Completing iCloud Set-Up

Question

Greetings,
I just upgraded to 10.7.4 (can't do Mountain Lion yet) and started setting up iCloud.  System prefs stopped responding during the set-up process.  I checked my iCloud on-line account and only my contacts made it into iCloud.  My iCal info did not. 
I can't seem to figure out how to restart the process so that my iCal info makes it into the cloud.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

If your calendar data isn't in your iCloud account, then turning calendar syncing off won't affect it in anyway.
However if it's not in your iCloud account, but rather in your 'On My Mac', all you need to do is move it to your iCloud account.
    1)    Create a new empty calendar from the iCal file menu, select which account you want to create it in.
    2)    If you have only a few appointments you can move them individually by editing them and changing the calendar in the edit options.
    3)    Alternatively you can copy all the appointments in one calendar to another and delete the original.
    4)    To copy a calendar ctrl-click on it from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button (top left corner of iCal) and choose export (export it to your desktop for ease)
    5)    Double click the exported file and choose the new empty calendar to import them into.
    6)    Ctrl-click on the original calendar from the menu that appears when you select the calendar button and choose delete.
