Reminders launches on my Mac Pro ('08) but nothing comes up except the menu bar

Reminders won't open my list of reminders on my Mac Pro ('08). It works on my i devices. Anyone know what could be wrong?

Mac Pro (Early 2008), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Back up all data.

In the iCloud preference pane, uncheck the box marked Calendars & Reminders if it's checked. You may get an alert that one or more calendars will be deleted from your computer. Confirm. The calendars won't be deleted from iCloud. Leave the preference pane open.

Quit Reminders if it's running, and also quit Calendar or iCal.

Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache


Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal

from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.

Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.

If you unchecked the box in the iCloud preference pane, check it again and close the preference pane.

Launch Reminders and test.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Go Go to Folder...

from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:


☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)


☞ In the Finder, select Go Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.


☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.


Step 1


Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select

View Show Log List

from the menu bar.

Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).


When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.


Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.


Step 2


In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
