Transferring calendar to different default calendar color

I sync my iPod Touch with my Microsoft Outlook calendar. It was originally synced with the red colored default calendar on the iPod until it suddenly changed the color to a turqoise calendar, which is very difficult to read. This occurred without any notice and with no changes to settings on my part. I am not sure, however, if it happened after updating the iPod touch software. I think it might have since the turqoise calendar option wasn't available previously. I would like to change to a more readable color. Is there a way to change the default calendar color and resync my Outlook calendar information with the new default? So far, I have not been able to accomplish this by changing the default calendar in the ipod settings (i.e. it does not result in resyncing of past calendar events). Any thoughts?
Thank you for your help.

If the calendar you want to share is an iCloud calendar, you can share it with your wife as a private calendar (which gives her both read and write access) by inviting her using her iCloud ID as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.

  • How do i have multiple calendars on my default calendar setting?

    How do i get shared calendars onto my default calendar so i am able to view everything in one place? 

    The default calendar is the one that events are added to unless you specify something different. Their can be only one.
    What are you syncing your phone to for calendars? Gmail? Outlook? iCloud? Something else? Without knowing that, it's hard to give advice.

  • Setting the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar on my iPhone

    Guys, my question is quite simple. I have tried in many ways but I can't manage to set the Mobileme calendar as the default calendar in my iPhone. At the moment, the default is the iPhone calendar, which doesn't sync with my Mobileme account and consequently I have all my appointments only on my iPhone and not in my Macbook Pro or my PC.
    Any advice on the above will be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

  • My ipad has stopped syncing my calendar. Both iPhone and ipad.  After going to the setting - mail, contacts,calendar my Ipad has no where under the calendar category for default calendar.  How can I get my calendar to sync between iPhone and ipad???

    Up until recently my calendar were syncing (between my iPhone 4 & ipad mini). They are no longer synching.  I have searched and everything matches to all the resolutions, the problem is on my ipad under Calendars in the settings there is no option for "default calendar". Every other option matches to what is on my phone, just the default calendar option is missing.  The default email is the same for both.  Help!!!!
    Thank you

    An interesting additional symtom is that items loaded in the PC (which immedialely duplicate to the iCloud calendar on eht PC - no worries, there) do not transpose the devices (as above) but, loading an item into the phone, it goes to the PC (which is fine, too).  But not to the iPad.  Interestingly, there fewer calendar display options on the iPad than on the phone.
    I talked to Apple a few months ago (after ISO 5) - mainly about the 6000 plus addresses that suddenly appeared in my Contacts - and his advice was do all contact and calendar actions on the PC.  "icloud is still faulty"
    So there we are!   I must have items and reminders in my PC - it is my main work station - and need them on my devices to avoid conflicts when away from my office.

  • How do I add my gmail calendar to the default calendars list for reminders?

    When I right click on a time/date in my mac mail message to add it to a calendar, it defaults to my home calendar.  As best as I can tell this is determined by the option for setting your default calendar for reminders in the preferences for iCal.  In my preferences for iCal I can set my main calendar preference to my gmail calendar, but I can not set the default calendar for reminders to my gmail calendar.  My gmail account shows up as grayed out and doesn't show any of my gmail calendars as options.  Is it possible to set reminders to my gmail calendar?  How?  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Google Calendars do not sync Reminders (what Google call Tasks) via CalDAV. That is why you cannot set up the default iCal Reminders list to the Google options.
    Best wishes

  • Is there a way to create three different physical calendars in ical so that I can get a fiscal view of the calendars?

    Is there a way to create three physically different calendars in iCal so that I can view the calendar and events from a fical point of view?

    iCal just shows the calendars you have created in your account(s).  So if you are using iCloud just log into your iCloud account in a web browser and make as many new calendars as you wish to have.  Then enable those in iCal.
    If you use Google accounts or something else for the calendars, then create them as needed, and enable them in iCal.
    I have several separate calendars all displayed in iCal - a couple linked through my Gmail accounts, and one through my iCloud account.  Each uses a different default item color so they are distinct in iCal.

  • Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?

    I never found a post with a sufficient answer to this question. However, it seems as though I may have stumbled on a resolution myself.
    iCal has it's own default calendars: Home and Work. I use MobileMe so the MoblieMe calendar is listed there as well. I also have an iPhone 4. I wanted all calendars to syncronize automatically when I create a new appointment on any of the 3 locations (laptop, cloud, or phone). I found that when create a new event in iCal on my macbook pro, it wouldn't update with mobileme or my phone. This was because when I double click to create a new event, iCal automatically puts the new event into my "Home" calendar, even though it was unchecked and not highlighted. As soon as I double click to create the new event, iCal's default kicks in and the Home calendar in the "On My Mac" section suddenly becomes checked and highlighted all by itself and the new event is automatically placed there, never to be updated with the cloud or on my phone.
    I think the problem may be related to something I read under "How Do I Set a Default Calendar for New Appointments in iCal?" There a solution given was that the uppermost calendar was being defaulted to and it was suggested to drag the desired calendar to the uppermost position. None of my calendars would drag anywhere. However, I find that if I uncheck Home and Work in the column on the left under "On My Mac" AND then click the arrow so those two calendars are hidden (very important), and then check and highlight the only showing calendar: MobileMe, that (so far) when I doulbe click to create a new event, a new event is created in the MobileMe calendar, and Home and/or Work under the "On My Mac" section never becomes checked or highlighted. So the new event is created only in the MobileMe calendar listed and updates on my laptop, in the cloud, and on my phone.
    So far that has been my experience; but, it has been only minutes since I tried that, so let's see what happens after a couple of weeks or so of normal use and see if the problem is actually resolved.

    I have been searching for this information for weeks now -- thank you!
    This works for Google Calendar as well as for Mobile Me. I'm going to type a little more information here to see if I can help this answer come up more quickly for other users when they keyword search as I was doing.
    This answer helped me reset and change the default calendar for iCal. I can now set my Google Calendar as the default calendar in iCal. When I create a new event in iCal, it syncs to Google Calendar as the default calendar without having to choose another calendar. All my iCal new events now go directly to Google Calendar and sync to my iPhone and iPad. I couldn't move the gmail google calendar to the top position, and just unchecking Home and Work didn't change where new events defaulted. Now my new events automatically go from iCal to google calendar, and I don't lose track of any events. I think you can set any calendar as the default iCal calendar for new events using this approach.

  • Default calendar

    Hi, can I use a "subscribed" calendar as my default calendar ? Not sure how to change from my current default ( if i can ).

    Hello Jake7363,
    If you do not have the calendar option available under the email setup option for you integrated Gmail® account remove and re-add the account, this option is available for BlackBerry® Device Software 5.0.0.176 to 7.1.
    Then have a look at the following article on how to enable calendar synchronization with a integrated Gmail® email account: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB24204.
    Thanks.

  • ICal default calendar for new event

    When I sync a new iCal event from my PDA to iCal on my Powerbook, it defaults to a named, published calendar rather than "unfiled". Because of this, I immediately have to go through and change any new or changed events that have been sync'd to prevent them from being incorrectly published. I want to use the "unfiled" (and unpublished) calendar as my default calendar for new or changed events that I sync from my PDA, how do I do it?

    If you are using iSync, press the Tungsten icon in its main window to drop down the configuration pane. Select the Unfiled calendar under the Calendar section as the Put events created on Palm into: option.
    In the Missing Sync for Palm OS, double-click the Mark/Space Events conduit and select Put items from read-only calendars into: Unfiled. You have to create this calendar in iCal if it is not present already, before it can be selected in the Missing Sync.

  • How do I make the icloud calendar my default calendar in Outlook?

    If I set an appointment inOutlook it goes to my outlook calendar but not to my iCloud calendar. Is there any way to have the iCloud calendar be the default calendar?

    You can't, Outlook does not allow for subscribed calendars to be the default, unless they are Microsoft Exchange calendars.

  • "Default Calendar" not working with Mountain Lion?

    I have two write-able calendars on my Mac running Mountain Lion (recently upgraded from Snow Leopard):
    1) an On My Mac calendar generated by the Library Books app -- tells me when books are due
    2) a Google calendar shared with family
    By default, I want all invites to go to the Google calendar.  I set that in:
    Calendar -> Preferences -> General -> Default Calendar
    But everything goes to the calendar On My Mac.  It seems to ignore the Default Calendar setting.  The only way I can get invites to default to my Google Calendar is to remove the On My Mac calendar.  I removed and re-added both calendars.  Same issue.  Instead of an On My Mac calendar generated by an app, I created a temp one.  Same issue.  It seems to prefer any calendar On My Mac ahead of my Google calendar.  Any On My Mac calendar generated seems to be at the top of the list of calendars automatically, and that's what appears to be used.
    What gives? 

    I managed to sort it out! Make sure that in system preferences, under mail, contacts and calander, that iMessage is selected. In my case it said google talk. click the box and your ready to go!

  • Google calendar as Siri default

    When I use Siri to make an calendar event, is it possible to have Google Calendar as my default calendar?

    Hey there!
    It sounds like you are wanting to use Siri to create new events using your Gmail calendar by default. You can set the default calendar in the iPhone Settings:
    Several settings in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars affect Calendar and your calendar accounts. These include:
    Default calendar for new events
    From: Calendar settings

  • How sync iPhone Calendar back to Google calendar?

    (1) Events I add to the iPhone Calendar app or the Mac OS X Calendar app do not get synced to the Google calender I view at https://www.google.com/calendar. However:
    (2) Events do sync back and forth between my iPhone Calendar app and the Mac OS X Calendar app -- via iCloud: if I add or delete an event on one, it adds or deletes on the other.
    (2) Events added to Google calendar at https://www.google.com/calendar opened in Safari do get synced to my iPhone Calendar app and to my Mac's own Calendar app.
    How do I fix (1)?
    Settings:
    On Mac, iCloud Preferences:
    Calendars & Reminders is checked.
    On Mac, Calendar Preferences > Accounts:
    iCloud account is enabled with Push, and
    GMail account enabled with Refresh Calendars set Every 5 minutes.
    On iPhone, Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Accounts:
    iCloud account has Calendars set On;
    GMail account has Calendars set On.
    What else is there to do? or to change?

    What calendar is the default calendar on your iPhone,
    Forget it, let's simplify.
    Use your Mac only, open Safari and go to your Gmail calendar on the website, then open the calendar app on the Mac so you may see what happens.
    1. Put a test event on the calendar on the Gmail website, it should appear in Calendar on the Mac within a few minutes, post back when it does, or if it does not.
    I'm going to want to see screenshots of settings from now on, if you don't know how to take and post them please ask.
    An event put on my Gmail calendar at the Google web site already does get synced to my iPhone Apple Calendar app. That was never the problem.
    And that was not the question, I am trying to establish what is what, it's a process, you still have not told me what are the default settings, If you wish to continue doing it your way feel free to, this is not easy when you do not answer my questions or perform the steps I need to establish what is going on.
    Sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to do now. (I DO understand troubleshooting, especially as I am a beta-tester for various programs and have been over the years.)
    I just added an event on the Gmail calendar at www.google.com/calendar, and it synced almost immediately to my Mac's Calendar app:
    Here are some settings on the Mac:
    (The redacted 3rd mail account is one that does not have any such thing as calendars -- just purely an email account.)

  • I have a question about the calendar on the ipad2. I have multiple calendars in different colors. Some of the events are filled in with color. Others are just listed with a colored dot in front of the event. Any ideas why events ar showing up differently?

    I have an ipad2 and my question is about the calendar. I set up multiple calendars with different colors. Some of the events show up in filled color. Others only show with a colored dot in front of the event. I can't figure out why some show up one way and others show up differently? Any thoughts?

    On mine the ones that show on a coloured background are all-day events, the ones with dots and just timed events.

  • ICal calendars revert to default color on opening

    Since upgrading to Tiger & iCal 2.0.1 (1029) my calendars change from my chosen colors each time I open up my notebook. It happens whether or not I have quit iCal before the notebook goes to sleep or gets shut down. Each time it opens up again my own calendar (for example) is red - I reset it to purple in the info pallet, but on opening next time it's red again. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Bump - This topic had several threads some time ago - and we were all expecting/hoping for answers and what was suggested to be an easy fix. Does anyone have any update as to when this problem will be resolved? Thanks
