Q: The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

Since upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 and migrated to iCloud drive, I am getting the below error on my desktop (Mavericks 10.9.5) about once a every 2 seconds.  So far I have tried all of the following and nothing seems to work.

 

1. Turn of calendar syncing in iCloud and turn it back on.

2. Log out if iCloud and Log back in.

3. Log out of iCloud and Log back in using my primary apple id rather than my alternate.

4. Log out if iCloud, remove all preference files and Calendar directory from my mac, log back into iCloud and then launch calendar.

 

All of my appointments are syncing so I don't understand where this error could be coming from.  But since it pops up almost every 2 seconds its impossible to use the Calendar app.

 

The server responded:

“403”

to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

    So - the 403 error message is no longer on my iMac in work this morning.... I deleted the family calendar in ICLOUD and also manually on my computers and mobile devices.  I'm not sure if apple did something with the server or if just deleting all the calendars have made the difference but the annoying pop up message has disappeared.

    I did find a bit more on sharing purchase via family sharing at mac stories net

    Family Sharing is opt-in for developers/content owners

    Keep in mind that not all content will support the shared purchase feature, because it is an opt-in feature for developers of apps and owners of content. It's hard to say exactly how big of a problem this will be in practice (if at all), but hopefully developers and content owners will realise the benefit to users and support the feature.

    Hope this helps

    I have been following this thread for a few days and am having a similar problem. My calendar is fine, but my wife's is not. She is getting the 403 error constantly, even though her calendar does update properly and is synched with mine. Her iPhone, iPad all work fine. I have tried deleting calendars, reinstalling, etc. with no help. I now have deleted the family calendars on my account and on hers. We do still have a shared calendar. Still getting the pop up errors.

    The 403 code is a valid connection request that the server simply is not responding too. A list of HTTP status codes.

    So the problem in this case is the server, and we have no possible fix what so ever.. What is our best option to do? Contact a Genius bar? Do they have te means to look into server related calendar problems?

    OK so I think I have gotten it solved.

     

    For the user that was having the issue I opened the account on iCloud.com and went into the calendar.  I deleted the "Family" calendar.  Then go into Calendar app on the Mac and verify it disappeared (error messages still pops up at this point).


    Then from the "Master" user I went into iCloud.com and invited the user back to the "Family" calendar.  It took a few minutes but the "Family" calendar showed up again in the Calendar app on the Mac and the errors stopped. 


    If the user having the Calendar issues is the "Master" user, then not sure what to do there as this was not my case.

     

    Hopefully this will work for someone else, but as for now I am error free and able to use the Calendar app again on the Mac.

     

    P.S. I was also having issues with the shared "Family" reminders (no errors, but nothing was syncing).  I did the same procedure as above but for reminders and they started syncing again as well.

    Sorry for this, but it is early and I need a bit more information to understand exactly what you have done.

     

    When you say "For the user" is that a generic, any one of us users, or a user on your family sharing? Sorry, but I can read it either way.

     

    You say "you invited the user back..." Did you, the master, remove them from family sharing, delete the calendar, then add them OR did you delete the calendar and invite them to subscribe?

     

    I am having the problem as the Master and will try this once I understand what you did.

     

    Thanks for taking the time to figure this out.

    Hey guys I finally have found a way to fix the 403 error. Turns out it was not my Calendar that caused the problem but the Reminders... Because the "Family" reminder still existed it gave problems with my Calendar because the "Family" Calendar was gone, this caused the problem. To fix it I did the following:

     

    1. Turn of Family Sharing - You can do this on your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch with iOS 8.0. Make sure it is turned of on all of your devices.

     

    2. Disable the Calendar and Reminders on your mac. - You can do this at system preferences, iCloud. Make sure you erase al content if it asked you to.

     

    3. Delete the "Calendars" folder in you Mac Library - Use Go in the Finder and press Alt to show the Library. Here you can delete the "Calendars" folder.

     

    4. Delete the "Family" Calendar and the "Family" Reminder. - You have to do this via iCloud.com to work.

     

    5. Reboot your mac and turn iCloud Calendar & Reminders back on. - You can do this at system preferences.

     

    Now the "Family" Calendar and Agenda are gone en the Calendars app on your mac won't give you the 403 error again. This fixed my Calendar so let me know if it works for you.

     

    P.S. I haven't turend Family Sharing back on yet.

    Sorry it was late and I rushed it a bit.  My situation was as follows.

    User A is Master and has no Calendar issue

    User B is part of family and has Calendar issue

     

    User B - Log into iCloud.com and delete the Family calendar and the Family Reminders

    User B - Go to computer Calendar and verify Family calendar disappears (error continues for user B at this point)

    User A - Invite User B back into the Family calendar and Family reminders.  This can be done by clicking on the WiFi looking symbol next to the calendar and enter User B email.

    User B - Accept the invitations

    User B - Launch Calendar and verify Family calendar re-appears.  At this point there were no more errors for User B

    For me it turned out to be Reminders. I had to disable Reminders from my Accounts in System Preferences. No amount of deleting and removing helped, 403 was still there.

     

    Turning off Reminders however saves my Calendar headaches

    For me also - it was reminders.  I've deleted the family reminders in the Cloud and also on my various devices and the error has stopped.  It was incredibly annoying so delighted to have it fixed!

    GJ You win the golden Apple award today!!!! Reminders-why didn't I think of that...and why didn't the AppleCare and the senior advisors I spent a collective 3 hours speaking with not think of it either:(

     

    Seriously, with just 3 days left on my free phone calls from Apple I decided to use it and schedule a call. I was passed through three people before the senior advisor gave me the "I don't think we'll have a fix until Yosemite" answer. The 8.0.1 debacle must have been happening at the same time. He was really trying to get me off the phone. I could almost hear him running his fingers through his hair;)

     

    Anyhow - thanks again.

    Also wanted to let everyone know I included your solution in my reply email to the direct email I received from a senior advisor. So maybe somewhere in between 3179 complaints about bent iPhone 6+'s they'll become aware of this problem...and the solution.

    It was reminders for me, but all I had to do was to uncheck Reminders in my wife's user account via System Preference, Internet accounts, her account and uncheck Reminders.

     

    Thanks for posting this solution and thanks to all who posted!

    Good the know that this solved the problem for you. I also spend many hours on finding a fix, but I found it out when I deleted the Calanders folder form the library. After I did this both calendars and reminders had to be enabled again via iCloud so I knew these had to be related. I deleted the family reminder there and what do you, problem solved

     

    Even though we deleted the family calendar ourselves I think this calendar issue is a bug that Apple has to fix. Many users want to use family sharing but don't want a shared calendar or reminder.. So Apple please make this an option that we can disable. Also make sure that if the family calendar is deleted accidentally it won't cause the 403 error..

     

    Thank already.
