CC 2014 freezing as soon as Type tool initiated

When attempting to use Type tool, Photoshop freezes. Forced to quit via task manager. Every other tool working fine. Anyone familiar with this problem?

Yeah, I've tried the same font troubleshooting steps, as detailed here:

And it's not helped.
Since you mentioned having meticulously through the linked help doc, look at this thread:

If that does not solve it, then you have to contact support.

  • How do I get PS CS5 to stop freezing when I select the type tool?

    Okay, I've read the other threads about photoshop cs5 freezing up for various reasons. I'm running it on os x 10.5.8 on a dual quad 2.8 processor tower. Every time I open PS and select the type tool, my entire computer slows and freezes to the point I have to do a hard restart. I've tried disabling all fonts and the same things happens (though when they're all disabled I do get a text cursor before things hang up). I'm looking for any advice--I spend the entire day today trying to fix this.

    Chris, I tried updating and it wouldn't install... Are you not allowed to install updates when you are using the "trial version"?
    I sure would like to get this resolved before investing in the actual purchase of CS5. I always get the Master Collection and it's expensive.
    So, if I can't install the update and try and find a fix to the issue, I don't think I'd be comfortable purchasing... you know?
    That's why I ALWAYS download the trial version first... to see if there are issues before buying!
    Anyway... I'll keep my eye on these posts to see if this has been cleared up... then, I'll buy.
    But, thanks very much for your help and feedback to my question and concern.
    appreciate it!

  • Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

    aarrgghh
    Where is the vertical type tool in InDesign CC 2014???

    Thanks. Yes, I had referred to that InDesign Secrets post before posting my question. Thus my question about table. Still dont know why my insert table command is greyed out. The stairstep method doesnt work with my narrow spine and decorative, non-monospace font, as explained in exchange here with Bob Levine. And downloading the CJK version for this single, simple task is just too much trouble. The individual text frames proved the fastest solution.

  • Photoshop freezes up when trying to use the Type tool.

    Each time I try to use the Type tool, my Photoshop freezes up. I have to force it to close, then start over.

  • Why does Elements 12 crash as soon as I open Type tool?  Get message "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred.  Photoshop Elements will now exit.  Using Mac

    Why does Elements 12 crash as soon as I open Type tool?  Get message "An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred.  Photoshop Elements will now exit."  Using Mac.  No imported fonts

    Thank you, Barbara.  All fonts seemed fine, no empty or duplicates.  When I went back to Elements and tried again, it did not crash!  After months of not being able to use type tool,,, not sure why it worked, but it did.  Thanks again!  I appreciate the time you took to answer my question.

  • Photoshop program error when type tool is selected

    I've been trying to use the type tool in Photoshop and I am able to select the tool, however as soon as I place the cursor on my document, I get a program error. From there, I have to force quit the program to get out of it. I downloaded a security update for my mac yesterday, but since I haven't been using the type tool in photoshop recently, I'm not sure if that had anything to do with this issue or not. Has anyone had the same problem?
    would appreciate any help. Thank you.

    Let me clarify. I'm running Mac OS X v. 10.4.11, Photoshop CS4. The error message just says "Could not complete your request because of program error". I haven't uploaded any new fonts to my system, however, I have deleted some that were suspect of being corrupt. I cannot change fonts on the type tool because it doesn't give me a chance, the error message pops up instantly. I have reset my tools and deleted my preferences and even reinstalled Photoshop CS4 but nothing has worked.

  • CS6 Photoshop crashes when trying to use type tool or opening up .psd files. Any ideas on how to fix it???

    I have Adobe CS6 Design Standard (MAC). I have had it about a year and a half and use it a ton! Just yesterday while I was using Photoshop, I clicked to use the type tool, the "initializing type tool" box popped up then a few seconds later the whole program crashed. I tried opening it back up and every time I did it just kept crashing. I restarted and shut down my computer, but still no solution. I even uninstalled the program then reinstalled. Same thing. All of my other tools work just fine (brush tool, eraser, crop, etc.). Also, when I try to open up a .psd file the program crashes as well.
    I tried searching the internet for solutions, but couldn't find much. One suggestion was to delete the Adobe Photoshop program settings file, I did that but it still didn't work. After each crash a report would be sent to Adobe, then another window would pop up saying that Adobe has found a solution for the recent crash. There is a link that says "please CLICK HERE for further details" but the link doesn't take me anywhere. It just doesn't work!
    Has anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas on how to fix it? I really need to get this up and running again!!!

    This is a user to user forum and Adobe Staff does drop by.
    First thing to try is Reset the Type Tool by right-clicking on its' icon in the Options bar.
    If you still have problems, it could be related to fonts. Here is a step by step troubleshooting help doc for that.

  • Photoshop CS4 type tool and paint bucket

    I am teaching Photoshop CS4 to my students and have started having problems I've never encountered.
    Problem #1 - Type tool won't work. We can create a text box and type in it. Text does not show on the document but does show in the layers palette. I've made sure the layer is on top, text is not too large for text box and font color contrasts the background. I've looked at the character and paragraph palettes looking for something unusual but have found nothing.
    Problem #2 - the paint bucket is "stuck" on one color. No matter which color swatch I choose, the color does not change. I have created new documents and also shut down and re-opened the program but that didn't help either.
    Has enyone encountered these problems? How did you solve the problem?

    The Reset Preferences "three-finger salute" is for Windows. Press and hold all there, BEFORE you launch PS. Keep holding them down THROUGH the ENTIRE loading process.
    Depending on how you start Photoshop, holding the keys down ahead of time won't work on Windows 7, Bill (and I'm not sure, but possibly other versions of Windows as well).
    For example, double clicking an icon on the desktop with Control-Shift-Alt held down brings up the Properties of the icon.
    You actually have to press and hold the keys as soon as humanly possible after starting the app.  You have to be quick, but when you're quick enough you'll get...

  • Photoshop CS3 Extended "Not Responding" after selecting horizontal type tool.

    Hello,
    When I start my PhotoShop CS3 Extended v10.0 and load up a jpg and
    then zoom in and go select the horizontal type tool and click on my
    jpg, PS just freezes and then I click the main screen and then it
    tells me infinetly that it has "Stop Responding"
    I am running Win XP Pro SP2 (2600) 2GB DDR, ample HD space, Intel Core
    Duo processor 1.66GHz.
    Can some one tell me whats going on?

    I have deleted the pref file vie the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod.
    It still won't load up.
    How did I get to the Crtl + Alt + Shft Meathod?
    Good question..... I right clicked the .exe icon and selected
    Run as , Current User and --> Unchecked <-- "Protect computer and data
    from unauthorized program activity"
    And SP started up with no problems.
    BTW I wasn't being sarcastic with my last post as I see you used
    all Caps in your reply which on the internet is considerd yelling.
    If I had something sarcastic to say i would put in quotes "said with
    a sarcastic tone", but i did not. I was mearly implying what the words
    ment. I say what I mean and I mean what I say, period. Thanks for your help BTW and for now that problem still remains when clicking
    the .exe file. Nothing has changed other then I can start PS when
    following the directions I have stated here in this reply.
    What are your opinions on this?
    I would love to hear your thoughts.

  • Fireworks Crashes / Freezes When Using the Text Tool

    Mac Octocore > OSX 10.6.1
    Master Collection > Fireworks CS4
    First I noticed the text box shift.Then Fireworks CS4 would freeze during any of the following:
    • Resize grouped text
    • Move text box
    • Click on text box to edit with type tool
    • Double-click on text box to edit with pointer tool
    So I started a brand new file, but encountered the same outcome. Thus, Fireworks CS4 is currently useless if text is needed. I can create vector based objects, but just clicking on the canvas (or clicking the font menu) with the text tool freezes Fireworks CS4 instantly. I've had similar issues with Fireworks CS3 edition, but if I started a new file, I was at least able to use the text tool again and type. Now, I can't even recreate the file. I have to abandon Fireworks and use a combination of Photoshop and Illustrator before my timeline becomes even further behind.
    I'm at a complete loss.

  • Photoshop CS4 shuts down when I access type tool

    Recently, I started having a problem that I wasn't having before.  I can import photos from Bridge and edit and run actions, but as soon as I hit the Type tool, photoshop shuts down.  When I open it back up, it has reverted back to original format and no settings are saved, actions loaded, etc.  This error also occurs when importing previously made .psd files.  Help?

    The minute I select the Type tool, it shuts down (error reads:  Adobe Photoshop CS4 has stopped working). 
    As far as updates, I am not sure if I am getting them or not. ?
    I have not changed any fonts lately.  
    To give some more history:  I am a PC user.  I have two solid state hard drives (one for programs and one for data) and also multiple other drives I use.  A few months ago, I randomly started having problems in Bridge.  It wouldn't load.  I think it was an internal permissions error, but we never could figure it out.  Trying lots of things (reinstalled it several times), I even upgraded one of my solid state drives to make more space in case that was the problem.  Still not working, I downloaded the trial version of CS6 (which I am planning on upgrading to real soon) and as soon as I downloaded that, my CS4 bridge started working.  Weird!  So both sets worked.  Once my CS6 trial expired, I had to go back to using CS4.  However, right after that is when this problem started.  I have no idea where to even begin to see what is wrong and until I can afford the upgrade, am not sure what to do.  I do still have the CS6 software installed (although it is not licensed and won't launch) - should I remove that and see if that is a conflict somehow?

  • Indesign CC: Type tool

    Using InDesign CC, it has been working fine then today when I try and drag a type box it automatically goes to 21" and I can not type into it.

    No Object Style just clicking on the Type Tool and clicking on the blank page. As soon as I click to start to drag for a text box a 21" box appears and I can not type into it. It has the red X in the bottom right as though it is a text box with more copy than you can see in it. But there is not any copy in it.

  • Photoshop type tool strange behavior

    Created a new text layer in Photoshop by dragging the type tool on canvas and the character color palette displays a "?". Whatever I do (typing text, changing font), can't get to change that for an actual color.

    Someone gave me an RGB PSD layered file with some text layers asking me to figure out what happened. As soon as the "text box" of the layer is selected, the type that used to be white disappears and the text color icon becomes "?". I then tried to reproduce the problem on a new created empty document, selected the text tool and clicked on the canvas to create a text layer and color is "?". Same thing happens when dragging with the text tool...

  • Type tool anchor and pen tool problems CS4

    I have been working in In-design for my classes and everything is working fine. But recently I needed to do some work in Illustrator but when I opened the program up, some of my tools seems to be slightly bugged or something.
    The type tool will not make the anchor where I initially click. It creates the anchor around the center point of the type box. This is really annoying because if you have a specific grid, it will not line up to it. I have never adjusted this I don't think because now I have no clue on how to fix it!
    Also, my pen tool seems to be messed up. I first create the starting point, but then when I make the second point and try to drag out the node arms to make a curve, it only has one arm! Thus, the curve never is created, so I can't draw with the pen tool, therefore I fail my classes... haha
    I have a big project starting soon and any help with this odd problem would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much for any potential help
    -- Jordan

    To try to make things more clear:
    When I click on the type tool, the line tool, or the rectangle tool (any tool used by clicking on a starting point 'anchor' and dragging it) if I click and drag to the bottom right, it creates a rectangle that around the center point of the bounding box. Its really freaking weird. I've asked all my design friends and they don't know either. BUT! If I click to make the initial anchor, then drag to the upper left it works as the type tool bounding box usually does. Meaning, I can make the box to conform to grid lines, or the like. The rectangle tool does this as well.
    Now, the line tool is messed up as well, but a little different. When I select the anchor point and then start to drag (click then drag to the right) the anchor does not stay in place. IT GOES OFF TO THE LEFT. It is so annoying. So If I'm trying to make a line that goes from the top of the page down, the line will go down with my cursor as I drag down, but it will also go up at the same rate. Its real dumb. Any help would be great.
    As for the pen tool:
    I'm not a new user to Illustrator. I've been using it for years now and never seen this problem. I showed it to my professor and he had no clue. I have used CS3 and CS5 as well and both operate normally and much different from mine. I can't exactly explain it for it is that weird, but if there is any way I can reset the tool, or put it back to its defaults that would help a lot.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jordan

  • Type Tool Problems. Photoshop CC. on Windows 8

    Hi, When I try to use my type tool in photoshop the photograph I am trying to enter text on to goes completely black and I cannot see what I am typing.  I am sure the solution must be simple but I cannot find it.  I want to watermark my photos and it is turning into a bit of a problem.  All the videos I have watched show that entering type should be a simple task but I click on the type tool then click on my photo to commence typing and the photo goes completely black.  Any help will be very gratefully appreciated.

    That sounds like it may be caused by windows 8 and the display driver installed. Check the display makers web site to make sure you have their latest windows 8 device driver installed.
