Problems with iCloud backup

For some reasons, my Calendar won't sync across my IMac, Powerbook and IPad. Perhaps a clue is given when I open my Calendar on my IMac, I get the following alert:

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have been having this problem for several days and decided to look for a fix this morning. Clearing a couple of iCal cache files seems to have fixed it for me.

Here's how I did it.

Just a note - you're using Yahoo's cloud services, not iCloud.

The error suggests that the address used to sync the calendars is not available. It's possible that this is temporary and has nothing to do with your configuration. Try again later.

Whatever the problem was has gone on for a few days for me. No Yahoo cloud service here. Strictly iCloud.

Haha, I was talking to the OP there.

According to the system status for Apple's services, everything is fine. Have you checked the configuration?

I know. I was just pointing out that the error did not seem to be tied specifically to Yahoo. In fact the thread that led me to the page I linked to above may have been in relation to Google calendar.

To all who replied....

With the help each of you offered, IT NOW WORKS!! I was unaware that I was using Yahoo's cloud (this stuff is way to technical for me), but I established an ICloud account, made backup copies of the suggested files, deleted the originals, and BAZINGA, most of what I had is restored.

Thank you so much for monitoring this forum and helping an old geezer.

Hmmm, I'm at a loss here. Have you tried removing and re-adding the account to Calendar? I know that sounds like a "blunt instrument" style fix but sometimes that works wonders. Better yet, try to add the account a second time and see if you run into a connection problem.

That's good to hear. I was also thinking when I saw your post that you're not using iCloud at all. hihihi
