  • Default Display Profiles missing

    Reloaded OSX which solved some issues. Now the default display profiles are missing. The only ones listed are Adobe RGB 1998, sRGB Profile and Generic RGB. When I try to calibrate any of the three there message says The Factory Profile for the display could not be found.
    How can I get these back ?
    Please help....my daughters screen is very blue !!

  • Missing Display Profile

    I got this iBook in early September. It's been great except for one thing--the default display profile, Color LCD, goes missing and it reverts to Generic RGB profile in the display preferences. This causes the display to look faded with a bluish tint. The computer has 2 accounts--an admin and a standard account. When I log in under the admin account the display is ok and properly set to Color LCD in the display preferences. The problem seems to occur when I log in under the standard account. It will revert to Generic RGB and the Color LCD profile is not available in the display preferences. I switch back to the admin account and the same setting is in the display preferences--set to Generic RGB and Color LCD is not to be found. Restarting temporarily resolves the problem. I have repaired permissions, but this did not fix it.

    You might have to just reinstall the system.
    Otherwise I guess try the Calibrate?
    GOD Bless and Good luck.

  • MacBook Black Display Color Profile missing

    Hi there everyone!
    I have a little problem here. Can't calibrate my color on my Macbook Black.
    I attach some screens so u can check out the problem.
    The colors of my computer, suddenly, switched to some weird ones. I didn't update, just plugged a secondary screen..
    This is my screen color window:

    What can be done?
    Thanks guys and great job!!!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Pictures would help. A good way to do this is to post them to a free photo sharing site like Flickr and then post a link.
    Also, you are in the original MBP section, and I think you need to post your question in the newer MBP section:

  • Missing PowerBook LCD Display Profile

    My screen looks odd today, so I checked the display profile in System Preferences. All that is available is Adobe RGB, Generic RGB, and sRGB. Isn't there supposed to be a LCD profile? I checked the Colosync folders in System, Library, etc, not there. Anyone know where can I get a copy?
    TIA,
    Jim

    Never mind...ran batch tasks with MainMenu, ran repair with Disk Utility, and restarted, and there it is: Color LCD.

  • Display Profile location in 10.8

    I've created a new display profile under the Color tab in Display options.  If I highlight the new display profile name, it tells me the location is ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles.  However, I'm not seeing it in there.  Am I missing something here? Is the file hidden?  I'd like to find that icc file and copy it to a few other machines of the same make/model.

    Open Finder, in the menu bar click on Go, hold down the Option Key [alt] the Library folder will appear

  • Projecting an image with the wrong display profile

    I've just spent three hours with a friend and his projector/laptop. He uses it to display images at a photography club, and recently he's had trouble getting a satisfactory projection, with display size and colour rendition.
    The laptop is a MESH 1366x768 running Windows 7 and CS4, the projector was a Canon SX80 1400x1050. They were connected by VGA.
    1, as the projector and laptop monitor were different native resulutions, I established that the Windows needed to be set to external-only for the desktop to assume the projector's dimensions.
    2, I noticed that he'd calibrated the laptop's display, so I made sure that Display 1 (LCD) was using the Spyder profile, and Display 2 (SX80) was using sRGB.
    3, I set the projector to sRGB mode and zeroed all its adjustments.
    The colours were awful, and no amount of projector adjustment helped much. Eventually, I tried a bunch of sRGB images in the projector's USB port, and I realised that the zeroed state was actually pretty good - so it turned out that the laptop was the problem.
    I took a flyer, and ditched the laptop display profile, replacing it with sRGB. Bingo! The projector's VGA display was now very similar to the USB display.
    I put the calibrated profile back on "Display 1", as a sanity check, and confirmed this was the problem (and, before you ask, yes I restarted the applications each time I changed the CM settings).
    So, the question is: what the heck is happening here? Is Windows 7 delivering the wrong profile to CM Adobe software, or is Adobe only looking for the primary display profile? Am I missing something?
    Thanks for any insights, and restoration of my sanity.

    From what I've read, some display drivers don't allow the distinction of using different profiles for multiple displays.  Someone no doubt took a shortcut somewhere and assumed there would/could only be one display.  Given that the laptop in some modes can share the very same display with the VGA port, this isn't that surprising.
    I don't know whether this is something that might have been corrected, but whether a newer driver has been released for that laptop might be something to check into.
    Laptop display drivers are typically not available from the chipset manufacturer, but rather the laptop maker, and traditionally in general they don't do all that good a job keeping up with technology, so there may well not be a driver update available.

  • Firefox will not open after fresh install in OSX Lion. "Firefox profile missing."

    After recently upgrading OS X Snow leopard to OS X 10.7 Lion I downloaded and ran the Firefox installer package, only to find that Firefox could not open. The error message says "Profile missing – Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible"
    I checked Firefox forums and found a script that when run in Terminal allows access to the (upper) Library folder; but this still does not solve the issue.
    Obviously, with Lion Apple has deliberately placed a stumbling block in the way of would-be Firefox users.

    Thank you. I solved the dilemma, which was one of my own making although I take no blame for it. You see, a while back I grew tired of going through the semantics of manually deleting Caches and Cookies and simply locked those folders (in Users/my name/Library) so that nothing could be added or removed from them without login credentials.
    . . . There's where the fly got into the ointment. The Caches folder must be unlocked in order to run Firefox because it uses Caches to store files. Folder unlocked – problem solved.
    It seems that OS X Lion has more warts than its predecessors (initially, at least), in that where Apple once gave the user full egress to all venues, it has developed a hard-nosed, up-in-your-face micro-managerial stance with Lion – such as making the System/Library invisible. This, of course, under the tacit label of "offering the user greater security" . . . against himself.
    If you fully embrace that logic I've got some s. Florida realty I can dump I mean sell you on the cheap, lol.
    I appreciate your kind help.
    Thanks.

  • Display Profile No Longer recognized in Final Cut Pro After Mavericks Upgrade

    I have a 27" 3.4 GHz I7 imac. and an Apple 30" Cinema Display  After the Mavericks upgrade my viewer window suddenly has completely crushed blacks and is extremely dark.  Projects previously exported out look perfect in both Quicktime and Preview. I can export a project and it looks fine, just terrible in FCP.  It seems that it is related to my calibrated display profiles.  FCP will not recognize them now under Mavericks and worked fine with Lion.  Switching to the generic imac or cinema display profile will hold after the change and make the viewer look normal.  I downloaded FCP 10.1 didn't fix it.  Any ideas why this is happening now?

    After researching this quite a bit and seeing this Very very dark video in FCP X viewer. I was able to fix the problem by building a matrix based profile. This problem dated back to the first FCP release for some, but I never experienced it until updating to Mavericks.  It seems that Mavericks is the problem, since nothing changed with FCP. I read somewhere else that another color calibration software tool was having an issue that Maverick's broke LUT (Look Up Table's}  I'm surprised that I am not seeing more photographer's/videographers with this issue. It may just be that those that are using calibration don't have softaware that builds LUT profiles by default.

  • OS X SERVER "Profile Missing Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

    We have an OS X 10.6.8 SL server managing our iMacs. Since the update of the workstations to at least 10.6.8 and Firefox 34.0.5, we get the error: [Profile Missing Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible.] upon launch of Firefox. It appears to be an issue that the profile is stored on the server rather than on the local hard drive. There is no way whatsoever to access, configure, start, or any other way manage Firefox at this point. Need a solution to this problem as we have hundreds of users that are unable to use Firefox now.

    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
    This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
    *Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\&lt;profile&gt;\
    *Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
    *Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
    In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
    You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
    *Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
    *Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
    *Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

  • Display profiles and soft proofing Windows RGB / Monitor RGB

    This might have asked before, but I did not find any definite answer for this. Sorry this gets a bit long.
    Short question:
    What's the difference between softproofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets? I see differences in my image between these targets.
    Long question(s):
    Here's some reasoning.. let me know when I go wrong.
    I have hardware calibrated my display Spyder 3 elite to sRGB standard. I have understood that the generated display profile contains a LUT table that affects gamma values for each RGB component, so that affects both gamma and color temperature. That table is loaded into video card when Windows starts. In addition to the LUT table, the display profile contains what? Probably information on what color space the display has been calibrated to. Does that matches directly with the LUT table information, but may deviate from sRGB in the case my monitor cannot reproduce sRGB 100%?
    Now if I have image that that is in sRGB, but the embedded sRGB profile has been stripped away, should any non color management aware image viewer show the colors properly, if it is assumed that 1) my monitor can handle full sRGB space and 2) my monitor was succesfully calibrated to sRGB and the LUT table has been loaded into video card?
    Or does it still require a color management aware program to show the image, which implies that the LUT table information alone is not enough and the display profile contains some extra information that is needed to show the image correctly? I would think this is true, as I needed to turn on color management in Canon Zoom Browser to see images in it the same way as in Photoshop.
    Now to the original question, what's the difference in Photoshop when soft proofing with Windows RGB and Monitor RGB targets
    I read from www.gballard.net that
    Photoshop can effectively "SoftProof" our web browser color:
    Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Windows RGB
    Photoshop's Soft Proof screen preview here simulates how unmanaged applications, web browsers, will display the file on 2.2 gamma monitors, based on the sRGB profile. If the file is based on sRGB and our monitor gamma is 2.2 and D/65 6500 degrees Kelvin, we should see very little shift here, which is the goal.
    Photoshop: View> Proof SetUp> Monitor RGB
    THIS IS WHERE the color-brightness-saturation problem will repeat consistantly.
    Soft Proofing Monitor RGB here strips-ignores the embedded ICC profile and Assigns-Assumes-Applies the Monitor profile or color space.
    The color and density changes seen here show the difference between the monitor profile and the source profile sRGB.
    I'm not sure how to read that. Assume here that my monitor has been calibrated to sRGB and the PS working space sRGB. Do in both cases photoshop strip away color profile from the image at first? What happens after that? Does in Windows RGB case Photoshop pass the color values as they are to display? What does it do in "Monitor RGB" case then? Does it assign my monitor profile to the image? If it does, does there also happen conversion from one color space to another? In either one conversion there must happen as the soft proofing results are different. Does either one cause "double profiling" to the image as the monitor is already calibrated?
    Thanks

    Windows defaults to sRGB if you don't calibrate your monitor so untagged sRGB files should display (more or less) correctly in applications that don't know about color management on systems with uncalibrated monitors.
    When proofing against Windows RGB you're proofing against sRGB, it will show you how applications that don't know about color management on an uncalibrated monitor will show the image. This is what you proof against if you want to see how the image will display in web browsers.
    When you proof against Monitor RGB, Photoshop will assign your monitor's icc profile to the image which tends to be utterly useless most of the time.

  • Memory Leak in Preview.app when switching Display Profiles

    I found a weird memory leak in Max OS X Preview.app, which manifests itself when Display profiles (color calbration) is change. I wonder if anyone else can reproduce my experience.
    1. Open up "System Preferences" -> "Displays", switch to the "Color" tab. You'll need at least 2 available profiles in the list. (If you only have 1, you can create another using "Calibrate..." button to launch Display Calibration Assistant.
    2. Open an image file in Preview.app.  The larger, the better. Zoom in full size to maximize the effect of the bug. I repro'ed easily with this image: http://www.donporter.net/NewSchool/Color/Examples/Printer%20Test%20file.jpg
    3. Open up "Activity Monitor.app", and click on Preview to highlight it, so you can watch its memory usage.
    4. Switch back to "Diplays" Preference Pane. Using the arrow keys, toggle up and down between two different Display profiles.
    4a. At the same time, watch Preview's "Real Mem" in Activity Monitor, as well as the total "Active" memory.
    5. Each time you switch profiles,  Preview consumes more Active/Real memory, about 25MB per switch in my case. This continues until all physical memory is consumed, and then (I presume) starts swapping virtual memory to disk.
    6. Bring Preview to  foreground, and all the profile-induced memory usage is freed.
    Weird, wild stuff.

    Could it be possible that this is just the OS holding the memory for the app until another process requires it?  Do you find that the memory increase eventually causes the app to become unstable? 
    It might be best to open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com.  When adding the bug, please include any source code, project or installer that will help us reproduce the issue internally.  If you'd like to keep your code private, feel free to email it directly to [email protected]  Once entered, please post back with the URL so that others effected can add their comments and votes.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • I cannot open Firefox at all... receive "Profile Missing" -- what next?

    MAC desktop being used. When I click on my Firefox app it looks and looks then brings up a window: Profile Missing.
    Obviously, I cannot do much without opening Firefox.
    What do I do next?

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
    See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • How to get the POSIX path of a display profile under 10.6?

    Hi forum,
    I'm currently struggling with an AppleScript that returns the POSIX path of the profile of the 1st display just fine when run under OS X 10.4.11. But under 10.6, I can't seem to get it to work, it raises 'syntax error: Expected “,” but found identifier'.
    tell app "ColorSyncScripting"
    set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)
    try
    POSIX path of prof
    end try
    end tell
    (I should probably mention that I try to run the actual script from the commandline using osascript - ie. `osascript -e 'tell app "ColorSyncScripting"' -e 'set prof to location of (display profile of display 1)' -e 'try' -e 'POSIX path of prof' -e 'end try' -e 'end tell'`)
    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    The ColorSync scripting extension relied on FSSpecs and was not 64-bit compatible. Apple dropped it entirely, along with huge chunks of the ColorSync API for which there are currently no publicly documented replacements. You'll have to do it in C.
