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:

This is when I click calibrate:

TRANSLATION: "Cannot calibrate the Screen - Original screen profile missing"
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:

Good luck!

  • How do I delete a display color profile?

    How do I delete a display color profile?  I created several over time when calibrating monitor with a Datacolor Spyder.  I have not been able to delete any old profiles because the "Delete Profile" button is grayed out and not responding.  I repaired permissions but that didn't help.

    Shared Profiles are located in the following folder:
    /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/
    From the finder menu bar, Go... > Go to Folder > /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/

  • Macbook pro retina color profile changes when switching from integrated to discrete

    Late 2013 macbook pro retina color profile changes when auto switching from integrated to discrete graphics card. Problem started after updating to 10.9.3

    Same here. Really annoying because I have my screen calibrated for photo editing, which makes it much warmer than the default color profile. A lot of websites cause the graphics cards to switch for a couple of seconds, which causes the profiles to switched back and forth a few times, everytime. Really annoying, and dissapointing to see, considering Apple released like a hundred .3 betas.
    You can use gfxCardStatus to make it stay on one graphics card over the other... Just remember to change it back when you're using a program that actually needs the descrete card.

  • How to verify display color profile being used by LR?

    How can I check what is the color profile LR is currently assuming for display? E.g. with Photoshop CS I go to "Color Settings", and in Working Spaces, RGB, I look for "Monitor RGB". Any idea how to do it with LR?

    Not a good choice for working space in PSCS, though. Okay if all you are doing is checking the lis for what the profile is. On a Mac you go to Display in System Prefs and it says.

  • Display color profiles causing gamma shift in video playback

    I recently got a new monitor - Dell U2713H - to use with my macbook pro. If I use anything other than the default color profiles the gamma will shift after about 7 seconds during video playback to something much cooler and dimmer. it stays that way until the video is paused and then reverts back to what it should be. This problem doesn't happen if I stick to the default display profile. Any ideas?

    Mac OS X (10.6.8)
    If your profile is correct, you should re-post in the Snow Leopard forums instead of Mountain Lion's.
    If profile is incorrect, please correct so that you will get the proper troubleshooting solutions.

  • Display color profile bug when using the fast account switch from a guest account to an admin account (and vice versa)

    Hey,
    I'm sometimes using a guest account on my MBP (unibody late 2008 2,4 GHz Core2Duo, 4GB DDR3 running OSX 10.9.4 on an OCZ 128GB SSD) for a more distraction-free working space and I noticed right away a disturbing bug:
    Using the fast account switch (upper right hand corner of the screen) in Mavericks from an admin account to log into a guest account (or vice versa) produces, after the fancy rotating cube animation, some strange distortion of the desktop background happens (lasting approx. 2 sec.). After that the color profile of the display is changed into an usable but ugly one, which is disturbing while working with pictures. When checking the color profile in the pref pane, the standard "display" profile is said to be active (it's the one I use) but still the colors aren't the same. Selecting another profile and re-selcting the desired one doesn't fix the problem. Switching back to the other account with the fast switching leaves the colors altered. Logging out and deleting the guest account seems to the problem for the remaining admin account. Rebooting  and logging in to either of the accounts (admin or guest) from the standard account selecting page at booting shows the normal color profile.
    Is it a general bug or is their anything a can do to prevent this problem (other than never using the fast switching)?
    Thanks for your advice.

    I cannot agree more with your comments! What a way to frustrate your customers!
    I have been having an issue with iCloud on Mac where it kept asking me for my password and sometimes would, sometimes would not continue to access my iCloud mail. Today it just refused to connect to iCloud mail.
    I looked in the Mail, Contacts and Calendars in my MacBook Pro settings and discovered that 2 iCloud accounts were present. One with my original Apple ID (a gmail address) and a second with my new iCloud email ( an @me.com address). Having deleted the second account, using the new @me.com address everything is working fine.
    So from my viewpoint when I moved over to iCloud I was asked to sign in with my Apple ID (the gmail address) then to create an @me.com address. However, as far as I can see all sign ins to the new @me.com account on Macbook, iPhone and iPad need to be done through the old Apple ID (the gmail address). Is that confusing and just plain crazy???
    Further, after creating the new @me.com address I soon found out that this is apparently now forever bound to my old Apple ID and cannot be changed. I mean why can't I delete the iCloud account and start anew with a different @me.com address??? Also, as everybody using iCloud must create an @me.com address why on earth can I not get rid of my old gmail address and have my entire Apple ID accessed through the new @me.com address? Creating a whole new Apple ID will not solve this as we are unable to transfer purchases between accounts.
    Apple products are great IMHO, but they do seem to not think things through in a very big way sometimes......

  • Factory Color Profile Missing - wha?

    Just turned on my iMac (G4 Flat Panel) and the color looked wrong. I've read all of the posts about the color washes that people are having but this isn't like that - it's like the monitor has been calibrated incorrectly.
    I tried to put the calibration back to the iMac default but it's no longer there - so then I decided to do a full calibration and got the message that "The Factory Color profile is missing".
    I'm guessing this is going to be a re-install of Tiger - but can anyone shed some light on the problem and let me know
    a. How did it happen?
    b. Will it happen again?
    c. Can I just get the color profile from the Tiger DVD using something like pacifier (I think that's the right thing)
    and
    d. Is this cause enough to pursuade my girlfriend that we need to upgrade to a G5 iMac?
    Seriously any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Seems the profile was /Library/ColorSync/Profiles/Displays/Color LCD-933C106C-08BC-09AA-F750-C2A74A119DEF.icc

  • Display Color Profile For iiyama HM903DT

    I've just been given an iiyama HM903DT monitor but it doesn't want to play with my mac mini
    The trouble is this:- If a turn on my mac with the screen powered on my machine creates a color profile for it (from monitor dcc information I suspect). That would be ok if the profile was correct but it's not. On some jpgs and tif files are massively over saturated (for example gingerbread man.tif) yet other jpegs and tifs are fine.
    If I start up my mac without the screen turned on my mac defaults to "Display" for color and all is well.
    I've check in Universal Access and 'Enhance Contrast' is set correctly, I've also tried using color-sync to no avail......
    What can I do to stop this bug it's driving me nuts!!!
    thingi

    Me too. Snow leopard seems to ruin my 9CA3 screen because the color looks to be washed out.

  • Acrobat Color Management - Color Profiles Missing from Drop down list

    I have created a custom .icc profile for my large format plotter. The .icc file is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color, but it is not visible in my Color Profile drop down list, in the Color Management section of the Advanced Print Setup box, which is available via the Advanced option in the print dialog box. I have set up 10 users, some have Acrobat 8, some have acrobat 9. Of those 10 the profile is not showing up on one of the Acrobat 8's and one of the Acrobat 9's. To complicate matters, last night I sucessfully created a preset for an Acrobat 9 user and linked the profile, but after he logged off and back on today he can no longer see the profile either. Have you ever seen this activity? -Thanks

  • Aptus II 8 Adobe Standard color profile missing from LR3.5?

    I was wondering, several versions ago, (2.7 I believe) the Leaf Aptus II 8 aka Leaf Aptus 40 was added to the list of supported cameras. My version of Lightroom 3.5 (MacOs 10.6.8) can read these files, however there is no Adobe Standard color profile for this back. When I go to the calibration tab it just shows embedded. These files are uncompressed .mos files and not jpegs or tifs. With my Leaf Aptus 75 I use the Adobe Standard profile and like it. Is this a bug or just an unsupported feature of the Aptus 40?

    Thanks, that sounded like a good idea and it got me thinking. Why not trash the profile and import it from another computer. Doing that I found that the file sepraratly downloaded on another computer has the same problem so I can't move it over. The other computer is OS 10.5 Leopard whereas mine is 10.6 Snow Leopard. This leads me to believe that this is an Adobe issue.
    Would any other Mac LR3 users please go to Library>Application Support>Adobe>Camera Raw>Lens Profiles>1.0>Canon and see if there is an "exec icon" next to the file named......  Canon EOS 5D Mark II (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM) - RAW.lcp  
    I'd appreciate it and it will help isolate the problem.
    Thanks

  • Leopard Login Screen has Seperate Display Color Profile

    I have a very odd, yet seemingly simple, problem. I am the Admin on my Macbook Pro, and one day the Leopard Login screen started displaying in a completely different display profile (it has a purple hue). Once I log-in, the colors return to normal.
    Is there a way to fix this? It's quite irritating!
    Thank you!

    Hey Aereo,
    Did you ever get an answer to this? My MBP is doing the same thing, every now and then. When it does it, I go to System Preference, pick Displays and it immediately fixes the problem.
    Any thoughts out there on what is causing this?
    Thanks!

  • Isolated Bug: No playback with Lut/Curves Display Color Profiles

    Hello Apple,
    I have isolated a bug a healthy dose of frustration, and I bet this is an opencl thing.
    Final cut does not work at all (crashes when you press play) if you use advanced display profiles such as the ones attached below.
    http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/3610987/CurveMatrix.icc

    I would say that this is a pretty high priority error, I am not going to be color grading with the default profiles, I presume it would be the same for most.

    I get the blue tint after my MBP wakes from screen saver, and I also have an external monitor attached. The blue tint only happens on the MBP screen, not the ext monitor. It only happens when I have the external monitor connected.
    This may be a bit early to declare a fix for this issue, because I don't think I have permanently, but here's what worked for me today. In the Display Preferences, I had created a new Display Profile for the external monitor. I switched it back to the default profile (in my case Dell 2007FP), and activated the screen saver. When I stopped the screen saver, no blue tint on the MBP screen. Switched back to my custom Display Profile and repeated the process. No blue tint. Hmmm... Now I can't get the blue tint to come back after numerous attempts, when before I could reproduce it at will.
    Give it a try and let us know if it works for you too.
