I am sorry, but after numerous attempts I have not been successful at installing the templates. While they are plainly visible in the Finder window in the correct location, they simply do not appear as "user presets" in Lightroom.

As you can tell I am now using a (brand new) MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8 and Lightroom 4, but also tried all day yesterday to load the Pro templates on my year-old iMac which is also running OS 10.8 and Lightroom 4 with same disappointing result. Is it possible that they are not working in 10.8?

By the way, where are the templates that come with the basic package. When I unzipped there was no file indicating basic templates.
