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.

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

Listing order and dates of my photos have all changed and now it is a mess in my photo library! I tried to list them again by date, but it didn't fix the problem. What to do?

If your preferences keep getting messed up try this:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and format the memory card in my helmet cam?

I have recently changed to an iMac from a Windows PC. How do I delete files and reformat the memory card in my helmetcam?

If you return the memory card to the helmetcam, it may choose to reformat it before use; back to some FAT-16 or FAT-32 format many of these third-party cards and cameras use. Unless you were going to use it for Mac OS X and format it with HFS+ or in a partition map for Mac data, etc.
If not, the easiest way to reformat the card may have been in the camera itself. I've formatted several kinds of camera cards, drives, USB flash drive, and others. The means varies with the intended purpose. Sometimes the default is the best; since it is platform neutral if the device is seen by both players.
Good luck & happy computing!

E-mail "Inbox" of old messages have all changed to text only after Norton scan?

Hi,
Last night I did a full Norton scan of my computer and this morning found that all the "Inbox" messages "prior" to the time of the scan seem to have been changed to text only with various other codes and symbols but without the correct text formatting and any graphics. With these old Inbox messages the address and subject lines are also now empty as is the "To:" and "From:" In fact the whole space where these should appear now simply says "subject". There are also no graphics in the actual message area merely text and symbols. This has only occurred on my POP3 server Inbox. It hasn't happened to my other e-mail address which is an IMAP server. Nor has it affected the "Sent" nor "Archive" message boxes for the POP3 server system. Any new incoming e-mails I've just received this morning and post the Norton scan are ok however.
Is there someway I can recover or re-configure these old Inbox messages from what appear to be text to presumably HTML with the correct subject lines and text/graphics formatting which seems to have been lost since the Norton scan?
Many thanks.
Bob

Did Norton find anything in the Thunderbird profile. It sounds to me like it has quarantined your entire inbox, something Norton is very good at and the people and Norton are totally unapologetic for. Their attitude is they saved you, you should be grateful that they deleted a great load of your mail.
Personally I voted with my feet. No Symantec product get installed on any device I have anything to so with. I consider them as bad as the virus they are supposedly protecting me from.

IPhoto Events 'date range' have ALL changed by 16 yrs+

I'm very new to iMac (from Windows) and when I was editing some Events in iPhoto somehow I've managed to change all the Events to a random date range of 'now to 16yrs +' ... Is there a way that I can revert to the a previous version for dates of Events or will I have to copy a back-up version from Time Machine into iPhotos? I have 6000+ photos and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks for reply .. yes, I'm talking about the Event date (I think it is in grey underneath the key photo in Event view). I think when I was updating the date range of a couple of Events (that were showing a date range back to 1993 at the time) I inadvertantly applied a new date range to ALL of my Events (not sure how I did that).
I've read a few posts about 'bugs' but I think if have the most recent update!
Some of the more recent Events I can manually amend but for those photos that are quite a few years old, it now displays a date range - in some cases up to 2028 - and I would like to be able to see the 'original' date that the photo was taken.
I am on iPhoto 11 (9.1.5) and using Lion OS.
I have checked System Preferences> Date & Time and I don't appear to have a 'custom' date/time preference.

ICal - I have all the events from the past decade listed for this week

My iCal calendar has every event from the last ten years listed in every day - each event is tagged 'repeat Every day' and 'end Never'. I have a non-corrupted version on my iPhone. I have tried restoring from Time machine and this works but then reverts to this confusion. I even deleted the .plist.
HELP - my Calendar is my life (and my history)

Greetings,
Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
If the events remain:
Reset your Sync history: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Then restore from your backup.
If that does not work let us know.

How do I get original shape of photos. Mine have all changed to square , losing part of the image. Infuriating!

My photo library has changed the shape of all my images to square meaning I have lost part of the image. How do I revert all the images to their original shape? Very annoying!

All the images are now square with rounded corners, very "arty" but substantil parts of the image is lost as all my photos are A shape ie they are normal photo negative shape. Ther seems to be no tool on the latest iPhoto to make the change back to originals. I have nearly 1000 photos so changing them back one by on is not practical

Downloaded skype and now my settings have all changed!

Im a new mac user. i used to have firefox and some other apps on my computer plus ALOT of music. I downloaded skype and it was running fine, but today EVERYthing has changed. firefox is gone, my itunes library is gone and all my settings have changed. is there anyway to restore or undo what i did last night? im wondering if available memory had something todo with it?

Hi Chreesta and welcome to Apple Discussions.
I very much doubt that Skype itself is responsible, you didn't by any chance rename your 'Home' folder did you?
If so refer to the following:

The icons for my .ai files have all changed to Acrobat icons*

I have recently upgraded to CS5 and OS Lion. I have noticed that recently all of my .ai files now seem to have an Acrobat icon instaed of an Illustrator icon.
Is this normal?

Not normal but since the format of AI files is now PDF instead of PostScript it can happen. There are some utility apps out there that will "nudge" a file and re-establish the proper file associations. See here http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/14014/nudge

Applications have all changed place?

Now i know that this might sound like not much however, i synced my iphone at 8 am this morning and on my iTunes it said that it was removing my applications and then adding them back in. However after it did this all my applications are now scattered everywhere and not in the places where i had put them.
As i said i know that this might sound silly but i have a lot of applications and i spent a LOT of time putting my business apps together, games together etc and now they are all over the place.
Is there a way of getting it back to the way it was before?
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

no they were not unchecked from iTunes. All it said on Itunes as it was syncing was 'removing apps' and then it said installing apps and they were all installed again?

HT4528 The icons on my iphone have all changed to large and I cannot change it back to normal view. Has anyone seen this happen?

My phone's display has changed as if it were stretched like we can do with photo's except it affects the whole phone. It won't go back to a normal display even after shutting it off and restarting. Has anyone seen this and how did you resolve?

Thank you...this did the trick. I had forgotten about that zoom feature. Now I will ALWAYS remeber it!
Thank you,
Deb

Lightroom 5.6 - photos in one of my collections have all been corrupted - they all become resized after I exported them

I have recently exported two photo collections. However, one of them seems to have been corrupted. All the photos have been resized after I exported them to lightroom.adobe.com. In fact, whenever I try to open any of the images in Lightroom again they have all been resized (or cropped). Is there anyway of recovering the original edits I made. I can re-adjust the images one by one but there are over 1000!
Thanks
Mike

Hi dj-paige
Thanks for replying.
I guess "corrupted" isn't the correct term to use. The problem is that I have been editing photos in Lightroom (well over a 1,000) and then put them in two collections, one called Birds (300+ images) and the other Dragonflies (1000+ images). I then uploaded these collections to Adobe-Lightroom so that I can view them online. However, when I view the Dragonfly collection, either online or in Lightroom, they have all changed, having all been cropped beyond recognition. What I want to know is, 1) has anyone experienced this problem before and 2) is there a way of recovering the photos with all the edits that I have painstakingly made over the past few weeks. I can go through the photos one by one and change the crop so that they appear fine but there are over a 1,000 images and it would take several weeks to go through them again.
Cheers
Mike

I am thinking of changing to a IMaC for my computer and Want to know if I will be able to upload documents from my old computer and all my photos. Everything is in Microsoft Word and excel. I have a iphone and ipad so that is why i am thinking of changing

If I change to a IMAC will I be able to upload all my photos and word and excel documents? Also does it have USB ports like I have already used?
Is there a DVD player on IMACS? It is scary making the move until I am sure I can use everything I already have. I also have NEAT for all my recepits also.

When the new Mac first starts up, you get the opportunity to migrate your files from another computer, including a PC. This link tells you how to do it from Windows.
As for the iMac's features, you can look through this website to get all the details.
It is possible to install Windows on a Mac and run your Windows applications within it. It's also possible to use programs that are for the Mac which can work with most MS Office files. One good example is LibreOffice.
Welcome to the Mac.
