"Failed to Add the Preset" Apple Studio Display Display Preset Issue

When I try to create a Display Preset for my Apple Studio Display, I get an error stating "Failed to Add the Preset". This is actually a preset I used to have, but after updating to MacOS Sequoia, I can no longer add new presets (just to the apple studio display, as I can now add presets again to the Laptop monitor (couldn't before on beta). Is there any way to fix this? It's fairly important in my line of work.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.0

Apple hasn't been willing to replace it. Issue still happens, it's clearly a fault of the monitor, and since we can't reset them to factory defaults, I kind of think Apple is just hoping we'll shut up about it.

Having the same problem as of Sequoia's final release.


My presets are gone, and I cannot color calibrate the monitor properly because of this issue.


  1. Tried unplugging the monitor for a half hour to power drain and cycle it back up.
  2. Rebooted several times.


Waiting on the new Asus 8K monitor to become available, and then no more Apple monitors for me!

I was able to test a friend's M3 MacBook Pro and noticed two things.

Thing 1. It still doesn't work.

Thing 2. My presets are still there on his computer, which made me realize these presets are stored IN THE MONITOR, not in the computer. Therefore nothing you do to your computer is going to make this work or not work. This needs to be fixed within the monitor firmware, or the monitor itself. I'm going to talk to Apple again about this and see what can be done.
