I can't copy the ICC profile into the directory /Library/ColorSync/Profiles even typing the admin password. Please help, I need to send the files to the lab asap and they need to go through the lab ICC profile first!

Correct answer victoriac43973358

It wasn't clear from your reply: Did you try Library/ColorSync/Profiles in your *home* folder, not in /Library?


Solved! I don't know how but after thousand times trying it worked!

You can install the profile in /Users/[username]/Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder instead.  Be sure to restart all your Adobe apps after installing the profile.

    I tried, but the system doesn't let me do it even though I am the administrator. It is a read only folder and I can't change that

    This is the only info I found, but I don't want to risk doing any of these things!

    "I can suggest 2 approaches. One approach is fast but deprecated. Second approach is modern but needs a bit of coding and reading documentation:

    You need to write bash script which will do what you need and execute it with privileges which will be granted using something like this: STPrivilegedTask

    Write privileged helper tool which will be installed once on first access with root privileges and you will be able do any privileged operation How to write privileged helper tool"
