Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello,
I noticed on the on the website:
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/contacts-calendar-mail.html
There is pictures of the calendar app with different colors for seperate appointments.
I only own PCs with Outlook 2010 (Office 2010 Ultimate).
I also have my outlook synced with Google calendar.
In outlook & google calendars, you can assign different colors, how do I do that on the ipad/iphone?
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.3, I also have an Iphone 4, 4.3.3
You can't. The iCal app in the iPad will assign the colors by itself in a certain order. Lots of folks have complained about not being able to choose colors yourself.

When you create the event in the calendar app, in the Add Event window, scroll down to the calendar that you want to use and the event that you create in that particular calendar will be assigned the color associated with that calendar. The iPad assigns different colors for each calendar that you are using, you just can't create a custom color - at least as far as I know.
I do not want to create multiple calendars.
All I want is to to assign different colors to different appointments to one calendar for example:
work day shift = green, night shift = blue, meetings = red, weddings = yellow, etc.
When I had my old blackberry, all the categories in outlook transfered over to blackberry. Iphone/ipad doesn't do it.
I don't believe you can assign different colors to particular events within a calendar. Only individual calendars in their entirety can be assigned colors.
Create a "work day shift" calendar and assign green to it
create a "meetings" calendar and assign red to it
etc.
