Fixing Color/Contrast in iCloud Calendar
Here's a method I created to help those who would like to increase the text contrast in iCloud Calendar.
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.

"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!"

I am not able to change the color of my icloud calendar.
Hi,
my icloud calendar changed the color of my personal calender to purple and I have no chance to undo that. Everytime I try to change it back to blue it automatically jumps back to purple.
Does anybody have an idea to solve this issue?
Kind regards
-Torsten-Have you checked your iCloud settings on your Mac or PC. And if you are using a Mac, have you also activated Photo Stream for iPhoto or Aperture?

MacBook Air iCloud calendars show colorful spinning circle with any change
Any change I try to make to any of my iCloud calendars results in a colorful spinning circle. Every single click of the mouse in any of my iCloud calendars results in this spinning wheel. The wheel will spin for varying amounts of time. Sometimes it does make the change, other times it doesn't. This only happens on my MBA. My iPhone and iPad iCloud calendars work just fine. Also, this same issue has happened using multiple different wifi connections. I have OS X Yosemite 10.10. This has been going on for three days now (since 11/12/14). Anyone else experience this? Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!
The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies. -
TS3999 Why is my icloud calendar has been automatically the colors associated with my calendars.
Yesterday 8/13 evening my iCal started randomly and automatically switching colors assigned to my indvidual calendars. So, my calendar is colored blue and my daughter's is pink. Suddenly my calendar was pink and hers blue and then 5 minutes later it would switch back. It is also affecting my desktop calendar which synchs with iCloud. So, I went to the source and tried to change the colors back at iCloud. I did that and then 2 minutes later while I was watching, the colors switched back. How do I fix this?
Hi,
I have a very similar problem. I use eMclient on a company machine, as I have issues connecting to the iCloud.com website (I enter my login data, but then it says that there is a server error). So I cannot login.
For about one year now I could sync the company Win7 machine to the iCloud calendar with eMclient, even though I faced above problems with the iCloud.com-website - eMclient was my workaround for being able to enter appointments here and syncing them to my iCloud calendar. End of last week I saw that this is not possible anymore. In eMclient I get error messages saying "bad gateway" when trying to sync to the iCloud account.
I read on the internet that Apple applied this 2-step verification, where you now have to generate an extra password for 3rd-party programs you use that interact with the iCloud.
I generated one for eMclient, but still the same.
I also made up a topic in the eMclient support forum. They say that other users have no issue (even not since the 2-step verification). I should check whether I could access https://caldav.icloud.com/. If I try this, I get a "server is not responding" error.
I talked to my admins at the company and they also say that they changed nothing to the restriction settings lately.
I checked the account settings in eMclient like stated here: iCloud: Mail server settings for email clients
but everything is setup correctly.
So I have no idea anymore what could be the problem. I have a work-calendar setup there, too, which is working - exactly as you also mention.
Thanks for any advice! -
My Outlook/iCloud calendar invites to others appear to work on my end and sync with my PC and mobile, but when other people "accept" the invite, it will not populate/add in to their calendar. How can I fix this without turning off iCloud?
I am at a new office that uses Outlook (not Outlook Exchange) which does not sync with my mobile... I just got iCloud set up on my PC to sync my contacts, calendar, reminders, etc... The sync worked (not without flaws, but the other issues seem solvable... I think), so that i can now see all my appointments on both my phone and on my PC. The problem I am having is that iCloud moved all of my calendar items from Outlook into iCloud calendar and now when I send out meeting/calendar invites the recipients may accept them, but the meeting does not get added to their calendar. This is a huge problem and may mean that i need to turn off iCloud.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!I am replying to my own post here as I seem to have fixed the problem.
I do have some calendars that are shared. Some of those are shared with users who have time zone support turned on. So i activated time zone support on my iphone, then deleted my icloud subscription. I then signed in to icloud again and voila... problem solved.
It is a weird one as the other calendar views were always fine and when you opened an event that appeared in the wrong day (on list view), the correct date of the event was shown in the information...
one more bug in a complicated system I guess -
I've been using iCloud calendars for a while now, and they've worked pretty good. Then two days ago, something strange happened. Two of my 8 calendars had spontaneously changed color. Turns out this makes my calendar look very confusing.
So sounds simple enough, just change it back. Thing is, when I change the colors back, they change right back to the wrong colors again in a few minutes. I've tried changing these colors from my iPad, on icloud.com and from my computers. But alas, its still not staying changed.
Anyone ever have this problem before? Anyone know a solution?I have this problem as well! I am using ios 6 on an iphone 5 and I also use icloud.com all the time. Whether on my iphone 5 or icloud.com, the calender colors wont change.

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. -
Any way start over from scratch to fix iCloud calendar issues in Outlook 2010?
I'm suddenly having perplexing iCloud calendar issues in Outlook. Forget the hundreds and hundreds of duplicate entries for birthdays and holidays, and the thousands of duplicate contacts - I've just been manually deleting them from Outlook. I also tried manually deleted iCloud files from iCloud on outlook, but this does not seem to affect what is on iCloud itself. I've now got an issue where if I add an appointment on my iPhone, it appears on Icloud but not in Outlook 2010 even though the iPhone calendar is displayed in Outlook. iPad appointments show up on iPhone, iCloud and Outlook. iCloud entered appointments show up on iPhone, and iPad and Outlook. Of course it is maddening that there is a separate calendar for each (there is only one of me, so why a separate calendar in Outlook for every source is beyond me). How can I get my iPhone to start showing up again in Outlook? Another issue is that now every time I click on calendar in Outlook, it takes 2-3 minutes to display the calendar because iCloud seems to be syncing. I'm assuming this is because there a so many duplicates. I've removed Icloud from Outlook. Ran a repair on Outlook. Uninstalled iCloud. Reinstalled. Re-added to outlook., but the issue is never fixed. I'm considering make a brand new Apple ID and abandoning my current one, but that means I have to change my iPad, iCloud, iPhone, family iPhones, Outlook, readd credit card, reload all of the data. That's a pain. I sure would be nice to have a simple way of editing the iCloud data and adding devices (and having a more descriptive source name would be even better).
I found sync options under "info"
I was looking to sync the information from the phone back into outlook, It looks like these options will sync what is on outlook into the phone..
I wanted to export from the phone (which has all of the old appointments and updated contacts) , back into outlook
Any other thoughts?
Thanks -
When using iCloud Calendar, I am unable to change the color of my work calendar. I have successfully followed the instructions to reset the colors of other calendars as desired. However, this one calendar always defaults to purple. Help!
File>New Calendar to create a new calendar (Groups are for grouping calendars and I should ignore them). When you've created the calendar, control-click on it in the sidebar and choose 'Get Info' There you can select a colour. You can have as many calendars as you like. When you create a new event you can select the calendar it belongs to, and hence the colour it has.

ICloud calendar colors changing
iCloud calendar colors changing without me doing anything. Last night my calendar colors were as I established two years ago and this morning two fo the colors are swapped. Changing them back doesn't seem to help.
Same problem. Except that I noticed the colors on the web for iCloud have changed to match the new ones in IO7 on the phone.
So I changed them on the phone expecting the web verison to update to match, but still no luck.
The colors on the iCloud web interface have changed and editing to change them has no effect.
Could be the 'build-in' Work and Home colors are preset and not changeable, which would be pretty annoying. -
When I enter dates my iphone 4s caledar it doesn't show up on my icloud calendar. How do I fix this?
When enter dates in my iphone 4s calendar they don't show up on my icloud calendar. The will when I enter them first on my icloud calendar. How do I fix this problem? I want them to exchange dates both ways.
If you want to sync calendar events over the air with your Google calendar and when creating a new event on the iPhone it will be created and synced with your Google calendar automatically, you need to select your Google calendar as your default calendar, not your iCloud account calendar.

. My iCloud calendar on my Lenovo Tablet PC running Outlook 7 (64 bit) suddenly stopped displaying any appointments. The data is still on my iPhone 4S and online in the iCloud server. Also strangely when I start typing a new appointment it displays the typing until I press ENTER when it disappears - BUT appears on my iPHONE! Seems like an OUTLOOK display problem.

You need to set 0 margin and padding on the body tag. Copy
the following
into the head of your document just before the closing head
tag (/head>)
Preferably it should go into an external stylesheet, but by
the sounds of
things you are not using this as yet.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
background-color: White; /*change to suit whatever your
background image is
-->
</style>

Once you have added the above to your page, you need to save
the page as a
Template. You will be asked to create an editable region
(which is the area
that will be changed on each child page created from this
template).
The DW help files do offer some information on how to create
Template
pages - that may be the first stop for you :-)

I don't know where to send these two topices so could you please assist.
1. When you guys changed the icloud calendar colors the other day. When you go to make a new event the am/pm for the start date is hidden behind the end date. Can someone please fix this. It is causing issues when trying to make my appointments.
2. When you changed the icloud calendar and you select go to today it no longer is noticible to see what day is today because of all the colors. It would be better to somehow make it stand out like it was before. Now it's barley noticible.
Thanks
Can someone helpiCloud everything is working on my PC and iPhone. I can type an e-mail, update my Contacts, enter Notes on either my PC or iPhone and the display on both. But I can not open my Calendar since 5th feb on my PC.
I get the following message: Calendar has stopped responding an error has prevented this application from working properly. Help Apple to improve its products by sending us dianostic and usage information about icloud.
This problem only started after installing Google Chrome. Since I have removed Google Chrome and Reinstall iCloud to fix any missing items. But its still off line. I have not been able to make contact with iCloud Help Desk.
I have also checked iclouds status. They are not reporting any problems or faults on their system.

I should not have an icloud account on my mac or my iphone at all. So, I do not have an icloud calendar that I am aware of.
I have not accepted them or opened them. I only opened the new icloud app on my phone with the new upgrade to see what was inside the app. I left everything turned OFF. I do not want icloud at all.
The calendar thing on my iphone is weird and should not be synced to anything with icloud since I have not turned icloud on. But, everyone keeps posting that I need to get into icloud to fix this problem because my calendar should be in icloud. I dont know how it could be since I never synced or even turned icloud on at all. In my iphone icloud is off on all the options.
I never got icloud with my MAC and I never opened or clicked the user agreement that came last week (after my upgrade) to turn it on.
