I see Apple finally took my advice and provided for user calibration of the Studio Display. Yeah, sounds great, but it will not recognize my Xrite i1 Pro3 Plus spectro. I tried all USB connections (computer, display, dock). Any help out there?

Studio Display
I found a way. No idea when this change was made, but there is now a way (MacOS 14.1.2):
System Settings > Displays > Studio Display > Preset > Select: Apple Display (P3-600 nits).
I believe this zero's out the display settings. With this preset selected launch your profiling software and profile as normal.
I haven't contacted Xrite, but I did find on Apple's site that there are only two obscure and highly technical company's devices they do support. So apparently not intended for photographers. I do find this to be really annoying. I would never have purchased this display if I knew I couldn't use ICC color management with it. The built in cals are decent, but not great. I can do one **** of a lot better with ICC. Even the visual color adjustment built into the OS is strictly white point. Grrrr.
Open System Settings > Displays > Color profile. Choose "Customize" from the drop down menu. Hold the option key and choose the + symbol.
I fiddled with this for a long time before I found something that kind of makes sense. Run your calibration software and save your profile. It should live in library> ColorSync> Profiles. This however, does not show when you are in Settings> Display and try to find that profile, and is grayed out if you import it. However, if you instead open ColorSync Utility> Devices> Displays and select your display, you can set your created profile to Current. In system preferences it'll still show the apple calibration preset, but you can see the change if (in ColorSync Utility) you set the current profile back to default (giving you confidence to set it back to your created profile again). I remain only about 75% confident with this, hah, but it does seem to help match my multiple displays/computers to the light box we use.
What did x-rite have to say?
Thanks for the suggestion but that is not it. That is not what I need, nor is it available for the Studio Display in the current OS and display software.
Glad you found something that works for you.
Why is my Xrite i1 Pro3 Plus not recognized by Studio Display?
