iCal Archiver Description

Allows you to create archives with the old iCal calendars. If you've been using a Mac for years, you probably have hundreds or thousands of old events stored in iCal. All of that legacy data can bog down iCal and make it slow. And if you're syncing your calendars with others using BusySync, you're probably slowing them down too.You can significantly increase the performance of iCal by archiving these old events using iCal Archiver.iCal Archiver is a free utility that copies old events to an archive calendar and deletes them from the source calendar. The archive calendar can then be exported for safe keeping, and deleted from iCal. Once the old events have been deleted, iCal's database should be much smaller and require less memory, resulting in faster performance.Launch iCal Archiver and select the following options:· Source calendar - You may archive events from all calendars, or a single calendar.· Archive date - All events prior to the archive date will be copied to a new archive calendar and deleted from the source calendar.When you click Start, a new Archive calendar will be created and all events prior to the archive date will be copied to the archive calendar and deleted from the source calendar. The progress will be displayed on the bottom of the window while the events are being archived.Processing can take a while depending on the size of your calendar. Make sure you allow plenty of time for processing to complete and do not use or quit iCal while iCal Archiver is running. You may click the Stop button at any time to stop processing.An alert will be displayed once processing is complete, recommending that you export and delete the Archive calendar from iCal.To do so, select the Archive calendar in the source list, choose Export from the File Menu, and save the calendar as an ics file.Then control-click the Archive calendar and choose Delete.After deleting the Archive calendar, quit and relaunch iCal to save your changes and refresh the iCal database. Your iCal database should be much smaller now and require less memory, resulting in faster performance.If you need to access the events on the Archive calendar at a later date, you can import the Archive calendar by double-clicking the ics file.
