The factory profile for this display could not be found

Just received a new (mid-2012) macbook air (13"). Started it up from time machine from my old macbook pro.
The new screen seemed a bit blue so I thought I'd calibrate the display. But I don't seem to be able to. I don't get the Display Calibrator Assistant. I just get 'The factory profile for this display could not be found'. Please help if you can?

Thanks for the feedback.
With Pacifist, a search should show everything in a separate search results window. That feature might only be available in the paid mode. If you're reinstalling once a month, you might reconsider how you're using the machine. If you made frequent bootable backups/clones to an ext FireWire HD and also did a Time Machine backup to another disk/volume/partition, you'd probably minimize doing that. I haven't done an A&I installation but once the past six years. That doesn't include purposeful ones done while beta-testing Panther, Tiger, and Leopard.

  • When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online.  Do you still want to import the songs?"   This has happened for four CD's in a row now, Eagles - Hotel California.

    Hi All,
    When I attempt to import some regular, commercial CD's, iTunes returns the message "The song names for this CD could not be found online.  Do you still want to import the songs?"   This has happened for four CD's in a row now.  Today, after importing some other CD's in the regular way, all of a sudden, iTunes won't recognize the Eagles - "Hotel California" CD, the Eagles "**** Freezes Over" CD,  "The Best of Roy Orbison" or "Milestones" by Miles Davis.
    What happened?  Anybody know?

    We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

  • HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

    I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that?    Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?  

    iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
    Hope this helps.

  • The song names for this CD could not be found online

    I've been trying to copy some of my cds to itunes, but it does not recognize any of the track names. The error message: "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?"
    I've tried with a dozen CDs and is always the same.

  • When inserting a CD (I've tried several) I get the message The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?

    Anybody know what to do to get CD tracks to show when burning normal commercial CDs into iTunes library? Running latest iTunes version 12.1

  • Upgrade would not install (3.6.8) error message Licence file for this version could not be found

    The latest upgrade 3.6.8 downloaded but would not install. Error message read "the licence file for this version could not be found.". Visit Firefox homepage for more info
    == I tried to install the latest Firefox upgrade. Have tried about 6 times

    It can also help if you delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox) before installing a new full Firefox copy.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that are locked in any way.

    I keep trying to install Firefox 3.6.10, and it seems to work, but then when it comes time to accept the user agreement, that option is grayed out and I can only go back. In the Software License Agreement box is the following message: "The license file for this version could not be found. Please visit Firefox homepage for more information."

    Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.

  • "The names for this CD could not be found online. Do you want to continue?"

    I have my modest music library on my MBP. I want an additional small library on my iMac for use in video editing. Having hooked up the same CDs as were successfully imported via my MBP I keep getting the "The names etc etc message".
    I burned some tracks on my MBP to a playlist. Burned a CD. When I import into iMusic on my iMac, same message again.
    Is it possible to import CDs into two Macs and get full information on both?

  • The factory profile for the display could not be found.

    Whenever I try to color calibrate my Mid 2010 iMac I get the error message "The factory profile for the display could not be found". When you look at the profile settings for the display a color sync profile is set, but the setting for the factory profile is blank. I know where the color sync profiles are stored but it seems to me that the display has lost the setting to the factory profile. Can anyone tell me what the default factory profile setting should be? and how do you restore the setting? (note: I seem to have all the ICC files, it's the default factory setting itself that is missing)

    There seems to be a lot of posts about this issue dotted around the net with no-one able to come up with a solution. So I found a solution myself! =P
    1) Download a copy of Plistedit Pro. It's shareware, so donate!
    2) Edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist (you will need to create a copy of the file, edit the copy and then copy back)
    Using the plist editor find the coloursync entry for your device and simply edit the factory default entry to point to a valid colorsync profile file (.icc).
    I can now colour calibrate my iMac again. Phew!!!

  • Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display...

    I have an apple cinema display 20" and a mac powerbook g4 (1.25 GHx PowerPC g4, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM) with os 10.4.9. All of my software is up to is date.
    I used to be able to calibrate my colorsync profiles. My computer's hard drive recently failed and I had it replaced and the system re-installed (If any of you live in NYC, I took it to tek Serve, and they know what they are doing).
    Now when I try to calinbrate my monitor I get the error "Can Not Calibrate the display. The factory profile for the display could not be found." Like I said I have updated to 10.4.9 but this hasnt solved my problem. I have restarted my computer, and this has also not solved my problem.
    Any help!?! Please! This is important to me as I do color work for print and I need to see colors accurately When I use my computer.

    I fixed it already. There was indeed a problem in the preferences. In my case I removed the whole preferences folrder to the desktop (which forces the computer to rebuild it fresh) and it worked fine! Then one at a time 'as it was needed, I put back the preferences for other applications (mail, itunes etc). Turns out no preferences was better than whatever corrupted preference was in there causing the problem. You know what I mean. If no preferences are there the applications start over building it new automatically. So it was like a preferences restart. sorta.
    Unfortunately, since I dont have applecare I had to spend 50 bucks on the phone with apple to figure this out. It's amazing how long it took them to actually pinpoint the problem. Hopefully if anyone gets that error in the future they'll find this post on google and save some bucks.

  • Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Hi! I can't upgrade my iTunes 10.3.1.55 on my Windows XP 2002 SP3 to the latest version of iTunes. Got the message: "A problem has occured with the Windows Installer-package. A program needed for this installation could not be run." What to do?

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Trying to install the latest version of iTunes and when it is being installed I get the message "There is a problem with this installer package. A program quired for this install could not be run. Contact your support personel or package vendor."

    I am trying to install the latest version of itunes and when the install begins I get the message "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install could not be opened. contact your support personnel or product vendor". I ran a troubleshooting diagnostic on my computer and nothing flagged as a problem. I uninstalled iTunes and tried again and now I don't have any way to sync my ipod touch. Please help with any suggestions!!!

    Just in case, let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

  • What this mean? "could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not"

    I've taken a color picture and made it black and white by doing the following: Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Hue/Saturation. I brought the saturation down to -100.  The pencil is selected and my foreground color is black.
    When I try to select the flowers in my picture to bring out their color (within the black and white image), I get a circle with a black line thru it and the error message "could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable".  The steps I followed are working for most of my team but some of us are getting this error message.
    Any idea why and/or how to fix it?

    Ah, thank you!  I didn't have the mask selected. So once I did select it, the color came thru like magic. 

  • HT1926 Have you gotten the error "a program required for this install could not be run"

    Whenever I try to install iTunes on my Windows 7 PC, I get the error" a program required for this install could not be run". Any ideas?

    Burwood, that tip says to repair the Apple Software Update module. I went through the process of uninstalling all Apple programs from my computer first, so that's not the problem (and it's not installed, so it can't be repaired).
    I tried installing iTunes with the "automatically update" box unchecked as well, to no avail. Any ideas?
