Please can you expalin waht you mean and a stepwise method?

Sorry, not sure what you mean.


If you updated automatically it would have used what's known as the 'delta' updater. This is a much smaller download as it only includes the revisions from the previous version of the OS. In this case, just the changes from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3.

As I said, the combo contains all revisions built into the OS since its original launch. Re-applying the update using the combo often sorts out any anomalies.

It's very straightforward - download the combo from the link I gave in my earlier post. It should arrive in your Downloads folder, unless you have changed the destination in your web browser. The file is quite large so may take a while to d/load depending on the speed of your internet connection.

Once downloaded, double-click on it to expand the file, a window will open with the updater file ready to run. Double-click on it and let it do its work. You may be prompted for your admin password. Once updated you'll be required to restart. Test Calendar (iCal as it used to be called) to see if the problem is resolved.

I'm afraid I've run out of ideas 😟.

If after trying oBs barcode's suggestion you're still having problems you may need to consider a complete re-install of the OS - re-downloading from the App Store, which will provide the full 10.8.3 installer (you won't need to pay again).

You can either do it from the App Store or re-install via the Recovery HD as mentioned in the post above.


You could also wait to see if anyone else spots this thread and has some new ideas. Let us know if you get it resolved.
