Q: I can't use any of this information as iCal will not even open on my Mac. It just has an error log.

Remember that in Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Then it will be eashy to find and move the iCal preference file to the Desktop.

Oct 25, 2012 10:29 AMby DukMag,Aaargh. I don't see Library/Preferences under my home folder. The Library folder is simply part of the list of folders when i open up Macitosh HD.
Should I move that folder into my Home Folder?
By the way... thanks for your help. How are you adding screen shots to this thread?

The screenshot I posted is what you see when you open the Macintosh HD icon and then the Users/Home folder/Library icons.
