Reset iCal server to "Out of the Box" state

How would I go about removing all settings and configurations so that the iCal service would be as if it were a fresh installation? I tried configuring the iCal service a while back and apparently did a lot of things wrong, and I would like to start over from scratch without rebuilding the server since my other services are working as they should. This is a Mac mini running Server 10.5.8.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming you used the default data store location, you can simply stop the service and rename the /Library/CalendarServer/Documents folder then restart the service. This should remove user calendar data and delegation, etc.
This won't adjust/reset your actual calendar "service" settings (in server admin) but surely you can just set those to the appropriate values and work with a new data store? It is unlikely that you damaged the calendar configuration itself beyond repair unless you did some stuff by hand so I assume beginning with a new data store is sufficient?

  • How do I return my MB Pro to it's "out of the box" state?

    I have a MB Pro 15". I just got a new one yesterday, and my new co-worker will be getting this one. There is nothing we need to keep, so a backup won't be necessary. How do I go about deleting/reseting everything to it's original out-of-the box state, and make his the new admin, etc?
    Thanks!

    Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

  • How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012.  I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas?  I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

    To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
    1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
    After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand

    Polly,
    usually there are multiple models of MacBook Pro per model number, but in the case of your model number (A1502), there’s currently only one model for that model number: 13-inch Late 2013.
    To reset your MacBook Pro, you’ll need to boot into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as you start it up. When the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk (most likely the top item of the list). On the right-hand side, select the Erase tab. For the Format dropdown, select “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)”. For the Name input box, “Macintosh HD” has traditionally been the default name — I don’t know if that’s still the case for the Late 2013 models. After that, press the Erase… button, and erase its entire internal disk. When it’s finished with the erasure, exit Disk Utility, and select Shut Down from the Apple menu. When you start it up again, OS X Internet Recovery will redownload Mavericks from Apple’s servers and reïnstall it on your internal disk. Once it has reïnstalled, run Software Update to get it up to date, and adjust the System Preferences to your taste.

  • Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different plug sockets, different plugs/cables, help

    Just got a new IPAD3, straight out of the box, but I cant charge it, I have tried with the power plug and cable out of the box that came with it but no joy, i have tried resetting the iPad but still no joy, have tried different mains plug sockets around the house with no joy, I have tried different USB mains plugs but again no joy, I tried using my new iPad cable into the USB port of my MacBook Pro laptop but still no joy, then, I tried using my old iPod classic cable into my MacBook Pro and that worked, so I have a way of charging my new iPad3 but its not practical as i have to take my MacBook Pro everywhere if I want to charge it which kind of defeats the object of having an iPad, has anybody experienced anything similar and how was it fixed? can anybody help me please...

    Grumpy Gator,
    Please note it did say at the store's discretion, but people have actually been able to return it to the on-line store. (I only saw a couple who tried.)
    And given the outcry, I would think Apple might have other Apple stores join in. Just in case, though, if you can, you might bring it in today.
    If it's an ARS, my guess is they can stick to their 14 day return. Apple cannot force them to do it. SO if it's not bought directly from Apple, and it's past the 14 day deal, I'd bring it in to the store today if you have one. When I gave people the cnet.com site, I gave it so people could read it and know only Apple had made the decision for Apple. And I suggested to some that an Apple reseller would probably stick with their own return policy.
    Because Arnie had just bought his, he should be able to return it to Apple or an ARS because an ARS has to have some kind of full refund or at least return for credit within 7 or 14 days of purchase.
    Hope this helps.

  • Resetting Macbook to out of the box settings

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if its possible to reset my Macbook without having to run the install CD?
    In other words I am selling it but want to upgrade it to 10.5 but I want to set it back to the out-of-the box settings... I hope I am being clear?
    Thanks

    You need to use the install CD in order to erase and reinstall a clean Mac OS X.
    Also, if you used iTunes on this MacBook, launch iTunes. Select Store from the Menu Bar, then click Deauthorize Computer...

  • Can i reset N8 to out of the box condition?

    Hi everyone,
    I was thinking of restoring nokia N8 to "out of the box"(just purchased) condition. As we know that a soft reset(*#7370#) along with a factory reset(*#7780#) does exactly the same thing in a s^1 phone and one doesn't loose anything that comes as a part of firmware(or as i understand, please confirm/clear if its otherwise).
    But in case of s^3 devices(came to know from a sticky thread above), its not the case and one looses some stuff that came preloaded on the phone(should be part of the firmware as far as i understand).
    So what i want to know is the consequences of (i.e. what i loose from my phone):-
    1. Performing a *#7370#
    2. Performing a *#7780# 3. Pressing the power key for 8 secs
    On a nokia N8.
    I want to restore the original folder structure and keep my device neatly managed(a bit obsessed to keep things in order, though i'm not suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder, lol). So please help me to achieve this.
    [N.B: i don't want to go to nokia care point to get this done, or to get stuff reloaded if i loose something that came preset].
    Thanks for patience.

    @Roshanrims
    Last observations are that not surprised N8 so cheap on pre-owned market as who can be bothered faffing around (after three finger power on reset to remove data) when selling to try to get it back as it should be.
    Be aware that irrespective of "Hard reset" or re-flashing firmware whenever OVI Store is opened again on N8 it asks are you "username" and asks for password! 
    Have always found that after "hard reset" always seems to fail initial prompt to sign in to Nokia account with "try later" but that maybe because in marginal mobile reception area.
    Long as you copy any .dcf material off mass memory it can always be restored later.
