Have you tried to a Configure after installation? I am just trying to
invent a solution to a problem that I have not met myself (since all my
setup from 1.6 has been migrated to 2 during installation).

Hello Zan,

the installation of LyX-2.0 uses another folder for the user settings and does 
not touch the 1.6 settings.

Regarding the user configuration there are two possible scenarios:

1) you want to make a fresh 2.0 install
That's what you did, effectively.

2) you want to continue with your 1.6 files
Then you should copy and rename your folder Library/Application Support/Lyx-1.6 
to Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.0.
This is documented in the Documents folder of the LyX distribution media.
If you've used LyX-2.0 already you have to remove or rename the existing 
Library/Application Support/Lyx-2.0 folder first.

Stephan

PS: There is a known problem with the availability of the system templates and 
examples.

A little cryptic.

It isn't clear to me (a Mac OS X user) which Library/Application Support/
sub-directory the original poster refers to. There is the system-wide
directory under /Library and the one under $HOME. Although I guess as there
is no Lyx-2.0 folder in the system-wide /Library on my Mac where LyX is
installed that the reference is to the $HOME location.

The standard templates and layouts that LyX uses are stored in the
application bundle for LyX rather than /Library, which I believe would be
the more Mac natural location. Depending on where you are when you look for
that content you may have to use an often overlooked key-modifier with your
mouse click (so overlooked I can't recall what it is at this moment). There
are regular posts here about the tutorial.lyx file being missing; it isn't
it just hidden in the bundle and needs that arcane knowledge in order to be
seen.

The templates and layouts that LyX can use from $HOME/Library/Application
Support/LyX-2.0 are the user's own versions (whether modified from standard
copies or self-developed). Immediately after installation the various
sub-directories are empty because nothing personal has been added to them.

As a workaround so you see something you can also follow this advice from Jens
Nöckel in a post on Fri, May 13, 2011 at 1:52 AM in response to a similar
question of mine.

 Just go to Preferences  Paths and change the field for Document
templates to /Applications/LyX.app/Contents/Resources/templates/

it just hidden in the bundle and needs that arcane knowledge in order to be
seen.

The templates and layouts that LyX can use from $HOME/Library/Application
Support/LyX-2.0 are the user's own versions (whether modified from standard
copies or self-developed). Immediately after installation the various
sub-directories are empty because nothing personal has been added to them.

As a workaround so you see something you can also follow this advice from Jens
Nöckel in a post on Fri, May 13, 2011 at 1:52 AM in response to a similar
question of mine.

This refers to the phrase "LyX is not supported on Mac as I would like".
And it's a matter of fact that it costs some time to answer a question.
And it's no disaster to wait for an answer two days.
