red when I use the brush or other related tools I use to color in my picture.
    Hope this detail is clear enough.

  • IPhone Calendar keep resyncing, and the color keeps changing too.

    I have my iPhone syncing with our corporate exchange server. Everything was working well. I updated my phone to iOS 4 and a few weeks later I started to see issues.
    The calendar items are blue. They they all disappear. I see it re-syncing. Not everything shows up... The ones that do show up, are now red.
    The next time the red goes away, a re-sync happens, and now the calendar is purple.
    And so on through the rainbow...
    I seems that I keeps re-syncing and doesn't get everything when it does.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    I've had the same problem with a new iPhone 4 (the problem didn't manifest with my old phone upgraded to IOS4). Mail and Contacts are fine, but Calendar kept losing synchronization with the Exchange server.
    Set up the Exchange account and everything seemed fine. A day later most, but not all, of my exchange appointments were nowhere to be found. Deleted and recreated the Exchange account, calendar back ... but a day later poof all sorts of missing entries. Same symptoms in list view the original poster sees.
    This morning I changed the calendar Sync options from 1 month to 'All Events' and suddenly everything is good again with Calendar. (Initially, I saw the events in list view, but not in day or month view. Restarted the Calendar app and things are now fine in all 3 views)
    I have a lot of recurring appointments with exceptions. Several standing conference calls have original creation dates well over 6 months ago. The program manager sends status reports as an update to the calendar item, so almost every past appointment is in the system as an exception to the recurring event. The funny thing, though, was that I was seeing some of the recurring appointments, but not any of the individual items.
    Don't know for certain, but if I was a betting man I would bet the problem lies with the way IOS4 handles recurrence and exceptions.
    I also don't know if this "fix" will hold up. The last couple of times I got Calendar in sync, it went out of whack within 24 hours. I'll update in a day or so if things hold up.

  • CMYK settings for font color keep changing in Word

    I am trying to match a particular color of blue in Word.
    I set the CYMK percentages using the either the sliders or %age boxes in Word, hit OK and then when I open the color setting box, the numbers have changed.
    Anyone got an idea of what I'm doing that could be wrong - am using PMS CYMK numbers - C 100 - Y 75 - M 0 - K 0 - in theory it should work but it's not.

    The only thing I think is wrong is Word.

  • Calendar events keep changing back after I change them

    On my iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5,  8 GB 1600 MHz, Yosemite loaded, calendar 8.0 events will not change. I can add events but not change them. I've tried refresh. I've followed all the troubleshooting re: to iCloud.

    Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.

  • PDF Colors Keep Changing

    I have a project I have done in InDesign that needs to be sent to the printer. It has no errors and the colors are in CMYK. I have exported it as a PDF to Adobe Acrobat, and when I open it on my computer the colors are fine, but when I email the PDF or save it to a disk the colors are different. I have tried everything that I know of and can't seem to get it fixed. PLEASE HELP!!!

    You say the colours are differerent. Do you mean on the same computer or a different computer?
    What software are you viewing it in - is it the same, is one in a browser...?

  • Calendar colors changing

    Does anyone know of a fix for when iCloud starts randomly changing the color of the calendars I use from my iPad to iPhone for my business?
    My business calendar keeps changing from green to purple.  And now that it has started doing that, even from a laptop to sign in and fix it from the top location, it will not accept ANY color, but keeps changing to purple.

    Simple ... once you know how. Select the calendar you want to change and "Get Info" on it. That will bring up a dialog box where you can change the color, and some other parameters.
    You can "Get Info" using the File menu, the command-I keyboard shortcut, or a right-click contextual menu choice.

  • Changing calendar colors

    A client of mine uses a specific color code for his ical on his computer, but on his iphone, the colors are different. I see no way to change the colors on the iphone. How do I do this?
    Thanks,

    Cashman, this is actually possible. I just did it after searching for an answer.
    how i did it:
    go to iphone "Settings"
    Mail contacts calendars
    The exchange account he wants to change the color of.
    Switch calendars to off wait till it says off then switch back on.
    go and check if one of his calendars colors have changed to the color he likes.
    I had to do it up to 4x on a couple just to get it to the right color, i have 4 accounts to keep track of so colors are important to me, It wont have to be changed again. Ahh.....relief!
