It was working fine when I was using Parallels, but it stopped working when I switched to Fusion. I had to go to System Preferences, Sharing > File Sharing. Then on top of my local account (which was all I needed before), I had to add my network domain account and give it read and write access. Funny.

If new events are not being saved or you keep getting an error when adding an event, you can try to uncheck then check the SSL box. Also, try deleting events older than 90 days. If iCal gets stuck while deleting events, you can stop it by turning your wireless and/or ethernet off (because if there is an internet connection, it will try to update continuously under some wacky circumstances).

To restore bluetooth, you need to reset the power management. Turn off the notebook, unplug the power adapter, remove the batteries, then press and hold the power button for five seconds. Put the batteries back in and plug in the power adapter and you should be set.

Open a terminal. Type "ps -e" to get a list of all processes running on your system. Find the number of the process related to the stubborn app. Then, type "kill 1234" where 1234 is the number of the process you are trying to stop.
