Color of Calenders in iCal differ from iPhone calender colors

smknSRT8 · 08-20-2008, 03:17 PM

Has this happened to anyone else, where the colors of the calenders in iCal are different than the color of the Calenders in the Calender application on iPhone.

Anyone know a way to fix?

My iCal cal colors match my iPhone. But when I synced my husbands phone to iCal the colors showed up different on his phone. I am syncing his iPhone to my MacBook. I have not tried to figure it out yet, since he does not seem to care about the colors. If I have time I will mess with it tonight and see what I can figure out.

Thanks koko!, I wish I could bring my MBP into work and try stuff as soon as I realize they go wrong, or just play around with my computer! Thanks for looking into it!

I cannot figure this out! UGGGH. It is driving me crazy. Why are my iphone calendar colors fine and his are not when I am syncing both phones to the same ical calendar!

The ical and iphone calendars will only match colors if you are using Mobile Me. If you're syncing through itunes, they will not match.

Where do you know this from...the iPhone just switches the colors for the different calenders. Example

iCal

Personal
School
Work

Now for the iPhone
Personal
School
Work

All of the colors are the same just moved around. If what Flwr said is true, its almost like Apple is playing games and intentionally switching up the colors.

Koko, do you have MobileMe?

I read it on Mobile Me Support Page on apple.com

Sometimes, it pays to do research

And yes, Koko does have Mobile Me and I'm guessing her husband does not. Which would explain why her colors match and her husband's do not.

Thanks, I guess I just am going to have to get used to the different colors, no biggie, at least there are different colors now.

I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you. I wasn't looking for the answer to that question. I just sorta stumbled over it doing research on Mobile Me, so I can't even tell you where I saw it.

Sorry again....

Don't be sorry, you answered my question! I am not surprised that Apple did, they want people to get MobileMe.
