iCal is causing me to drift into insanity. I have 5 local calendars and 4 subscriptions. My initial problem was that Mail was choosing a (local) calendar as my default calendar for new meeting invites that I did not wish to use. After about 15 min of trying without success to set a default calendar, I decided to just delete all calendars except my new "main" calendar. Every time I quit and restart iCal, all the calendars come back and it defaults back to the one I don't want.

I have rebooted and repaired permissions. No joy.

Anyone have any thoughts on how I might overcome this? Are the calendar files stored in the file system anywhere?

Help. Please.

Local iCal calendars are stored in ~/Library/Calendars

Thanks for the tip- and here's hoping it's a good first step. Unfortunately, when I delete everything in the folder (which I have to do from a terminal as another user when I'm logged out as the cache file is in use), as soon as I reboot, log out/in or restart iCal, all the files reappear. Something else is controlling this. I have turned off iSync- any other ideas as to what is causing this?

Paco.. welcome to the special corner of Hell that is called the new ical corner.

Seems it's got a ton of back ups. Search all the usual suspects. I think I fixed mine by going to library/ preferences and clearing some files there. Poke around and look for them. Sorry.. I just can't remember the exact thing, but I know what you're talking about.

Turns out the problem was with iSync. I had to manually reset sync services and everything was fine.
