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

  • TS4337 Ever since I updated the OSX (V 10.9.1) iCal can't be used, when I open it a message pops saying: The server responded with an error, couldn't move calendars to iCloud because an error occurred. I turned off icloud and the same keeps happening.

    Mail is not functioning right, as well as iWorks. And everything started to break down since I updated the OS please help!

    To check the local network for some of the common configuration problems, launch Terminal.app and issue the following diagnostic command:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    That'll report some local configuration information and then either no errors detected and no changes required, or it'll point to whatever configuration errors or issues it might detect.  That doesn't catch everything, but it catches the common errors.
    FWIW, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are poor choices for the local network, as VPNs are based on IP routing and IP routing gets tangled when the same subnet is used on both ends of the VPN. 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24 are near ubiquitous in home networks and coffee shops.

  • I can't connect to my Yahoo calendar, getting error, the server responded with an error, the request for account Yahoo failed, the server responded with 502 to operation, caldavaccountrefreshqueable operation

    I was connected to my Yahoo mail using ical but kept getting the error message.  I deleted my Yahoo profile from ical and then added it again.  Now all my entries in my Calendar are gone and I am still getting the error message. 

    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.

  • "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.

  • The server responded with an error. (not MobileMe related)

    Hello,
    At work, some people are getting this message on their computer:
    *The server responded with an error.*
    There was an unexpected error with the request (domain CalDAVErrorDomain / error 5 / description 'The server has not specified a calendar home for the account at "/ -- http://192.168.[my edit:rest of address]".').
    Can anyone please help?

    AppleMan - you're a star! Thank you very much. Bit late in coming to the rescue - just like the Cavalry always was, allegedly - but nevertheless very welcome. It has sorted the problem out for me, and probably many others who, like me, did not know that there was an empty box waiting for the Password!
    Cheers and thanks. Case closed

  • 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 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.

  • I can't quit iCal on my imac. I keep getting  "the server responded with an error"

    I can't quit iCal on my imac. I keep getting  "the server responded with an error" and I  need to change my password but I can't even quit it to do it.

    Can you do a Force Quit?  Right click on it in the dock, then press the option/alt key, and Force Quit should come up in the sub menu.

    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.
