Moving calendar to server account-since recent update to OS X (10.9?) Calendar is hung forever: will not complete this step.
Didn't want to move Calendar to iCloud (synching through USB was sufficient and secure) but felt forced to with recent OS update.
Calendar has been unusable now for month. Get the scrolling barbershop pole with the message "Moving calendar to server account".
- It never stops
- While it's doing it, Calendar is frozen (cannot make any entries)
- Cannot get into most menu items (greyed out) so cannot figure out what's wrong.
I feel I'm at risk of losing a decade of Calendar items--for an move to iCloud that I never wanted.

My iPad will not update apps. It states it is installing but if never completes the installation this has been going on for more than 24 hours. What do I need to do?
Try a reset:
1. Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds
2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important) -
I have tried to update flash player and when I put in my password, it is rejected. I have changed my email and password and have so informed adobe, but I am still unable to install flash player update. How can I update adobe flash?
This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person. -

Calendar Frozen - Message: Moving calendar to server account....Started 12 hours ago.
Quit Calendar and also the Reminders application, if it's running. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data.
In the iCloud preference pane, uncheck the boxes marked Calendars and Reminders. You'll be prompted to confirm that you want to delete your iCloud calendars and reminders from the computer. They'll still be on iCloud.
Relaunch Calendar and select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Click the plus-sign button at the bottom of the account list on the left (which may now be empty) to add a new account. Select iCloud and enter your credentials. Your iCloud calendars should appear after a brief delay.
Do the same with Reminders.

Mavericks update with iCal issue 'Moving Calendars To Server Account'
I updated to Mavericks a few days ago on my iMac after having Snow Leopard. When I opened up my calendar, as it went to sync with the iCloud it came up with 'Moving Calendars to Server Account and that's been on for the past couple of days.
I tried force closing it and restarting the computer and that didn't work so I'm out of ideas. Any support would be really appreciated!!
Thanks!!Thanks oliverleonidas,
I did actually find this out late last night. The problem now is that I have lost all my iCal entries, as was warned by the iCloud god.
So next step is to get that info back if I can.
I have all entries still on my iPhone and am a little worried about conecting it to the MacBook.
Let me know if you have any ideas on that little saga.
Thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated.
Cheers

Moving calendars to server account hangs as soon as iCal opens
This moving message hangs iCal, even the menu items including Quit Calendar. My iCloud accounts includes two iPhone 4's, iPad 2, iPad, and iMac (OS X 10.9.1)
i had the same issue recently. user melisolaris posted this and solved my problem:
1. Force quit iCal and Reminders.
2. On your computer, unlink Calendars and Reminders from iCloud:
> System Preferences > iCloud > Uncheck Calendars AND Reminders
(I did this because my Reminders uses my Calenders; I set deadlines for reminders, etc. Also, because my reminders weren't syncing with my iCloud as they should.)
3. It'll ask if you want to delete the calendar and reminder events from your computer. Say yes because you should already have the most up-to-date copy on your iCloud.
4. Open iCal. It should no longer display the "moving calendars to server account" message.
5. Add your iCloud account to iCal.
> Calendar > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
6. Give it a minute to update. You should see all your iCloud calendar events with no error message.
7. Quit iCal. Open Reminders.
8. Add your iCloud account to Reminders.
> Reminders > Add Account... > iCloud > Sign in with Apple ID and PW
9. Test the two programs by adding test events and reminders to see if they show up on your iPhone and your Macbook. -
So i have read many discussions and didnt find how can i fix it my problem.
I cant uncheck in system pref /icloud/ calendars , because it is grey.
I have never used icloud for calendar...i think i will loose all of my data if i clean the caches...and i cant access to export command in Calendars...
What happens with you, Apple???? The last two years was THE SHAME!!!! I cant believe how many problems got it, more than 8 years before it...
Anyone can help me????

When i go into calendars a box appears saying "moving calendars to server account" and i can not do anything in calendars - can anyone help?
I was struggling with this since my latest Itunes update. Fiirst it would not recognize my IPad as a device, after correcting that, it would list the Ipad in my device but my Sync had no options (summry, info, etc). and it kept saying it was "Accessing Itunes store". reading your question I suddently tried deleting the itunes task (alt-ctrl, delete, processes) and delete Itunes. (By the way, I had rebooted my computer several times over the last few days). I opened up Itunes, and voila. Device is there. No "accessing windows" and my sync has the normal options.
****..feels good to actually write an answer rather than writing a questions.

Calendar app stuck in "moving calendars to server account" after yosemite upgrade
No matter how many times I force quit (because its essentially frozen) the Calendars app on my MacBook, it is constantly going through the same steps and freezing on the "Moving Calendars to Server Account" stage. I just recently upgraded to Yosemite and did not have this problem when I upgraded to Mavericks. How do I stop this?
Hi, cmarthur.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Try removing the preference to sync calendar events in iCloud preferences. Once this is down enable the preference again and see if this resolves the issue.
Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on:
Quit Calendar (or iCal).
Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then select iCloud.
Deselect the checkbox next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
Open System Preferences and select iCloud.
Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
Close System Preferences.
Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue is resolved.
Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it reinitializes your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
If the issue persists, try all remaining steps in the article below.

Moving calendar to server account
Weirdest thing just happened. I opened the system preference and clicked on Mail Calendars and Contacts. (This was the first time I'd been here since installing Mt Lion and I had iCloud set up already) keychain started asking me for permissions for a couple things to which I said deny because I didn't want to deal with that then. All of the sudden without me doing ANYTHING else calendar pops up and says "Moving calendars to server account..." Aught I didn't ask it to and now my laptop is hung after a few minutes of it looking like it was trying to copy somewhere. What happened and what should I do. Mouse moving very speratically like bearly enough to stay alive and copy bar is grey and not moving really don't want to loose my whole Calendar

Look for the post by melisolaris
It worked for me as far as I could open calendar without the "moving calendars to server account" & restore my local calendars from my MacBook Pro.
I'll have to check at home if I can manage to set up iCloud sync tonight (I can't do it in the office due to access limitations...)
I followed what Melisolaris recommended and it worked for me too, thanks for linking to it! -
How do I abort the "Moving calendars to server account" process?
Running Mavericks. Calendars only update through iCloud, but I have a permanent "Moving calendars to server account message. Restarting Calendars does not abort the moving calendars process. Waht now?
Hey all, I had the same problem. Everyone seemed to have different solutions that worked for them--but not for me . Here's what actually fixed my problem.
1. Force quit iCal and Reminders.
2. On your computer, unlink Calendars and Reminders from iCloud:

After enabling iCloud, the calendar on my MacBook shows a window stating "moving calendar to server account. Then a box appears saying "server responded with an error message 403. Then another box shows "couldn't move calendar to iCloud, an error occurrre
iCloud's Calendar is full of errors and problems for me. The "Couldn't move your calendars to iCloud because an error occurred" is now gone (by itself) but nothing syncs between my Mac's Calendar to iCloud or my iPhone to iCloud.
I tried creating a new event directly on iCloud.com to see whether it pushes to any of my device and got this "This event couldn't be created because of a server error; please try again." error.
Apple, please fix this!!
