Spidey,


Have you tried to "Repair Disk Permissions" using Disk Utility?


What are the "Sharing & Permissions:" settings for your Calendars Folder? You can find the Calendars Folder by selecting Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" key>Library>Calendars. When you get to Calendars Folder, right click on it and choose "Get Info." The Priveledge listed for (yourusername (Me)) should be "Read & Write."

Spidey,


I presume your User acccount is an Admin Account. If so, click on the lock icon on the bottom right hand corner of the "Info" window and sign in with your password.


Click on the + icon to add your username to the Privlege list, and choose "Read & Write" from the drop down menu.


Log out/in or restart and check iCal for proper function.

After doing the permission repairs it changed my settings to:

everyone custom

system read& write

wheel read only

everyone read only


i tried the safe boot and the update you mentioned but it is having no affect on iCal. it still says that i don't have the permission to move the "Calendar cache" so i tried doing it manually but that also didn't heped me. 😟

I have just had the same problem with Calendar & Reminders and have fixed it by editing the Read & Write permissions on the Calendar Cache folder. This is accessed by selecting Finder>Go>Depress the "Option" key>Library>Calendars. In this folder is the Calendar Cache folder. Right click and Get Info, then check the rights are correct. If not change them to you as Read & Write and anyone else as read only.
