CS6 Crash on Text Select Tool

So I've just updated to CS6 (8.0.1) from 5, and every time I try to select the type tool and click to drag or click an existing box I get a crash. Not so with the earlier version CS5 (7.0.4).

I've run Cocktail (permissions repaired) and reloaded the software with no joy.
Anyone?

The mistake I made was that I deleted the files, (InDesign Defaults and InDesign Saved Data), what I had to do was rename the folder that contains the file(s) (Version 8.0 folder). Renaming as opposed to Deleting so you can revert back to the originals if needed.
So, for;
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/(Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used) Rename the Version 8.0 folder something else, e.g., "Old 8.0"
Do the same for;
Macintosh: Hard Drive/Users/<USER>/Library/Caches/Adobe InDesign/<Version #>/<Language>/ (Note: Prior to version 6 [CS4] the language folder is not used)
Rename the Version 8.0 folder something else, e.g., "Old 8.0"
Now start InDesign. This is what worked for me. You might want to try deleting just the files ("InDesign Defaults" and "Saved Data") from their respective folders before doing the whole folder rename way.

  • Photoshop CS6 crashes constantly when selecting tools or saving

    Like the title says, my CS6 keeps crashing constantly. Sometimes it's after I click a tooltip, sometimes it's when I save, sometimes it's when I use a keyboard shortcut. I get the same crash report every time:

    I installed 12.3 and restarted my computer. This did not solve the problem.
    I've reinstalled Photoshop twice as well with no developments.
    Then, I found this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4289204
    My card (Radeon X 1300 / X 1550) is not listed in the "Tested video cards for Photoshop CS6" section.
    If I go to Edit->Preferences->Performance, and mouse-over the "Graphics Processor Settings" section, it says "Photoshop detected an error in your display driver. Update or reinstall the driver and check Use Graphics Processor to retry".
    Is there any way around this?

  • Text select tool not working properly

    When I use the text select tool, it selects columns, not words in a row, which is what I want. It used to work correctly. I am using Acrobat Pro, version 9.0.0.
    I tried adding the ALT key, with no good result.

    Is it with this specific document o any pdf you work on?
    If it was earlier working fine for you, try repairing Acrobat  by going to 'Help' menu > Repair Acrobat.
    Also make sure you have updated it to the latest patch.

  • KdeGraphics-Okular - How to change the color of Text Selection tool

    Hello All
    I'm trying to know how to change/fix the color of the Text Selection Tool (Ctrl + 4). Because when I highlight the text, it's only one color (Dark Blue) that make me could not read clear.
    ---- My OS Configuration
    OS : Arch
    DE: LXDE
    WM: OpenBox

    The highlight color is determined by the system-wide color scheme that you're using. There's no way to change it only for okular.

  • Skipping to the top of the document when text selection tool selected

    This may be difficult to explain. But often after I click in the toolbar to switch over to a specific Adobe document (in windows 7) that I previously opened and that is open to a page other than page 1 and with the text select tool has been selected, if I click into the text on the page (say page 4) and then scroll down with the mouse wheel to get to page five, the program will jump back to the beginning of page 1. (display is set at single page - fit page). I like Acrobat very much, but I find this to be extremely irritating and wasteful when trying to select text from and navigate a large document. Can you please tell me why this occurs?

    Mari,
    We're here to try to help you; we get some satisfaction out of helping folks to get along with their Apple Pages software. If you just take this one step at a time, I'm sure we can sort it out.
    Thanks for clearing up what your primary issue is. You had Fruhulda all confused with your complaint about printing. I sort of glossed over the printing issue because you seemed to be more focused on the formatting.
    Please re-read my first post - the part about the Format Bar being contextual - and let's go from there.

  • Photoshop Crashes after quick selection tool

    Did the 14.2 update today and since then i have been unable to use the quick selection tool, followed by quick mask. The PC Crashes.
    Photoshop CC has worked perfectly until now
    Please help, I am on a deadline for images for an online website, I so wish I had not updated
    Image below shows quick mask, the selection was the top right above the frogs eye, but look at the red mask, also Task manager shown(it says Photoshop not responding)
    This was the sequence of events if it helps
    The Pc was working from a clean reboot.
    I opened Photoshop
    Opened an image off the camera
    cropped to 1000px wide (72 dpi)
    Quick selection
    Quick mask
    This is the result (happened 5 times to date so going for a coffee in the hope someone has a solution soon!)
    Many thanks

    I have reproduced it myself on one occasion, though it did not lock Photoshop up for me.  It's been reported to Adobe.
    There may be some connection to the zoom level.  Out of curiosity, are you using Scrubby Zoom?
    It might be prudent to try configuring Photoshop to use either the "Normal" or "Basic" drawing mode instead of "Advanced", though it is of course a bit difficult to know right away whether the problem has been worked-around.
    -Noel
    P.S., you said "The PC crashes"...  Are you speaking of something beyond the Photoshop application locking up as you have shown above?  An application locking up isn't the same as a system crash.

  • Cs5 crashing whilst using selection tool - pls help

    hi
    does anyone who how to fix this problem when using the selection tool? Photoshop seems to crash each time i use the selection tool, even if the thing im selecting is fairly small, i have tried deleteing the ps preferences file, turned off open gl and turned off export to clipboard...
    is there anything else i should be doing as this is VERY annoying and keeps losing my work! Especially on an imac as it crashes the whole computer and i have to power off and on again..
    Any help would be very much appreciated...
    cheers

    You must have some system related problem there causing that. On mac Photoshop never crashes the Operating System on its own.
    • First of all do a system update, make sure that you have updated your Operating system to its most recent version - Software Update.
    • if you have already done the above - then run Onyx
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
    everything apart from 'rebuild databases' in the automation menu
    • After you have done this you may need to trash Photoshops Preferences, to start Photoshop with a clean slate.
    General advice with macs is that although these days they are very reliable, its still best to do these maintenance tasks every once in a while. For tip top speed of operation as much as anything else. Unfortunately people get a little lax on these tasks, now things are so generally reliable.

    Use the select tool which is the arrow as I show in this movie. You can copy and paste into another document.
    Now if you want to edit text that another subject altogether.

  • Text selection tool is completely missing

    Hallo,
    I newly bought Adobe Acrobat XI. It's running on Windows 7. Unfortunately the text and graphic selection tool (the small arrow) is missing in the toolbar. It's not possible to select it to the toolbar - it doesn't appear anywhere. We installed Adobe on another PC (Win 7 as well) and the symbol appeared next to the free-hand tool.
    Since the selection tool is quite important for me I'd be glad if somebody coul help me.

    Are you talking about the Select Object tool, which is a small black left pointing arrow, or the Edit Text & Images tool, which looks like a pencil drawing on a piece of paper, or something else?

  • InDesign CS6... Selection tool won't work. HELP!

    Just installed InDesign CS6 and the Selection tool will not re-activate after another tool is checked.  Has anyone experienced this and found the problem?

    Yes, I know that you need to click on the Selection tool to activate it.  That's the problem. Nothing happens when I click on it or hit ESC.  When the program launches, the Selection tool is highlighted, but as soon as I select another tool, like "Type tool" or "Rectangle tool", when I click on Selection or Direct Selection tool, it will not activate.  This means I cannot do anything.  The Application Bar actions do not work because I cannot select them.  I uninstalled the product and reinstalled it and the issue is the same.    Could there be some Preference that is causing a problem?

  • Indesign Crashes when text selected

    I see several others are having issues with InDesign CC crashing. Just downloaded it (OS 10.8.4, plenty of ram, etc.) and it crashes whenever the text tools is selected.
    Unfortunately, I uninstalled the previous InDesign version, and now can't even see that as an option on Adobe. Would like to download the previous version again so I can keep working while this problem sorts itself out.

    You can download CS6. Just log into your Creative Cloud account and go to https://creative.adobe.com/products/indesign Scroll down a little bit, and under the picture, under "In this version" you can change the version you want to download.

  • Using text select tool in Preview--pasting into Word

    Hi, since the recent updates made Acrobat Pro 7 unusable (installer crashes, Acrobat crashes upon displaying title bars . . . I've posted on this elsewhere), I have been using Preview. I noticed that when I select and copy a piece of text in Preview and then paste this selection into a Word document the selection is unreadable. Is there any way to make the image readable?

    Liz,
    I have the same problem. Acrobat Reader 7 works well in my computer... I do not know if you can copy/paste into Word. However, I am going to reintall the System X and not do the recent updates (QT7, wireless keyboard and Security from last Friday)
