Ever since I upgraded to Lion, I get a progress popup message that says "Upgrading iCal calendar" every so often when iCal opens up. The progress doesn't change no matter how long I let it sit (as it appears to be frozen), iCal appears to be working fine, and the message only goes away if I close iCal. Any ideas on how to get rid of this popup permanently? Thanks for your time and help )

I got this message too after I started iCloud syncing. Just close iCal and open it back up again. That's all I did and it seems to be working fine for me.
That works temporarily for me, but the popup message then appears again at other times.
You can try removing the plist files. Please note this may delete certain settings you had in iCal and you will need to adjust them again. Back up your calendars, if they are stored locally (stored on your machine as opposed to Google, iCloud, etc.)
Theoretically, most applications can rebuild their plist files and go on without a problem. If this doesn't work, there could be an issue with a sync service that will take a much more to fix.
Let us know if this fixes the problem. Good luck!
this worked for me - thank you - that was son annoying every time i booted up
This fixed it!
Thanks so much for this. I'd be suffering from the 'upgrading calendars' problem and this seems (fingers crossed) to have solved it. Just one question - I found 7 com.apple.iCal plist files (.Alarm.plist, .Alarm.plist.lockfile, .AlarmScheduler.plist, .helper.plist, .helper.plist.lockfile, .iCal.plist and .iCal.plist.lockfile). Only one of them has returned (com.apple.iCal.plist) but the Calendar seems fine. Do I need to add the others back in? Or should I just carry on with the one plist? If the latter, is it safe to delete the old files?
Many thanks!
I can't see and iCal plist files . could that be the issue?
