ICloud / Calendar app keeps changing my calendar colors

I just noticed this happening two days ago, the calendar app on my iphone and macbook is changing the colors of my calendars at random. They're only cycling between two colors for each of the 3 calendars (the original color, green, orange, purple and the changed color of blue and purple). I have no idea why it's doing this. No one else has access to my icloud account, and so far I have not noticed any loss of data. I've backed everything up. The same thing is happening on my iphone as well.
OSX 10.8.4, Cal version 6.0 (1648)
It's more of a nuisiance, but I don't want to lose appointments if this is a sign of something else going on. Any ideas?

sorry. please disregard. I did not check out the other threads about this issue.

Ok - an update ...
Managed to get the phone to backup to iCloud, so decided to risk the "Factory" reset.
Took the reset option including delete all data and crossed fingers.
It took a while to resotre from iCloud, but everthing seems to be back and ...
Bluetooth now working agaim.
Backup to Computer working again.
And somewhat to my surprise, GMail in the mail app is working again. (The surprise being that the implication of other posts was that this was a 6.1.3 fundamental bug)
Still no idea why the iPhone was corrupted - but at least the "Factory" reset seems to have recovered the situation.

Shared iCloud calendar colour keeps changing

I haven't had this problem for a while, but this week my the calendar my wife shares with me in iCloud keeps changing colour.
I am running iOS 6.1.3 and we have had the shared calendars set up for ages. Now no matter what i do her calander displays as blue, even though it is yellow when i log into iCloud on the web.
When I change to colour to purple on either my iPad or iPhone the colour changes on the web iCloud calendar but displays as blue in iCal on my mac, and in iCal on both my iPad and iPhone.
I haven't added any other new calendars or accounts recently, so I have no idea why this is happening (again)
Anyone else having this problem and/or found a solution?

I started having this problem in late June. Both the names and colours for some of my shared calendars suddenly changed to the names and colours used by the calendar owners (instead of the names and colours that I have assigned to them). This had worked just fine ever since shared calendars became available until June, 2013. My Mom and my sister are having the same problem.
I reported the problem to Apple support on July 3, and they ran through some troubleshooting with me. The names and colours are correct on the calendar app in Mountain Lion as well as iCloud.com through Safari on my Mac. However, when the calendar syncs to any iOS device, the namea and colours on SOME of the shared calendars change. This even occurs when setting up a brand new iPad for the first time.
If I change the name and colour on either my iPhone or iPad, the change seems to sync back to iCloud, but, just a few seconds later, the calendar app on iOS begins syncing again and the names and colours change back.
I spoke to two levels of support at Apple who were not able to resolve the problem. The second rep said the problem needed to be forwarded to an Apple engineer for investigation. It's now been over a month, and there has still been no response from their engineers. I've contacted Apple twice for an update, and they said the engineers still have not replied.

Calendar App keeps asking for my Yahoo password

If I start up the Calendar App in Mavericks, I am constantly asked for my Yahoo Account password.
I enter the password, nothing. So Calendar asks me again, what is the Yahoo Password?
I have deleted the iCloud account from my iMac.
Reset up a new iCloud Account.
Changed the Yahoo Account password.
Trashed Yahoo Mail accounts in settings on iMac and iPad.
Then readded Yahoo Account in Mail settings w new password.
I made a calendar date on my iPad, the iMac immediately showed it.
So incidents are synced.
So why can't Calendar accept my yahoo password? Or do I even need Calendar to open, if all date incidents are synced?

Back up all data.

IOS7 Reminders app keeps changing color

With the updated version of the Reminders app in iOS7, users now have the ability to set a color scheme for each list they have created. However, the color of my default list keeps changing back to orange every time I either add a new task or mark a task as completed. Regardless of how often I manually change the color option back to any other color (I'd prefer red for my default list), that particular list always reverts back to orange anytime the list is modified. Although its not huge issue, its becoming increasingly frustrating that I cannot set the color of the Reminders list that I use all of the time.
Anyone else experiencing this issue and are there any solutions?
Thanks!

Hello SofaKeenGrad,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Reminders app will not keep the color you select for some reason.
I have a few recommendations for you here:
First I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, next I would restart your iPhone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, I would try backing up your phone to iTunes, then restore your phone.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Before you restore your phone from your backup, try setting it up as new, and verify the Reminders app works as expected. Then restore from your backup, and test the issue again.
All the best,
Sterling

Calendar app keeps freezing

I've got an ipad mini which I've had for a few months and have not had any problems until now. Every time I try to look at March 2013 in the calendar app it force closes. It doesn't have any problems on any other month or view (day, weekly etc even if its in march). If I hide all calendars it works again but even if I add a calendar which I know is empty is still freezes.
I've tried restarting, resyncing and removing and adding accounts such as google but with no luck. Anyone else had a problem? Or does this mean that the end of the world is in march?? Lol

Calendar app stuck in "moving calendars to server account" after yosemite upgrade

No matter how many times I force quit (because its essentially frozen) the Calendars app on my MacBook, it is constantly going through the same steps and freezing on the "Moving Calendars to Server Account" stage. I just recently upgraded to Yosemite and did not have this problem when I upgraded to Mavericks. How do I stop this?

Hi, cmarthur.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

New iPad Calendar app and E-mail, Calendar and Contacts setting crashes

The Calendar app has just started to crash. I cannot open the app at all, not even after forced quit. Tried to remove the calendar in the Settings app, but noticed that the E-mail, Calendar and Contacts section also hangs. What to do? It works fine my iPhone.
Thankful for any help.
Regards
Sam

I agree this is most needed, but also for the iPhone & iPod touch devices. They should also allow changing what day is the start of the week (instead of being stuck with Sunday). iCal actually allows you to have the week view scroll by day, so you are always looking at the next 7 days, versus some dates in the past.

How to set up iOS calendar app with shared Google Calendar data

At work (in our small office) I've been given access to the shared Google Calendar that has our work schedule. It was set up using this page (click on Share an existing calendar):
https://support.google.com/calendar/answer/37082
The question I have is how to set it up to work with iOS calendar app on my iPhone?

"currently there is no shared group calendar support."
Well, not really. You hinted at it with: "set up a group wiki."
Go into Workgroup Manager and set up an Open Directory group. Add people to it.
Each client must then go into iCal --> Preferences --> Accounts and add an account. The name and password entered must be the same as that added to the group, Kerberos must be unchecked, and the account URL will be like (fill in the blanks properly):
http://<your domain name here>:8008/principals/groups/<your group name here>/
Now each properly logged in user of that group can make changes to the shared group calendar, without any "hacks" like making dummy users and delegation.
However, I am getting a notifier: "Request Error: Accesss to <event name> in <your group name here> in account <your group name here> is not permitted." But that seems to be a lie, since multiple members of the group can make changes and others can see the changes.
Oh yea, make sure you have a functioning DNS with valid reverse lookup.

The calendar app doesn't display calendar

The calendar app on my macbook pro used to open to a calendar when I clicked on the icon. Suddenly, today no calendar appears when i click on the icon. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Bigbandss,
Paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Then open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.

I cant get the calendar app to sync any calendars.

I just got my Droid 2 and I am trying to set up my calendars like I had in my old phone but I cant get the calendar app to sync to my only gmail account's calendars. When I try to sync it just brings me to a page that says I can sync contacts and mail but not calendars. Can someone tell me what Im doing wrong?

Just checking:
When you go to: calendar > menu > more > calendars there are no calendars listed that are "synced, visible" ?
And My Accounts > gmail "account" > Sync Calendar does not exist?
Are you logged into your gmail account? And can receive email?

IPad Calendar App cannot add google calendar

I have just purchased an iPad Mini 3. Have added google account but for some reason the google calendar does not show in the calendar app. It works fine on my iphone. In fact, in the "settings" page of my iPad there is no "default calendar" line, although there is one on my iphone. Anyone have any ideas how to add my google calendar to the native calendar app on the ipad?
Thanks.

Problem solved!!
As I mentioned I tried everything I could think of to fix it, but nothing worked. But in a desperate attempt I did a factory reset of the device, and skipped everything I could and jumped right to setting up my Google account. And suddenly it showed up!

How can I sync my iPad calendar app with my iPhone calendar app?

I use my iPad calendar app a lot. How can I get the info on the iPad app to sync with my iPhone (it's the same calendar app). Thanks in advance for the help.

I guess there are a few ways to do this. I make my iMac the "home" for calendar and contact info. I make sure it is current and accurate. I sync my iPhone and my iPad2 to it frequently. If I enter new calendar data on the iPhone or iPad when I get home I sync them to the iMac to be sure it is current.
We use BusyCal at home so all our Mac's are automatically synced to one another and we sync our mobile devices to the computers. So I sync my iPhone and iPad to the iMac and all of them have the same information.
We do not use Mobile Me or another other web based service for calendar syncing since we feel that give us less control and more complexity.

How do I sync my Windows 8.1 Calendar App to Google's Calendar via Gmail?

I am setting up my calendar through my HP ENVY 15 Notebook PC.
I have my business email address setup through Gmail... which I have a Calendar App on my phone for.
How do I sync the two?
Thank You!

Hello,
Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum.
I am afraid that you cannot use the built-in Windos 8/8.1 Calendar app with Google services:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows-8/use-google-windows-8-rt
The MS vs Google "battle" prevents this. A workaround Microsoft suggest is to import your Google Calendar to Outlook, which is not suitable for business email.
I suggest you install some additional application such as Google Chrome with their apps inside or Microsoft Outlook (part of MS Office), or different. If this is business/company email, I suggest you check with your local helpdesk or local company support guys.
Best wishes,

Calendar events keep changing back after I change them

On my iMac 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz, Yosemite loaded, calendar 8.0 events will not change. I can add events but not change them. I've tried refresh. I've followed all the troubleshooting re: to iCloud.

Apple's Mail application can use either IMAP or POP. In fact Gmail can be set either way.
