Calendar freezes in 10.9.3

After upgrading to 10.9.3 I'm seeing strange calendar behavior on two different Macs (an iMac and Mac mini, each a couple of years old if it matters).
I can enter new events, but if I try to add details like a location or a note, I get the beach ball.  Anyone else seeing this?

  • A bug in Mavericks. When I open Calendar, I get a message "Moving calendars to server account." Calendar freezes and this message goes on interminably. The only way to stop it is to restart.

    Mavericks (OS 10.9) is buggy. When I open Calendar, I get a message "Moving calendars to server account." Calendar freezes and this message goes on interminably. The only way to stop it is to restart the system. How do I fix that?

    Hi
    - I had the same problem and I suddently found out:
    Close (quit) calendar
    Under System-Icloud : log out
    Open calendar. Under preferences, Account, Icloud: log in !!
    And it works!!
    now the stupid ""Moving calendars to server account" is gone!

  • Calendar freezes after activation of iCloud

    Hello,
    after update on Mavericks last weekend, I have a special issue. I browsed this community, couldn't find someone having my problem, so it seems, it hit's only me.
    Because apple abandoned the local synchronisation with iTunes, I activated iCloud in Calendar app.
    It appears a drop window, telling me that informations are moved to the server account - and calendar freezes!
    How can I activate calendar with iCloud - without having this freeze?
    I need my calendar, and because this drop window (...moving to server account...) blocks it completely and even after 24 hours nothing happened... this is so sad.
    How can I avoid any loos of calendar informations?

    I had exactly the same problem with Calendar freezing during ..moving to server account....after updating to Maverick. In my case it was solved by removing the iCloud account, restart the iMac, and then adding the iCloud account via the mail program. Everything works well hereafter including Calendar.
    If I did not restart the iMac before trying to add the iCloud account again, I got the message that it was a valid Appli-ID, but NOT an iCloud account, which surely is wrong. But restarting the iMac helped here.
    Why this solved the problem, I have no clue, but it did.

  • Calendar freezing/beachballing in 10.8.4

    I upgraded to 10.8.4 recently.  Before this latest update I've experienced a common problem with Apple's Calendar not playing nicely with Exchange's calendar.  Fortunately the upgrade to 10.8.4 seems to have fixed that issue for me.  But now I have a different issue.  When I try to add an event or edit it Calendar beachballs and is unusable [freezes] for a LONG time (45+ seconds).  My processor also spikes with calendar and calendar agent taking up nearly 100% of the processor.  AND when the beachball finally goes away I get it again when I try to continue to edit the event.  I have google accounts and exchange accounts and the problem happens on an event on any of the calendars.  This happens about 90% of the time I try to use the calendar.  I haven't yet removed the accounts, restarted, added them back.  Before I do that:
    1.  Is anyone else having this problem?
    2.  Any other suggestions?
    Oh also - the calendar says UPDATING at the top when it freezes.  Not sure what account it's trying to update.  I changed the default account from google to exchange and back again.  That has no effect.

    Launch the Console 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.

  • Mobileme calendar freezing and painfully slow

    Both my ipad and iphone4 calendars are painfully slow and freeze up. Switching from month to month now takes about 10-15 seconds while it used to be instantaneous. Anyone know if there is a fix for this.

    I have this problem too. My symptoms are that when I open the calendar, the calendar starts, but appears empty. The "network in use" spinning indicator next to the wifi on symbol in the screen header is on. It takes at least 20 seconds and as much as 45 seconds before any calendar entries are displayed. If you try to change the view (e.g., from day to week) or change the date(s) displayed, it also takes a long time to display.
    If I had a slow internet connection, I guess I could understand, but I have a 15Mbps down, 5Mbps up FIOS connection which is really fast. I don't think the problem is related to wifi, but I couldn't say for sure.
    I don't have this problem on my iPhone 4 (also iOS 4.2.1). It's a tad slower than it used to be, but at least it displays calendar entries within a couple seconds.
    When I enter a new appointment, the same thing happens--after I hit done, the entry doesn't appear for many seconds after the appointment entry form has been closed. It's like it has to send it to MobileMe and then download it before it will display it.
    On top of all that, the calendar app sometimes crashes, which it never did before.
    If this keeps up, I'll have to move to Google calendar, as the very long delays makes the calendar unusable in practice.

  • Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" freezes

    Sys Pref panel "Mail Contacts Calendar" completely freezes just by trying to open it. And I've discovered that If I remove my gmail account (from the mail.app) It works again. I've made 2 clean installs of Mountain lion and the problem stays.
    If it helps I have set up icloud, twitter, facebook, gmail and my gmail adress is the same that I use for icloud as apple id.
    Has anybody any idea.
    Thanks.

    This was happening to me too. I deleted the MobileMeAccount.plist file in my user's Library/Preferences folder and the Preferences window now loads and responds to input properly.

  • Creating Card/Book/Calendar Freezes iPhoto 11

    Trying to create holiday cards. When go to Create>Card - get the spinning ball for long period. Go to Force Quit and it shows iPhoto (not responding). Have closed and tried it over and same thing happens. Also went to Create>Book and Create>Calendar and same thing - the spinning ball. Help please. Thanks!

    Glad it worked for you folks, but not here.  Select pictures or not the machine freezes when you try to create book or calendar.  I've selected pictures and not selected pictures.  I've checked for fonts and some are missing, but I don't seem to get a custom install option from my disks.  I can view older calendars, but seem to have no options to change much of anything.
    Now what? 
    I've had nothing but trouble with iPhoto v9 in iLife 11.  Thankfully I still have iPhoto v8 from iLife 09.  I'll go see if that works with the library I kept in the older setup.

  • Centro to palm desktop -- won't sync calendar, freezes up

    My subject line pretty much says it all.  Been syncing just fine until today the calendar won't sync.  Initially it wouldn't sync and the log said my calendar or my computer was full, so it wouldn't sync.  Now, it just freezes up on trying to sync date book & calendar.  Using desktop 6.2.2.  Everything else syncs ok if I set the calendar to "do nothing".  the desktop search for errors returns no corrupted files.  Can't see anything blatantly wrong with the calendar on my centro.  Earlier today, a group of appts disappeared from the phone (before I attempted to sync and failed).  After failed sync, those entries were back, all in duplicate.  I went back and deleted the duplicates (leaving just 1 entry for each) on the phone, but it still won't sync.  There are no duplicates on desktop, that I can tell.
    So, now what do I do????
    Post relates to: Palm TX
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    I had this same issue. I spent about 2 hrs on phone today with palm support. Here is the upshot: there were corrupted records(calender events) on the centro that I had to find and delete. For exampe I would have an event 4-5 years ago that would just have "uuu1" or some similar nonsense. What Palm had me do was go to a third party website and download a trial version of an application called dbfixit. www.pimlicosoftware.com. the software would detect the problem but the free trial version would not fix it so I had to go to each corrupted event and delete it myself.  I do not think my support person realized that the freeware version cld not autofix the problem. So there was a little confusion there.. but eventually I got everything fixed and hotsynched (relief) I hope this helps you,

  • Calendar freezes/crashes when viewing meeting participants (reproducable)

    I've got my iPad synched to GMail / Google Calendar using the Exchange protocol. I also use Google Desktop Sync to sync my Outlook events to Google Calendar, so they also appear on my iPad.
    Now on my Ipad I open a meeting and view the participants. If I then do something like hiding the on-screen keyboard or pressing Cancel, the Calendar app often freezes or even crashes back to the Welcome screen. This happens every time, so it must be a bug. I tried a full reboot of my iPad, but that didn't help.

    I just got my Pre 2 days ago and only now discovered the inability to add attendees to a meeting request....definitely a dealbreaker. They have 28 days to figure this out before the device goes back. I've used PalmOS, GoodLink, and most recently WM for the last few years. As a business user looking for a mix of both the social and business...business basics being a must, I would certainly expected this to be there. I knew I was giving up somethings coming from WM (mature) to WebOS (newborn), but didn't think things like this were missing. Makes me wonder what else I haven't discovered yet. I know they will be making updates, but some of these really shouldn't have been missing. After looking at my co-workers iPhone today, which is not all that superb either for Outlook & Office sync, it makes me wonder if my expectations are wrong and that nothing will every sync better with Office than WM since it's all Microsoft. I'm sure they'll update the device periodically, but this is making me re-think.

  • IPhoto 11 cannot order calendar/freeze on account preferences

    I am using iPhoto 11 on a Mac Notebook.
    Every year, my husband creates and orders a calendar through iPhoto. This year, we upgraded to iPhoto 11 and we were not able to place an order. The order pages were blank. We went to the iPhotos>Preferences>Accounts tab. Our apple ID is not there. What is there are 2 old account names I have not used in years.
    So here's the problem: I would like to delete those accounts and put in the latest account info, but every time I go to the account page, it freezes. The first ID listed is I guess a MobileMe account, and the screen shows "iDisk Usage" and I just get spinning cursor of death.
    Is there ANY way to delete these accounts so that I can order things using iPhoto again?

    Replying to myself....
    Anyway for those of you who where having problems with randomizing photos during/before export (as I was when stumbled upon this thread), I came across an solution that worked for me.
    First I selected the photos from the album I had created, and exported them as original jpgs.
    Then I used this terminal script to randomly generate file names:
    for i in *.jpg; do mv $i $RANDOM.jpg; done
    Further instructions here
    Then, in order not to have duplicate versions of the photos in my iPhoto library, I created a new library, and imported the photos, with random names.
    Made an album, that sorts the photos by filename.
    Made an slideshow from that album (sorted by file name).
    Exported to QT (or whatever).
    Deleted the new temporary iPhoto library.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1692 iOS7 Calendar freezing when attempting to accept/decline/maybe a meeting request from Microsoft Outlook Exchange... (iPhone 5s)

    My iOS7 calendar on my iPhone 5s continually freezes when I attempt to accept/decline/maybe (respond in general) to any invitations that come through to the device... The main ones I get (so the ones I am experiencing the issue with) are from Microsoft Outlook Exchange Account (also synced through Mail app).
    I have attempted to go via the emails I receive with the invitation and the device freezes when attempting to action the request through the Mail app also.
    I'm hard reset the phone, I've removed and re-established the account in the phone, but nothing fixes the issue. It might work for one or two invitations, but it will start freezing again without a pattern...
    This is a real pain, because these meeting requests etc are for work meetings and interviews!
    Thanks guys!

    We are seeing a similuar issue here at work on serveral devices.

    When an email comes in for a meeting invite if you click on the Date and Time in blue it will walk you through opening the invite in your calendar and then I can Accept/Decline without issue.  If you click on the Invitation icon, which seems to be what users intuitively, in the the email then it freezes up the mail app., see image below.

  • Calendar Freezes on JUNE 2008 both on desktop and handheld

    Hi--I have a peculiar problem with not being able to access June 2008 any longer on either of my desktops.  While this may seem a small, insignificant problem--it's kind of ridiculous.  When scrolling through months, it simply will not go to June from either direction or by clicking on the month directly--instead it freezes and eventually the palm desktop shuts down and asks if I want to send an error report...etc  I have the DBFixit software, and it detects no file errors on my handheld.  All other aspects of my machine seem functional and there is no freeze on the sync itself with either desktop.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    *PLEASE READ THROUGH WHOLE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING* 
    This is definetly a tough one. If I had to guess, all answers point to file corruption. The only problem is, even if we do a hard reset on the device, the problem exists on the desktop as well. So as soon as the hard reset is completed and we resync the problem would reoccur.
    There is absolutely no easy way to fix this. You cannot access the data on the handheld or the desktop to manually delete it. I will walk you through something that may, and hopefully will, resolve your issue but be aware we may need to nuke all of your calendar data to fully resolve this issue. If you have a lot of calendar data, I can see this being troublesome to you and I apologize that I do not have a better solution. We can give something a shot though.
    To ensure all data is safe we will make a copy of your username folder in the process. First, open up your "My Computer" > Local Disk C:\ > Program Files > Palm (sometimes PalmOne) > in here you should see a file that is your username. Right click the folder and select "Copy". Go to your desktop and right click to hit "Paste." I recommend you rename the folder to something slightly different, it doesn't have to be much.
    For example: Userfolder's name is: "Bob" you can change it to "Bob1"
    Just as long as a character is added or change you should be fine. Go back into the original folder we made a copy of (the one in Local Disk C:\ > Program Files > Palm). Once you are back there, open the username folder. You calendar data will be tied to a folder named either "Calendar" or "Datebook". Either or, open it and delete the file ending in .dat. You should see a file ending in .bak, rename it to instead say .dat instead of .bak at the end.
    Reopen the Palm Desktop to see if this fixed your issue. If not, next step is to nuke it. Delete the everything inside the datebook (or calendar) folder that is in your username.
    The process would be to hard reset you device. This will erase ALL data on the device so make sure to hotsync before perform this action. For further information on how to hard reset go to kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution ID search field.
    You can then perform a sync when device is backup but all datebook/ calendar entries will be gone. If you don't have many, you can enter everything back in. If you have a lot of calendar entries this is completely your choice if you would like to go through with this.
    I really hope this helps and I am sorry if this doesn't help much. Let me know if you have any further questions.
    -Pat

  • IPhone calendar freezes after it opens

    Lately the calendar on my iPhone freezes right after I open it. Sometimes it lets me touch the screen once, and then it freezes. The only thing I can do after this is press the home button quickly a few times and it takes me to my favorites. If that doesn't work I turn off the phone. I have version 1.1.4 of the software and have never cracked the phone.
    ANY IDEAS?

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order for such a problem are; power the iPhone off and on, Reset by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release (ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so), Restore.

  • E7 Calendar freeze

    Hi!
    I'm using an E7 with Symbian Anna (and with all the latest, available upgrades). I purchased it 2 days ago.
    Somehow i managed to write an entry (?) to a specific day (30Jan2012) which makes that particular day freezed in my calendar. I can't see any entry on that day, but on the weekly view there are colored markings of my appointements and birthdays and reminders. From today the Calendar widget doesn't work on the main screen either.
    It is really disappointing from a business smartphone...
    I can see the entries of the day on my E90. If i'm searching for the birthdate of a particular person on that day in my E7, the searching application collapse as well.
    Could please somebody help me?
    I really don't want to start again the synchronisation process, since it is not smooth and easy...
    Thank you very much!

    I sorted my calendar entries into 5 calendars. If i switch off the birthdays calendar, the calendar application (including the 4 other calendars) works perfectly, on that particular day as well. What the hell could be wrong with a single birthday entry???

  • E61 Calendar Freezes - Help!

    The calendar on my e61 freezes after I sync it with Outlook. It will open, but the calendar is blank with no information. The calendar cannot be moved or the date changed. It can be closed, but will not otherwise work. No calendar data is shown on the standby screen.
    Calendar function can be restored only by a HARD reset. Then the Calendar works properly until I sync it again. After the sync, it will freeze again the first time I open it.
    I have had it serviced twice by Nokia in Hong Kong - it seems that they cannot catch this problem. Perhaps they only do a reset and then think it is OK. They said that they installed updated firmware the first time. It is now 2.0618.06.05 RM-89
    Anyone have this problem or know how to deal with it?

    Strange, since Friday I have exactly the same problem. Nothing changed, checked the new updated entries in my calendar, but no exceptions (like big attachments, ...) found.
    Phone completely freezes, empty calendar. Synchronization (from scratch) does not work either.

  • Calendar freezes

    Calendar keeps freezing - at opening and when making changes. Have a good wifi connection. The calendar has about 5,000 entries and syncs with icloud to my mac.Anyone got any suggestions?

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
