Hi!
So I am trying to install ISO coated v2 eci on a mac os high sierra.
I have copied it into:
- /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color Profiles
- /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
But when I go to Color Sync or try to change my settings directly from illustrator, the ICC profile isn't available.
I have already changed my permission settings from

But the issue persists, I really don't know what to do, please help!!!

Hi everyone!!!
I did it!!!!! I'm so excited, I finally did it.
So for anyone if anyone ever goes through this same issue, it turns out, the correct location to put the color profile is actually:
- /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended
NO OTHER LOCATION WILL WORK. At least that was my case. lol. I'm so relieved. I read a lot about this so if anyone ever has a problem like mine maybe I can help you.
Bye! best wished for everyone!
In Illustrator there is a More Options button, you have to click it in order to see all of the available system profiles and get the Conversion Options.
Hi maria,
well done getting it to work
just because some future users will refer back to this list I'd better write that, strictly speaking, your answer is only partly correct, because the:
'computer name'/'hard disc name'/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended
isn't the only place Photoshop will "see" installed ICC profiles. But it is for Illustrator unless you click "more options" - see Rob-Day's informative post in this thread for more info on that.

if you want a profile to appear near the top of the list in Adobethen recommended is the right folder, however any profile from - /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles should also appear in Adobe application lists
there are other locations too, please see where are my profiles
I hope this helps

On OSX there are quite a few ICC profile folders, here's a list:
Profiles the Mac OS requires:
/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Profiles available to all logged in users and all [colour management savvy] applications
/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Profiles limited to an individual logged in user
/Users/username/Library/ColorSync/Profiles
Profiles that are listed only in Adobe applications:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles
Profiles that are listed in the upper section of the profile lists in Adobe applications:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Recommended
Abstract Profiles available in Photoshop for Color Lookup layers
[ https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/photoshop/how-to/edit-photo-color-lookup-adjustment.html ]:
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color Profiles
Also, a printer manufacturer's driver software will often install their own ICC media profiles in the Library/Printers folder, but these are not usually available outside of the OSX 'Print' dialog unless you copy them into one of the ColorSync/Profiles folders above.
e.g. mine are here:
/Library/Printers/EPSON/InkjetPrinter2/ICCProfiles/Epson Stylus Pro 4900_4910.profiles/Contents/Resources
to get in there you'd need to right (or control) click and select "show contents"
I hope this helps
if so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as "correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution

Just to clarify, the OP was asking about missing profiles in Illustrator’s Color Settings, which has the extra Less and More Options button. When it is toggled to Less, the profile list is limited to the Adobe Recommended folder. I think Photoshop used to have a Basic/Advanced button that did the same.

Rob,
thanks lots for that extra clarity,
I must admit I had forgotten about that "more options" button.
