ICal Error syncing with iCloud: server responded with "507" to operation CalDAVWriteEntityQueueableOperation.

iCal returns a "Server responded with "507" error
I have had this problem "resurface" regularly.
My last discussion with Apple Support  lasted over 3 hours and Tech Support reached two conclusions;
1) Each Icloud user is allocated an undisclosed amount of memory for their calendars.
A user receives this error when you exceed this amount.
You cannot buy more storage, you do not know when this is going to happen and you cannot prevent it.
The error occurs when you exceed your limited, fixed amount of storage. 2) The only way to "fix" this is to delete events that are taking up too much storage. However, Apple doesn't have software that identifies the size of events (Apple referred me to expensive 3rd party software, Busy Cal , that doesn't work).
Any thoughts / ideas / work around you might have on this would be HIGHLY appreciated :-)
Thanks !

AHP,
The link that I gave you was pubilshed by Apple only 5 days ago on July 31st, so it is not surprising to me that the information has not filtered down to all support personnel.
How do you find out how much memory/ storage your iCal is currently using ? I wasn't able to find this on Settings. Also, any "effective" ways to search for 'heavy' attachments, or recurring items that might be clogging the account ?
The Calendars folder contains the relevant calendar data. It is located in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library Folder. To find the correct Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. When you find the Calendars folder use the keyboard shortcut ⌘I to find out how much data it contains. That may, or may not be the same amount of information stored in iCloud, but it must be very similar. Use the same shortcut to find out how much data is stored in the sub-folders. Opening the attachmets folder should display the relevant attachment data. As a word of caution, do not delete, change, or modify the Calendars folder or the data contained therein in any way shape or form.

  • 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.

  • 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. Please follow & send me a Direct Message, so I can get your account specifics and help finally bring this to a resolution.

  • Ical responds with "The server responded with an error." and crashes. How can I fix it?

    The messages continues to send info to Apple. Ical will not stay open long enough and  will not allow me to make any changes. My password on google has changed but I do not know how to change it in Ical. Is this just something I will never be able to use again?

    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.

  • 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

    Same here....didn't see it within the first couple weeks of iCloud, but yesterday it popped up on both my Macbook and iMac.

  • When I try entering a new event in iCal on my MacBook Air, I get an error message popping up on my screen that says: The request for account "iCloud" failed.  The server responded with "502" to operation CalDAVSetPropertyQueueableOperation. Help!!??

    When I try entering a new event in iCal on my MacBook Air, I get an error message popping up on my screen that says:

    I am then given the option of staying Online or going Offline.
    Can anyone help me?
    thanks

    Hello b.krushel,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
    These sections in particular:
    General Troubleshooting
    Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
    Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
    Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
    Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
    Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
    Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of  Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
    In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
    You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
    If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
    Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
    Open Calendar (or iCal).
    Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
    Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    This information, which I highlighted in red, shows up on a separate page from and above the calendar page, and is half the width of the standard page; and repeats all the three times on the page. I cannot close ical without force quitting. I cannot access ical preferences as suggested in another answer to a similar problem, because the "separate page" remains dominant. I tried ridding the computer of the calendar plist, that did not work. I cannot discard ical because the computer will not allow me to trash. I am really befuddled.
    Fortunately, it only affects ical on my MacBook Pro running 10.9.2- it has not affected my iPad or iPhone, both running ios 7.2... they seem to be syncing with iCloud correctly. Anyone had this animal in their zoo lately?

    I read another response to a similar question posted a couple of years ago. I turned off the Wifi, restarted iCal offline, and that eliminated the message. However, as soon as I turned on the Wifi the message again appeared, the app froze requiring a Force Quit, and the game is still afoot. NO SOLUTIONS ANYONE?

  • 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.

    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!
