New Color Profiles not showing up in Aperture3

I've spent hours trying to get Aperture3 to see a new proofing profile with no luck.
We use WHCC (White House Custom Color) for prints and discovered we were using an out of date icc profile for their printer. No big deal, just download the new icc profile and drop it in the ~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ folder and... Nothing.
Here are the location's I've tried putting it with no luck:
~/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ +(yes I know you're not supposed to put anything in here, but it usually works and is a good place to put things you don't want users to tamper with)+
Putting the profile in any of these locations, the ColorSync Utility sees it just fine, but Aperture doesn't list it at all. I've rebooted, restarted, rebuilt my Library and fixed permissions with no change. Is there a specific .plist file I can destroy that will let Aperture re-discover the profiles on the system?
As a side effect of this process, I moved the old proofing profile to my Desktop. After the now one didn't work, I tried moving it back to see if Aperture would see it... It doesn't anymore. Oddly enough, Aperture does see the display profiles we created for the laptop with our Monaco.
Aperture 3.0.3 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3
I'd appreciate knowing if anyone has run into this, or has any advice.

I had the same issue when playing with my Xerox Phaser 6110 profiled with colormunki. All software except Aperture (3.0.3) recognized the profile (Color Sync, Print dialog, Preview soft-proffing, even LR 3b2). I too tried all possible locations and none worked.
Then I opened the profile in ColorSync, and edited (Profiles -> Xerox... -> Open ->'desc' tag) Ascii and unicode descriptions to read aaa.icc and did a Save As aaa.icc and there it was, available in Aperture, too.
To my great disappointment the soft-proof feature in Aperture seems to be broken for some monitor/printer profile combinations, and is compatibly broken for printing from Aperture. What happens is the resulting image is way too degraded, even beyond the (admittedly crappy) photo printing capabilities of this printer.
IOW printing the same JPG via Preview and/or soft-proofing with the printer's profile yields way more consistent results. Totally unacceptable for a €200 piece of software.

Custom color profiles not showing as available in InDesign CC

This is a college graphic design lab environment with iMacs running 10.9.4 and the CC versions of Adobe programs
We have a variety of custom color profiles for our specific printers and media. They're located in a special folder and an alias of that folder is located in /Library/Colorsync/profiles. The profiles in that folder do not show up as available for selection in InDesign CC. They did before the upgrade to the CC version. They do show up in Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5 and Illustrator CC. Is this a known InDesign flaw? Any ideas for a fix... preferably one that doesn't involve moving the profiles?
Thanks

Color Profiles Not Showing Up in Aperture 3

So, I use WHCC for my lab. They supply printer profiles. So far so good. I have put these profiles in both the system and user ColorSync Profiles folder. These profiles show up in my Color Sync Utility but they don't show up in Aperture??
Now what?
Thanks
PS- upgrading computers is a real PIA

Keep fishing
I am using 10.6.7 and A3. The profiles are in both the ~/.../Profiles and Macintosh HD/Library/ etc... Permissions have been repaired along with running Disk Warrior. Here is where is gets really interesting, the same profiles are visible to Aperture (version 2) on my "old" G5 running Leopard. The profiles in that version of Aperture are also nicely sorted. On the new system (Mac Pro/Snow Leopard/ Aperture 3) they are NOT visible. AND, according to a WHCC representative (I talked to someone different this time), it is a "known" but undocumented issue.
Say what you will, so far I am not thrilled with this switch to Intel. It is very "un-Mac" like.
So now I just wait and see if WHCC updates their profiles or if I switch labs or if it even matters… once I get a calibrater that will work with Snow Leopard!

New 3rd profile not showing up in profile manager

created a 3rd profile that won't show up in the profile mgr. it shows up right after i created it, but after i close the browser, it won't show up in the profile mgr. i read somewhere once how to resolve this but can't remember where i read it. THANX for your time/help anyone.

thanx for the quick reply. the profile i'm referring to is on my pc(xp) at home and i'm on my laptop(7) right now. i did see it listed and i'm able to open it that way, but it won't show up in the p-mgr. for some reason. all 3 profiles have different names. i remember corel had a resolution to this awhile back but i can't find it anywhere. i'm stumped. i'm going to shut my laptop down now, but i'll get back on tomorrow to see if you replied to this. THANX AGAIN.

Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

Hi,
I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
Thank you!

Here is the HTML code, and the CSS code for the menu bar follows:
     ul.MenuBarHorizontal
></style><style type="text/css"><!body {     background-color: #FFF;     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}-->
    h1.
     ul.MenuBarVertical

Monitor color profile - not converting sRGB to local color profile.

I used Color Eyes Pro to color calibrate my monitor.
When I view sRGB images in FF4, they don't display properly (not converting to my local color profile). Images I save as my local profile as imgs, appear fine in FF4. This applies to both JPGs and PNGs.
IE and Chrome have no issues with view sRGB. Local color profile imgs of course appear correct.

See https://developer.mozilla.org/En/ICC_color_correction_in_Firefox
Caveats: The new QCMS color management system introduced in Firefox 3.5 currently only supports ICC version 2 color profiles, not version 4.
Test page: http://www.color.org/version4html.xalter - Is your system ICC Version 4 ready?

New DNG profiles not appearing in Lightroom

DNG profiles created with QPcalibration and Colorchecker Passport are not appearing in the Lightroom profile pulldown menu since I upgraded to Photoshop CC. HELP!

I have CC and new color profile are installed correctly for me, still.
What folder are the profiles being saved to? Are you viewing JPGs or RAWs?
On Windows 7/8 the profiles should be stored in a folder like:
C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles or %APPDATA%\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?

In IPhoto I changed movie dates after thumb nails were created in IMovie but the new dates are not showing up in IMovie. Is there someway to refresh the IPhoto event in IMovie?

Background: I'm transferring file folders from a Visa laptop via an external hard drive to my IMac. In the folders are photos and videos from different cameras. SO I first tried to import to IMovie but it would not recognize any of the files. So then I imported into IPhoto and both photos and videos were imported and I created events for each folder. When I first opened IMovie I had to wait for it to create "thumb nails". Then I could view the events in IMovie BUT the video clips are not together because they have vastly different dates and are mixed with videos from other events. I looked at the dates and said I can fix that in IPhoto which i did but those new dates are not showing up in IMovie. I think I need to somehow refresh the event data that Imovie is using but have not found how to do that in either IPhoto or IMovie.
I'm doing this on three events with about 100 photos and videos. But I have many 1000s more to do so need to know how to either fix this or delete these events, reimport, change the dates, then open again in IMovie. I'm sure that would work but I can't understand why changing the dates in IPhoto is not being reflected in IMovie.
Appreciate any tips or pointers.
OBTW this is my first question as a first time Apple owner.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

New Saved files not Showing up in finder

When I save a new file, since updating to 10.5.4; new files will not show up in the folder it was saved in, until I close it and then reopen it. I have already performed a fix disk permissions with idisk and ran MacJanitor
Is this a known problem with leopard 10.5.4 I could not find it discussed in the forum.

I Ran Macjanitor - all tasks, I ran the disk utility on my boot disk. Nothing I did fixed the problem. But for some reason - when I booted up today the problem is gone. I thought I had rebooted yesterday as well - but I am unsure about that. So right now the problem is not showing up. I hope it does not come back. How do you mark this when it just went away and you are not sure it will come back or not.
