calendar app keeps crashing despite restoring previous files

Hi everyone, desperate here and open to any suggestions.


Have a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) operating on Yosemite OS X 10.10.5


Calendar crashed about a week ago. Thought it was a one time thing, but identical issues have happened since.

Every time I open it, is completely fine initially. I can actually scroll through months on the trackpad, etc.

However, whenever I then select a date, any date, to add or edit an event, the pinwheel starts going, it freezes and crashes.


Message is:

Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000


Application Specific Information:

*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[CalUIInspectorPopoverController shouldDelayTrackingEventSelectionUntilEditing]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x60800034be70'

terminating with uncaught exception of type NSException

abort() called


I have followed instructions on previous threads to no avail.

Deleted caches and preferences.

Moved calendar to desktop. As per another thread, when I tried to relaunch it, it did open, suggesting that the app was corrupted.

I then went back a month on my Time Machine (when I know it was working well) and restored the Calendars folder, and re-opened it with identical results.


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

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 and start typing the name.

Step 1

For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select

SYSTEM LOG QUERIES All Messages

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select

View Show Log List

from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)

Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. 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 by pressing command-V.

The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.

Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.

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

Step 2

In the Console window, select

DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION User Diagnostic Reports

(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.

I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.

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 other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

When you post the log extract or the crash report, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the text on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

That is a very nice crash report. These do not tell much more to Readers that is not already in your first message.


But Linc Davis was asking for an extract of the System log > all messages. You have the exact date and time in this report. Now go back to his directions and pull out the console messages from about that time and post about a page from right about this time.
