Ical is stuck on upgrading !

My ical has been stuck on "Upgrading ical Calendars" for two days now - i have force quit but still same - can anyone help please?

jrObert,
The advice that was given for the OP was offered almost three years ago, and the OP was using OS X 10.6. You are most likely using a newer version of OS X. Try this updated list of instructions.
1. Disconnect your computer from your internet connection.
2. From the  Menu, select Force Quit...>Calendar.
3. Paste this text ~/Library into the Finder>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
4. Then open the Calendars Folder in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
5. Next open the Preferences Folder in the same Library Folder, and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
6. Log out/in or restart, and open Calendar.

  • ICal gets "stuck" on date - can't view a different week without quitting

    I haven't seen anyone else post this, but it's getting really annoying. Every now and then, iCal gets "stuck" on a particular week. If I click on a new date in the calendar, it is highlighted, but the date I am on remains highlighted as well, and the week view does not change to the new week.
    When I am clicking on "To Dos" the list magically moves from the item I am clicking to another item on an earlier date - essentially the list scrolls to the top of the list, and instead of clicking on the item I want, I am clicking on whatever item is in the bottom of the window when viewed from the top of the list. When this happens, the week view changes to the week of that "To Do" item's due date, and - again - will not let me change the week that I'm viewing.
    Anyone know of something I can delete or purge or cross out with a magic marker to make this stop happening?

    Actually, I only addressed your first complaint about the view being stuck to a specific week when a todo item in that week is selected.
    It turns out I am also experiencing something that looks like your second complaint, about the wrong todo item being selected when you try to click on one. What I am seeing is the following: just like you can't show a date and its events outside of the current week if a todo item in the current week is selected, you can't show a todo item outside of the current week if an event in the current week is selected. If you scroll down and try to select the todo item, the list scrolls back up automatically, and you end up selecting a different todo item in the current week.
    I also reported this to Apple in the same bug report.
    So, good rules of thumb are the following:
    - If you want to select/show an event or a day outside of the current week, make sure you first select an event in the current week;
    - If you want to select a todo item outside of the current week, make sure you first select a todo item in the current week.
    Hope this helps, while the guys at Apple are (hopefully) working on a fix. But I am rather pessimistic. My experience with bugs I reported in the past is that they are only fixed if they are critical, security-related bugs. If they are just usability bugs with workarounds like this one, they are only fixed in the next major release of OS X. But let's cross our fingers. There are so many people complaining about iCal on these forums that Apple might want to do something about it. But people who have complaints or requests about a product should send them directly to Apple, and assume by default that they are not reading this forum.
    You can send your complaints on the following site:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    The more people file complaints, the more likely they are to be fixed soon. You might want to put a link to this discussion thread so they know exactly what you are complaining about.

  • Lost ical events with lion upgrade...how do I find them?

    Does anyone know how to get all ical events to appear in ical after a lion upgrade?

    This may not help but, I've reached a point where I'll backup everything before ANY kind of upgrade or update and I'll even have two sets of Time Machine backups. I guess you'll have to restore forgetting about the upgrade and retry after refreshing the backup on a SECOND drive, don't allow yur current backup to start a new session at all, you may loose it. Maybe too late, but I just saw this now. Good Luck!

  • Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?  I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.

    Why, when MobileMe was shuttered, does Apple NOT support calendar subscriptions for iCal (Calendar)?
    I upgraded to Mountain Lion and cannot migrate my Dutch, U.K., Islamic, or Catholic holiday subscriptions.  I had a heck of a time getting my Detroit Tigers Baseball team schedules migrated (but Major League Baseball supported the subscriptions, so it occurred).  As I work internationally, having these calendar subscriptions on the new Calendar would be very useful.
    If one goes to the Apple site, and seeks calendars [http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/calendars/index1.html], they are shunted to MobileMe [https://www.icloud.com/mobileme/not_found/], with the note "MobileMe is closed. Go to iCloud."  But, I do not see how to get subscriptions from iCloud.
    Thanks.

    The problem is that many of these calendars were hosted on MobileMe. I actually tried about 20 at random, and only two worked! Not all of the failures were ex-MobileMe, some were on other servers but produced 'File Not Found'.
    Strangely, this one worked despite its URL:
    http://ical.mac.com/ical/UK32Holidays.ics
    Until the people who publish these calendars (it's not Apple, they are third-party) wake up and find alternative servers these calendars are not available.
    There may be other sources which work - try Googling.

  • My iCal is stuck "updating".  How do I get it to stop?

    My iCal is stuck updating.  I've been using an iCloud calendar for quite a while.  All of a sudden it's stuck "updating".  I've quit iCal and restarted it and it's still stuck.  Rebooting the iMac doesn't help either.  Other than the "updating" at the top all seems to be working.

  • I have Elements 10. It doesn't handle RAW. It also doesn't allow more than one Fine JPG to be downloaded at a time. Can this be fixed with a download, or am I stuck to upgrade to Elements 13?

    Yes, it does.
    FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
    It can handle the raw files covered by the ACR 6.7 version.
    For newer cameras, you can use the free Adobe DNGconverter to batch convert a folder into the DNG raw format that PSE10 can read and edit.

    All versions of Elements can open many jpegs at the same time, and the organizer lets you import as many as you want?

  • ICal won't stop upgrading

    I recently purchased an ipad and wanted to sync my ical on my macbook pro.  After turning on icloud on my macbook my ical has the message "upgrading ical calendars".  No matter what I do I can't get the popup to go away and I can't use ical.  I can't force quit ical because it will just restart itself.  I manually restarted my macbook and ical still has the message "upgrading ical calendars".  This has been going on for hours.  Please please help!!!  I manage my whole life through ical!

    I had the same issue with my brand new Iphone and my Macbook Pro ICal.  In short, after hours on the phone and at the Genius Bar, my calendar is back on the computer (thanks to a lucky back up I had), partially on the Cloud (Choosing to ignore all my Blue dates while copying three other colors) and nowhere to be found on the phone.
    I've tried turning off all cloud computing and syncing through ITunes. It says it's syncing, but it does not.
    I've tried turning all Cloud computing on and letting it sync that way. Nothing has changed.
    I wish I could tell you how we finally got the "upgrading" message to stop, but I don't recall what folder the Phone Support took me into or what file we ultimately had to trash. I do recall it was going to erase whatever was left in my calendar.
    In short, I've learned that IOS is not interested in interacting with OSX Lion.  And beware the OSX Mavericks upgrade, because that disables most of the few remaining conveniences that do exist between the two.
    At this point, I have one more week to either keep or return the IPhone and if I don't get this thing
    solved by Monday.... It's back to Android for me. Hard to believe my HTC Evo did a better job or relating to my Macbook Pro than Apple's own phone.

  • ICal is stuck.

    I don't remember what I did, but now my iCal is stuck.  It won't respond to any commands.   All it does is give me the following box at the top of the iCal window:
    In order to get rid of iCal, I have to do a force quit.   The program won't respond to command-quit. 
    I can't use iCal on this computer. 
    How do I get iCal to stop doing whatever it is trying to do with some unknown server?

    Hi Richard, I had the exact same issue. Spent 6 hours with support staff who got me to reinstall Mavericks, do numerous safe boots, and perform various strange CVC and NVPRAM resets as well as deleting some 3rd party software they believed was the problem! none of it worked.
    And then I found this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23829145?ac_cid=tw123456#23829145
    30 seconds effort to delete a single calendar cache file sorted it immediately without even having to reboot!
    Worth a try. T

  • ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

    iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

  • Ipad Mini stuck in upgrade mode

    During softwar upgrade my son pulled minipad from USB port.  Pad is stuck in upgrade mode and unable to power down.  The apple icon with 1/8 of the status bar is on main screen.  Any suggestions on how to get out of "stuck mode"

    You can try rebooting the iPad, but if that wont work, you will probably have to restore using recovery mode.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • HT2513 importing ical data stuck- how do I stop it?

    importing ical data stuck- how do I stop it?

    Greetings,
    1. First make an iCal backup:  Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one 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. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    3. 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)
    --- NOTE: To get to "Home > Library" in Lion: Click anywhere on the desktop and then click on the "Go" menu at the top of the computer screen while holding down the "option" key on the keyboard.  You will see "Library" in the menu.
    4. Launch iCal and test.
    If the issue persists:
    1. Go to iCal > Quit iCal
    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.
    3. Launch iCal and test.
    Hope that helps.

  • ICal, Mail and Finder times all stuck since upgrade!  System clock O.K.

    Very strange problem:
    All of my calendar event times (in iCal), email message receipt times (in Mail), and file modification/creation times (in Finder) are listed as some time between 7:00-7:59 AM or PM, regardless of time of day! My system clock (as it appears in the menu bar) is fine!
    More details:
    iCal: the events still look like they're at the right times, i.e. the blocks are in the right places, with the correct spacing, etc etc, they are just labeled with times between 7:00-7:59 AM/PM. Similarly, alarms go off at the correct time. Also, in the day or week listing, the column on the left which is supposed to show times instead just says "Sat" for all times, except "Noon" (at noon).
    This is continuous since upgrading to snow leopard a couple weeks ago. Seemingly no other problems besides this.
    I don't know much about the OS, but I don't understand how the system clock (in the menu bar) could be fine, but every other sign of time-keeping is completely off. I just its just something about the labeling of times, instead of the actual record of them?!
    I have screen shots of the problems if that might help clarify (apparently I can't attach them however).
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    Any solutions to your problems?
    Just found my Mom has the same 'time stuck' problem (iMac OS X 10.6.7) Finder 'Date Modified' is stuck at 2/14/2011. Also, the Time/Date displays correctly on the Menu bar but when click on it, the drop down menu shows a gray out 2/14/2011, etc.
    Much appreciated of any help. Thx.
