Why did iCal Calendar names change to todos?

I was a former MobileMe user and switched over to iCloud.  Everything transferred over fine but at some point in the last month all my calendars are now called "name of calendar"todo.  Any ideas how this happened?

Hey Gattypyle,
Thanks for the question. You simply need to go back to Day/Week view, then tap the list-view icon once more.

  • Why did my computer name change?

    Why would my computer's name change all of the sudden from 'macbookpro' to 'macbookpro-2'?
    There's no other macbook pro 2 in my house's wifi.

    The name on a network?  There still may be a session still connected on the router that never got released.  You can reset the router and should restore things back.

  • Why did my calendar view suddenly change? Using iOS 7.1 and I've been using this version for a few weeks with no problem with my calendar. Now the view has changed and I can't view a list mode without seeing the month too

    Why did my calendar view suddenly change in iCal? I've been using ios7 fôr a few weeks now with no problems. Suddenly, without any updates or anything, the calendar view changed and I can no longer view it as a list without having the entire month seen as well.

  • 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!!

  • I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    How do you add musci to the Iphone?  I just installed itunes 11.1.5.5.  Now the format in Itunes is changed.  when I am trying to add music to my iphone, there is no longer an add button under the Iphone device.  Why did they have to change this?  Can anyone help, Im tryiong to add music.

    Correct.  When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box.  This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing. 
    You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands.  It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
    10.6 software is not downloadable.  You must purchase a DVD disc.  You can order it from the on-line apple store

  • Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

    I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
    I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
    Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
    I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
    Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

    Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
    In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
    But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
    The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

  • Why did my base station change names?

    For the last 3 years my network had two names. NicTonTimCap and NicTon guest. I wake up this morning to see flashing Amber light and can only find Harry's WiFi Network. The same password worked but why did this happen?
    Thanks,
    Harry

    When you open the airport utility go to the wireless tab.. has the name actually changed for wireless..
    If so this might all be part of the way Apple is trying to help you automate file transfers by a strange peer to peer process.. although how it can self setup the airport is a mystery..
    I would put it down to a fresh bug in Yosemite.. reset the network names to what YOU want.. if it happens again and you have applecare then ring apple to see if they have some new functionality in Yosemite that automatically changes names of the wireless network.
    I presume your computer name is Harry (or some part thereof).

  • Can't stop iCal Calendar color changes

    I've got 10 different calendars running in iCal. Birthdays (from addressbook), a few subscribed to holiday calendars, and a couple of calendars I created for school and work. I want to have all the calendars in the calendar list on the left to be arranged by categories and color. iCal lets me do this just fine; I make all the changes that I deem necessary, and congradulate myself on being so smart and organized. After I close iCal and open it up again, the calendars are un-arranged and the colors are back to what they were before. What's the deal? Why can't I make changes and make them stick? Thanks for your help!

  • Why did my Linksys router change the password?????????????

    I've got a WRT610N router.  Earlier today I had to shut the power down on everything.  When I brought it back up, it looks as though it changed the SSID that it broadcasts for both the 2.6 and the 5 GHz band.
    Why did it do that???????
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If you press the "WiFI" button on your Router, it will create a new Wireless Network Name and change the Security Key also. Good to know that problem is been solved. Enjoy

  • Why did iso7.1.1 change the ability to see your apps when you use four fingers to partly close the app your in. In 7.1 you could use four fingers to partly close a app and see all the apps on that home screen. I used this all the time to check the date

    Why did ISO 7.1.1 change the feature where you could use four fingers to close an app and see if he other apps on your home screen as you were closing an app. This was the handiest feature I thought because I could partially close the app I was working in and see the  date or other things on my home screen and then released the four finger position and be right back to the app I'm working in. Please change this in the next update back to the way it was!!!!!

    I get the multitasking list (all prior apps, scrollable) and can switch to an app, swipe up to force it closed instead of "at rest" and can click back to the originating app in the same place i was prior to the swipe,

  • Any idea why my desktop drive name changed to '\

    Hi.
    Just sat down to do some work for the first time in two days and noticed that an external drive on my iMac and a desktop folder have had their names changed.  The drive changed to '\ and the folder changed to \
    I found my 3-year-old noodling on the keyboard for a few seconds earlier in the day, but don't think that's it.  The two new names seem ominously similar and suspicious.  The folder was no problem -- I just created a new folder with the old name, copied my files to it, and then trashed the one with the changed name.  The hard drive will not let me change its name, however.  I can click on the name field, but when I start typing, it tabs to the next item on the desktop.
    I restarted, ran Disk Utility to verify the drive in question, and repaired permissions on the internal drive.  I do think I have one tiny bad spot on this external disk, but it's been working fine otherwise and I have it backed up.  But regardless, this wouldn't explain why a totally unrelated folder on my desktop suffered a similar fate.
    Any ideas what caused this, whether I can change the name back, or if it's going to cause problems down the line if I can't? 
    Thank you.

    Do you have children or a cat? I found the same thing after my grandson visited not long after he reached the "mobile" stage. A few minutes banging on teh keyboard of my wife's iMac left the hard drive with an odd character for a name.
    Cats are more computer-literate that many people think. When they walk across the keyboard, they seem to know exactly the right keystrokes to make you computer do odd things--if you are lucky. If you are not lucky, cats know how to leave remnants of meals past of worse on a keyboard.

  • Why did the Share dialogue change from display in a frame to not displayed in a frame

    Hello,
    SharePoint 2013 via TFS install package which installed SharePoint Central Administration v4 and a default SharePoint team site.  This is my system:
    When I initially started working with my default SharePoint Team Site (SharePoint - 80) and clicked on SHARE, I was able to see the Share dialogue in a
    popup frame.  I added a single user to the site.  I also stopped the site in order to start the Default Web site; I had to do that because I guess both sites are default installed
    with the same port number.  Then I stopped the Default Web site and restarted the default SharePoint Team Site.  I have no idea if these steps are related, I just thought I should mention them.
    I later noticed that the Share dialogue no longer appears in a pop-up.  Instead I get the following:
    Why did this change?  Can I change it back? (It's not important to me to change back, I just want to know if I can).  If not, why not?
    I also notice that this dialogue in a new window behaves oddly.  After I add a group or user and click Share, the new window returns to a blank page.  I have to close that page and reopen the Share dialogue to add another entity.  Is this
    normal?
    Thanks.
    Best Regards,
    Alan

    Not something i have observed.

  • Why did my object referance change?

    Hello,
    I dont know why, but my object referance changed from: form1.JustAfield to xfa.resolveNode("template[0].form1[0].JustAfield[0]")
    In the hierarchy window I cant find this "template" object and all my scripts stopped working because of this reference issue.
    Any ideas how to fix this?

    Hopefully you've figured out a workaround by now, but if not, did you try going into the XML and manually changing that reference back to form1.JustAfield?

  • Why does the PDFs' name change when i view them in the iBooks app?

    i have some past papers and marking schemes in my iTunes library....when i sync them to my iPad, they appear just fine....they are there just the way i named them and all...
    but when i open them, the name changes to some coded-ish name with lots of numbers and all that....
    is it possible for me to change some setting and save the name i want for those PDFs? Or am I going to have to live with this madness?
    please help!

    Hello, I wanted to follow up on this issue after reviewing some of the changes with the current update. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1049521] This bug addressed some Windows HKEYs that are changed when Firefox is updated/or installed.
    As an update, a patch has been made and changes are on the way for fresh installs of Firefox :-)

  • Webdav Calendar names changed in iOS8

    I configured several WebDAV calendars on my cloud HD (Synology 212j running DSM 5.0-4493. The calendars used to work fine with iOS7, but not since the recent upgrade to iOS8 (currently running iOS 8.0.2 on my iPhone 5s). Discussions in forums with other users suggest other iPhone models like 4s are experiencing the same issue.
    The problem is that the Calendars that are configured as WebDAV calendars are now showing the Username (the one configured to access the WebDAV services) and not the calendars' names. For example, I used to have a Calendar called Work, another one called Travel, and so on and all accessed with username Toto. Now, in the iPhone calendar list, all of the calendars are shown as Toto, so i don't know which one corresponds to which calendar!
    The calendars are synchronising well, but the naming issue remains. Moreover, I cannot edit the Calendar names. They will always be set back to username Toto.
    Thanks in advance for your support,
    Eduardo

    I have the same problem (IPhone 5c IOS 8.02)
