We’re ready to believe you.
If you’re like us you’ve probably had a bunch of problems with Apple’s implantation of CalDAV in iCal (at least in Leopard). I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen it get locked up or all kinds of messy, and usually the only way to fix it is to delete a bunch of cache files, reset the sync history, etc. Normally this is tedious process. Well no longer cause there’s an app for that! CalDAV Fixer to save the day!
All this does is run a shell script that clears out your sync history, then moves all the potentially corrupted CalDAV data from your calendar library folder to the trash. If something disastrous happens you can roll back by dragging all the .caldav folders from the trash back into ~/Library/Calendar. After you run it you’ll have to re-setup your CalDAV accounts.
Leopard only!
