Calendars constantly "moving to server account"
Every time i open Calendar (formerly iCal) on my MacBook Pro, it doesn't load fully. There's a status/progress bar with "Moving calendars to server account..." I can leave my computer on and awake for hours, and nothing changes. No advance on a progress bar, nothing.
I can't access calendars, I can't create new events or entries, I can't look at or edit existing ones, nothing.
If I create an event on my iPhone, it will sync to Calendar via iCloud, but the "moving to server account" message will never go away, and I can't get to my calendars from my desktop.
What do I do? Help!
I am experiencing the same exact problem, have tried Eric's suggestion and a number of other things, and still have the problem.
Someone must have a solution, this is a real pain! Can't get into the calendar at all and has to be force quit.

Calender constantly moving to server account
Since upgrading to Mavericks I get this message "moving calenders to server account". It's constantly doing this and never seems to stop. How can I get on with using my calender as normal?

I have just added I cloud to my PC and my Calendar is stuck trying to move to server account.
It has shown a couple of failure messages but I cannot access preferences as ther are greyed out.
What can be done to stop calendar trying to upgrade?I am having the same issue. I am on MacOS 10.9 and the "genius" at the Apple Store deleted all my events on iCloud and attempted to re-upload them but the Calendar app has been in limbo, "Moving calendars to server account" for days.
If I quit the Calendar app and start it back up it immediately resumes uploading. So currently my Calendar app is unusable.
I would like to do 2 things. First, get it to stop moving events to iCloud. And second, find out how I can sync Calendar events from my Mac (running OS 10.9) and my iPhone 5S.
The reason why the Apple 'genius' was trying to clean out my events from iClous and re-upload them was because despite having iCloud turned on for Calendars on both my Mac and iPhone, they were still not syncing all my events. -
ICal stuck "moving to server account", how to resolve this?
I just got an iPhone and finally am syncing with iCloud, but now my calendars are stuck "moving to server". I have tried many resolutions found on support threads but none are working. I have tried logging out of iCloud, restarting computer, force quitting iCal...when I try to log out of iCloud and Delete on my Mac, System Preferences fails and quits on me. I can't uncheck the Calendars and Reminders box because it's greyed out and spinning. i'm on OS 10.8.5
Same issue...and not happy about switching to Mac!

Calendar app stuck in "moving calendars to server account" after yosemite upgrade
No matter how many times I force quit (because its essentially frozen) the Calendars app on my MacBook, it is constantly going through the same steps and freezing on the "Moving Calendars to Server Account" stage. I just recently upgraded to Yosemite and did not have this problem when I upgraded to Mavericks. How do I stop this?
Hi, cmarthur.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

I have my Calendar app syncing with iCloud. Every time I open it it says, "Moving Calendars to Server Account..." It runs and runs and does not stop. As a result, I cannot access my calendars. Please help.
I have the same problem, I tried the solution of Dr Cox but that didn't work as he said go to system preference then mail, contacts etc. but I don't have that. Can someone help?

After enabling iCloud, the calendar on my MacBook shows a window stating "moving calendar to server account. Then a box appears saying "server responded with an error message 403. Then another box shows "couldn't move calendar to iCloud, an error occurrre
iCloud's Calendar is full of errors and problems for me. The "Couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred" is now gone (by itself) but nothing syncs between my Mac's Calendar to iCloud or my iPhone to iCloud.
I tried creating a new event directly on iCloud.com to see whether it pushes to any of my device and got this "This event couldn't be created because of a server error; please try again." error.
Apple, please fix this!! -
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?

Moving calendar to server account
Weirdest thing just happened. I opened the system preference and clicked on Mail Calendars and Contacts. (This was the first time I'd been here since installing Mt Lion and I had iCloud set up already) keychain started asking me for permissions for a couple things to which I said deny because I didn't want to deal with that then. All of the sudden without me doing ANYTHING else calendar pops up and says "Moving calendars to server account..." Aught I didn't ask it to and now my laptop is hung after a few minutes of it looking like it was trying to copy somewhere. What happened and what should I do. Mouse moving very speratically like bearly enough to stay alive and copy bar is grey and not moving really don't want to loose my whole Calendar

Look for the post by melisolaris
It worked for me as far as I could open calendar without the "moving calendars to server account" & restore my local calendars from my MacBook Pro.
I'll have to check at home if I can manage to set up iCloud sync tonight (I can't do it in the office due to access limitations...)
I followed what Melisolaris recommended and it worked for me too, thanks for linking to it! -
How do I abort the "Moving calendars to server account" process?
Running Mavericks. Calendars only update through iCloud, but I have a permanent "Moving calendars to server account message. Restarting Calendars does not abort the moving calendars process. Waht now?
Hey all, I had the same problem. Everyone seemed to have different solutions that worked for them--but not for me . Here's what actually fixed my problem.
1. Force quit iCal and Reminders.
2. On your computer, unlink Calendars and Reminders from iCloud:
> System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Calendars AND Reminders
(I did this because my Reminders uses my Calenders; I set deadlines for reminders, etc. Also, because my reminders weren't syncing with my iCloud as they should.)
3. It'll ask if you want to delete the calendar and reminder events from your computer. Say yes because you should already have the most up-to-date copy on your iCloud.
4. Open iCal. It should no longer display the "moving calendars to server account" message.
5. Add your iCloud account to iCal.
> Calendar > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
6. Give it a minute to update. You should see all your iCloud calendar events with no error message.
7. Quit iCal. Open Reminders.
8. Add your iCloud account to Reminders.
> Reminders > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
9. Test the two programs by adding test events and reminders to see if they show up on your iPhone and your Macbook.
It worked for me!
Hope this helps you!

Didn't want to move Calendar to iCloud (synching through USB was sufficient and secure) but felt forced to with recent OS update.
Calendar has been unusable now for month. Get the scrolling barbershop pole with the message "Moving calendar to server account".
- It never stops
- While it's doing it, Calendar is frozen (cannot make any entries)
- Cannot get into most menu items (greyed out) so cannot figure out what's wrong.
I feel I'm at risk of losing a decade of Calendar items--for an move to iCloud that I never wanted.Try the solution posted by melosaris here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23475967#23475967.

Mavericks update with iCal issue 'Moving Calendars To Server Account'
I updated to Mavericks a few days ago on my iMac after having Snow Leopard. When I opened up my calendar, as it went to sync with the iCloud it came up with 'Moving Calendars to Server Account and that's been on for the past couple of days.
I tried force closing it and restarting the computer and that didn't work so I'm out of ideas. Any support would be really appreciated!!
Thanks!!Thanks oliverleonidas,
I did actually find this out late last night. The problem now is that I have lost all my iCal entries, as was warned by the iCloud god.
So next step is to get that info back if I can.
I have all entries still on my iPhone and am a little worried about conecting it to the MacBook.
Let me know if you have any ideas on that little saga.
Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.
Cheers
