If you're having troubles accessing events, viewing your calendars, or any other problems, try the following troubleshooting steps.

Restart your computer

Sometimes the old "turn it off and on again" actually works! Restarting your web browser or computer will clear our the internal cache or memory and will often fix most random computer problems.

Reset your web settings

Sometimes installing multiple browsers can result in your web settings getting changed. You can reset your general web settings without changing the settings of all web browsers on your computer.

Clear your browser's cache
