hi folks! i have a G4 1.5 PB that quite regularly hangs up on shut down/restart. the error i see in console is:

2007-05-10 14:05:04.279 SyndicationAgent[964] WARNING: BestCalendarDateFromString - can't interpret: 'Thu 10 May 2007 10:40:36 -800'

(over and over and over...)

is this my problem? what could it mean?

your help is greatly appreciated!

Hmmm... is this a new problem? Have you tried repairing permissions? Have you tried creating a new user account to see if the problem is specific to one account? Perhaps a more helpful thread title might help too?

point taken on the thread title!

not a new problem at all, i've just finally had my fill of it! i have repaired permissions maaaany times, but not created a new user account. maybe i'll try that. thanks peeb.

Try it - that will tell you whether something has become corrupted in that user account, or whether it is a system wide problem. I am reluctant to jump to the conclusion that iCal or some underlying date system has been corrupted, but it might be worth deleting the config files for that to see.

Try deleting the folder
/Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Syndication

I don't think that message has anything to do with your shut down/restart hangs. I get that all the time and am not having any problems. Of course, I rarely shut down or restart.
