Hi, I'm trying to insert a family from the insert manager and I keep getting the message "Unable to insert element. Couldn't load family symbol". Can anyone explain this to me? I am new to Revit!

You are loading the wrong family/category. If you explain what you are trying to model and where did you start, other users might be able to help you better
PS: usually a screenshot helps us understand better what is happening at your end.

I am trying to build a piece of retail racking for work. The library of parts was provided. Most I can just select from the insert manager and place into the model but this shelf is giving me trouble.

There are certain families/components which may not be loaded into other categories. Example:
From how it looks, you have a 3rd party application/plugin used for building/putting furniture together by dragging and dropping from an inventory.
If you can attach the .rfa file of the family shown in that warning, I might be able to tell you more where and hw you can use it
See link below for more details.

Thanks for your help! I don't have the .rfa file. I'm just going to pass this on to someone with more file access to solve!
A plugin

Its more or less a library content manager/organizer which user can drag and drop from and preview Families from folders or projects...with other useless functions, nothing which one cannot do with windows explorer.
Seen it al lot used by fitouts designers and contractor...
UI Kinda looks like this
