I tried to restart my computer with command R and got the install option.
I picked my hard drive and realized that the "Customize" button is greyed out. Why is this?
I want to just install iCal as I am having some error prompts and no one has replied yet
Here is the other thread

Is there a way I can just reinstall iCal?
Thanks.

No. You would need to do a reinstall of Lion.

Hi, Oh thanks.
Will I need to back up anything or will Lion replace the apps but keep my previous settings and info on Address book and iCal?

Always have a full backup in case anything should go wrong. Preferably 2. A Time Machine Backup and a CarbonCopyCloner bootable clone.
Always a chance that something can go wrong during an install, no matter how careful you are.
Good Luck

Thanks but just out of interest as this is new to me especially an install of a version that is not a clean install.
Will the install but install a replacement app retaining my current contacts and ical calendars?
Good to know 😊

Your settings and data should all be untouched when you reinstall, but as I say, all you need is a power outage or something unexpexted to occur and you may lose all your data, so having a backup is essential, even if it takes a bit of time it is invaluable insurance 'just in case'.
Good Luck

Awesome thank you Pete!
Can Lion reinstall just iCal?
