Q: iCal freezes up after upgrade to El Capitan
I recently upgraded to El Capitan on my iMac and am now having issues with my iCal. Whenever I launch it, iCal will freeze up with a message "Retrieving data from Server" and then will say it cannot ('make sure you are connected to the Internet") and asks if I want to try again or try later. Most times it just freezes at Retrieving Data point and I have to Force Quit to get out of iCal.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Jon,
If you are using iCloud, Backup your iCloud Calendars, and disconnect from the internet.
Force quit Calendar.
Then paste this text ~/Library into the Finder Menu>Go>Go to Folder...window and select "Go." This will open the Users Library Folder.
Open the Calendars Folder which is in that Library Folder, and move any any files with "Cache" listed in the name field to your Desktop.
Next open the Preferences Folder in that same Library Folder and move the com.apple.iCal.plist file to the Desktop.
Log out/in or restart and open Calendar.
