Color profile not showing in Indesign?

I am having an issue with Indesign.
I installed an ICC color profile in my Library/ColorSync/Profiles folder. It shows up in Photoshop but not in Indesign.

And also, in Photoshop there is the ability to actually use "Load CMYK" profile, whereas it is absent from Indesign.

So if I have been given a colour profile and want to use it for an Indesign document, how do I import it/apply it to the document if it doesn't show in the list?

Thanks!

Ha! Found an answer online:

"In Photoshop, from Edit>Colour Settings, set your CMYK colour space to the
printer's profile you require and then SAVE your colour settings to a Colour
Settings File (.CSF). Name it so you know what destination output device it
refers to.

Now from Illustrator's and InDesign's (and Acrobat's if you have it)
Edit>Colour Settings LOAD that .CSF you just saved."

Will let this forum know if it worked or not!
