Ical color

I have two calendars setup and in the Year view. Each calendar is set to a different color but every event from both calendars shows up as yellow. I'd like to have one calendars' events show up as one color while each different calendar to show up in it's own color. Any help?

Hello geppo,
juts phoned the apple customer support. They have an problem on the icloud server, that changes the colors of icloud-calendars.
Their "programmers" are working on that problem. But they havn´t a clue, how long it wilkl take to solve the problem.
The fact is: you can´t do anything to fix the problem.

  • In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes?

    In the year view, why is iCal coloring the boxes and what does each color mean and how do we change it?  It makes no sense or has any rhymn or reason according to what is in my calendar.

    By default it is colored by the number of entries for each day. From white for no entries through yellow to orange and then red for the most entries.
    Hope this helps.

  • Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.

    Does anyone know what to do about iCal colors changing.   Ever since ios7 came out I have many problems.  I kind of feel like Apple has become Microsoft at twice the price??  Anyway, today all my calendars (iPhone, iPad, iCloud and on my Mac) all changed colors from the customer colors I had set.  I have about 5 calendars.
    I was able to change them back on my Mac, my iphone and my ipad, but not in iCloud.   Once each of the ones I changed updates / syncs it reverts to the incorrect colors again.  I have tested back and forth, and it is definetly coming out of the iCloud.com.  The web site will not let me chance colors, so once it updates / sync, all my other devices and calendars sync to the purple in iCloud.
    I could go on and on about my frustrations with the apparent lack to testing, and the irony around Microsoft and their "bugs".  It is more important that I find a cure, as this is really annoying.
    Has anyone else seen this today

    Don't spend a lot of time trying to change it. It's an iCloud problem that's happened before, and when it happened in August it went back to the correct colors in a few days. Just be careful when you add new items to the calendar to use the right calendar (even if the color is wrong), otherwise you'll have things out of synch when the correct colors come back.

  • IOS4 Scrambled my ICal colors

    When I upgraded to iOS4, my ICal calendars synced, except for the color labels. I have several different calendars, and both my work and home desktop, and my laptop have synced the ICal color labels properly, but now my IPhone calendar is out of whack visually. I don't see a setting to adjust the calendar colors on the phone.
    I tried turning off the Exchange server calendar, then turning it back on and the color changed, but still not synced to the other Mac calendars. Any suggestions?

    I had this problem as well until I learned two new pieces of information that now have me happily color coordinated on my iCal, iPhone, MobileMe, and Google Calendars!! Yeah!!
    1) Colors on your iCal calendars can be managed on your iphone if you are a MobileMe subscriber. MobileMe subscribers can log into their MobileMe accounts, open the online calendar, and individually select each calendar in order to select the desired colors. This selection will push to your iPhone.
    2) Google calendars now can be managed within the above system utilizing the newer technology available for syncing with iCal. To do this, you must log into your Google Calendar and subscribe to the calendar you wish to have managed within MobileMe/iCal. Here are the steps for doing that:
    - Log into your Google Calendar
    - From the list on the left-hand side of your screen, select the calendar you wish to subscribe to
    - From the pull-down menu this creates, select "Calendar Settings"
    - At the bottom of this page, you’ll see several buttons to access XML, ICAL, or HTML versions
    - To avoid sharing your calendar, simply click the ICAL button listed under “Private Address"
    - A dialog box will pop up with the URL
    - Simply click this link to download the subscription, and iCal will take care of the rest
    - You can now manage this account color for your iPhone directly from MobileMe as well!
    I hope this helps!
    Here is a link where I found screen shots of the process indicated in #2 above..

  • ICal Colors on iPhone

    My computer calendar colors are not appearing correctly on Mobile Me or my new iPhone. The color selections on Mobile Me are very very limited, unlike on the computer. How can I get my computer iCal colors to appear correctly on Mobile Me and my iPhone?

    Yes,... how?

  • Why are my assigned iCal colors changing automatically?

    All of my designated calendar colors are changing on their own in my iCal on my iPhone and in iCloud. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried to change back, but keeps reverting to new colors.

    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!

  • 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.

  • ICal colors on my Intel iMac

    I bought a new iMac a few months ago. I am running Tiger.
    Since i bought the iMac, i have been having periodic trouble with the colors in iCal. Every so often, i will open iCal (or another application will open it for me) and it will be completely blank. No Calendars. No events.
    If i quit iCal and relaunch it, the calendars show back up with apparently no ill affects, other than that the colors all revert to what i assume is default. I then have to go back and customize the colors for the calendars again.
    This happens about once every few weeks and is starting to become quite a nuisance.
    Just as a side note, i also have a PowerBook G4 running Tiger on which this has never happened in over four years. The Calendars i am using i imported from my PowerBook.
    Is this an intel problem, or something else?

    Do you mean iTunes 10.7?

  • ICal colors have all changed on my iMac

    When I turned my iMac (10.7.5) on this morning and turned on iCal (version 5.0.3), all of the colors had been changed. Before they were each distinct and clear and easy to tell apart from each other, now they all seem muted and when I look at my calendar it looks like one jumbled category of muted blue tones. The colors on the iPhone iCal seem to have remained the same, they have not changed.
    While in iCal on the iMac, I looked in the preferences and the colors seem to have changed there as well...just a handful of similar, muted colors.
    Does anyone know what is going on? If it remains like this, I am going to have to switch calendars as there is no way to tell categories apart!
    Thanks for any help/insight you can offer me!

    This is strange...I received two emails about two different replies but all I can see is my original message.
    So to answer ssschmidt, yes, I do sync with iCloud, always have and have never had a problem like this. The thing that is most frustrating as this new color scheme completely overhauled my calendar, it's a jumbled, muted mess now!
    gail from maine, thank you for your reply, I will wait to see if it clears up. I saw the post from last August but did not see the more recent queries. Thank you for replying.

  • ICal colors don't transfer?

    My carefully-chosen custom colors in iCal do not transfer to my iPod Touch. I use 7 different "calendar" colors in iCal, but on the Touch that becomes 5 colors and NOT ONE matches what was assigned in iCal. Is there any way to correct this problem? It's been addressed here before (MobileMe isn't a good solution for everybody, it seems) but the problem persists. Has Apple fixed this with their upcoming 3.0 iPhone software? I had no such problem (for a decade!) with various Palm PDAs, and I've only had my iTouch since February, but I see this as a severe oversight on Apple's part.

    Have you synced your iPod with iTunes yet?

  • Changing iCal color

    How do you change the color palette in iCal?
    Loved the old scheme.  Since "upgrading" to Mavericks it's all faded out and I don't see where there's any option to change.
    Thanks in advance.

    I can't tell you why this is happening, but I can tell you that I admin many different iCloud users. Some subscribed calendars' colors can be changed in iCal, some are greyed out. It can't make any sense of it yet. However, If you want to change the colors of these calendars, you may do so by logging into your account in iCloud. Get to the calendars and hit EDIT. You will see colored dots next to each calendar. You can then change the color there. Log out and refresh in ical. The colors will (eventualy) be changed. Hope this helps.

  • ICal color of TODAY

    Hello all,
    You have been good to me here! (thank you)
    PLEASE help... In the Month view of iCal, I need to change the color of, or darken the pastel blue tone of the TODAY indicator.
    I have chaned the screen lighting, but my 57 year old eyes have dificulty seeing the light pastel blue fill of the TODAY indicator (it just washes out).
    I have searched the manual several times for a way to darken or change the color of the TODAY indicator fill... no luck.
    In an application as flexible as iCal, I am sure that I have overlooked an obvious detail (or I am missing something big
    Any guidance will be appreciated ...

    Hello, Brian,
    I'd suggest you ask your question in the iCal forum. You'll be more likely to get a quick and accurate answer there.
    Good luck.

  • ICal Color Categories

    I would like to see the color categories on the iPhone iCal that are available on the Mac and PC/Outlook. I use my calendar to plan a lot of activities besides work. Not being able to filter my calendar by category makes for a long list to sort through when I am trying to make plans (like trying to plan a vacation; lord knows I need one).
    Does Apple have any plans to implement this feature?
    Is this feature already available and I'm blind?
    Where can I go to view future update plans for iPhone features?

    Unless I am missing something the only way to color code a exchange calendar in iCal beyond the single "Exchange" category is to have multiple calendars... a calendar for "personal", a calendar for "travel", a calendar for "teleconfs", a travel for "meetings"...
    That's not efficient and it makes working with colleagues difficult. It's very unfortunate... I'd soooo much like 1-1 parity with Entourage-13 so I can ditch it and use what's otherwise a very nice suite of Exchange-ready office apps. Mail and Address Book (including the state-level address contacts through Exchange) worked very nicely both at work and at home. But it seems I'm still Entourage's bee-hatch or whatever the hip kids today call it .

  • ICal colors and syncing questions?

    In preparation for an iphone I transferred my palm calendar to iCal. I hate all the colors. How can i change them or make it black and white for at least work items? I plan on syncing the calendars at home and at work. At home I have 10.5 and at work 10.4. Are there any issues with syncing in two different locations?

    I believe so. Just wished it worked for subscribed calendars. Hopefully the next update will fix it!

  • ICal colors Problem

    I use mobleme to sync my ical with my computer and iPhone. Today I created a new event on my iPhone calendar, and some how, it changed the color of my calendar from Green to Orange and created another calendar of the same name. Now, my colors on my iPhone do not match my computer and I have two calendars of the same name.
    What can I do to combine the 2 calendars under one color, and what can I do to get my colors on my iPhone to match my computer?
    Kevin

    OK let me see if I understand.
    I attach my iPod Touch via the CABLE and iTunes starts. I select to NOT SYNC calendars, click APPLY and Sync and then I'll see that my iPod Touch has nothing in the calendars.
    Now I disconnect the iPod Touch - and do I now select to have mobileme sync or just leave things as they were and wait 10-20 minutes?
    Do I then re-connect the cable and via iTunes turn "mobileme" sync back ON for Calendars?
    If I have this all wrong, thanks for clarifying.
    Really appreciate this as I would like to have the color-coding the same on my MacBook, iPod and MobileMe. AND I'm trying to find out why all my contacts sync except the main one "ME" in Address Book - it is "ME" in Address Book on my MB; but does NOT show in MobileMe Contacts nor in eMail contacts-- strange...
    THANKS and I'll wait for your reply then try this on 8-8-8! Guess the Beijing Olympics begin at 8:08 pm on 8-8-8 -- that's neat! Really GR8!

  • ICal Color Scheme

    Hi,
    I find the light-gray text on a bright white background difficult to read.  I can resize the text.  I would like to use a darker color for the text and the grid lines.
    SyBB
    P. S. What nimrod ay Apple thought up this color scheme?

    Rebecca,
    I was just hoping that Apple would update the iCal application by adding color scheme choices.
    I agree with your assesment. Instead of hoping why not provide Apple - iCal - Feedback.
