Calendar Get Stuck on Mac OS X – How to Fix

“I recently updated my Mac book Pro to the OSX Operating System, Mavericks. Everything seemed to be working smoothly until my Calendars got stuck and all I get was this message “moving calendars to server accounts”. At first I thought that it was an update that came with the new OS but it never went away making my calendar completely un-usable. 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. I don’t know how to fix this? Please help me.”

Two things – if you sign out, iCloud warns that if you sign out or unclick Calendars that info will be deleted. Also, the suggestion is that you create a backup from Calendars in case everything does get deleted.

2. Save the file. It will be saved as an .ics file.
3. Repeat the process for each calendar you want to back up.
