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?

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Yes--all correct as of this morning.

Obviously ist the prob fixed. Everything works fine again.

Hey Apple, please let us know, what's the reason for this.

Mine appears to be fixed as well... YAYYYYY! Maybe posting a link to this discussion, yesterday, on the support site, made someone take notice!

Oct 17, 2013 7:20 AM in response to shaneo77

Yeah, mine's fixed too.

RaySat I am not sure if you write in an official capacity.

I posted this a couple of days ago and have been surprised not to get any response at all.

It strikes me that this has a similar root cause to the colour changing problem.

BUT .. 15/10/13 I discovered that events are self deleting.

That is massively unacceptable.

Trust me, I know how to use iCal and I have been using Macs since 1985.

The exact situaiton is:

iCal hosted on iPhone5 running OS 6.latest

iCal linked via iCloud to 3 other computers and 1 iPhone 4S none of which is manned.

and to 1 MacPro (Mountain Lion latest) is on my desk and has full access to calendar.

I enter a new event on the MacPro and Accept it.

It appears in the MacPro calendar and then spontaneously disappears (within a second).

Let's be clear: No Way, No Way etc. is this acceptable. It is frustrating that colours change, but this is massively unacceptable.

Thanks

I simply had the same color change problem as the others.

Mine got fixed and I was curious if it was just me and random, but I'm really hoping the events wont be self deleting for me and others too.

Yikes! I'm backing up my iCal imediatly.

This is in no way acceptable.

Apple - HELP !

And, I always had a feeling one day that iCloud wouldn't be safe. We now have the answer.

Mine seems to be fixed too and I haven't noticed any problems with appointments disappearing.

One thing I would point out though is that one of my calendars had changed to public, and I have never used that facility so iCloud appears to have changed that itself. I've changed it back and it is now staying private, but it may be worth you all double checking yours...

Thanks, how do you check whether a calendar is public?

Oct 17, 2013 4:15 PM in response to shaneo77
