HT2513 How can I fix iCal that is jammed/frozen/nonresponsive after trying to past in a calendar entry. I've restarted program and computer. Unable to remove entry and associated message "the server responded with an error" ICal stuck updating. Help?

I was trying to past an entry and the iCal program froze with an error message that can't be deleted, the program stuck indicating updating and totally non-reponsive. i can only exit by force quit. It is stuck on yesterday which is the day I was trying to paste an entry. I think the entry was too large. How can I get out of this. i've restarted the program and the ocmputer but it doesn't change. I wonder if I could use time machine to go back to a previous cal version? Any ideas? I have my cal also on iphone and at icloud so I am not at a total loss. Except that i cal is now totally non functional.

Joe,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart and check iCal for functionality.

OMacbook calendar gets the message "the server responded with an error" and is now not syncing. Any idea?

I haven't done anything to my Macbook (I don't think) but out of the blue when adding entries to my calendar, I now get the message "the server responded with an error". Consequently it will not sync with the Cloud. I have an iMac which DOES sync with both iPad and the iPhone.
Anyone any idea?
ALan

Sorry, no help there. Ical does not stay open long enough to do anything with. All it does is crash and apologise and say it will notify Apple.
Guess I will just delete it altogether and use google calendar.

Calendar is locked on my MAC.
I keep getting the message" The server responded with an error: Access to icloud is not permitted. The server responded 403 to oepration caldavmigrate to server queueable operation."
How do I recify?

We previously had a similar issue when migrating multiple accounts from MobileMe to iCloud. The issue was resolved by disabling and then enabling iCal sync through iCloud on our iMacs in System Preferences.
Always backup your calendar before troubleshooting (File > Export > iCal Archive).
The following steps are roughly from a Apple Support Community discussion.
Open iCloud in System Preferences.
Switch off (uncheck) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
Backup iCal before doing this. You will need to remove calendar data.
Open iCal and verify the iCloud account is removed in the iCal preferences under accounts.
Close iCal, reopen System Preference and switch on (check) iCal sync in iCloud System Preferences pane.
Reopen iCal and verify the iCloud account is enabled in the iCal preferences under accounts.
At this point if the problem persists you might try completely signing out of iCloud and then signing back in. But remember to backup all related data (iCal, Contacts, Mail, Photostream, etc) before turning off iCloud sync!

Constant message:"the server responded with an error"??

how do i fix a recurrent message that interferes with the use of my calendar...the message flashes constantly and says as a title: "the server responded with an error" next it says "access to apple open training in "home" in account "icloud" is not permitted. the server responded 403 to operation caldavwriteentityqueuable operation end of message...then it gives me a choice of ignore, try again or revert to server...until now i used to click ignore and it would sort of not come back that often, now it comes back in about 2 seconds whether i'm using the calendar or not and i have to constantly click it off...the most serious part is that it renders my calendar unusable...i need help!! thank you. ana maria wilson

Greetings,
1. First make an iCal backup: Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal 1 at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.
Once the computer is back up and running open iCal.
Go to iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete your MobileMe account if present.
Quit and re-open iCal and then check iCal > Preferences > Accounts to make sure the MobileMe accounts stayed gone.
Now re-add it as Account Type : MobileMe and enter your full MobileMe email address and password exactly.
Hope that helps.

MY calendar screen on my MacBook Pro is locked up will not let me close. "The server responded with an error" I have tried force quit, and shutting of the computer.

My MacBook Pro 15in mid 2010 4gb 1067, 2.4gighertz i5, os 10.9.5 has locked up the calendar screen displays "The server responded with an error" and will not let me exit the msg or the screen I can use the rest of the computer. I have turned of the computer, force quit and other things. I tried to send a Calendar by email

I tried your suggestion but it did not work (hold shift down when re-launching calendar). Here is the message I keep getting. Help - this endless loop prohibits me from accessing any calendar functions.
The server responded with error.
Access to account “Google” is not permitted.
The server responded:
“403”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

Error message: The server responded with an error.

I keep getting this error message and I don't know how to fix it: "The server did not recognize your user name or password on (mobile me ) account.Make sure you enter correctly. I DID enter it correctly. I've gone to my mobile me account and put in same apple id and password and it opens mobile me. The error message pops up everytime I open email, calendar. My calendar window keeps bouncing up and down after I get the message. Also, on error message, is a calendar icon with the date Jul 17. on it, but I have no idea why that date is significant.
In Sept. I did have to bring mac to Apple and had to dump data and then restore it. This error has happened ever since but I can't figure out why. Please help!

Ical freezes with "the server responded with an error"

Every time I open my calendar I receive "the server responded with an error." The content of an old email is also showing under the message "the server responded with an error."    I am unable to access my calendar.

Back up all data. If you have iCloud calendars, archive them by following the instructions on this page under the heading "Downloading a calendar from iCloud.com." All you need is a web browser, not the Calendar application. Do the same with any other network calendars you have, if possible.
Before taking each of these steps, quit (force quit if necessary) the application. After taking the step, relaunch and test. When the problem is resolved (or when you complete Step 3 without resolving it), stop and close the Library folder.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
          Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. From the folder that opens, move these items (some may not exist) to the Trash, leaving the Library folder open:
          Calendars/Calendar Cache
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-shm
          Calendars/Calendar Cache-wal
Step 2
Move these files from the Library folder to the Desktop (again, some may not exist):
          Containers/com.apple.CalendarAgent (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.Calendar")
          Containers/com.apple.iCal (and any others with a name beginning in "com.apple.iCal")
          Preferences/com.apple.CalendarAgent.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
If the problem is resolved, you may be able to put back some of the items you moved in this step, relaunching and testing after each one. Eventually you may find the one that caused the problem; delete it. Recreate your settings as necessary.
If the problem still isn't solved, put back each of the items you moved in this step, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. You don't have to put back the files you moved in Step 1.
Step 3
Move this folder to the Desktop:
          Calendars
Note: you're not moving the Calendars application; you're moving a folder named "Calendars". If there's no change, put the folder back where it was.
If the problem is resolved after you move the Calendars folder, the event database is corrupt. You have these choices:
          Restore the folder from a Time Machine snapshot or other backup that predates the corruption.
          Use a third-party application such as Calendar Cleaner to try to repair the database.
For network calendar accounts, such as iCloud, all you should need to do is re-enter them in the preferences. For subscribed calendars, you only need to re-subscribe.

Ical Error :The server responded with an error.

Please help!!!!!!! I got Error Message :The server responded with an error. But I can't delete that event which is cause Error I can't find any library to delete my cacha please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.

"The server responded with an error" - Calendar

I get the error message "The server responded with an error" every five minutes from the calendar app, along with the following:
"The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[my e-mail is here]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.
I used to sync a google calendar but deleted it because I don't use it anymore. I just want the error message to go away.
Thanks for your help!

My use case is slightly different; we still use our google calendar inside "iCal", and we got the same error text.
Not sure whether this will solve it longer-term, but I simply deleted the Google account from Calendar / Accounts... and then re-added it. After ~20 minutes, the pop-up has not popped up, so I'm calling this 'success' for now.
Here's how:
In Calendar on the Mac, choose Calendar / Accounts... ( this will open System Preferences / Internet Accounts )
Find the Google account which is syncing its calendar to iCal
Select it (click) and then remove it by clicking the minus icon [ - ] below the list of accounts. Read and confirm that you're removing the account. It's your choice.
Close (quit) Calendar if you have not already closed it. This may not be necessary, but I quit the application just the same.
Back in Internet Accounts, click the [+] to add a new account. Choose Google.
Enter your Google account name and password. Choose Calendar and un-check any that you do not want.
Re-open Calendar and the google calendars should re-sync and display as expected. If you chose any custom colors, you may need to reset them according to your preferences.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

HT2513 The server responded with an error

I received the message "The server responded with an error" while copy and pasting details for an event into the iCalendar. It is now frozen and wont close or go away. UGH!!

Me too! Below is the entire message I receive and it began slowly about a week ago (i.e. the message would pop up periodically). Now I can't use the calendar without receiving this message.
The server responded with an error.
The URL https://caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/principals/users/*******.******@sbcglobal.net///caldav.calendar.yahoo.com/principals/users/*******.******@sbcglobal.net/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.

ICloud, when tries to sync with iCal reverts with the following message The server responded with "509" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation. It would not sync my calendars.Any ideas how to fix it?

Same issue here, hope someone has a clue how to solve this.

ICal issue - "The server responded with an error"

Hi All. I've been having this error pop up on my iCal for the last week after the last iOS update and it's driving me a little batty.
I don't have any shared calendars, appointments loaded in. I'm just running the iCal calendar frm icloud between my Air and my iPhone.
Error that pops up reads:
The server responded with an error.
The URL ***icloud***/principal/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct.
I haven't changed anything in settings. The appointments are still syncing between my computer and phone however, this pop up comes up every 5-30 seconds on my computer if iCal is open.
Ideas on how to fix it?

Is this the pop-up you get?
The request for account “[email protected]” failed.
The server responded with
“HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
I've never seen it before but am getting it this evening (UK time). Also if I try to log in to MMe Calendar it's not logging in but going to 'find my iPhone' like it did when Mail was mucking about a few weeks back.

ICal: The server responded with an error. The event ... was rejected by iCloud because it already exists

I exported my ical to send to a friend, then opened it to make sure that it would work to find out that it duplicated all my events, this how now left me with an infinite error message of "The server responded with an error. ... event already exists".
Please help! It took me amny hours to organise my school calender and deleteing it is not an option.

Yes where is the easy fix? I imported a calendar from my kids school district and whenever I enter a new event the error message for all events pops up.....The solution suggested by one is extremely cumbersome so I did not even try it....
Apple where r u with user friendliness? Please

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: The server responded with "500" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

My iCal won't go online and returns the error message: "The server responded with “500” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation."

OK Now I can answer my own question. The incomprehensible (inexcusably geeky) error message is actually Apple language for saying simply: "The iCloud servers are down again. Please wait until we've fixed them." I found this out by talking to Apple support. It took about 12 hours for the iCloud server synching calendars to come back online. When they did, my calendar reloaded, and everything was fine.

I received the error (in iCal on my iMac): "The server responded with an error". The error message is very large, and if there is a way to acknowledge and close it I can't find it. Because this error message is open, I can't do anything in iCal. Any sugge
