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?

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..

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.

Can't figure out why colors don't totally change when you select type with curser? It looks like it has by looking at it, but when you highlight the area after the old color is still there. It happens with objects to. Driving me NUTZ. Help!

Select the text, and open the Appearance palette (Come on guys, text highlight is irrelevant, it happens to objects too says the OP), and see what's listed there. For a simple text object, there should only be a line item "Type", followed by "Characters", and when double-clicked the Characters line item expands to tell you the stroke and fill color. For a basic object, there should be a fill and/or stroke.
What happens sometimes, is that you end up adding extra strokes/fills to objects or text, and the appearance palette is where that will be noted. Especially when you are dealing with groups, and/or picking up a color with the eyedropper, you may inadvertently be adding a fill or stroke on top of something. You can drag those unwanted thingies from the Appearance palette into its own little trash can.

Some images don't transfer from RH8 to the Word output

Why is it that some images don't transfer from the RH8 file to my Word output when I generate?
They do transfer to the Flash Help, but not to Word.
Some of them are small images - just shots of icons or tools - and others are quite a bit larger.
It takes me at least another hour to format the Word document after the output.

Hi Patti,
I have had similar problems of images "softly and suddenly vanishing away" during export from RoboHelp to Word. I never really solved the problem, but I did find some useful tips.
First you shouldn't embed your images; in the Printed Documentation Wizard you should select "Link to sub-directory"
This has the advantage that lost images are now replaced by a small red cross -- easier to find when reviewing.
Next, in Word, try Edit>Links. If you are lucky you will see something like this:
Notice that some links have a Source File of ../Images; they are the ones I was missing. For some reason the path to the image file is moved up one level.
I never found out why, but the workaround was simple: copy the entire Images directory and paste it one level higher in the directory hierarchy. A waste of disk space, to be sure, but it worked. The grabs above show Word2003 and RH8.
Hope this helps,

Contacts Don't Transfer All Information When Using Outlook Synching - Zen Mi

Earlier I posted regarding the following problems with Outlook Synching:
. It doesn't transfer any recurring appointments from Outlook.
2. It doesn't transfer your Outlook calendar unless you also choose to transfer your Outlook Contacts.
I now have another issue I just witnessed today....
3. I've now entered roughly 50 contacts into Outlook, and have synched them with my Micro. I find that roughly 5 - 0% of my contacts do not synch over the email address. All other information appears to be transferred to my Micro, except for the email addresses in about 5 - 0% of contacts. I thought perhaps I maxed out the memory in my Micro, but that wasn't the problem. I then thought that perhaps these contacts have too much info, and Micro transfers over only a set data limit per contact... so I removed alot of info from one of them as a test, but it still won't transfer over the email address.
Has anyone else seen that? Creative, any comments on this issue, or status on the first two?
Thanks -
Josh

Thanks for the follow-up, Jeremy. In answer to your question, the contacts that don't transfer the email addresses were not previously on the device. I did not update the contact afterwards and add the email, it was already there when I initially created the contact.
As a test, I tried creating a "Test Contact" that appeared similar to the contacts that exhibits this problem, but it transferred the email address just fine. It's just approximately 5 - 0% of my contacts that show this problem.
The contacts I've seen off-hand tend to have most fields filled in including: Full Name, Job Title, Company, Business #, Mobile #, Business Address, E-mail, Display As.
On a side note, when I deleted this test contact from MS Outlook, synched the device, and made sure I selected the checkbox stating "Delete contacts that have been deleted in Outlook".... it never removed the "Test Contact". Is this another bug?
Thanks for the help -
Josh

Printing from InDesign and Photoshop - colors don't match

I'm printing the same CMYK image from Photoshop and from InDesign, to a HP desktop color printer. I'm using CS3, all the color settings are identical in both programs, but the printed colors don't match. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
(cross-posted in InDesign forum)

I have had the same problem: an image printed from PS differs from the same image printed from ID. However, I can't very well print as bitmap from ID since the image is part of a spread, including text. I have tried various combinations of settings. I made the PS image to 100% of the ID final size (in the layout). I tried various print dialogue settings (high transparency flattener, medium transparency flattener, color managed, not color managed, CMYK output and leave unchanged ... every combination I could think of). ID does something on printer output. My understanding (at least from CS2) was that ID output to printer uses a PDF format of some sort. I had the idea maybe the ID output did some sort of resampling or re-rendering of the image, but have not prooved that out. I did get some slight improvement in the ID output when the image in the ID layout was put in at 100% (whereas it had been 88% (the original image being bigger than the ID layout size). What I am getting now in CS3 is a clean looking photo in PS, but in ID, skin tones look somewhat blotchy and a bit more saturated. The PS image is better than ID, and while ID is not bad, why is it not as clean as PS? I can definitely see the difference between PS and ID output and know it will show on press, too. Any suggestions?

In iTunes 10.7, some of my podcasts don't transfer to my iPhone.

When I look in iTunes at the podcast list on my phone, the ones that don't transfer have a grey logo beside them (grey circle with two circular white arrows in them.) I don't see any reason why they shouldn't transfer. What's going on?
I can download them from the iTunes app on my phone, but this is an extra hassle when it should just sync, as my other podcasts do (other podcasts I've downloaded since this problem began do sync normally.)

Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!

Color don't work well in Mac book pro 13" and monitor flash sometimes? Please help me!

Please describe the problem in as much relevant detail as possible. The "etrecheck" fad hasn't made that step any less necessary. The usual results of posting etrecheck output on this site without a full description of the problem are very poor.
The many "failed" warnings that etrecheck sometimes spews mean nothing. Those warnings are not a reason to reinstall the OS, or to do anything else at all. They should be ignored.
The better your description of the problem, the better the chance of a solution.
For example, if the computer is slow, which specific actions are slow? Is it slow all the time, or only sometimes? What changes did you make, if any, just before it became slow? Have you seen any alerts or error messages? Have you done anything to try to fix it? Most importantly, do you have a current backup of all data? If the answer to the last question is "no," back up now. Ask if you need guidance. Do nothing else until you have a backup.

Good news - saved you a 2 hour phone call

What is the difference between "don't transfer" and "transfer"?

After upgrading a song to iTunes Plus, I will sync my iPod Nano. Upon insertion of the USB cord I will get a message that reads something like this: There are songs on Susan's IPod Nano that are not in your Music Library, "transfer" or "don't transfer". Then it claims if you click "don't transfer" you will lose something on your iPod. But if you click "transfer" you get a duplicate right back into your Library; the 128kbts version, and the 256kpts version. My question is, am I correct in clicking "don't transfer"? I don't want duplicates anywhere! And what remains on he iPod, the 256kbt version or what? Yesterday, I called Tech Support, and the gentleman at the other end had absolutely NO CLUE what I was talking about! First he told me "transfer", then he told me "don't transfer". Can someone who has been through this help? Many thanks.

Hmmm, good question. If you use auto updating with your iPod, my gut feeling is that the old version that is in the iPod but NOT in the iTunes library anymore will be wiped from the iPod if you pick don't transfer.
Basically when you auto update, iTunes matches the contents of the iPod to that of iTunes based on whatever rules you are using (updating all or updating specific playlists). If it isn't in iTunes then it gets removed from the iPod. When you plug in the iPod, if iTunes "sees" a purchased track on the iPod that is not in the library, before it goes ahead and wiped it off the iPod, it gives you the opportunity to first save it to your library. If you say DON'T transfer it, then I assume (but I don't know for sure) that iTunes then goes about its normal updating routine which would remove the track from the iPod since it isn't in the library.

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?
