The problem comes from the fact that no email is set in the database and you can wether get the data from a clean installation or set it by yourself througth the admin : System > configuration > transactionnal emails.
I would advise you the second solution that is in my opinion safier and permits to define the email as you wish with the design you want to use.
If you do not have any default template in your selectbox, you can check under the app / locale / yourlanguage / template / email if you do not have anything, you should have under the en_US folder. You can copy and adapt. If you have nothing under these two folder, you can get it from a basic installation.

The problem is precisely that I cannot create transactional emails. When I access System > transactional emails and push the add button. The system ask me to set a default template but the select control to select it is empty. – Lorena Aug 26 '14 at 10:05
