Default Stock Templates not available

hello,

Just downloaded PT 12 and noticed that there are no stock templates available in the quick start menu. I checked the path and there is no template folder in the protools file on my hard drive, just a folder for all of my external plugins?

this was a clean install and not an upgrade.

I had stock templates in mine and they continue to appear as options every time that I open the program.

This bugs me too. I installed PT 11 after having removed PT 9 by hand and there is no "Session Templates" folder in user/documents/protools or anywhere else on the disks. (OS X Yosemite)

Anyone else? Of course I have copies of my old templates but although PT 11 runs fine it seems like something went wrong silently during the installation (such as other missing things?).

Did you change your Pro Tools root folder in preferences? If you did, and clicked "no" when it asked if you wanted to move stuff to the new folder, you won't have any templates.

Same problem here, only this is the first version of Pro Tools I've ever owned (I work in Logic typically).

Is it possible to manually download+reinstall the stock templates?

Regarding the stock templates, I never have an issue finding them, but the first thing I do after an installation is to delete them. They really have no bearing on how most of us work, anyway. My advice; make your own and keep a copy of these in a separate place, so they don't accidentally get removed during an uninstall of Pro Tools. I have templates made to cover most things I am liable to encounter, such as:
Full band recording
Singing to a track
Acoustic demo
Piano demo

Then, any time I will be working with a group on more than 1 song, when we finish tracking the first song, I will save that as a template(without media) so we start the next song with all the headphone mixes dialed in

Like Dave, I've been making my own templates for years. Along with the tracks that I typically use, I have my buses customized for things like "reverb" and "delay".

I fixed this problem, I think it's some sort of conflict with new OSX or maybe with new PT folder locations. It has to do with documents folder permissions.

Basically I changed the permissions on my documents/pro tools folder to be "read and write" (and selected the action to apply to all subfolders) for all main users and administrators. It required me to click the + symbol and manually add "administrators" and anything else that looked right, and made sure they were allowed.

That totally fixed the issue for me.
