Calendar Colours

After months of frustration with the well known problem of the iPod Touch changing the colours of iCal calendars when syncing all is fixed! This seems to have followed from the latest iTunes update. All calendars are now perfectly colour synced with my desktop imac's iCal colours.
Anyone else noticed this?

thanks

Calendar colours changing themselves

I've been using iCal on Macbook Air syncing the Calendar over iCloud to both iPad2 and iPhone5 for about a month.
I have two calendars - one was in Green and the other Orange (these were the default colours from when the devices were first used and I was happy with them so left the colours alone).
Two days ago the Green calendar started changing itself to Blue and the Orange one started changing itself to Purple. If I change the colours back to my desired Green and Orange (and I've tried doing it on all three devices) then they just keep changing themselves (on all three devices) to the undesired Blue and Purple.
Both the MBA and iPhone5 are one month old, and software is up to date on all three.
I'm aware of another (old) thread concerning colours and subscribed calendars, but these are not subscribed calendars.

Me too.
I have iPhone5 (less then 3 months old) running 5 calenders (each with a different colour).
All are iCloud enabled.
All are subscribed to by a MacPro (Lion) and an iPhone4.
1 calender is subscribed to by a iMac (early silver casing runing Lion).
In the past few days, calendar colours on the iPhone5 & then the others) keep self-changing. If you change them back, they self-change again.
All softrware is up to date.
This definitely was not a problem until a few days ago.
Help ! Apple sort this out - it is driving us mad.

IOS 7 Calendar colours only appear in grey in Month View on iPhone 5

Why are Calendar colours in month view on iPhone 5 only in grey? They just appear as small grey dots underneath the date number. This is about as helpful as a chocolate teapot. I am so disappointed with the iOS 7 upgrade.

ICloud Calendar colours

iCloud Calendar colours has finally fixed !!!!

Eureka!! Discovered a solution for this systemic problem (albeit temporary for some users). Can't take the credit for the fix, though. All kudos goes to Sam Yu.
He wrote;
"Found a workaround for this issue. I don't think it has to do with the fact that the calendar is named "work". Here's what I did:
exported existing "work" calendar
create a new calendar with a new name, "work 2"
imported calendar to the new calendar
change calendar to the desire color
deleted old "work" calendar
named calendar back to "work"
I closed the calendar app and opened it again. The color stayed to my desired setting. Hope this helps!"

Why is it that the calendar colour always returns to purple when I have changed it to green

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

2.1 Reset calendar colours?

I updated to iphone 2.1 last night and it has reset my calendar colours on my iPhone. Mobile me and iCal are both the same, but in the software upgrade it seems to have put my calendars in alphabetical order which has completely mucked up the colours.
Is there any way to change the colours on iphone? I know this was a problem early on but is there a solution yet?

Hi I had the same problem. I seem to have fixed it, but I don't know which step actually solved the problem:
1. Turned off Calendar syncing on my Exchange account in Settings. This deleted all my Exchange events on my iPhone.
2. With my iPhone connected to my PC running Outlook, re-enabled syncing of Calendars with Outlook (work calendar) in iTunes. This didn't seem to do anything.
3. With my iPhone connected to my PC running Outlook, enabled syncing of Calendars with Outlook (calendar) in iTunes. This overwrote all my iPhone appointments with my Exchange appointments, coloured slate blue.
4. On the iPhone, turned back on Calendar syncing on my Exchange account in Settings. This cleared all my blue appointments and then reloaded them into the red Calendar calendar. My iPhone appointments in the Work calendar (orange) reappeared.
I am guessing there are various lists of events stored somewhere against calendar names, but it is not possible at the moment to properly configure a mapping between external calendars like the one in Exchange and the ones in the iPhone.
Hope this helps. Now I have no more white/yellow entries!

Looking for calendar app that can sync multiple calendar colours in outlook

I Have multiple colour categories in my calendar but need a calendar app that can sync with outlook. Do NOT want to sync with google calendar. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi ron1098,
Try my application Dates to iCal. it runs on the Mac, but you can sync the calendar to your iOS device.
See more about Dates to iCal here. It is £4 shareware with a 2 week demo.
Best wishes

ICal is randomnly changing calendar colours.

I went to use my calendar today and noticed that things I normally mark green on my Work calendar are now purpley pink. As I use a similar colour already for another related Work calendar, this is very confusing. I can change the calendar to green, and it stays that way temporarily, but then changes back after a few seconds. This is happening across all my devices - iMac, iPhone 5 and iPad 2.
I'm suspecting an iCloud issue, and I notice that this issue also cropped up in August and was fixed.
Any suggestions/fixes/clues?

Calendar colours are different in iPhone than what's on my iCal

Why is it that the colours that I assign in iCal on my computer is different than the colours I see for the same events on the Calendar in the iPhone?
Say, for example, I set an event for MISC for a whole day for today, and make it Red in my iCal - when I look at it in my iPhone, it's Orange. When I set it as Green, then it's Blue. When I set it to Black, it's Red. When it's Blue, it's Purple. And so on.
Is there something wrong with my iPhone, or is there a patch?
Thank you

"It's not a bug, it's a feature."
You can't easily fix this - only Apple can do so! They've released a kbase article with the explanation excuse that it is normal for the calendar colors not to match.
There is a workaround, although it is something of a pain. The iPhone will apply calendar colors in the following order: red, orange, blue, green, purple. (If you only sync one calendar, it's blue).
Depending on the colors you want, you first need to create 'blank' calendars in iCal to 'use up' unwanted colors. Then, you need to sync the calendars, one at a time, in color order.
Go to the Info tab (in iTunes with the iPhone connected and selected in the devices list). With the Sync iCal calendars box checked, UNcheck all the boxes and sync. Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be red. Then sync (if you look on the iPhone at this point, that calender will be blue, since it's the only one). Then, check the box for the calendar you want to be orange, then sync. Repeat for blue, then green, then purple.
For example, if I want to have two calendars, Home colored blue and Work purple, I would create three new calendars - empty1, empty2, empty3 - then check the boxes in the following order, syncing between each: empty1, empty2, Home, empty3, Work.
You only need to do this once (as long as you don't delete the empty calendars in iCal) - after that, iTunes 'remembers' the colors and maintains them.

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.

Calendar colours/colors broken in evolution

I've just upgraded to evolution 2.12.0 and the colouring of my calendars has stopped working. They have all gone to shades of pink and even if I change them back to the colours I want, that colour goes across the current calendar then gets wiped again with the pink.
Anyone else having this problem?
Just for the Americans searching here.... color

I'm having all kinds of issues with evolution as of late. Just this morning all the icons turned to a red colored X. My system also starts to lag severely after evolution has been running for more than 5 minutes or so. Pretty sure this all started with the update from earlier this week.

Can i get more calendar colours for my ipad

Calendar colours broken suddenly, and odd new calendar called, "New List"?

Hi,
So, suddenly today iCloud has changed the colours of two or three of my calendars spontaneously after them being the same colour for months, and won't let me change them back - after a sync they just revert to whatever iCloud has decided they must now be.
I've checked in BusyCal (my default) and Calendar, and changes to either of them are just reverted on sync. There doesn't seem to be a way to change colours in iCloud itself.
Also, I now have a new calendar in iCloud all of a sudden called, "New List", with a tick next to it. If I delete it it just comes back on next sync. This doesn't appear in iCloud or in Calendar, only BusyCal.
Help?
EDIT: I'm running 10.8.5. Apple's Discussion board doesn't seem to want to let me change my device details no matter how hard I try.

This is the response I received from BusyCal support yesterday...
Something changed on iCloud recently that affects calendar colors in BusyCal. We are investigating it and will notify you once we have found the cause of the problem or a solution.
Regards,

Iphone calendar colours are all wrong

Dear All,
I'm having an issue with my iPhone 3G (running OS 3).
My iCal and MobileMe Calendar sync correctly, with the right colours. But on my iPhone the colours have arrived all shuffled around.
The details are correct (information, dates, times) - it's just the colours.
I'm assuming that a 'reset sync data' won't help, since my computer and MobileMe seem to be communicating correctly ...
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Roger

Seems to be an issue with the iOS 4 - this was a problem with an old version of the iPhone OS and an older iTunes, fixed over a year ago, and now it seems to have returned.
Here's the kbase that discusses it: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1925. Originally, that article's 'solution' said the behavior was normal. When they fixed it, they changed the solution.

Lost calendars, colours and publishes after upgrade to Leopard.

I've just upgraded my ibook g4 from 10.3.9 to 10.5.4
It appeared to go smoothly, though thankfully I had used backup
to store most of the important stuff on an external firelite drive.
I opened iCal and am still horrified.
1) about half of my calendars are missing, mostly the ones which used to be published because they had important information in my partner needs to know too - like where I'm working when!
2) all the colours on have changed
3) the order is completely scrambled
the above two make it tricky to work out which calendars are missing.
4) it won't let me re-order subscribed calendars in with my calendars (which is where i want to see them.
I really hope someone can help as I don't fancy the drive to the nearest apple store to try and make someone fix it face to face on a busy saturday when it's full of people but I need to get access to my data soon!
Help,
please.

Oh and I forgot to say
5) none of the calendars which were published are published anymore
