ICal preferences not opening

I am no longer able to open the preferences within iCal. Program is functioning properly otherwise. Have tried the program on another mac with no issues.
Any suggestions as to how to fix.
Thanks

I would try to remove the .plist file for ical. Close iCal>from you home folder goto Library>Preferences>and delete com.apple.iCal.plist and see what that does for you.

Ical will not open. crashes immediately

ical will not open. it crashes immediately. at first, it would open a blank calendar window, spin for a minute and then crash. now it just crashes immediately. i tried updating; but it didn't need it. i tried taking ical app from another mac in the house over a network connection, no luck. i ried reinstalling from os x disk with optionals install of just apps; no luck. i put the library/application support/ical folder in the trash, no luck; i put it back were it was. i don't know where to turn.

When iCal is not open cant see event

pleasee help i am going to school and i really need it so i can see the events when iCal is not open pleazz someone help me

Tamara,
I'm not really sure what you want to do. Why can't iCal be open? What can be?
You could get MenuCalendarClock which sits in the menu bar: http://www.objectpark.net/mcc.html
Or ical viewer will put events on your desktop: http://www.icalviewer.com/
Comeback with more details if this doesn't do the trick.

HT1338 system preference not open so how guide to sample?

My mac book pro in system preference not open so how guide to sample?

Hello,
First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

plaese help

Having the same problem.
In another thread they suggest you go to iSync and in preferences clear the Sync History. However, this doesn't solve my problem either. So I hope some-one from Apple is reading this thread and can work on a solution?
I'm working with 10.4.7 on MacBook. Opening iCal shows the iCall screen, and as soon as it tries to connect to the webdav server it quits.

ICal will not open

I have never had any problems with my iCal until recently, the program will not open. When I click on the icon in my dock, it will bounce at least once, but then stop without ever opening the program. Is there any way I can re-install the program or something like that to encourage it? Have restarted my computer several times. I have my calendar on my iPhone and it works just fine, but I would like to work on it on my computer as well!

ProfCedar,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

Hi,
iCal is not finding the "GeoKit.framework" on your computer's system. Perhaps it has been removed or there is some other issue with your computer.
Have you tried rebooting the computer?
If that does not help, you could try making a new user account on the computer and opening iCal there. Can you open it on a fresh user account?
Best wishes
John M

ICal does not open in mobileme

After I did the update Ical, when I walk into the me.com page does not open the program, is suing and locks. My mec, Iphone and Iphone also no longer sync with iCal and I can not resolve this error, anyone know how can I fix this?
thanks

You don't say what operating system you're using. The upgrade to the new MobileMe calendar produces different results, and different problems, with different versions of OSX.
Snow Leopard: during the upgrade process your iCal calendars should be moved to MobileMe (this can take some time and you have to wait for it to happen). Once done, your iCal reads the calendars from MobileMe so any changes made in either place will be visible immediately. If this has not happened then this Apple Tech Note provides instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3397
Leopard: when the upgrade is completed iCal on Leopard will not be able to see the MobileMe calendars until an additional process is carried out, detailed in this Apple Tech Note:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4330
Tiger: iCal on Tiger cannot read the MobileMe calendars, period. The only workaround is to upgrade to Leopard, or Snow Leopard if possible (Intel Mac required).

Mail, Skype, Safari and some system preferences not opening

I wonder if anyone else has had this problem....my mac starts up but seems to skip loading things at the loading screen when it boots - When it gets to the desktop, Skype, mail (mac default program), and Safari do not open when clicked - I tried to go to user accounts in system preferences and that fails to open also - AIM, Fireofx and Transmit (FTP program) all work fine and are able to connect to the interent - It has done this before (months ago) and I ended up having to do a system restore to go back to factory settings - Yesterday it started this again and after 1/2 hour mail just popped open and all was well - It has been on for 4 hours so far and none of those programs are working - Has anyone else had issues like this ? any suggestions? I am using a Power Mac G5 cpu 1.8ghz and 1.25 gb of ram and 10.3.9 for system version - Any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

Have you done the basics? Repaired permissions, cleared caches, run cron jobs, booted from DVD and run disk repair etc.?
It seems that when you did a restore, which I presume is an archive and install, it cleared up then over time whatever you do is corrupting things or the drive is on its last legs. Add a new drive (cheap) , clone the boot drive to it with Super Duper (free) and boot from that for a while.

System Preferences - Display Preferences ---- not opening

In my Snow Leopard 10.6.5 under System Preferences only Display Preferences not loading. It is giving error "System Preferences cannot be opened because of a problem".
I tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Also is deleted the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Still it did not solve the issue.
Please let me know how i can solve the issue.
Thanks
Jana

Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. Then have your corporate IT reinstall the image and use the Migration Assistant to restore all of your customizations. See these for details:

App Store, Ical, Preview Not Opening after Mavericks Upgrade

Hi,
I've upgraded to Mavericks and since the update i've not been able to open App Store, Ical, Preview apps. The apps will not launch from either the dock bar or applications folder.
The apps bounce once when selected then do nothing more.
Anyone else having these issues or know of a work around?
Thanks

Maps, Facetime, Contacts, will also not open. Nightmare

Con't. Serious error message re Mail.app w/respect to Mail Preferences not opening...

Hi all (& Linc)
In an earlier thread,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25906027#25906027
I prematurely reported a problem with Mail.app prefs not opening as being solved, when it turns out it hasn't been. The freezing of Mail.app upon invocation of Mail Prefs reintroduced itself, both with a suspected culptrit (the great DPS by Bongiovi) turned on and off and Quit Then, without any noticeable input, Mail.app suddenly righted itself and works as normal. I ran a test in Console and saw this foreboding log readout. It may still involve DPS. I'm reporting this same to the savvy engineers at Bongiovi, as well. What's to be done? I may be stumped, but I'm not giving up...
All best,
David

ICal will not open in 10.5.3

Just upgraded to 10.5.3 and tried to Open iCal and got this error message:
"Calendar Cache" could not be moved because you do not have appropriate access privileges for "Calendars".
To view or change access privileges, select the item in Finder and Choose > Get Info.?????
My questions are:
1. Why is this happening (never happened for other leopard upgrades)
2. Where is my Calendar Cache, could not find anywhere with searches.
3. Where is Calendars, also could not find anywhere.
thx for any help anyone can provide & hope this issue does not occur for other Apple software (AB, iTunes, mail etc.)

Latest update 5 July. I just downloaded 10.5.4 and at least ical opens! The icon is still grayed out (not sure if that is a sign and symptom of some other problem) Not sure how well the program will work with Entourage and the rest of the applications after reading other posts about 10.5.4 Thanks for all the posts and I followed them to a T with no success until I downloaded 10.5.4
NOTE TO APPLE: I bought this machine to avoid the Window problems! It's nice to see you guys are following the leader! This Leopard OS is a mess! I regret nearly every day I made the switch! The IBM compatible laptop I bought after buying this machine (that's right no multiple mistakes) works flawlessly with Vista.

Ical will not open with Leopard

I am new to MACS and have no clue how to check this problem.
I moved the ICAL from the applications menu, to my dock. Entered appointments in there and all seemed fine.
Tried to open it and the icon is now greyed out with a NO Entry symbol over it, and the message 'you can't open the application ICAL because it is not supported on this architecture'
How does this novice solve this error?

trishad,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you have reinstalled iCal from the Snow Leopard installation disk, you should also reinstall the Mac OS X v10.6.2 Update (Combo).
Next try refreshing the "Calendar Cache" file. The "Calendar Cache" file is located in the Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder. Drag the Calendar Cache file, or any other "Cache" files which may be in the Calendars Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior.

Why is 'Dock Preferences' not opening? (Snow L)

Hi, without any reason I tried to open Dock Preferences to change my Screen Saver and it is just not responding. I am on Snow Leopard - 10.6.8 I have tried Repair Disk etc but to no avail. It just won't come out to play!!!! Advice please!

I am replying to my own post here......I went back in the galaxy of Time Machine, found the last time I had System Preferences in and clicked Restore and Bingo!
I am still mystified as to why it disappeared when I had not even looked at it for a couple of weeks, mmmmmm!
