Suppress the pop-up box in iCal when "The server responded with an error"

So there are tons of questions already on this site about this pop-up error in iCal when trying to connect to Google calendars or MobileMe calendars. My issue is that the connection is fine 90% of the time, but every now and then the connection fails (it checks every 5 minutes) and I get this pop-up.
Now in a perfect world, this error would not result in a pop-up that demands my immediate attention, but would fail silently and simply try again 5 minutes later. Normally Apple's software design is sensible and would do things this way, so I'm totally confused why they think a pop-up (and bouncing dock icon) is anything but annoying, especially when I know it's not a big deal and will probably connect successfully next time.
Soooo... is there a top-secret way I can suppress this pop-up box? It is one of those things that can drive one insane. I even switched to BusyCal for a while but decided it wasn't quite worth $50 just to be rid of the pop-up.

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.

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed." After clicking on "OK" another box pops up saying "The server responded with an error." How can I get rid of these?

When opening the Calendar app, I am greeted with a box that says "This calendar can not be refreshed," and after clicking ok there is another box saying "The server responded with an error." How do I get rid of this. The calendar functions all right, but just have to close both of those boxes after doing any action in the calendar app.

Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Back up all databefore making any changes.
Step 1
From the Calendar menu bar, select
Calendar ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts
Choose the affected account from the list on the left and uncheck the box marked
Enable this account
Then check the box again. Test.
Step 2
Make a note of the account settings, then delete the account and add it back with the same settings.
Step 3
If you can't add the account, the settings may be invalid. Verify them. How you do that depends on what kind of account it is. If it's a Google calendar and you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate an application-specific password in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password.
Step 4
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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.
Thank you,

When I run ical on my mac I get the error: The server responded with an error. The request for account "Yahoo!" failed. The server responded with "504" to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

When I run ical on my mac I get the error:
The server responded with an error.
The request for account “Yahoo!” failed.
The server responded with
“504”
to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.
I hit "go online" and almost immediately I get the same message again. Any ideas?

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!

ICal Tells Me "The Server Responded with an Error".

Hi,
I know a lot of people are having some problems with iCloud here or there, but I have a problem that doesn't seem to be affecting anyone else, or at least no one else has mentioned it.
After setting up shared calendars with my girlfriend, my iCal seems to be responding with this error message:
If I hit Ignore, it pops up again three or four times before going away until I restart iCal again. It doesn't seem to be affecting anything, since Calendar sharing still works, but it's annoying to have to keep pressing ignore!
Does anyone know how to solve this?
Thanks!

bump. a cookie to anyone who can help.

Ical Error :The server responded with an error.

Please help!!!!!!! I got Error Message :The server responded with an error. But I can't delete that event which is cause Error I can't find any library to delete my cacha please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
