Error message when creating templates

Every time I go to save a logic template in the correct folder I get the following message

 

'Please choose a location in the template folder or one of its subfolders!'

 

I am locating the correct folder, but this message comes up every time.

 

Please can you help?

Can anyone help with this?

You're trying to save to Logic's factory templates location. You need to save your own templates in

 

Macintosh HD/you/Library/Application Support/Logic/Project Templates/

Thanks for the reply, this is where I'm saving too and I am still getting this same error message

Try Repair Permissions via Disk Utility, reboot, see if it works?

Hi Thanks for advice unfortunately this didn't work either, has anyone else got any suggestions?

Can you try again, only this time make a screenshot of the Save dialog and post it here... because if permissions are good and you're pointing to the correct folder, I don't see why you should get this message...

Here we go, on image is of the location I am saving too, the other is the permissions repair outcome.

 

Hope you can help.

That's the wrong Library folder. Follow the same path, but starting from your home folder. Which is hidden by default in Lion.

 

To make it visible you can open Terminal and enter the following:

 

chflags nohidden ~/Library

Ah I see!! How do I unhide it in Lion?

I edited my post above to include one way to make it visible.

Awesome!! All done, you are a star!

 

Lion has a lot to answer for!

 

Thanks again

Cool, man. You're welcome.

No Joy with High Sierra. I used finder->view options from my home folder. One of the options is literally "Make Library Folder Visible", which I did. I could now see the folder in logic and navigate to it. Tried to save. Same message. Created a subfolder from within Logic tried again. No Joy. Did a Get Info from home folder on Library folder and granted read/write access to the world. No Joy.

Normally you shouldn't change the default location to save your templates. That default location is now ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates/

Bumping on this thread, even though it's way later. I have moved my whole Music folder to another drive for space issues, and created a symbolic link to that drive, now Logic is annoying me with this error. Only workaround is to save as a normal project is the appropriate folder, it is then seen as a template anyway. Wondering if there is any difference whatsoever between projects and templates, apart from the directory they are stored in...

Now that Logic has its own way to relocate the sound library (Logic Pro X > Sound Library > Relocate Sound Library), you really should be using that to avoid any issues.
