everything</title></head><body>
<div>I thought I'd update - I think I'll have to wipe and start fresh
on the MacPro - my calendar on my MacBookPro is fine, thank
goodness.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>I figured this out yesterday = I unhooked the MP from ethernet
access, turned off syncing, unmounted the other 3 drives plus the
TimeMachine drive - basically totally secured the MP alone to work
with.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Deleted all Calendars in AppSupport and the plists.
Restarted. Back came the Zombie Calendar [an iCal from 2006-07
era apparently] - as I explained to another list =</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><br>
What happened was that there was one entry which I deleted = and
it<br>
automatically reappeared. Several times. Then I disabled syncing,<br>
emptied all the calendars in iCal on the MacPro and deleted all<br>
preferences [and trashed them]...opened iCal and poof, the old
Zombie<br>
Calendars came back.<br>
<br>
I then unpublished them [several had the little publishing icon]
and<br>
deleted them and they came back on their own, unbidden. I
discovered<br>
an old Library in my Shared folder and deleted and emptied<br>
trash...unnetworked the computer entirely, deleted all Calendars
and<br>
prefs, trashed everything and restated -- Zombie Calendars came
back<br>
[I did not start or open iCal = I went to the Library and found
all<br>
the 'old' calendars back in there and the prefs back in there.<br>
<br>
Disconnected TimeMachine drive, all other internal drives and
deleted<br>
Calendars and plists - and the Calendars came back! Truly a
Zombie.<br>
<br>
There is absolutely no way to get rid of the Zombie Calendar short
of<br>
creating a new user [I have a Test user who doesn't have this<br>
Calendar because it doesn't have any entries anyway! and when I tried
to import a good iCalArchive I had to it, it would not restore from
that archive] or I guess<br>
reinstalling OSX and maybe not using Migration Assistant, which
will</div>
<div>be a MAJOR pain.....</div>

the same multiple entry problem as you did. Once I deleted all the
duplicates from iCal, I followed these instructions and it solved my
problem.</blockquote>
