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.

    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.

    You can also use the JavaScript to achieve it.

  • 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.

  • How do I copy multiple events from a single calendar to another calendar?

    I have multiple events from my "Family" calendar that I want to move. I would like to create a new calendar and move only specific events from my "Family" calendar to this new calendar. I have tried to select each event, then export, but this doesn't seem to work. It seems to export all events in the "Family" calendar, not just the ones that have been selected. Is there any way to do this aside from exporting each event one at a time and reimporting to a new calendar?

    Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

  • Is there a way to set an alert for every event in a single calendar?

    Hi all,
    Is there a way to globally set an event in just one of the calendars showing in iCal?
    For example, I have a "Birthday" Calendar with a bunch of birthday events.  I want to set the alert for all of them to, say, noon, without having to edit each and every one.
    Thanks!
       Greg

    To generally add an alarm to all events in a specific calendar you would need to program an Automator Workflow that passes all events of the calendar to an Applescript that adds the alarm.
    For your birthdays problem is a predefined solution iCal: If you enter the Birthdays on the cards in your Address Book, and enable the "Show Birthdays Calendar Flag", then you will receive automatic email notifications of upcoming birthdays.

  • 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.

  • Can i change colors for events in the calendar?

    Can I change colors for different events in Calendars on Ipad 2?

    Philly - I always respect your opinion and what you have to say but please hear me out.
    Philly_Phan wrote:
    I see one iCal window and that makes me conclude that I have one calendar with multiple event types.
    You understand how the app works and how to create calendars. As I pointed out - I explained to one user that you have to tap the Calendar button in the upper left corner and then select the calendars that you want to view. In fact, if you have accidentally tapped Hide All Calendars - you see no events.
    I totally understand what you are saying and I rarely take an argumentative approach in this forum, but what I am trying to point out to the OP is that you cannot create different colors for "events" in one single calendar.
    For instance, if you have one calendar called "Home" and that is the one calendar that you use - if Billy has a soccer game at 6:00 PM, Jessica has band practice at 7:00 PM and you have a bridge club meeting (I'm stuck for another idea at the moment ) at 7:30 PM - and you want all of these "Events" to appear in different colors within the same calendar - it cannot be done.
    Sometimes I think this is what users want to do - differentiate the different "Events" within a single calendar - and that cannot be done - at least AFAIK.
    I didn't mean to cause confusion nor was I trying to complicate things. I just thought that I was giving a complete answer as to how the feature works.
    After all - I could have just used the "please get the iPAD user guide" line.  I just love that response.

  • ICal Color Coding for Family Members on on Master Calendar?

    I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar. I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar. Perhaps I'm mistaken in how it works but I do not want to toggle between 5 calendars each time I need to schedule something. Is it even possible to see them all on one master calendar with the color for each person in their individual calendar retained on the master? Can they all be merged? It would take hours if not days to re-create them - I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband. Thanks for the feedback!

    Greetings,
    I have a very detailed ical calendar for all the family members' activities & would like to view them with a different color per person on one single calendar.
    iCal allows you to add multiple calendars (check boxes). Each calendar can have it's own color. Any event added to that calendar will have that color.
    I am not clear whether creating a calendar per person in a group will allow me to then merge them to see one master calendar.
    If you want to see all the calendars at once to see where events overlap, etc. you check off all the check boxes and you see all the events at once.
    In your scenario you would make 1 calendar for each person. Each calendar can be assigned it's own unique color. When you want to see what everyone is doing you just check off all the check boxes to turn on all the calendars at once so you can see the events all together (Holding down the command key which is the clover leaf or Apple key and then clicking on a check box will turn them all on / off in one shot.)
    The "Master" calendar as you say is iCal with all the calendars checked.
    Can they all be merged?
    If you have individual calendars (check boxes) and you would like to combine them you can do so by clicking on the calendar you want to merge and going to File > Export > Export. Save the resulting file to desktop. Go to that saved file and double-click. iCal will ask you where you want to put the events from that calendar. Choose the calendar you want to merge with and it will add all the events in.
    I'd also like to be able to make them viewable by my husband.
    You can share your calendars in a variety of different ways. In iCal go to the help menu and type in "Giving others access to your calendars" for a listing of options.
    Hope that helps.

  • Color coding of calendar in Sharepoint 2010

    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:

  • View all entries from a single calendar

    Hi,
    I have multiple calenders in my iCal. E.g. for all subscription renewals I have a calendar. Is there a way to get an overview of only the events from a single calendar?
    Thx.

    In the list of calendars in the top left corner of the iCal window turn off (uncheck) all except the one you want.

  • My Color Coded Calendar Events Are Not Shown

    My Color Coded Calendar Events are not displayed on my iphone. The events sync fine but they don't have the appearance that Outlook 2003 has. Dots on a calendar don't do me much good. What am I missing?

    Thanks for the reply. I was thinking that I saw in the "Intro to the new iphone" thing here on the apple site that this thing displayed the Label Color of my events. But no, I just watched it again and saw that it shows the different calendars I have in different colors. I'm very bummed (at myself for misunderstanding it). This is my first ianything so I'm not very familiar with apple. Is there somewhere that I can place an enhancement request?

  • Since iOS 6, my calendar app shows many events as gray with a dashed line around them.  dont mind the lines, but i want my color coding back so i can distinguish between multiple calendars.

    How can I make my ipad show the designated calendar color for events? Have tried using ms exchange and gmail...they look identical.  It seems to happen to items I add from my computer or android phone, but not events added from ipad.

    Somehow my settings and calendars have gown complicated...I have Microsoft Exchange, Google, AND gmail.  What ended up working was switching all of them off, shutting down my ipad, restarting my ipad, and then choosing one of them to switch back on.  Now all the colors are correct.  Thank you, emdak.

  • Calendar app that will look like Palm os Calender (color coded)?

    I currently HATE the calendar that is available for the iphone. Anybody know of a calendar app that will work on the iphone 4 that is like the Palm os calendars. I would like to have a month at a glance and see each family members events color coded. For instance all doc appointments are noted by a red dot. All bills due are a green dot and work is a blue dot. My daughters events are all pink dots and my sons events are all yellow dots. I have not been able to figure out how to put all of my nieces and nephews birthdays in the calendar so I get a reminder to send out b-day cards. HELP

  • 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.
