I-Cal is stuck on a window - The server responded with an error.

My i-cal is stuck on this window - it's a long reminder I attempted to insert.
I've checked on forums and they say go to 'Preferences' but I can't even do that.
I've tried Force Quit and re-starting the machine but it comes back the same.

That's probably the MobileMe or iCloud password. 
Go to System Preferences > Mobile Me (or iCloud).  If you're not logged-in, do so.  If you are, log out and back in again.

  • Entering description of event into iCal, pasted too much text into event, responded with The server responded with an error. Preferences is greyed out, and window pop up comes up every time I open iCal and doesn't go away. Force quit, still opens. Help?

    While pasting event description into iCal, accidently pasted too much text, causing "The server responded with an error" pop up. This pop us includes the event description, but because of the mass amount of text, the window shoots off the screen to the bottom, so if there was an exit red "x" available, it isn't visible or accessible. The iCal>preferences is greyed out and I have force quit and it pops up each time I use iCal. Is this even fixable?

        I can see that this issue has been quite extensive, and frustrating, and I am so sorry for all that has happened societygirl! I would like to help you work this issue out.

  • The server responded with an error "502"?

    What does this mean in i cal?
    The server responded with an error "502"?

    I am tired of how Yahoo has gotten worse and worse. It is the ONLY account I get problems with DAILY (even after removing and re-adding). AOL will act up once in a while not taking a saved password but accepting it when OK is clicked.... But Yahoo is always responding with such errors.... Today's calendar error is:
    The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “Yahoo” failed.

  • 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. 

  • When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed."  After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error."  How can I get rid of these?

    When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error."  How do I get rid of this.  The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

    Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
    Step 1
    From the Calendar menu bar, select
    Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
    Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
    Enable this account
    Then check the box again. Test.
    Step 2
    Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
    Step 3
    If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
    Step 4
    Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:  
    ~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache  
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
    Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • "The Server Responded With An Error"

    Y'day I was pasting details of a reserv into ICAL.  it was perhaps too much data.  As soon as I clicked to paste, I got msg "The Server Responded With An Error" & below that was the info I was copying into my calendar.  Then calendar froze.  Then "Force Quit", then reopen Ical & the same msg appears and frozen.  I attempted to drag the msg to trash to no avail.  I rebooted computer.  Everything else is working on my MacBookPro.  I do NOT have Lion.  Thks

    That sounds like something went wrong in the database the governs syncing.
    Restore from your backup to restore your calendar.
    Reset your sync history: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/3.1/en/9247.html and then follow the steps:
    Go into iCal > Preferences > Accounts and delete the MobileMe account from here.
    If you are using it you can then re-add it and be careful to enter in the correct name and password.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:
    Home > Library > Caches
    Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
    __NOTE: Removing these files will 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 and test.

  • 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....

  • 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.

  • "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!

  • "The server responded with an error. The server is currently unreachable or the connection was blocked"

    Hi, since this morning i receive this message on my Mac Air (10.8.5) when i open iCal (which is synced through iCloud): "The server responded with an error. The server is currently unreachable or the connection was blocked". You know what it can be?
    Thanks for your help!

    Are you behind a firewall at work or elsewhere?  Does you calendar sync with some other system like google (could be the google server is not responding)?  All we know from the message is that your mac cannot reach the server.  Maybe try later.  Are you using wifi or have an ethernet connection to the router?

Maybe you are looking for
