iCal quits every time

parrick,

Welcome to Apple Discussions.

Plist removal is a simple troubleshooting step. Find the com.apple.iCal.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. Drag it to the Desktop, log out/in or restart and let us know what happens the next time that you open iCal.

When did this behavior start?

Do you have any iCal backups?

;~)

G'day parrick,

If you are using iSync, or .Mac read these two articles:
1. iSync 2: Reset Sync History enables calendar and contact syncing
2. How to reset .Mac Sync

If not, open your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Application Support Folder where you will find an iCal Folder. Drag that iCal folder to the Desktop then log out/in or restart and let us know what happens when you attempt to open iCal.

Try these steps before we look at reinstallation options.

;~)

I'm also having a problem with iCal where it quits every time I try to open it. I have removed the program and its plists manually, restarted and then installed it again from the disc but still it won't open. any suggestions?
