Changing color of synced calendar dots

I'm syncing with MobileMe and an Exchange server. The Exchange calendar chose a color that I'm already using in my MobileMe calendars which causes a little confusion now and then. Is there a way to change the color of the dot used by the Exchange calendar?

Mudplay,
Select a calender on the left side of your iCal window, control click it to get the contextual menu & select "Get Info", click on the color sample dropdown to the right of the name & drag it down to "Other". From there, select any color you want & control its shade or value with the slider bar.
Hope this helps.

  • Change colors in the calendar

    I saw that there is the possibility to change color to present a variety of calendars.
    My webcal in particular should be on existing services WEBCAL, eg, the lunar calendar.
    I change color, but every time my iPad or iPhone sync, returns the default color!
    What can I do?

    Yep, I just noticed this behavious on my iPhone 4 as well. Built-in calendars ("On My iPhone") stay locked in their colours, but subscribed calendars keep changing theirs. It's quite annoying.

  • Manually change color of Exchange calendar in iCal?

    Good evening. Got kind of an odd problem...and not really sure when it became an issue, although I think it happened after I upgraded to Lion. But for whatever reason I cannot get to the 'Get Info' part of one of my calendars that is an Exchange calendar. I can right-click on all of my iCloud calendars and get to the get info section in order to change colors, sharing, etc, but when I click the get info option on my Exchange calendar, nothing happens.
    Not sure when this became the case, because I know I used to be able to change the color.
    Was wondering if maybe there was a preference file that I could manually edit in order to change the color, or if someone else has run into this and found a solution.
    Thanks a bunch.

    Hi guys,
    "googling" I found this applescript:
    tell application "iCal"
              set color of calendar "Calendar" to choose color default color {0, 0, 0}
    end tell
    Waiting for an Apple fix, you can use this. It's wok like a charm!

  • I have more than 1 calendar on Iphone how to change color of the calendars.

    I have more than 1 calendar on my iphone, but 2 of them have the same color when viewing on the list. But both belong to 2 separate individuals. Is there some way of chaning the default color of each calendar?

    I believe that if you set up your Google calendars using CalDAV rather than exchange the colors you select in your Google calendar preferences will sync to your phone.  To set up your calendars using CalDAV, see http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674, then go to your gmail exchange account and turn calendar syncing to off.

  • How to change color of iCal calendars??

    I'm transferring my calendars from my old G4 ical version 1.5.5 to my new imac ical version 3.0.2. I'm trying to change the colors the program assigned to my calendars. I'm a designer and we have kinda weird priorities but, my calendars LOOK horrible. Under "help" it gives the advice I've reprinted below but, there IS no "info button in the bottom right corner"!
    Please help me reestablish aesthetic equilibrium.
    "Select the calendar in the Calendars list.
    Click the Info button in the bottom-right corner of the iCal window to open the calendar’s Info window.
    Choose a new color from the pop-up menu in the top-right corner of the Info window.
    To customize the color, choose Other, and then make your color selections in the Colors window."

    Welcome to the discussions, spet.
    Right click (Control-click) the calendar you want to change in the left pane and select Get Info. There is a colour selection button to the right of the calendar name..

  • How to change color of Exchange calendar on iPhone?

    I have an Exchange calendar (and a few delegate calendars) on iCal in 10.6. My main calendar is on my iPhone as well, but I can't seem to choose the color, and I can't stand the red that seems to be the default (it's actually not so bad on the iPhone, but I want it the same color as on my Mac and I don't want lots of red all over iCal. I know how to change the calendar color in iCal, just not on iPhone (for an Exchange calendar, that is. Non-Exchange calendars seem to follow whatever colors are set in iCal.)
    Thanks for whatever folks can tell me!

    This seems to be an ongoing issue as I have the same issue with my itouch. From this thread it seems the newer updates now automatically lock your gmail calendar to whatever color you chose from your PC. Change the color on your PC calendar and the color on your mobile device will match it. Would love to figure out a way to change the color on my itouch to anything I want, but it is now greyed out under the options to change the color.

    I am perplexed as I used to have the option to change my gmail calendar color from within my itouch as I do with both my outlook exchange account and my yahoo account. What gives?

  • Is there a way to change the color of your calendars in the calendar app when it has been synced with multiple calendars?

    I have just purchased an iPad 2 and I have gotten it setup to sync with my multiple calendars on Google Calendar.  But the colors I have chosen for displaying my calendars in Google Calendar are not being used when the info comes over to the iPad.  The iPad is choosing it's own colors for each calendar.   Is there a way to customize this so I know who's calendar I am looking at by color shown?  Thanks!

    Size is never included in a style for a shape.
    If you want to apply the resizing to all shapes, you can use the small flyout menu after applying the resizing to one shape, and choose Apply to all items of this type.

  • How can I change the color of subscribed calendar?

    Hello!
    I have subscribed two calendars from the internet at my ipad. They automatically got the colors green and red. Now I wanted to change these colors. So I did it and changed them in the calendar-app of the iPad to blue and yellow. At first it worked. But after a few minutes, the colors automatically changed back to green and red. And that happens all the time. Whenever I change the colors of my subscribed calendars, they automatically change back a few moments later.
    Why does it happen? And how can I make my iPad keep the new color settings?
    I am using iOS 5.0.1

    I figured out a solution for changing the other calendars but not the birthday calendar. Although it's not the most direct fix, it worked for me. Apparently Apple didn't think to give us the ability to choose the calendar color. I use Entourage and sync over the air. When I upgraded to iOS 4 my calendar turned bright red and the birthday calendar was blue. I don't use the birthday calendar so it isn't even enabled in my case. What finally worked was to go through the calendar colors one at a time by disabling and re-enabling the calendar in my mail account settings. I would double click the home button to quickly switch between settings and calendar to check the color each time I enabled the calendar. I had to do this 4 or 5 times to cycle through until blue came back up.

  • How do i get my events to change colors when i add new ones in my calendar

    How do I get my events to change colors when I add a new event in my calendar?

    When you add an event and you see the heading "Calendar", do you see a name to the right of it such as "Work"?  If you tap on the heading "Calendar" does it show you a list of calendars?
    I'm basing this on my experience using iCal on a Mac to sync with my iPad.  I created a number of calendars on the Mac and assigned them different colors.  Those appear on my iPad.  I don't know how to create additional calendars on the iPad alone - I must create them in iCal or MobileMe then they show up on the iPad.  Are you using a Mac or MobileMe?

  • How to change colors in calendars in ios7

    I find I can change colors on the Exchange account (gmail) but not the regular gmail account. I do not use iCloud for cals.
    In exchange there is an info button (i with a circle around it), this is where colors can be chosen at will.
    In gmail there is no way to make this choice.
    A problem, since I have several daylong events in a dark color that are obscuring, viz masking, hour long appointments due to the color schemes that cannot apparently be changed.
    is this true?
    Thx
    PS: I've read that exchange has been deprecated as an account type and that "Gmail" is the preferred option for google calendars, etc. Is that true? Will Gmail accounts push notifications the way Exchange did?

    Precisely the point.
    Exchange (run through native Apple Cal.) gives these options.
    Gmail (ditto) doesn't.
    My understanding is that now the preference is to use Gmail over Exchange, which is no longer supported by google.
    I've experienced problems syncing with Exchange but not with Gmail (some calendars do others don't sync in E.)—maybe for this reason, I don't know. I currently combine where needed and possible so that I have the color option, which to me is worth the slight inconvenience of running two different Gmail calendars at the same time.
    It sounds like you don't use either just iCloud for syncing calendars, so I may open another thread to ask about this situation. thanks.

  • Why are my calendars changing colors?

    This has been happening occasionally over the past 6 months: the various calendars I have created in Calendar suddenly change colors from what I set. I can go in and reset them, but the reset doesn't stick; the next time I open Calendar, the calendar events have changed to bizarre colors again. Then in a week or two, as suddenly as it started, the color changes stop and all is normal again.
    This does NOT affect my iCloud-synced iPhone or iPad calendars - their colors are what I originally intended. I am running the latest version of Mountain Lion, 10.8.5.

    I just had the same problem.  I went to the iCloud to change the colors back, but they would automatically change back.
    Here's what I did:
    1.  Take your calendars offline in iCal
    2.  Export the calendars that change color to the desktop
    3.  Delete the calendars from both the iCloud and iCal
    4.  Create new calenders in iCal making them the color you want
    5.  Import the calendars from the desktop int your new calenders
    6.  Put your Calendars back online to sync with iCloud
    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • HT5621 I changed my apple ID on my laptop and I can no longer sync calendars from my iphone4s to the Macbook.  I went to settings and when I open iCloud account settings, my old apple id is grayed out and I can't tap it to change it.  Any suggestions??

    I changed my apple ID on my Macbook  but I am unable to sync calendar from my iphone 4s.  When I go to settings in the phone, my old ID is there, but it is greyed out and I can't change it. I was able to change the app store ID, but the one in iCloud settings seems stuck.  Any suggestions??

    You need to use the old ID and password to delete the iCloud account. After you delete the old account, you can sign in with the new ID in iCloud.
    Have you seen this.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5796
    iCloud
    iOS 6 and later: Go to Settings > iCloud.
    If you signed out before changing your Apple ID, enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download to your device.
    If you're still signed in with your previous Apple ID:
    Scroll down and tap Delete Account. Depending on what iCloud options are turned on, you'll be asked to confirm that you want to delete data from your device. To confirm, tap Delete. (If you're using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, you'll be asked to enter the password for your previous Apple ID. Enter the password, then tap Turn Off.) The data will be deleted from your device, but not from iCloud.
    Enter your current Apple ID to sign in. The data from your iCloud account will download again to your device.

  • HT204053 cannot sync calendar on my new ipad mini. my mac and macbook use a .me account for iCloud. How can I change this?

    I cannot sync calendar on new ipad mini. My mac desktop and mac book have an old .me icloud account name. Cannot change that so how do I sync?

    If you had a passcode set on your iPad your data should be safe.  The thief would have to force it into recovery mode and restore it in order to use it, which would completely erase it.
    This shouldn't keep your daughter's device from accessing the iCloud account however.  If you can no longer sign into the account on iCloud.com from your computer, contact Apple support for assistance.

  • Can I change the default color of a calendar event?

    I have a couple calendars that will be using the overlay functionality in 2010, and chosing colors for the overlays is no problem.  However the main calendar defaults to green, and then when you open any of the overlay calendars their default color
    is green on their calendar but different on the main version.  Is there a way I can change the default so that either the main calendar doesn't show green (then each overlay owner wouldn't be confused), or to change the seperate overlay calendars to have
    their default match the selected overlay color?Denzel

    Hi Denzel,
    SharePoint 2010 calendar makes use of CALENDARV4.CSS file.  The default location of this file is [C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES\Themable\]
    Search for .ms-acal-item element in this CSS file and make changes to
    background-color property to suit your requirement.  A trial and error method could allow you to achieve your functionality.
    CAUTION: Kindly make backup of your original CALENDARV4.CSS file, before making any changes.
    There is a good reference/sample of Calendar Styles by Heather Solomon for earlier SharePoint version 2007 here:
    http://www.heathersolomon.com/blog/archive/2007/11/20/SharePoint-Calendar-CSS--Clean-and-Condensed.aspx
    Additionally, please make use of Internet Explorer 8 Developer Tools (F12) to further explore the overlay calendar CSS.  Hope this helps.
