I followed the instructions on how to install the CocoOS templates. I checked and the folders were corrected in the "Project Templates" folder, yet when I try and create a new project the CocoOS templates are nowhere to be found. I am running XCode version 3.2.2, which is required to start iPad programming.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Did you run the install_template.sh in terminal? If it failed to work, it should of had some error messages. What were they?
In general, you should check
'
/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Project Templates/Application
'
and make sure the templates are in that folder after you run install_template.sh.
Same exact problem as bugzilla. Follow instructions to install 0.99.1 from scratch; template libs copy fine, but template files don't.
- Untar the zip to /Developer/Library/
- In terminal, went to /Developer/Library/cocos2d-iphone-0.99.1/
Output:
$ ./install_template.sh

Installing cocos2d template

Installing cocos2d + box2d template

Installing cocos2d + chipmunk template
--------------------------------------
...creating destination directory: /Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/Library/Xcode/Project Templates/Application/cocos2d-0.99.1 Chipmunk Application/
...copying template files
cp: templates/cocos2d_chipmunk_app/: No such file or directory
...copying cocos2d files
...copying cocos2d dependency files
...copying CocosDenshion files
...copying cocoslive files
...copying cocoslive dependency files
...copying Chipmunk files
done!
--> Notice the following:
cp: templates/cocos2d_app/: No such file or directory
cp: templates/cocos2d_box2d_app/: No such file or directory
cp: templates/cocos2d_chipmunk_app/: No such file or directory
Only the libs files are properly copied; none of the template project files went. After copying those manually, you can create a new project using any of the templates. The cocos2d_app template gives you a build with 94 errors. Updating the header search path to include (recursively) /Developer/Library/cocos2d-iphone-0.99.1/ cuts the error count down to 67.
Trouble starts when the compiler gets to CCAction. FontLabel through SimpleAudioEngine are fine. Probably missing a lib here. Ideas?
Will update if I solve it. PS I love Cocos2d.
Ok, got it.
Those last 67 errors are due to Xcode looking in the wrong place for the core cocos2d and cocos2d/Support files. Copy those from /Developer/Library/cocos2d-iphone-0.99.1/cocos2d into YourProject/libs/cocos2d and YourProject/libs/cocos2d/Support. That's where the template tells the compiler to look.
To the team: looks like the installer script has a bug, and these two posts show the fix.
cocos2d v0.99.2 will have a better installer.

I just got the 0.99.2 and tried to install the template but when I ran it this was what it returned and no additional templates were added:
cocos2d-iphone template installer
Installing cocos2d template
----------------------------------------------------
template already installed
My previous version of Cocos2D-iPhone template is 0.8.2 I believe.
@Jamorn, I have the exactly the same problem with cocos2d 0.99.2
my output:
giangnd-mac:cocos2d-iphone-0.99.2-rc atmel$ sudo ./install-templates.sh
Password:

In 0.99.2, if the destination directories for the templates already exist, it will skip copying. You can force the install with:
./install-templates.sh -f
