As you can see in this pic, I'm having trouble entering the calibration process on a new mbp with antiglare hd.

I've never done this before. So it may be something silly/obvious that I'm missing. I apologize if that is the case!

I do realize it's not the best, this is just a temporary fix for about 1 week before I can do a proper calibration.

What am I missing here? Thanks for any input.

Uncheck the box that says "Show profiles for this display only." Then try again, whatever you were doing. ;)

What happens if you select "color LCD" and try again?

Profiles are either in Macintosh HD/Library/Colorsync/P​rofiles/Displays or ~/Library/Colorsync/Pr​ofiles/Displays

I still don't see what profiles you are expecting to see. These are created by calibration devices after careful checks are done on your own monitor. Any pre-existing "generic" profile is worthless.

Also, a major part of the calibration process is resetting the luminance level down to something suitable. This cannot happen if your own monitor is not calibrated.
