I tried to open iCal, but it does not respond. Is there a way I can update the application? I have upgraded to Lion, so the CD's that came with my MacBook Pro are no longer compatable with my laptop.
Please help.

Janine,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.
I do not have a Library folder in Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences. I look in spotlight, and there is no such folder. Any other suggestions?
Janine,
Did you go to the Finder, "Go" Menu, and depress the "Option" key? If you do that you will see the correct Library Folder under the Home Folder.
Okay, that worked. Now my problem is mobile.me. When we moved to iCloud, my MobileMe account is no longer used. It keeps trying to sync to iCal. I have deleted it numerous times and it keeps appearing in iCal. How do I delete this account for good?
Janine,
Go to iCal>Preferences...>Accounts>...and delete the MobileMe account.
Make sure that you do not have any other data stored on MobileMe. These two articles should help you determine what to do if you used MobileMe for any other services:
1. MobileMe: About moving to iCloud
2. Simple steps to move your data away from MobileMe
Finally, go to System Preferences...>MobileMe>...and sign out of MobileMe.
It ended up being an issue with my permissions. Now it is fixed and working fine. Thanks for you help.
