ICal completely shuts down 5-10 secs after opening

This weird behavior has been happening for the past 3 days. I've deleted my preference files but problem still reoccurs. Doesn't happen with another identity. Any suggestions for fixing this problem? I'm desperate.
Thanks, Marilyn

Your welcome
But, that would be "I disabled [.Mac sync] in System Preferences .Mac pane."
iSync and .Mac sync are separate creatures in Tiger and unfortunately this leads to a great deal of confusion.
Now don't right off Palm. There are many folks who sync just fine. It seems the problem is some how related to transitions to Tiger or other upgrades (don't know if anyone has pinned this down yet). I suspect some file or other gets messed up and that throws everything off.
You might try again after resetting. And better, you might want to ask for advice at the iSync discussion: http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?14@@isync

  • After having no internet for over 24hrs, my IPad has completely shut down. I have tried everything I can think of, including a reset but think that was a really bad move!! Any ideas for how to get my pad back? Simple words please..I am not a pro AT ALL.

      My internet was down for over 24hrs after a storm. During that time, my IPad completely shut down and I can't get it going again.  I studied the manual but couldn't find a similar topic.  I reset it and now it is totally goofed up.
       Does anyone have any ideas or should I just take it to an Apple store and pay??  Any solutions you may have, PLEASE use simple words as I am not a pro, by any means....probably why I'm in this situation.
       Thank you in advance.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

  • I am also having trouble with my cursor freezing after installing Mavericks. Never did it before. I called tech support at Apple and they had me restart computer and mouse together from a complete shut down. So far has seemed to work.

    I am having trouble with my cursor freezing between applications after installing Mavericks. Called Apple on my 3 year warranty and opened a case. They suggested a complete shut down of computer and turning off mouse. Then a reboot and turn on mouse. So far iit has seemed to work. Hope this continues??
    Hope it helps others.

    I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
    On iPhone:
    Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
    On Mac:
    Open "Messages" application
    Click "Messages menu > Preferences
    Click "Accounts"
    Select your AppleID account
    Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
    Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
    And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
    To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble.  If it's green then you are using SMS.

  • My ipod touch completely shut down after i tried to update the software. It won't respond at all. Any advice?

    Hi, I was updating my apple software and my ipod touch completely shut down. I got an error message that my ipod touch could not be restored. what the ????
    please help. it wont start at all, no power. itunes doesn't even recognize it anymore.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • VI file cannot be completely shut down!?

    Hallo all experts,
    My VI application is to communicate with an A/D converter. It only works properly one time after opening. I have to totally close LabVIEW, then start it again for a second run. When I run HyperTerminal after stop the application, windows says that another program is using the COM terminal. It seems that my VI application cannot be completely shut down, but Why? Is it normal? There is a producer-consumer structure inside my code, perhaps it is due to the bad synchronization of terminating them. Have you ever experienced such situation?
    Any tips are highly appreciated.
    win2

    I agree with Centerbolt that the best course of action is to manually close your VISA session in your LabVIEW VI before the VI shuts down. Another thing you can do is to set an Environment option in LabVIEW under Tools >> Options. You'll see a checkbox there called Automatically Close VISA Sessions that shuts down VISA sessions whenever the VI goes idle that was using it. Both these methods should save you from having to restart LabVIEW everytime.

  • My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    My iPad 2 won't charge and it's completely shut down. I've tried pressing the two buttons simultaneously, but nothing works. It's driving me crazy! Any offers of suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    1. The most efficient way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad and having that plugged into a wall outlet. Trying to charge while connected to a laptop often doesn't work because the USB port may not provide enough power.
    2. Once an iPad battery has completely drained it may take an hour or more on the wall charger before the iPad responds. So after an hour on the charger reset the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
    3. If the iPad still does not start up make an appt at the Apple store. It will be far better if you have an appointment rather than just walking in because those with appointments will be taken care of before you are.

  • MacBook shuts down for no reason after install of 10.6

    I have a black MacBook 2.1 with
    2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and
    2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    I got it from my mom after she poured a glass of water over it and it wouldn't start again and she bought herself a MacBook pro. A friend of hers dried it however and now only the part where it connects to the battery is broken but if you use it with the powercord it still works fine, so she gave it to me. I installed 10.4 again (which came with it) and had no problems with it (as long as noone messed with the powercord). After I realized however that all the software that is out now only works for 10.5 and up (thanks apple for not even providing the old iTunes version somewhere...), I figured it would be great to install SL (which I was told would work not optimally but fine on this version of MacBooks). Over ebay I ordered a new installation dvd with 10.6 but after backuping my stuff on an external harddrive and starting the installation, the trouble began:
    I had to do the installation about 10 times until it finally completed. During the installation process, it was like someone pulled the powercord (remember, no battery) and it completely shut down. I figured it might just be the installation process that was kinda hard on it but now that I have it working, it does the same thing! After around 20min or so, it just completely shuts down....
    Anyone got an idea why this could be happening?
    I tryed booting from my backup, but even though 10.4.11 started successfully, after like 7 min the same thing happened. I'm completely clueless, I mean it work fine all the time under 10.4 and now since the installation I have these strange problems...
    I would love to just have this **** snow leopard running....
    Thanks for any suggestions! =)

    Thanks for you answer =)
    unfortunately I couldn't open your picture for some reason (403), but its the single disk with just 10.6 on it in a small white package. Seems to be rather old, at least it says 2009 on it.
    UPDATE:
    I did some further checks on it, a friend suggested the symptoms might fit an increased temperature, so I installed Fan Control, which pretty much told me my right fan is broken (for the left one I got a reasonable value concerning rpm but for the right one it just said -1 ...but does the macbook even have 2 fans?) well, anyways, I installed iStats pro in addition and checked all the temperatures and this doesen't seem to be it (it shut down after exactly 40min with all temps being <= 50°C). The next time I turned it on and started with the systemupgrade, it only stayed on for 30min though.
    After I completed the upgrade to 10.6.6 I wanted to test for other hardware failures so I've installed prime95, but 2 self-tests went through without detecting any errors or even bringing up warnings, so it doesen't seem to be the ram either.
    Now my current uptime is 1:30h, so maybe 10.6.6 for some reason solved the problem?
    What I'm still having troubles with however (probably a detail I should have mentioned before...) is the monitor of the MacBook: it sometimes turns completely black, which doesn't affect my external monitor however. This happend during the installation as well (the one time where it didn't completely shut down which enabled my to finish the installation). The screen is completely dark but if you look closely you can still see some shadow of windows and buttons. When I ran the prime95 test this happend as well and after I sent the computer to sleep (close laptop lid) when I turned it back on it didn't light up again either. I didn't really have this problem under 10.4 but it happend to me twice but I think that was related to someone slightly hitting the powercord - at least that was my explanation at the time. Might the problem be caused somewhere there? I've read in other forums that sleep seemed to be a more frequent problem for MacBooks with SL.
    Are there any more tests I could run in order to find out something for sure or are there some logfiles where the reason might be documented?
    Well, my MacBook screen is "off" for now and I'll just keep it running now, maybe I'm lucky and it'll stay on... I would still really like to know if there is some causal relation between the MacBook screen and its turning off completely...I wouldn't really mind just keeping its screen turned off if that solves the problem for sure since I'm basically just using it as a desktop pc anyways but it was nice having a second display.
    Thanks [=

  • My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others

    My 822 now says, "ERROR: Unable to find bootable option. Press any key to shut down." Just happened after my phone froze. Everything I've searched says to replace the phone.  I have no phone in or out, no alarm....what is going on with this?  I see others have the same problem.

    Just got the same error message today.  My phone went to the black screen of death with the error message at the top.  Contacted Verizon via chat.  Was online for 1 hour and 15 minutes only to find out that nothing could be done which I could have told them based upon what I had read on this site.  Of course my phone is out of warranty since I have had it for 1 1/2 years and I am not eligible for an upgrade.  How convenient!  I was told to contact Nokia which I did and they gave me a download to try to reset everything.  It looked like it was working but after almost 3 hours it got to the end and nothing happened.  It just froze even though it said it was done.  I rebooted the phone and am back at the same black screen of death.  Guess I have to buy a used phone and then will have to reconsider whether or not to stay with Verizon going forward.  I have not had any issues with the phone in the past - keep it in an otter box, never dropped, never got wet, etc.  But all of a sudden it goes haywire like this that seems like either a hardware or software problem but something completely out of my control and all I get is sorry, you're out of warranty!

  • Complete shut down

    Try powering it up while the A/C adapter is hooked up to it.. let it charge for a while if the battery shows 0%..

  • My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down

    My iPhone 4 registered 60% battery and two minutes later completely shut down, next day it said it had zero battery and turns back on after plugging in for a few minutes... what's going on?  I was using the maps application in the minutes before it shut down on me.

    Maybe it's just the battery percentage display that is messed up?  Have you done the recommended monthly or so drain the iPhone down to the point it shuts down and then charge to 100%, to recalibrate the readout?

    You need to resync you applications or redownload them for free via app store. They may be read by your phone, but they are really not there. Re downloading will fix this.
