What happens if I delete CalDAV in iCal? I'm getting a persistent error message

What happens if I delete CalDAV in iCal? I'm getting a persistent error message that says something like the server doesn't recognize my account or username, or some such thing.
Background: This all started after I (a) decided to try a free trial of MobileMe and then (b) decided against buying it.
At first it was saying it didn't recognize my .me account or something, and then I went and played around with changing the user name and password, but it still doesn't like that, so my instinct is to delete the entire CalDAV account.....but I don't know what the account IS, exactly. In other words, if I delete the CalDAV account, will my calendars disappear entirely? Or is all this nonsense just related to my nonexistent MobileMe account? In other words, if this is something that had to do with MobileMe, but I cancelled MobileMe and don't care about it, can I just delete it and go on with my life?
Thanks! The error messages are torture.

If you don't have a MobileMe account then iCal has nothing to connect to, and you should remove any accounts from iCal Preferences>Accounts.
I assume that given this you can't have any calendars listed under an @me.com account name: all your calendars should be listed either under 'On My Mac' or under no heading (other than any subscribed calendars).
if you do have any calendars listed under an @me.com account name you should move them back to 'On My Mac' before deleting the account. the process is explained in the second set of numbered instructions on this page:

    What happens if i delete an old backup from my iCloud to free up space?

    Nothing. You will lose that backup but you will still be able to make backups in the future if you want to. You can also remove things you do not need from the backup, so you do not have to lose everything from your backup.

  • All my email has disappeared from iCloud.  I did not delete it, and now it's working again, but only from 28 August 2013.  What happened to my old emails? How do I get them back? thanks

    Have you checked whether the emails are visible at http://icloud.com ? If they are, it's a problem between your Mac and the website; sign out in System Preferences>iCloud and sign back in again.
    If they aren't, then it's a server problem and you need to contact Support. If you currently happen to have AppleCare, either because you recently bought Apple hardware or have paid to extend the inititial period, you can contact them here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/
    You will need the serial number of the covered hardware.
    If you are not covered by AppleCare, then - in common with other free email services - there is no free support and you may be asked to pay a fee; if so you should argue that this is a problem they've caused (it's not the first time, by the way) and you shouldn't be charged.

  • What happens when we delete trillion records and issue a commit.

    Q1. what happens when we delete trillion records and issue a commit and also is there any way to calculate that how much time this commit will take to complete the process?
    Q2. how do interpret the oracle execution plan?

    The timing of a Commit doesn't depend on the size of transaction.

         cost, cardinality, rows, etc...Oracle documentation should help you, just google for that. You should also visit 'asktom.oracle.com' for the topic. I'm going through a book 'Troubleshooting Oracle Performance' written by Christian Antognini and I feel it contains very good explanation on such topics.

  • What happens when we delete task

    Hi.
    What happens when we delete task from the request? Does the changes get deleted?

    No.. The changes wo'nt get deleted. Instead the TASK will be detached from the Request number. That means it will delete task related entries from the E070, E071... tables.
    However when the next time if you save the Object it will ask for a new TASK.
    Cheers,

    Hi tinashah817,
    Was this book downloaded using iBooks, or from another application? If it was from iBooks you will need to install that application to delete it.
    See this article about managing your iBooks library on your iPhone -
    iBooks: Tips for managing your iBooks library and storage on iOS devices
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5544
    Once the book has been deleted from the iPhone you can uninstall the iBooks application if you so desire.

  • I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password

    I keep getting a popup error message in Ical "server does not recognize name/password"  This started after they did the change to Icloud and extended our subcriptions. 
    Tricia

    I guess that the server name is incorrect, then.
    Did it ever work?
    Delete the account, reboot the phone, then add it back and be sure you choose Yahoo as the mail server type. Everthing should then fill in automatically except your user name and password.

  • I have tried to update my itunes program. It was running great until I attempted the update now all I get is an error message that says "Itunes was not installed properly, Please reinstall itunes, Error 7 (Windows erroe 126)". What can I do to get my it

    I tried updating my itune program. Now all I get is the following message "Itunes was not installed properly. Please reinstall itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126). WHAT can I do to get back to where my itunes program is running again?
    I have uninstalled the proram and tried reinstalling and get the same error message. The other error message I get is "The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem".  I have tried that twice with no luck. Can someone help me get my music back???

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    HI,
    If your old version of iTunes is still working - then I sugest you stick with that.
    iTunes 11 is a lousy update - It will not retain your playlists, you can't find and delete duplicates... and a whole arry of oyher issues. (have a look around this forum to see how many issues IT11 gives people)
    Just a friendly advise and warning :-)

    My iPods are working fine...this is just on our iPhone 3GSs....friend said his iPhone 4 was working fine with upgrade. 
    Tried: the winsock reset, uninstall/re-install of iTunes, shut the firewall down.  Even called Apple...and after 2 hours of being told that "I'm savvy and have done everything they'd recommend" still with no fix...
    Still:  Takes over 2 minutes (not hooked up to phone) to open Edit-Preferences-Device...and can't find any backups?!?!  Takes over 2 minutes to even open the phone to change spps, musice, books, etc....but won't let me do anything with contacts...wonder if this is what that error message is about (because I don't actually sync to an email program, I've just kept it all on the phone - mistake).
