iCal keeps crashing when opened in OS…: Apple Support Communities

Excellent help MadisonP.

Greetings Dinger,

As you tested in a new user we know this is not an issue with iCal, rather with some piece of data in your user account. Good testing!

1. Backup your data: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553

2. Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:

Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.ical

Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache if present)

Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)

—NOTE: Removing these files may remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.

—NOTE: To get to “Home > Library” in Lion hold down the option key and click on “Go” while in the Finder.

3. If the issue persists boot into Safe Mode and test again and report your results: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455

Hope that helps.

Recieving an error message in iCal that says “HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.”?

MadisonP suggests:

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Kristi.

It sounds like iCal is trying access a shared calendar on a server and is unable to.

Go to iCal >Preferences > Accounts.
__Have you added anything here?
__By default this column is blank.
__If there is anything here, try deleting it and then close and reopen iCal

If that does not resolve the issue:

First make a backup, File > Export > Archive.

Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe > Account >Sign Out

Remove the following to the trash and restart your computer:

Home > Library > Caches
Home > Library > Calendars > Calendar Cache, Cache, Cache 1, 2, 3, etc. (Do not remove Sync Cache or Theme Cache)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.ical (There may be more than one of these. Remove them all.)
__NOTE: Removing these files will remove any shared (CalDAV) calendars you may have access to. You will have to re-add those calendars to iCal > Preferences > Accounts.

Launch iCal and test. If it works fine then Go to Apple Menu > System Preferences > MobileMe > Account >Sign In.

Hope that helps.

Google Calendar looks ugly in iCal (espcially w/delegates)?

Poster JLHM has a idea that may work. Try this:

Here are the instructions modified for Snow Leopard:

Select iCal | Preferences. Go to the Accounts tab. Click Add beneath the Accounts list. In the ‘Account Type’ drop box, choose CalDAV, not ‘Automatic’ setup that will make it look like poop.

Enter your Google account and password. In the ‘Server address’ field input “https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/”, then open Google Calendar in your browser to get the Calendar ID of the desired calendar –> from the main Google Calendar page click Settings | Calendars tab | Click the desired calendar’s name and under Calendar Address (at the bottom), select and copy the long email address following ‘Calendar ID’ that ends in @group.calendar.google.com. Go back to your iCal Accounts Preferences and paste this long address at the end of the ../calendar/dav/ in the ‘Server address’ field, then append “/user/” at the very end.

The final string under Server address will look similar to “https://www.google.com/ calendar/ dav/345lsf00sfsasf9mf4knak3i23qa4d9sp1bgc@group.calendar.google.com/user”.

Click ‘Create’ and then close the Accounts Preferences window.
