Recent Mac operating systems, by default, hide the User/Library folder which several color management applications would access in order to store and access profiles.

Here are a few options:
* The hidden Library folder can be accessed by selecting "Go" from the menu bar with the [ALT]-key pressed, navigating to the ColorSync folder and then the Profiles folder. Either make an Alias and move it to a visible folder of your choice or drag the Profiles folder to your Favorites in the side bar. The profiles can now be readily accessed.

Example of System Profiler details

This page contains a reference table to aid in the migration to Apple's OS X Lion (10.7) system software.

OS X Lion does not include the "Rosetta" technology that emulates the PowerPC (PPC) processor. Without Rosetta, any Mac OS X applications which only have PPC code will not run!

To determine if an application is PPC only try one of these methods:

To view all the apps on your system for PowerPC software, try this:

  1. Click the Apple in the upper left corner,
  2. Select "About this Mac" and "More Info"
  3. Under Contents, open the Software list and choose "Applications"
  4. The "Kind" column lists whether the ap is PowerPC, Classic, Intel or Universal.

Many common Color Management tools and utilities are PPC only and will not be available to users running OS X Lion. X-Rite, CHROMiX and other companies offer tools that have been updated to run on Lion and will perform many similar tasks as the older PPC software you may be accustomed to using. Please refer to the following table to determine if there are alternatives for your tools and needs. Also, if you have an application or need that does not appear in this list, please let us know and we'll do our best to add it to this reference tool.

Hidden User folder workarounds

Recent Mac operating systems, by default, hide the User/Library folder which several color management applications would access in order to store and access profiles.

Here are a few options:

chflags nohidden ~/Library

or simply copy the above command to the terminal window.

Note: Create the tilde by pressing [ALT] N

This will enable the User/Library folder to be visible and accessible as with previous versions of OS X.
