Hi All,
Since the Monterey update the calendar is very slow, the wheel is there a lot. I tried to delete the com.Apple.ical.plist but it does not help here.
Anything I could do to troubleshoot here please?
Thanks

I use Apple Calendar exclusively (except when I have to create a meeting invite with others at work). But, I accept invites and such on my Apple Calendar. I have a number of iCloud calendars I sync with on three Macs and two iOS devices. All of these also sync with a work Exchange calendar.
I have been seeing this delayed event rendering on the iOS devices for a while as I'm on the iOS beta program. It was annoying but I made reports. The symptom was that I'd go to a day in the calendar but events would not be there but would fill in in a few seconds.
When I upgraded my Mac to Monterey, I started seeing the same annoying behavior on the Mac's Calendar app.
I unsubscribed to the Exchange calendar on the Mac. Lo and behold, the Calendar app was working like it was its old self. I tried unsubscribing on the iOS devices and, they too, started functioning nicely again. Just turning off the Exchange calendar in the Calendar app didn't do anything. I had to "unsubscribe" from the Exchange calendar.
Earlier in another thread, I through it was a client-side issue. I still believe that. But now, I am betting it is an Exchange client-side, either Apple's implementation or Microsoft's implementation.
I have the same problem after installation of Monterey today.
not going to boot in safe mode as seems to be problem caused by new OS
not sure its exchange - the same thing happens when I insect my exchange account. the only other feed is a subscription.
awaiting patch!
For now, I've gone to using Outlook calendar. Very surprised that Apple didn't do a better job of testing this before releasing Monterey. I wasn't using the beta -- was it already a problem with that?
I love the optimism of those saying Apple will certainly fix this with the next update. But then I remember the problem with Contacts a few years ago when suddenly it started cutting off notes after 3 or 4 lines. At first, Apple support said they knew nothing of such a problem. Then they said that notes in Contacts are not supposed to be used for more than 3 or 4 lines. It was over 6 months before Apple finally released a version fixing the problem.
I first noticed this issue with macOS Monterey PB 6. I reported it to Apple literally with EVERY SINGLE beta since and received ZERO response from Apple. I sent multiple screen recordings with my reports. Not surprisingly the bug made it into the official release of macOS Monterey. The bug did not exist in iOS and iPadOS 15.0 but started to occur in them as well since the 15.1 version. I simply don't know what to do. Calendar apps on my devices are almost unusable. I just tweeted Apple, AppleSupport and Tim Cook. I don't know how else to get their attention. This is ridiculous.
For the answer from Armando Stettner, I'm not seeing any delay from my iOS 15.1.1 official, so apparently Apple can solve it. I can't unsubscribe Exchange service because that's what our university uses. I think that I will wait for the next MacOS system update.
similar problem. Only affects one of the three calendars I have - the exchange one. either will not open after spinning wheel or opens for miilisecond and then closes. Occasionally opens after about 20 seconds.
I have a very similar issue since updating to Monterey (and also upgrading to a new MacBook Pro 16"). I use Mac Calendar and sync it with several Google accounts as well as iCloud. I get a spinning ball frequently when scrolling from week to week or month to month, and the calendar view often jumps back to the view when I started scrolling, which is very annoying.
I've managed to isolate the issue to a single Google account, but can't figure out if there's a way to "rebuild" that account to fix any issue with corrupt events that might be triggering the issue. I've rebooted in Safe Mode to no avail, and I don't have any virus protection or similar software installed on my Mac.
Any help would be appreciated!
Rebooting in Safe mode & Return back to normal reboot, not solving the issue. Both the cases (Safe mode and normal boot) I see calendar is super slow with spinner circles if I switch to different date or different week. It loads after a while.
I'd be curious if any of you are using the current beta of 12.1. The hope has been that Apple might introduce a fix for this problem in the next release (12.1) rumored to be coming out in December. However, if it is still a problem in the latest beta (beta 4), then we can probably give up hope.
+1 on that! My business partner and I use an Exchange account, and it's TERRIBLE! Takes 10-15 seconds(!) to switch from one week to another. And sometimes it displays bad data for a while too (appointments all at wrong times, different week, etc.)
This same server configuration worked just fine in Big Sur! I changed nothing server-side, just the client on MacOS from Big Sur to Monterey. (And I bought a $3500 MacBook Pro M1Max CPU to have to experience terrible Calendar times, a tool I use many times a day, live with Clients to schedule time. Grrrrrrrr.)
PLEASE FIX!
Sorry for the delay of my answer. Directly after the update every attempt to open Calendar leads to an unprecedented error. So: no way to open my calendar any more on my MacBookPro. On iPhone and iPad it still runs...
I did use CleanMyMac but it didnt create any issues before Monterey. Will check though, thanks!
Same here - I think they messed up the calendar app in Monterey and also iOS 15.1 - same behavior on all my Macs, tablets and phone :(
Same for me. I don't have any Exchange calendar (just having my Ical sync on icloud with iphone and Ipad) but the same spinning wheels and a very annoying slowdown... almost unusable at the moment.
Nice try, was the first I did and does not help. I guess there is no workaround and it's a bug that hopefully will be fixed with the next update
Yep, get Apple to learn to write good code and TEST before releases.
Calendar very slow with macOS Monterey
