Made a series of errors; now iCal is a complete mess

Hi, several days ago I mistakenly shut down my G5 while a sync was in progress, and since then, my Calendar events have not been syncing properly (I have a G5, a Powerbook G4 and an iPhone). I tried resetting sync data to no avail. So I just tried deleting the Calendar Cache from my G5's Home/Library/Calendars.
Unfortunately, when doing that, I made a series of mistakes. I deleted the calendar folders with multiple letter/numeral names from the Home/Library/Calendars folder, which caused all events and calendars (except for "Home" and "Work") to disappear from iCal; and this condition remained even after I tried resetting sync data from MobileMe.
So I dragged the letter/numeral Calendar folders from the trash back to Home/Library/Calendars, and deleted the events within those folders, and tried resetting sync data again from MobileMe. The result is multiple duplicated calendars in my G5's iCal, but no events.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tim

What you describe for the remote is typical if the remote's battery is weak. They do have a certain shelf-life. You may want to swap out the battery and re-associate the remote with the computer.
The clicking hard-disk is a concern. You ought not be able to hear much of anything from the drive and it probable means a hardware issue with the drive. The shutdown message you get is consistent with a hardware fault, possibly related to the drive. It's likely the cause of most of the other issues that you see.
I would suggest that you take the machine in for warranty service.

I received the error (in iCal on my mac) : "The server responded with an error" while creating an event. I can't delete or acknowledge this error and now iCal is frozen. Any suggestions?

I received the error (in iCal on my iMac): "The server responded with an error". The error message is very large, and if there is a way to acknowledge and close it I can't find it. Because this error message is open, I can't do anything in iCal. Any suggestions on how I could kill this error message? Thanks.

Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Help! My computer is giving me all sorts of errors now!

Please help me someone, my computer is giving me all sorts of errors now and I dunno what happened. The only thing I can think of is that I went to a bad site or made a bad download possibly. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong or how...all I know is that I'm getting tons of directx errors and a few other errors. I tried reinstalling the latest directx but when I do the webinstaller for it, it then pops up with this message:
" a cabinet file cannot be trusted, please verify the cryptographic services are enabled and the cabinet certificate file is valid " - whatever the heck this error means????
I'm also getting a runtime error 9000 and also somehow my openGL got downgraded from the latest to only 1.1. I reinstalled the graphics display driver but am uncertain as to if it's fixed that or not. I presume this was happening because my display driver kept crashing occasionally at random times every so often? It always recovered itself so I didn't really think it was a problem but maybe it caused all this? There's a few other errors i've gotten but I don't remember those but they haven't showed up at all for now since I reinstalled the graphics driver so i'm hoping that's fixed.
What' i'm wondering though is if I should just do a system format to refresh and clean install everything back onto my computer again to restore everything to where it was similar to being new when I first bought it to fix this issue...problem is I made a system recovery disc but then it asks me for the toshiba media recovery disk and kicks my disc out when i boot from that asking for the media disk but I dunno how to create that or if I even have the right disc made to restore windows 7 since I looked on the disk and i noticed like only 3 files and 2 folders for booting so how the heck is that going to restore win 7 again onto your computer????? And the media disc for windows 7 I still can't figure out how to make either! Where do I find the information to fix these issues or even just do a reformat and reinstallation of everything onto my laptop?
PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!
- I need my computer to be in working order - I need help asap because I work on websites on my computer on the internet! Thanks in advance!

Did you delete the files from your Remote server?
Deleting the local site folder or the site definition in DW will have no effect on your remote site.
When I go to your URL, I see the index.html page with 16 code errors and this background image:

So the site is still online until you delete those files from your server.

just reinstalled itunes due to need to fix msvcr80.dll error;
now itunes wont run because itunes library.itl cant be read created by newer version itunes.
how do i resolve this ?

By way of experiment, let's first try specifically choosing a library for iTunes to open.
Quit iTunes if that error message is showing. Now hold down your Shift key, and then open iTunes. (Keep holding down the shift key while iTunes is opening.)
You should see a dialog asking you if you want to choose or create a library, as per the following screenshot:
Click "Choose Library ..."
You should now see a screen like the following screenshot:
Select the "iTunes Library.itl" file (shown circled in the screenshot) and click "Open".
Does your iTunes library open without the error?

Deleted sync framework, now ical and address book don't work

In an attempt to get rid of all the isync and .mac things on my mac I deleted some sync files that I need. I deleted the sync framework and sync services out of my system/library folder. Now ical and address book won't open. The crash log says it needs the syncservices framework and privateframework. Could somebody help me out as I obviously need those programs. I tried copying those file from my g4 imac to my intel but that didn't work. I refuse to reinstall the system again. (I make lots of mistakes, but I gotta learn, right?) Help is appreciated. Thanks

ProwessLegacy,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Based on your description, if you refuse to reinstall the system again, may I suggest an Archive and Install as an alternative. It can preserve user and network settings with minimal disruption to your current installation.
You will have to reapply subsequent updates but it will be less of hassle than digging around for replacements for unknown missing components.

Exchange 2013 in Mac Environment - iPhones recieves email, Mac Outlook does not, OWA Error: Your request cannot be completed right now. Please try again later.

We are having some problems in Exchange when customers send us emails with large attachments. It doesn't happen all the time which is weird.
The emails show up fine on iPhones although it is very slow to show the whole email and attachment.
In OWA it gives an error - Error: Your request cannot be completed right now. Please try again later.
The emails never make it to our computer email program, Mac Outlook 2011

Hi,
What’s your Exchange 2013 version?
According to your description, I understand that the message which is sent from external customers with large attachments can’t be opened in OWA and Outlook for Mac for Exchange users. Is it rights?
If that is the case, please confirm if the issue only happens with the large attachment messages. Please confirm if the message with no attachment sent from the same customer can be received and shown correctly in OWA.
Please recycle the application pools in IIS Manager to have a try. If it doesn’t work, please change the OWA to use Conversation view then check whether the issue persists.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto.

I burned photos to a CD-R and the CD-R automatically ejected. The photos are now on the CD-R. Now I keep getting an error message that says to complete the burn before I can quit iPhoto. I can not shut down the computer until iphoto shuts down.

Hit Command + Option + esc on your keyboard and force quit iPhoto. I'm sure it just got stuck talking to your optical drive.
Hope it helped
