Will entering a large event cause iCal to freeze and crash?

I copied and pasted a slightly large event (an airline trip itinerary) into iCal and now when I open iCal it reports a server error and freezes. Also, my iPhone will not complete data sync with my laptop now, which I think may be related. Is there a workaround?

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Photobucket cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help at all?

    Hello b.krushel,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    Any number of things could cause this issue, so I would recommend this article named iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Calendar found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999.
    These sections in particular:
    General Troubleshooting
    Make sure there are no current issues listed on the System Status that affect iCloud Calendar. The System Status is located on the iCloud Support webpage.
    Make sure you have fully enabled iCloud Calendar for the client you are using (for more setup and troubleshooting information on iOS, OS X, Windows and iCloud.com, see the additional details below).
    Check to see if the issue you are seeing is covered in iCloud Help. To search iCloud Help, visit help.apple.com/icloud.
    Check your settings and preferences as something may not be set up correctly. For example, having incorrect date and time settings can cause issues which are easily resolved by entering the appropriate settings.
    Troubleshooting Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion (iCal on OS X Lion)Note: For instructions on setting up iCloud Calendar with Calendar or iCal on your Mac, see iCloud Setup.If you are having trouble with Calendar or iCal on a Mac and you are using iCloud Calendar, try each of these steps, testing after each to see if the issue is resolved:
    Make sure you are using OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later. Click here for help verifying the version of OS X you are using.
    Make sure your computer is online. Attempt to view www.apple.com and iCloud.com. If you can't connect to the Internet, your iCloud calendars and events will not update in iCal. Click here for more information about troubleshooting your Internet connection.
    Verify that your iCloud member name is entered into the iCloud Preference pane in System Preferences. See iCloud Setup for more information about setting up iCloud on a Mac.
    Make sure you enter and update calendar information in the iCloud section of Calendar or iCal. Only calendars and events in the iCloud section of the Calendar or iCal Calendar list will be pushed to iCloud. Both Calendar and iCal for the Mac support the display of and interaction with multiple accounts and datastores, for example, iCloud, On My Mac, Exchange, Google, and so on. This makes it easy to create or modify events or calendars in a section of  Calendar or iCal that may not be updating iCloud. Learn more about moving local calendars to iCloud.
    In some cases, you may find that you have data duplicated in both the local On My Mac and the iCloud sections of Calendar or iCal. Learn more about resolving this issue.
    You can make the iCloud calendar your default calendar for all new events. In Calendar on OS X Mountain Lion, choose Calendar > Preferences > General, or in OS X Lion, choose iCal > Preferences > Generaland under the Default Calendar heading, select one of the Calendars under the iCloud heading. Close the Preferences window to save this change.
    If recent changes simply don't appear, try forcing Calendar or iCal to refresh by selecting Refresh All from theCalendar menu.
    Make sure your account was successfully created in Calendar on your Mac (or iCal). After upgrading to iCloud Calendar, you may need to quit and reopen Calendar (or iCal). To confirm your account is configured correctly in iCal:
    Open Calendar (or iCal).
    Open Calendar (or iCal) Preferences.
    Click Accounts. You should see an account with your iCloud member name entered.
    Turn iCloud Calendars off and back on
    Quit Calendar (or iCal).
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Remove the checkmark in the checkbox next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences and wait about a minute.
    Open System Preferences and choose iCloud.
    Replace the checkmark next to Calendars.
    Close System Preferences.
    Open Calendar (or iCal) and test to see if the issue has been resolved.
    Restart your computer. This may sound simple, but it does reinitialize your network and application settings and can frequently resolve issues.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • TS3999 I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

    I have entered a recurring event on my icloud calender and has it disappeared, but it still shows up on my ical on my mac and iphone. Any suggestions?

    So after reading other's threads on this issue, I learned that by turning icloud's calendar sync option off and then on again, it re-sets your calendar and pesky old things go away like magic. Thanks to others on this forum for sharing their expertise! I'm all set now.

  • My itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

    i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
    I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

  • Unusual iCal Behavior - Duplicates and Crashes

    Over the past week or so, my iCal and MobileMe setup hasn't been working properly. First, my iPhone keeps getting duplicate calendar entries when there is only one unique appointment in iCal. Second, iCal has been responding really slowly and crashing a lot when I try to do simple things like advance to the next week or move an appointment. The only significant change in my system since the problem began was that I installed anti-virus software a few days ago. After uninstalling it, there appears to be no change in iCal's erratic behavior. Perhaps this is MobileMe-related? Any help? Thanks.

    Found the cause of this, but not the solution to stop it while troubleshooting another iPhone issue I have. Here's what I posted in that thread (contacts breeding like cockroaches):
    If anyone has a way to stop this, other than not using the repeat/remind me later feature of the calendar, please chime in.
    Okay, I just ran a test on my recurring events, and this is definitely related to using the remind me later feature. If you select remind me later instead of closing an alarmed event, then iSync places a new copy of the event on the iPhone. An interesting angle to that is the new event has an Alert time 8 hours (I'm Pacific Time) later than the Desktop's time.
    I'll acknowledge this could be a design limitation of the iPhone's calendar, but it seems more like a bug.
    You can duplicate this issue easily by doing the following:
    On your computer, create a new recurring event with an alarm time a minute or two in the future, far enough to give you time to sync your iPhone.
    Sync your iPhone and make sure the event copied over.
    Let the alarm go off on your desktop machine, and then select the repeat in 5 mins option.
    Sync your iPhone again.
    Now check your iPhone, there will be a new non-recurring copy of the event with an alert time offset to GMT time on the iPhone.
    I'm going to send this as a bug report to Apple and hope they see it as such. The iPhone's calendar is a crowded enough view to not need duplicates of events showing up on it.
    That answers the calendar portion of this question, but the address book issue is uncertain. This calendar question was asked some time ago, so I'll copy this info into that old unanswered question in case someone else misses this one. Apologies to anyone who might end up reading it twice.

  • Photobucket site and other sites cause Firefox v19 to "freeze" and crash. All the time. Photobucket causes Firefox v19, to slow, then crash.

    If you view photos for an extended time, or open a few tabs, Photobucket will cause Firefox to slow down, eventually freeze, then crash. This only started occurring when I updated to Firefox v19.0. This freezing and blanking out of the entire screen image of Firefox will occur when another program, such as Windows mail, is loading at the same time. It also is occurring at random times for no reason. I've never experienced a problem such as this with Firefox or Mozilla, ever. Nothing is preventing this from happening. I have Vista Home Premium, SP2. Dell Inspiron 530s.

    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • Will not upgrade mail database....freezes and must force quit

    downloaded lion and mail requires upgrade mail database.  Freezes and does not upgrade and must force quit.   Try again and same thing happens.
    I can get mail from icloud but not thru mail icon on dock.  Help!

    I think it's safe to say that FCPX wasn't tested throroughly for use on anything.
    with that out of the way, there are many variables as to what might cause your problems, but I don't think it's the mac mini as long as it meets the specified minimum requirements (especially the graphics card).
    You might try creating a camera archive first and then importing from that.
    The other issue might be the file format itself; you might need to use Clipwrap first. Maybe someone who has the same camera can chime in.

  • 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.

  • WILL USE MY COMPUTER EVERYDAY CAUSE A FASTER WEAR AND TEAR?

    Hello, i have a MBP and use it a lot everyday. I work at home with my blog site but also take my laptop to work to use it during lunch. I use it a lot everyday. Like i have heard some everyday used PC's wear out the DVD/CD drive and the mouse pad becomes unresponsibe due to time and useage. I heard many original macbook pro's having dead pixels.  

    Yes, using the machine more will wear it out.
    1: The keyboard is weak bubble membrane like technology, use a external USB "clicky clack" DAS Mac Keyboard with it's 6 foot cord for most of your typing.
    2: Although Apple is trying to get rid of it, the cheap two button scroll wheel mouse is still supreme compared to trackpads which do wear out.
    3: The case can get scratched by jewelry and chemical reactions with your body
    4: The Ethenet port can get worn out fast, use Wifi. The USB ports usually last, unless you abuse them.
    5: Open/close the lid from the center.
    6: Cover the keyboard area, but allow air underneath, to prevent spills and dirt/dust from getting inside.
    7: Use the optical drive sparringly, not for DVD playback or large burnings, use a external optical drive or send it out to cd/dvd duplication service.
    8: Use a MacTruck or heavily padded case.
    9: The power cable can get worn, keep it off the floor.
    10: Use screensaver, display sleep etc to prevent the screen from wearing out prematurely.
    My 1.75 year old machine still looks and smells like brand new, but a MBP with daily use will last about 4-5 years, less with abuse.
    However if you use the onboard keyboard and tpye everyday, it will start to look sorry in about 3+ years, just when your AppleCare expires and Apple will doom your machine to forever slowness with a bloated OS X upgrade or two.

  • Preview render playback of multicam sequences causes freeze and crash

    I have been editing a timeline with several multicam clips that crashes Premiere anytime I try to play back a rendered preview (green bar) area.
    First I render the sequence—playback is initially OK. Then after about 10 minutes, often after I have switched back from another program, without fail the playback will stutter and then freeze altogether on certain clips. Gradually more and more clips on the timeline will 'corrupt' until no playback is possible; the program monitor freezes. When I attempt to Delete Render files, I get the beachball cursor and Ppro locks up completely, prompting a force-quit and sometimes a "serious error has occurred" dialog box and then a crash notice of type "I386_GPFLT"
    OSX 10.9.4
    MacPro5,1
    Nvidia GTX 570
    I have tried so far:
    -deleting preferences
    -deleting cache
    -deleting preview files
    -swapping graphics cards
    -switching to software-only playback
    -swapping memory modules
    -disabling Mavericks' "compressed memory" function
    -changing cache and preview locations to another drive
    -importing the project into a new one
    The problem only occurs on timelines with multicam sequences. Does anyone else have this issue? Any ideas what's going on?

    Still encountering this problem after latest update.

  • ICal missing calendars and crashes?

  • Facebook causes Firefox to freeze or crash

    I leave Facebook open in a tab, and every time I click on it, It screws up Firefox. At best, Firefox will freeze for several seconds before loading an updated Facebook news feed; at worst, Firefox will just crash. And sometimes Facebook just crashes Firefox on its own, even when I'm away. How do I fix this?

    I'd still like to hold off on this-- it seems like a generic answer that has nothing to do with this problem. Hopefully there's a simpler fix!
