Factory Profile for Display Could Not be Found

some months ago, somehow deleted factory profile imac display.

unable calibrate display - when try, dialogue box:

cannot calibrate display
factory profile display not found.

have searched around on web - seems recurring problem. have tried number of more obvious fixes:

- repaired permissions
- searched (and found) display profiles elsewhere on system, , moved them profiles folder(s)
- reset pram
- restarted imac
- had @ plistedit pro; think fix pointing preferences @ display profile, however, looks mess system software easily, haven't yet used it.
- checked os installation cds/dvds can't locate suitable looking profile.

suggestions?

isn't major problem - have number of save profiles can choose - but, lot of photography, recalibrate display 2-3 times year, in case display (or eyes) have 'aged'.

clever fixes (like plistedit pro) , i'll need detailed instrustions ....

not sure sending me factory profile work (but might) - seems once link colorsync factory profile broken, can't reset?

guess re-installing lion fix going hassle ....?

thanks,

you won't need send apple.

either or app deleted file/changed permissions or hdd/sdd losing bits , corrupting file

app use calibrate display?

right click, info, , find file on hdd, , click "show folder contents" , should find file in app bundle, or in same folder. if dosen't work, see if can app show opened files , paths, should lead in right direction.

google friend.

seems file in folder.

library/colorsync/profiles/displays

names may have changed slightly, thread few years old. it's still same os , file layout mac os x versions.

try bottom solution first, btw.
