Fix an iCal hang due to system date reset
Authored by: morgion on Feb 17, '05 11:59:37AM

I've encountered this problem before as well. Another solution (worked for me, YMMV):
1) quit iCal
2) move your ~/Library/Calendars folder to the Desktop
3) start iCal, then quit it
4) move the Calendars folder on your Desktop back into your Library, replacing the auto-generated folder that iCal put there

A few more steps, but I don't usually like to manually change preference files unless absolutely necessary; less chance of accidentally wrecking something. ;-)

Fix an iCal hang due to system date reset
Authored by: stonetownmike on Feb 17, '05 02:06:30PM

This has happened to me too, not just with iCal but with any app. that picks up the current date and time -- my email app. for instance. My question is, why doesn't the system synchronize with my network time server after a reset? It's set in system prefs to set the date and time automatically, but in this case it doesn't. Shouldn't there be a workaround not just for iCal but for the whole system?
