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.

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.

HT203521 In iOS8 I can't turn off shared iCloud calendar alerts. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and am constantly getting their alarms for upcoming appointments. Settings- Notifications- Calendar- Shared Calendar Changes turns off changes only.

Have had new iPhone 6 for 2 months, using iOS 8. I share iCloud calendars with 3 others and I am getting bombarded with their upcoming appointment alerts. There seems no way to turn this off. I went to Settings->Notifications->INCLUDE(Calendar)->Shared Calendar Changes and turned everything off, but this only blocks alerts about new events or changes to events being added to the calendars, it does not block the 5-minute/10-minute/etc. alarms that go off immediately in advance of the appointment. There used to be a setting in iOS7 in "Mail, Contacts, and Calendars" way at the bottom to turn off alarms from shared calendars, but I don't see that in iOS8. Any ideas?

Finally figured this out when I read jodiemcneill 's post about Google calendars. Thanks!
Reposting the basic idea: to turn off event alerts from shared ICloud calendars, select the Calendar App, then click the "info" (i.e., the circled red 'i') icon next to the shared iCloud calendar to be silenced. Go down to "Notifications" and turn the slider off for "Event Alerts: (Allow events on this calendar to display alerts.)"
For good measure, you can also turn off the slider for "Show Changes" to prevent the calendar from displaying messages when shared events are added/modified/deleted, although this can be done "globally" for all shared iCloud Calendars in Settings->Notifications->Calendar->Invitations (turn off all sliders, click "none" for Alert Style).
This has been a major pain in the ... neck ... for the past 3 months. So glad to start the new year with a suddnely-much-quieter iPhone 6.

ICloud Calendar colours

iCloud Calendar colours has finally fixed !!!!

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 Deleted past events from shared iCloud calendar. How can I get them back?

I have accidentally deleted all past events from shared iCloud calendars when removing from one mac. How can I get them back?

i deleted notes fom my old iphone and surprised to see that they have been deleted from my new phone ..how can i get them back ...i dont have any backup??
Why would you be surprised? You were syncing your Notes with iCloud or a Mail Account. Synchronization means when you make a change on one device, it affects all other devices that are synched for the same purpose. Like when you delete an email (usually) it also disappears from your other devices as well.

How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
Thanks!

You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time. When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and replace with content from the new computer.

HT2513 Events added to shared iCloud Calendar first

When I have a shared iCloud calendar, any event I add to my calendar gets added to the shared calendar first, even if I have my default calendar set to something else. This is really annoying as other people are being notified of all meetings, even if they don't have anything to do with them.

Hi thewomandirector,
For calendar events that are not syncing from your iPhone to your iMac, I recommend this troubleshooting article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I recommend troubleshooting the iMac first and then, if necessary, the iPhone. You can also check iCloud.com to see if the iPhone-added events are making it that far.
Cheers!

Shared iCloud calendar events not updating on shared devices

I had successfully set up a shared iCloud calendar with my friend which enabled us to edit and view the same calendar on our iPhones and iMacs.
Everything was working fine until a few days ago when it stopped working. When either one of us created new events, they wouldn't show up on the other person's calendar and when they seldomly did, not even an alert popped up like it used to which the person had to go under the invitations page and accept them.
What could possibly have gone wrong? We tried deleting the calendar then re-sharing but it stopped working very suddenly.

Hi trenten7,
Here is an article that goes through troubleshooting iCloud calendars, including different steps for different devices:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
I would start with troubleshooting the two Macs and then move on to the iPhones.
Cheers!

How to get reminders for shared iCloud-calendar on iOS?

Hi there,
Does anyone know how to get reminders to work for shared iCloud-calendar in iPhone?
I "own" the calendar and have shared it with my whife and she has full acces to it.
We use the calendar for events that we both wan't to have reminders for but we can't get it to work!
If I create an event I get the reminder but not my whife and the same if she creats the event, then I don't get any reminder.
I checked in icloud.com and there are no reminders set in the event that she creted!
I have a 4s with iOS6 and my whife have a 3Gs that runs iOS5 (latest).
Best
Jonas Ericsson

I think you're seeing a limitation of Apples sharing of calendars. It seems Apple may even be moving away from any sharing. If you use the Reminder program for shared todo lists the only option for sharing now is the app in Mountain lion. Once shared it can been seen on all devices but the fact you can no longer initiate sharing from iCloud or an iOS device is not good news for sharing.
Seems very un Apple like not to have the best method for sharing this stuff. I have found it incredibly useful for my wife and I. I have put in feedback requesting better sharing and would encourage anyone needing this stuff to do the same.
As a side note the 3GS can be updated to ios 6. Seems to run well on my 3 gs.

Graph colours keep changing

Hi,
I've assigned a colour theme to my Pie Chart. However, the colours keep changing for the different series values. Is there any way that I can have a fixed colour assigned to a value from the theme? i.e. Red for Unavailable, Green for Available and Yellow for Don't Know? As it stands, BAM keeps changing these colours around as the data is updated.
Thanks

Hi
I am afraid BAM doesn't provide this capability.
You can use background colors in a list view etc. using HTML based on a value threshold. There is a sample on the same on BAM 10g, samples or technotes page.
Also, something along the same lines is demonstrated in Call Center demo as well.

Error Message: "Calendar has unexpectedly stopped" while joining shared iCloud calendar.

When attempting to join a shared iCloud calendar from a family member, I receive this error message:
Calendar has unexpectedly stopped.
An unexpected error has prevented this application from working properly.
Details:
ERROR
SC.Store#find() must pass recordType or query
The details also contain a large amount of diagnostic information which I have sent to Apple.
Is there anything else I can do to prevent this error from occurring?

I'm having the same problem on my wife's computer. I successfully joined several shared calendars from my account, and suddenly started getting this message on the last one. I've tried again repeatedly over the last 24 hours, including sending a new invitation, logging her out of iCloud website, etc.
Did you find any resolution to the problem?

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.

Deleted iCloud calendar events keep reappearing

The other day I was trying to subscribe to a shared calendar (schedule for a baseball team). Instead of subscribing I ended up importing the ICS file into my main iCloud calendar. (This happened on the iPad) Unfortunately this means 160+ events, basically one a day from May-September.
I determined that deleting was quickest using iCal on my Mac. But after deleting the events in iCal, the changes did not propogate to my iPad or iPhone calendars.
So I tried on the iPad. I even did a test by deleting one event, and watching it automatically delete on the iPhone. I should point out here that up to now I have not had any problems with iCloud calendar syncing. So then I proceeded to delete all the events on iPad. But still the events persisted on my iPhone!
Just now I deleted one month of the events from my iPhone. I went to the next month, deleted a few more, and when I went back to look at the first month (July), the events had re-appeared.
OKAY HAHA GUYS VERY FUNNY THE JOKE IS ON ME?
I've logged into icloud.com and I see the events are still present there. If I double-click the event, it gives me the message "coudln't load event details". This only happens for these events, not all my events. And the delete buttons is greyed out! Not sure how to get these events out of my iCloud calendar now.
It makes me wonder if iCloud has some logic built in to roll back changes, if too many calendar modifications happen in a short period of time, as a way to prevent unintentional mass-deletion?

I'm having a similar issue trying to delete entire calendars. They keep re-appearing after I delete them! Happens in Calendars on Mountain Lion and in iCloud website (normal and beta)

Calendar colors keep changing

I haven't seen a question about this posted since iOS 5 came out (and most seem to come from the last decade).
I'm running iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2. I use both iCloud calendars and I subscribe to a number of Google calendars, as well. This problem only manifests itself with the subscribed calendars. I'm glad that you can finally customize the color of a subscribed calendar, but your choices don't stick. I want my work calendar to be red, my travel calendar to be blue, my personal calendar to be green, and a fourth orange. I have set these by clicking on the Calendars tab at the top to show the list of calendars, then tapping Edit, and then setting the colors.
I don't know when it does this, but it will always change the colors to something else. And it's not consistent between the iPhone and iPad. So, for example, the work calendar, which I had set as red, is now purple on my iPad. It's green on my iPhone. I realize the color might not sync between devices, but if I set it as red on both, why is it changing them to something else?
Only thing I can tell is perhaps it happened when the iPad's screen shut off, or maybe when it synced.
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?

I've got what i think is a pretty good fix to this.
subscribing to calandars via iCal on your Mac is the way to go. you can subscribe, set the colour and tell it to push via iCloud to your iOS devices. they come through with the correct colour and stay that way.
all good
however, i can't seem to delete the subscribed calandars i have on my iPhone. every time i delete the subscription, they just come back in again! quite annoying, but at least you can untick it so that it doesn't show up. which it would go away for good though.
much happier now i'm controlling everything through iCal and iCloud

Calendar colors keeping changing to purple

one specific calendar keeps changing by itself to purple. even when i change it back to the color i want, it goes directly back to purple. this happens on my ipad and when accessing icloud on my mac book

It seems that my green work calendar is now purple as well.
In the past work was a light green and personal was a slightly different shade of green. Now it is purple, not my favorite color but it is distinct. It would be nice to pick you own colors
I am an ical user, rarely do I sign in using icloud via the net however this is how all my devices are linked
This happened a while back and then reverted, if Apple would just have some notices of this at least we would know there is nothing wrong. I am getting concerned that my data is not safe !
