[QUOTE="jnm3, post: 1422653, member: 242043"] Dear IanCT, You asked above: "Have you tried this solution posted on the Apple board? https://discussions.apple.com/message/7322496#7322496" RESULTS: I tried the suggested process (from D. Hoffmann dated May 27, 2008) that includes 9 steps, with these results: 1. I Exported all my calendars, no problems 2. I Restarted my MBP, no problems 3. **I did not find ANY files named "com.apple.ical" in "Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences/ 4. **I did not find ANY folder named "com.apple.ical" in "Macintosh HD/Library/Caches/ 5. **I did not find ANY folder named "iCal" in "Macintosh HD/Library/ApplicationSupport/ 6. I launched iCal and found all my existing Calendars (no surprise) 7. I abandoned steps 7-9 NEW THEORY The Apple company re-architected and re-wrote iCal since this 9-step process was invented (circa 2008)... thus, no files and folders are available in the locations mentioned... hence the process does not apply to my version of iCal: - Version 5.0.3 (1605.3) What do you theorize is the reason I can not find the files/folders mentioned? NEXT THEORY If I DELETE all my calendars in iCal... then RE-IMPORT them from my previous Exports... it may have the same effect as the 9-step process from 2008. OR, do you think there's a better theory/strategy based on the new iCal design? Thanks for your help so far. (I'm learning quite a bit about Mac OS X design and tools.)
