Calendar agent using all memory.

The file you are showing is simply a preference file and it somehow became corrupt. Don't worry about it, chances are it won't occur again.

You disabled a built-in system component. Before any further problem-solving can be done, you have to reverse that action. Ask if you need guidance.

I had the same problem--CalendarAgent was rendering my whole computer so slow that I couldn't do anything. Productivity down to zero.

After digging into console, it looks like all my Google Calendars were failing constantly. I found how to clear your calendar cache for Lion, but couldn't find anything for Mavericks (the file locations of the preferneces moved in Mavericks I guess). I was about to throw my hands in the air and go to a Mac Genius, even though I know they would have probably just wiped the drive and did a clean install.

Quick fix that seems to have solved everything:

1. Disable all your calendars for all accounts in System Preferences > Internet Accounts.

2. Restart

3. Re-enable your calendars in System Preferences > Internet Accounts.

System is running back at full steam!

Awesome answer, worked for me!

This worked great. Thanks! I spent an hour with a "Genius" today trying to figure this out. He identified what I already knew, namely that something was amiss with CalendarAgent. However, he couldn't figure out how to fix it.

I updated several generations from Snow Leopard (which came on my mac) to Mavericks all in one jump for my 2010 MacBook Pro. The above advice did not work to shut off CalendarAgent for me. The Genius Bar was able to fix the problem by deleting the "Saved Application State" which kept launching every time the Calendar Agent was shut off. This worked immediately and has had lasting results. From what I understand, just a bug since so much has changed from 10.7 to 10.9. Sorry I do not know how to delete the saved application state but hope this helps some of you who are more tech savvy than I am!

i constantly have keychain login popping up for calender agent and com.apple.internetacounts.xpc i dont have a keychain pasword how can i stop this it didnt start until i upgraded to maverick how can i stop this my system is dragging

I had the same problem when I updated my MacBook Pro under Maverick. It came from the synchronisation with the google agenda. I solved the problem when I deleted the previous google agenda in the preferences of Ical and I created a new Internet account (google agenda) in the system preferences.

That's all and now my computer stop to use virtual memory and calendar agent is stable.

Hop it could be usefull.

Worked!

I am using MacBook Pro 2014 Retina Display. Initially came with Mavericks and upgraded to Yosemite (10.10.2).

Had the same Problem. Calendar Agent took nearly 6 to 7 GB of the RAM and left me with 15MB ram. Got really irritated. But found this after a hard struggle. I tried the above solutions, think didn’t quite work for me.

Follow the steps you will get your problem solved.

1. Backup all the calendar events to your iCloud by enabling calendar in the internet accounts from system preferences. (Do this step only if you need your events to be there).
2. Then open TERMINAL and type.
3. chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library
4. ******* represents your username or the name in which your mac is started with. This name can be seen from "Macintosh HD” then “Users” then the user which you are..
5. After running the command then again type in TERMINAL
6. chflags nohidden /Users/*******/Library/Containers
7. Now close the TERMINAL after running it.
8. Now, open finder and goto "Macintosh HD” then to “Users” then the user which you are then “Library” then “Calendars”.
9. In “Calendars” you have got to delete some files.
10. Those are:

Actually after deleting it,restarting PC solves the problem.

Sometimes you can’t delete those files because the Calendar Agent uses them and is running in background.

For that you have got to open Activity Monitor and Force Quit Calendar Agent and delete.

Restart your PC. Then open Calendar. Nothing happens and is back to normal.
