Q: my calendar is stuck on "moving calendars to server account"
iCal has stopped working because it is allegedly "moving calendars to server accounts". what does that mean and will it ever stop? It's had that message up for hours since installing OS X El Capitan. I have tried force quitting iCal to try to get it to stop, but when i open it, it flashes a message that states "upgrading calendars" and then opens up the same "moving calendars to server accounts" message and continues to be apparently dead and useless.
Also, when I log in to the computer there is an error message that says "network accounts not available". I can still log in and I can still use everything, including exchange and google mail via the mail client, but my iCal won't work.
what's going on????
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11)

I use icloud for email, calendars, keychain and pretty much everything. In the end, logging out of icloud on the computer - WHICH REMOVES THE LOCAL VERSION OF ICLOUD FILES - was fine with me, because the cloud version was the one I was trying to restore and replace the corrupted local version. So I logged out and after it cycled through to confirm I was ok with removing local versions of calendar, tasks etc, it logged me out. Then up pops a login window, I logged in and 10 hours of pain was gone.
Thanks for the tip.
