I'm a little unclear about what profile you made with the Spyder and what
you named it. But the fix is easy. Go into the Monitors Control Panel and
click on the button called "color." From there you'll see a small list of
profiles. Click on the correct profile made with the spyder (and trash the
other display profiles you don't want). But selecting the correct profile
here, you set that as your system profile. You can't do this in ColorSync
(since version 3.0). What profile you pick here in Monitors will become the
system profile. It will then show up in ColorSync and in Photoshop as
described above.
