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.

CS3 Photoshop crashing when trying to use type

not sure what it is...but my cs3 photoshop is crashing almost every time i use it. it seems to predominantly happen when i am creating or editing type. i have crash reports and have submitted some, but no resolution - esp since i am not able to decipher what the report is telling me. anyone out there with similar problems?
i'd like to upgrade, but if i am unable to use it - seems silly to spend the $.
thanks for any help or advice!

Laura, could please send me your crash logs from this crash so that we can take a closer look?

IPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?

iPhoto 9.4.3 crashes when trying to sync photos from IPAD running 8.1. Any ideas on why ?
iPhoto runs and keeps trying to read the iPad photos cycling thru a lot of times eventually crashing.

There may be a corrupted video or image file on your iPad.
Try to download from the iPad using Image Capture instead and save the photos to a folder. If that succeeds, you can check the files for corruption before importing them to iPhoto.

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing when I select Horizontal Type Tool, Rectangular Marquee Tool and Crop T

and probably more, but when you consider how little functionality the loss of those three buttons give me, you can understand how little use I am getting out of CS6 so far.
It makes no difference whether I use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium on a relatively new Toshiba Satellite C660-1LD with 2.53 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 380 with 3892 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory* with onboard Intel(R) HD Graphics.
(Processor & Memory details from Belarc Advisor)
I sometimes get a message on load saying that Photoshop cannot find my 3D settings (although my Graphics card has 3D capability), but as I'm not using Photoshop's 3D editing tools, this is no issue to me at present.
Any other information I can give you, I will. As you can imagine, this is hugely frustrating, and making Photoshop unusable.

It's not picking up my card. heres the data...
thanks

Photoshop crashes when trying to start program

Photoshop crashes when trying to start program
Using Powerbook G-4
10.4.11
15 GB available
When trying to open Photoshop it crashes when
the display window is trying to open and the text:
BUILDING MARK TWAIN
is showing. Then it crashes never making it to
the actual program.
I've tried uninstalling the program and installing
the program several times with no luck.
Thank you for any advice or tech support,

This is actually Photoshop Elements forum. try posting it on Photoshop forum.
In case you have some scanner/printer etc installed in the machine it might be causing issue. Try launching with none of the devices attached and anti virus disabled.

Keynote crashes when trying to use the move function

Hi there.
I am running latest version of OSX and Keynote, but when I try to create a move-animation with a picture/an object, Keynote crashes and shuts down. Two of my collegue have the same problem. Any solution out there?
Best reg.

By the way, it also crashes when trying to use the Direct Alpha function on an image.
Hmmmm...?

I have an iPod 2nd gen. that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

I have an iPod 2nd gen that keeps having an error code 9 when trying to restore. Any ideas on how to fix?

Error 9
This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

HT2105 Continually get a message saying "We are experiencing technical difficulties, please try later" when trying to set up allowances. Not very helpful. Any ideas. I am running the latest itunes with Windows 7 Professional.

Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
"I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

When I try to use the internal hard drive as a scratch disk I get this error "unable to set scratch disk- the selected directory is on write protect or non-writable media. Any ideas on how to fix this. It only happens in fcp.

By internal, I assume you're referring to your systems (boot) drive. Is it, by chance, a partitioned dive?
Also…although many people successfully use their systems drives as scratch disks, over time you'll have better results using a dedicated drive for your media.
Good luck.

If the above doesn’t do the trick entirely, then use the instructions in the following as it applies to the version of Windows you are using:
HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP
HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
You may be required to boot into safe mode to complete the folder deletion process.

I am using Aperture V3 and have a caption included at the foot of each photo. I want this caption included when I export the photo to another device (eg iPad). Any ideas on how to do this would be appreciated.

The "caption" is metadata. Metadata is included in most image-format files. How it is displayed is determined by the program you use to show the picture on the computer screen. You currently have Aperture set to "over-lay" the caption at the bottom of the Image.
What program are you using on your other devices to show the files?
