ICloud Calendar Colors

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 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.

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.

TS3999 icloud calendar issues

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 help

iCloud 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.
Can you link the icloud calendar on the iphone to outlooks calendar on a PC?

ICal Calendar Colors Changing On Their Own; iCloud Connection

AGGRAVATING PROBLEM:
Many in this forum have written recently about a problem ongoing for people with multiple iCal calendars where iCal calendar colors change "automatically" when you haven't selected those colors, or even "change back" before your eyes to some color your DIDN'T select after you select a new one. If you log into iCloud on the Web and try to change the color of certain calendars, they refuse to change. Try as you might, the color you want for your calendar won't "stick" and it is forced to be the wrong color on all your devices. In some cases, even the names of some of the calendars cannot be changed. On other calendars in your list, the colors and names will change fine.
Related symptoms: Calendars you have deleted "come back."   Or, calendars you did not create yourself show up in your calendars list, such as "Calendar" or "Home" or even "Untitled." Note that the problem seems to be most prevalent with calendars with names "Home," "Work," OR either of these words in the NAME of the calendar. For instance, "Bob's Work" might get snagged (it can't be deleted without coming back or its color is stuck and "comes back").
I spent a long time on the phone with a helpful Apple senior advanced specialist on this problem today. We conducted a very large number of "experiments". Our family has two iPads, 2 iPhones, and 2 iMacs, so it was easy to rule things in or out. I will present some information that may help.
SOME OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE GOING ON:
First, Apple has not resolved this. But the problem appears to be related to iCloud, and NOT to individual devices. After de-linking all of my individual devices from iCloud, I could change any of the colors or names at will on any given device, create new calendars and then change their colors to whatever I wish, delete calendars, change names...no problem. However, after re-linking calendars to iCloud, all the problems mentioned above returned. The chances that my iMacs, iPhones, and iPads are all causing the problem independently is very low. They also have slightly different OS versions on them, so it is not likely an a particular device OS, though that could be indirectly related. Also, the colors "change back" within about the same time (usually a few seconds to up to 30 seconds) that it takes to do a "refresh" (i.e. an update) to the iCloud servers. This when iCloud is turned on, and the absence of it when iCloud is turned off (for calendars), strongly suggests that it is the iCloud server and its interaction with your devices that the fundamental cause of the problem.
Apple has said that they are aware of this problem and their engineers are working on a fix. Historically, this can mean just a few days, or it could be a few months, years, or "whenever." They don't give estimates of when it will be fixed. Exactly WHY this is happening is unclear, but my guess is that it is a modification to the iCloud server code that Apple implemented without testing it thoroughly enough to discover this problem. Apple does not admit to that, of course and I don't know if I am correct.
A WORKAROUND SOLUTION THAT WORKED FOR ME:
Please note this is a workaround and not a full fix. Apple needs to run a patch on their iCloud server code. Until then, I did the following which seems to have worked for me for now. Read the whole list before deciding whether to proceed. I don't guarantee it will work in all situations.
Note...I found I was stuck for now with the color of ONE of my calendars. If you are like me, you want to keep that one and work around it....
Backup first... Make sure that your iCloud copy of your calendar data has the calendar event information you want to save - even if the color is wrong. Log in at www.icloud.com and do a refresh to sync to the Cloud. Check over your calendars online to make sure the event data appears to be there for all of your calendars (even if their color or name is not what you want).
Steps:
1.     Go to every device that you have linked to iCloud separately. Go into Settings, iCloud, and then uncheck the "Calendars" option. This delinks your calendars for that device to iCloud. As you do this on each device, when prompted, select "Keep On My" ..iPAD...iPhone...iMac... etc. This will preserve the calendar information on the device so it won't be deleted. I think this is safer, but you can click on "Delete" if you want, too. Note - if one of your devices is an iMac, with OSX Lion and before, you may be forced (I was) to delete the iCloud calendars from the iMac. So again, make sure they are backed up to the Cloud first (or somewhere else).
3.     With the iCloud Calendars Option on all your devices still turned off, go to the WEB and log into iCloud.com. You need to figure our which calendar iCloud won't let you change the color for. You probably already know. On iCloud.com, click on "Calendars," then click open your calendar list and select "EDIT" at the bottom of the dialog box. One at a time, click on the color dots next to each calendar name and try to change the color (you can put any back after the test if you want). You will probably see a certain one that just goes right back to what you don't want. This is the one for which the color is stuck, but you may be able to change the name of it now that your devices are unlinked from iCloud.
4.     Still in iCloud.com, change the names and colors of any of the other calendars you wish to change. Delete any empty calendars that mysteriously appeared without your wanting them. Take note of all the calendars, names, and colors that are on the final list of calendars.
5.     On EVERY device, BEFORE turning iCloud back on on ANY of them: Change the colors and/or names of calendars, delete calendars, etc. so that the calendar names and colors on the device are exactly the same as what you left in iCloud.com in the last step.
6.   One at a time on each device, go back to Settings and then "iCloud" and check again the box for "Calendars." You will be asked whether you want to "MERGE" your data with iCloud. I selected MERGE to ensure I didn't lose anything. Link each device again into iCloud one at a time.
7. When each device is back, go back to iCloud on the Web, or go into iCAL on one of your devices. Set to view ALL calendars. Look for duplicates of some of your events. I found quite several as an artifact of "merging", but in my case it only took me about 5 minutes to go through quickly and delete the duplicates. It deleted the duplicates on all of the devices at once, so I only needed to delete dups on one device. I did not find that I lost any events as long as I kept one valid copy.
Again, no guarantees...hope this works for others. Good luck.

I'm getting the same thing and it's really bugging me! Keeps changing colour to one I do not want and I have tried everything to get it to stay the colour I have chosen!!

ICloud changes my calendar colors. I am no longer able to pick my own calendar colors. This is due to some bug on iCloud. FIX THIS PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY APPLE!!! THIS IS RIDICULOUS. iCloud should not force us to pick calendar colors.

Same here, Calender keeps reverting to Purple a color I never ever even picked, screw you iCloud, you continue to annoy me and baffle me with your inadequecies

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

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?

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.
He wrote;
"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!"

TS3999 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.

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!

TS3999 ios7 iCloud Calendar changed calendar color and won't let me select a different color.

I updated my iphone 4s to ios7 without issue, then I got my iphone 5s and restored from my 4s' backup. Everything worked smoothly and great, except that one of my calendars had their color changed (from orange to purple). Now I already have a purple calendar, which is why this is problem. I have attempted to change my calendar color several time, and I get no error and it look like it works great but a few seconds later it changes itself back to purple. Not the most critical bug, but very annoying. I have attempted to change the color both on my phone and on icould.com, but neither work.

Quit iCal.
Drag the folder ~/Library/Application Support/iCal to the desktop.
Delete the iCal preference files (again).
Delete folder ~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices.
Restart iCal.
Verify that you can add and modify calendars.
If you can, open the Sources folder in iCal folder that you put on the desktop. There will be one folder in it for each of your former calendars. Open each in turn and drop the corestorage.ics file onto the iCal icon. This should import your former calendars.

My iCloud calendar on Outlook 7 (64 bit) no longer displays any information but the info is still availble to send by email. so it seems it's n the background on the my PC but doesn't display. Also the information is in the iCloud on-line 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">

</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 :-)

My icloud calendar and my wife's are not syncing

Hoping someone can help with this issue.
My wife and I both got my iphones on the day the 6's were released. With iOS8 installed, we decided to use the new feature of the family iCloud with my existing account being the primary account and her's being attached to the Family account. We created her a new account and "invited" her to the family account. All seemed to go good. Her calendar appeared to sync fine with all of our events that we had already entered.
Last week our son got his basketball schedule of practices and games from now through January 2015, and after entering them for over an hour, we checked to make sure she got the new info on her phone. She didn't. NOTE: I use the Sunrise app for calendar, which syncs with the Apple iOS calendar (which it did correctly - new info is there). So I checked my iCloud.com account through the PC interface, and all new info was there. Then I checked her iCloud.com account, and the new info is not there. I think that if it was on her iCloud calendar it would come to her phone, so probably not a phone issue. I have used different color codes for the different calendars, and none of the Family info (colors) are on her calendar.
Hoping someone out there may have had a similar issue and can tell me what to do. Other than go back to a single iCloud account as we had together for years. I like this new Family iCloud design better - if it will work
Thanks!

I found out what to do. All I had to do is Invite her from the Calendar I want to share from the iCloud control panel. Then she had to accept it and sign in to her iCloud account. Awesome!

ICal Calendar sync with iCloud Calendar

I am moving from Google calendar to iCal and need some help. I have imported my Google calendar into iCal, but now that I created new calendars (to make different events different colors) events are disappearing. For example - my Google calendar came over to iCal under one calendar (one color) and when I change it to a new calendar (new color) the event disappears from iCal. All of my newly created calendars are checked. I tested this and events created for the first time in iCal do not have this issue.
How to I get all calendars to show at once on imported events?
Once iCal is all straightened out, how do I get the what I see on iCal to show on iCloud calendar? I need iCloud to match iCal so I can add events from my PC at work.
Then finally - I want to add either the iCal or iCloud calendar (because at this point they will be the same and either can be updated) to my iPhone.
HELP!!
