Can't select a PMS Color in PS CC

I'm trying to select a specific Pantone Swatch. I go to the Swatches panel, use the dropdown on the upper right, choose Solid Uncoated, but then get the attached error message...

If I click on ok or Append nothing happens.

How can I select a PMS Color?

Thanks.

    You should see the solid coated swatches. From the Swatches Panel menu, choose "Large List" and you should see the Pantone numbers next to the swatches.

    Another way is to open the Color Picker and choose Color Libraries and the Pantone Solid colors from the dropdown menu. From there you can select the Pantone color you want. If you have a certain Pantone number in mind, type it in and you should be taken to that color directly.
