ColorSync Utility issues

I am not sure how to explain this but I will do my best. When I tried to print something in photoshop, I got a message saying the color may come out different and either printer or photoshop color mangagement is reccomened and I ran a verfification through the color Profile first aid and the following came up.

Searching for profiles...

Checking 75 profiles...

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/AnimePalette.icc

Header message digest (MD5) is not correct.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/ColorNegative.icc

Header message digest (MD5) is not correct.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/RedBlueYelllow.icc

Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/Smokey.icc

Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/TealMagentaGold.icc

Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.

/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Profiles/TotalInkPreview.icc

Tag 'pseq': Required tag is not present.

Verify done - found 6 bad profiles.

I am not familiar with these documents. And when I tried to repair them, it said that they are all locked. I do not notice any obvious problems with colors but is this something that I should address? and if so, What has to happen to fix this? Please help.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

I had a similar window open up, but it was not in photoshop, it was in preview. I opened system prferences>print&scan and deleted the printer and then added it back again. It resolved the issue for me, but it was in preview (printing a pdf) not in photoshop.

I forgot to mention that after I deleted the printer, I restarted the machine. After I added the printer, I ran software update.

Check the suggestions in this thread:

ColorSync Utility

I had the same message on my MacBook Pro Retina Mid2012, but after the repair, which left also some "damaged" profiles, I did not recognize any different behavior printing from Photoshop or similar programs.

Somewhere in the forums I read, that Apple changed some things in the color management in 10.8 compared to 10.6, which was the last OS I worked on before switching to 10.8.5 and the new MacBook Pro.

Ah I didn't know that. Are you saying you think this is a kink that Apple needs to work out?

I think due to the move from 10.6 up to 10.8.5 using my backed up data, there have been some "old" icc profiles left that did not make the move completely.

I compared the output results of my printer with those I made in iOS 10.6 and since the prints did not differ, I left the profiles as they were and did not try to fix anything.
