Calendar cache could not be moved because...permission

after updates associated is iOS5 and icloud iCal won't open.  i get the message: Calendar cache could not be moved because you do not have permission to access calendars.  I checkd permission and my users wasn't there.  i added it, and no help.  I also repaired permissions from disk utility.  I quick search looks like this has been a common problem with most every new verion of 10.x..but the fixes are slightly different.  anyone have a fix for lion? 

Dave,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you ever tried to change the "Sharing & Permissions" setting of any files/folders on your Mac?
Where the heck do I find this mythical "Calendars" item?
Open your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder. Using "Get Info," what is the Sharing & Permissions setting for the Calendar Cache file in that folder?
What is the Sharing & Permissions setting for the Calendars Folder.
I've already tried re-installing iCal with my Snow Leopard install disc and it did no good.
Since you have reinstalled iCal you should also download and reinstall the Mac OS X v10.6.3 v1.1 Update (Combo)

    I am receiving the message“Calendar Cache” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Calendars” and then it crashes....why?

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ 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 Terminal in the page that opens.

    I have  checked that there are no tables associated with any user in tempdb. Any help is appreciated.
    Regards,

    this basically is a re-write of an existing stored procedure that will show
    temp tables in the tempdb, and their relative size. I also have a query to
    show the size of tempdb in MB that i used with this one, it is also a modification
    to an existing system stored proc that shows allocated and free space in MB.

  • HT2513 "Calendar Cache" couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access "Calendars".

    It keeps on asking this question every time i open iCal. What do i do? please help!!!!

    Spidey,
    Have you tried to "Repair Disk Permissions" using Disk Utility?
    What are the "Sharing & Permissions:" settings for your Calendars Folder? You can find the Calendars Folder by selecting Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" key>Library>Calendars. When you get to Calendars Folder, right click on it and choose "Get Info." The Priveledge listed for (yourusername (Me)) should be "Read & Write."

    It sounds like you are either not logged into the server or there is a permissions problem. For the latter you need to contact the server tech support.

  • Item '(item name)' could not be moved message

    I get the message "The item '(item name)' could not be moved because '(folder)' cannot be modified." when trying to copy files from my iBook to my iMac over the network. This includes Home, Desktop, and other folders. The odd thing is this has worked fine in the past. I checked and File Sharing is enabled on both computers.
    However, I can copy files to/from my iBook when on my iMac with no problems.

    On the iMac, select the folder you're trying to move the items to and choose Get Info from the File menu. Under Ownership & Permissions, verify that your account has Read & Write access to them, and that they are unlocked. Repeat this process with each folder.

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

    Why am I getting the message "Project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission.) when trying to
    share to the media browser?   I have done this many times before and never got this message.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x

  • The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved

    Hi guys,
    I removed my bootcamp partition to clear up some temp space and expanded the Mac OS partition up to the fullest size again using Boot Camp Assistant.
    The first thing I noticed was that when I restart to computer gets stuck on an ugly BIOS looking screen with a message something along the lines of "no bootable partitions could be found", Easy way round is to hold down the ALT key which brings up a sole Mac OS button to boot from.
    Now I try and make a little partition again using the assistant and it won't let me because it says "The disk cannot be partitioned because some files could not be moved". It then advises to back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended volume before restoring again.
    Is there anyway to fix this lot without going through doing this.
    Will Boot Camp Restore re-instate the OS as well as my user files?

    I had a similar problem when I undid my boot camp partition to make it larger. I tried to make it 50 GB which gave me the same error about the files not being able to be moved. I didn't get the "no bootable partitions" error. I changed the size of the partition to 47 GB and ran the boot camp assistant. It stopped while partitioning and I have to force quit to stop it. I restarted the assistant and made the partition a little larger to 48 GB and it partitioned finally. My suggestion is to ry adjusting the size of the partition and see if that allows you to make the partition at least. For you other problem, I'm not sure... From what I gathered from other forums, the drive might be fragmented which causes the partition error. There is no free defragment tool for mac (dunno why) but they exist.

  • "could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents."

    Hi there,
    I'm having an issue with using my ipod or iphone with iTunes recently.
    If I have a third party app that supports carrying documents and files around on the device like a flash drive (such as Azul or Phone Drive) anytime I try to add a file on the device or copy it to the computer, it says "could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents."
    This wasn't a problem a few days ago, as I use this process all the time. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
    I have opened up the read/write privilages for all folder concerning itunes as far as I could tell and nothing changes.
    Thanks
    -Robert

    Imagine if the error mesage in iTunes told the user there was such a simple solution. For example, if it said:
    "__YourFile__ could not be copied because you do not have permission to see its contents. You probably can solve this by unlocking your iPhone."
    Then people could just continue with what they are trying to do, rather than having to do a search here or on Google to find out what that unhelpful error message meant. Come on, Apple!

  • PSD library: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly ! what can i do???

    PSD CC: extension could not be opened because it is not signed correctly! What can i do???

    The black screen can be an indication of permission issues or other things.  Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
