If the drive is formatted NTFS, you'll need a third party driver to be able to write to it. You probably had one on the old iMac and haven't added it to the new. ParagonNTFS is the one I use.

Not formatted ntfs.

Are you trying to save a template? Can you save it to another location, then move it?

Try to save it to the Desktop and then move it to where you want it.
