Access to account “iCloud” is not permitted. The server responded: “403” to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.

Hi there,


I am having a very infuriating problem with iCal. Every couple of seconds I get the message:


Access to account “iCloud” is not permitted.

The server responded:

“403”

to operation CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation.


It has made iCal completely unusable. I have tried unpicking various calendars, which makes no difference. Even with all the calendars disabled I keep getting the message.


I hope someone may be able to help me with this.

This just happening to me, and it was when I was putting the auto appointment into my calendar from apple support! (on a different matter). This message had not happend before and I do have multiple devices sharing calendars and have family sharing set on. Looking at the calendar in the iCloud this appointment was not showing.


What I found was that if I deleted the invitees that Apple had put into the calendar event (inviting Apple to the support call meeting) then all was OK, no more messages, and the appointment appeared in the iCloud calendar (and all others linked and shared).


I don't invitations normally so I think this message has something to do with having invitees in the calendar appointment. I do hope Apple can advise.

This worked for me


Hi,
Just solved the problem entirely.
If you use System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars to add your gmail account, and enable Mail, Calendar & Reminders, Messages and Notes, your caldav account for calendar will be set up with a username like <your username>@ gmail.com, originating a caldav url like:



This is an invalid url, as google is expecting only your username and not username and domain.

If you delete your GMAIL account from Mail, Contacts & Calendar and go to Calendars > preferences > accounts and choose add an account, choosing account type caldav, and entering only your user name (without domain), password and your caldav url in the following format https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/<your username>@gmail.com/user your account is setup correctly and no errors will appear on console log.

Furthermore, if you wish to re-enable mail, Messages and Notes, just head up to System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, choose your recently created gmail account and enable those checkboxes.

This solved my 4000+ error messages per day on console log for CalendarAgent.

If you have multiple calendars on the same account, go to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect and select those that you want to show on calendar.

p.s. this must be an osx implementation error that forces your username to be suffixed with @gmail.com when you register a gmail account through System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars.

If you use calendar to add the same account, the suffix is not appended to your username and all is solved.

Hope this help the rest of us, even those that have not yet detected this issue.
