ICal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for days...??

I have an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone. I have been using iCloud since it came out (running Lion). iCal on my MacBook Pro has been "updating" for several days. Also - when I add an event on the MacBook, it does not show up on any of my other devices (they are all set up with the same iCloud calendars). When I add events from my other devices, they DO show up in iCal on my Macbook Pro.
I am at a loss -- any help would be VERY much appreciated!
Thanks
Kim

Hello
Chance upon your post and yes, immediately after upgarding to Mountain Lion, my "new" Calendar (Desktop, formely known as 'iCal') keeps having the pop up window saying "Updating Calendar..." (I set my Calendar to auto-launch after Startup)
After restarting it will still be the same, but if I quit and launch again, everything will be fine. Will try the method you posted (the thread) tonight. Although I deleted the iCal preferences, thinking/hoping it will help
However, I don't seem to have a problem with sycning of al events, my sync with iCloud and all my macs and iOS devices seem OK.
If events are not syncing into some of your iOS devices, why don't you try deleting the entire iCloud account on it and re-set a new one? I've done that before when events or other data don't properly sync
Cheers

Volume no longer working on MacBook Pro after Yosemite update.

The volume on my MacBook Pro no longer works after the Yosemite update.
"Internal speakers" is selected for device output.
I'm not sure how to fix this...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

Safari and iPhoto judder when scrolling on MacBook Pro after maverick update. Anyone else having this problem?

Screen blinking when turning on my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro after recent update.

Just did the recent software update and my Mid 2011 MacBook Pro 13" when turning on the screen blinks until the computer is rebooted/restarted. Have never had a problem before. Of course, my Apple Care just expired the end of June 2014. Is anyone else having a problem?

When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

Lost built-in camera on Macbook Pro after Mavericks update.

I'm about a year into owning a Mac so still learning a lot about navigating the system. I recently (Feb 28, 2014) "upgraded" from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and have now lost acessibility to the built-in camera. It shows up on facetime and photobooth, but not in image capture. In Skype it works briefly before turning off and requires a computer restart to turn on but then only works briefly before turning off again. I am unable to find it in system preferences anymore so can't check settings. Is there a way to restore previous settings?
MacBook Pro, 15in, Mid 2012
Current operating system: OS X 10.9.2
2.3 GHz Intel Core i7

The built-in camera shouldn't work in Image Capture which is for use with a photographic camera or a scanner. As for Skype you might check if you have the most recent version. If you do, then I would contact the developers about the problem. It's clear that the camera is working with Photo Booth and FaceTime. That suggests there is no problem with Mavericks.

Optical drive won't burn: Macbook Pro after Mavericks update

I have just updated my OSX to Mavericks on my Macbook Pro, late I know but I was trying to avoid any software conflicts. My Optical Drive can't burn either CD or DVD. It plays them and recognises them but won't burn. Error message:
The disc can’t be burned, because the device failed to calibrate the laser power level for this media.
I have tried compressed air, restarting, updating software and have looked through this forum for possible solutions but everything I've tried hasn't worked.
I burnt a DVD yesterday with no issue and then updated my OSX last night and know it won't work.
Please help, on the verge of a meltdown with a heavy deadline looming

My Macbook Pro downloads software updates but it won't install them?

My late 2011 MacbookPro downloads software updates but when I try to install them, it tells me that it's not supported? The software is currently OS X Lion 10.7.5 and I tried upgrading a few things but it won't install. For example, I tried to get the latest update for iMovie, which is crucial for my studies, but it just tells me to update my macbook which is driving me nuts! Help please?

You would need to upgrade to Mavericks to upgrade iMovie to the version now on the App Store.
Upgrading to Mavericks
You can upgrade to Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mavericks can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Mavericks
To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Mavericks from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mavericks is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
     Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.

Apple will replace MacBook Pro bought less than 14 days ago 4 new C2D free!

I have just got off to the phone to the Apple Store, and the rep I spoke to has said that because I am still within the 14 day return period, they will replace my used MacBook Pro Core duo, for the newly released upgrade free of charge, and will refund the £50 price difference.
It looks like my MacBook Woes will soon be soothed with another new, and 'hopefully' perfect machine!

I know, I know -- they DO have it in writing. In fact, since my MacBook Pro is customized (I added an extra 512mb of RAM), according to the agreement, it should not be returnable at all.
Good news, though! There is some sort of "price protection" thing that Apple has - because the new machines came out so soon after I bought it (10 days after I placed the online order! Agh, I wish I would have waited :P), I was able to get $300 back. I didn't even know such a thing existed, but the rep checked on it and told me I was eligible, so my bank account will be credited in a few days It makes the fact that I missed out on the Core 2s by just a few days easier to deal with, at least.

MacBook Pro - mavericks - software update - install frozen?

This week's Mavericks 'security' update install approaching 2.5 hours... Anyone else's MacBook Pro taken that long? Wondering if it's frozen and if there is anything that can be done (in spite of the warning that interrupting the install could damage the computer)?
Thanks for any intel/advice.

Not normal. Shutdown and restart.

My apps crashes in my macbook pro

Hello,
I am having trouble with my applications, every time I start an applcation it crash before it even start and it show me this message (shown in bottem). What is the solution for this problem?

You probably ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" or "MacCleanse" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system and many applications.
The first thing you need to do is remove that software according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
