CS6 photoshop type tool maximally buggy

Greetings all,
I have a new system - Mini, with wacom Intuos3 (old wacom set up) - with up to date Font Suitcase (fusion? can't recall the exact name - i'm at home now!)
I have upgraded from CS3 to CS6, apparently a no-no. BECAUSE: when I open a CS3 file and work on it in CS6, save it, and then reopen it again later, the type layers are inoperable. Clicking in the type area to edit changes the type to something that was on the former CS3 file. For example, if I typed "BOY" in Univers in CS3, and in CS6, selected and retyped it as BOYHOOD in Times, clicking in the text area of BOYHOOD mysteriously brings back the old "BOY" type in Univers. If I unclick, sometimes it reverts to BOY and won't budge. Sometimes it will stay as BOYHOOD.
If I try to move text from one doc to another, it comes in as different words and style and size in the other doc. It's utterly impossible.
I have the updated Photshop in the last 10 days.
Elsewhere I've read that Wacom may be the issue. I updated that today too. No change.
Any clues to help me with this madness?
With thanks in advance,
Jenny

chris,
A few questions:
- I gather cs6 has been out for nearly a year. Isn't there a way you can notify new customers about this bug? You had my emai address etc It's complicated to even order this product on your website - you make it plenty hard. There was ample opportunity for Adobe to notify me. I've spent hours and hours on this issue, and I'm incensed by Adobe's carelessness. Customer service (three calls) wasn't even truthful with me. Or are they not in the loop as well?
- Conroy has given me the barebones of the problem above, but I would like to get the full description from Adobe. Please give me that full statement, or provide a link where I can read about it. Obviously, thousands of people have been complaining and have been effected.
- I wll be glad to send you the file that has 'rasterized' type. When I select the area of type to be moved (w/ the marquee selection tool) and then try to place on a separate layer with command J, it's buggy to the max. My email is J at JenniferClark dot com. Please provide w/ your email so that you can see this instance. [personal info removed by admin ]
- Do you agree that CS3 to CS6 transition is problematic in and of itself? Where can I see a list of all issues that might stem from this transition?
- What other bugs should I be aware of at this point?
Thank you in advance for your time.

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...

Photoshop Type tool

when I use this tool, it will not let me select the color and when I accept it by hitting enter or check key it flashes and it not readable or what i wanted it to be.

You're welcome. Here are the modes, if you hold the mouse button down on the type tool:

Bridge CS6 Photoshop Batch tool to open Photoshop CC

I have both CS6 and CC installed
I'm having the issue in Bridge CS6 that when I want to do a batch function through Tool > Photoshop > Batch this opens Photoshop CS6 and not Photoshop CC which i'd prefer it open. Is there any way to set this.
The question of me will be why I don't use Bridge CC. Unfortunately I am locked into having to use InDesign CS6 for my work and use a shortcut to reveal images in Bridge (which will only reveal on Bridge CS6), hence why I'm then forced to use Bridge 6 over Bridge CC....
So I suppose if I worked out the indesign issue i twould be ok, but I have a feeling i'll have more luck with a solution for Bridge opening a version of photoshop than solving the indesign issue.
Thanks.

Okay... but I'm using Bridge CC and when I use Tools> Photoshop > Batch it opens the files in Photoshop CS6.
How do I get Bridge CC to open images in Photoshop CC?
(Both versions of Photoshop are loaded on my computer.)

Why is the type tool so buggy in Muse?

Trying to type or copy/paste is a chore. The program drags, the rainbow wheel spins, I go make coffee and maybe a single word is rendered. Makes no sense.

Try posting in the Muse forums and mention your operating system

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 cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point

photoshop cs6 error "could not use the type tool because the target channel is hidden. happens when im typing in photoshop, go to another layer and then come back. can't alter text at that point. i really need to get thsi figured out. thank you.

You may have answered my question. I AM using the 64bit version of Illustrator CS6. I had no idea there were bugs in it that affected paths copied and pasted from Illustrator to Photoshop.
A bit more about what I'm trying to accomplish... I'm trying to follow Deke's tutorial (http://www.deke.com/content/dekes-techniques-018-creating-a-3d-pie-chart) which is already difficult since so much has changed between CS5.5 and 6, but then on top of that, I keep getting errors!
So I created the pie chart exactly as he shows and copied and pasted into Photoshop exactly as he does. Before submitting this post, though, I tried drawing just two very simple triangle shapes, copying them both and pasting them into Photoshop as a shape layer. The shapes weren't overlapping, but they were a part of the same shape layer just like the pie chart tutorial.
Thanks for your help. If there is anything else I should try before just giving up because of the 64bit bugs, please let me know.

Photoshop CS6 type tool issue - Disappearing Type

I recently installed CS6 and ever since then I have been having issues with type disappearing. When I choose the type tool and begin typing, everything is fine until I try to modify the type in any way, if I change point size, add a color overlay or change paragraph orientation my type disappears! If I press Command Z (undo) the type reappears minus my edits. If I try to edit type again, it's gone again. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas how to fix it?

i need to test and see if up and down work.
but these folks seem to have the same issue:

Photoshop CS6 Type tool kills arrow keys

When using the standard type tool, periodically, the keyboard arrow keys will not work. You can manually change your selection point, but not by using the left of right arrow.

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?

Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

PS CS6 Type tool is backwards

Photoshop CS6 (reinstalled fresh today from Creative cloud)

Macbook Pro
Fontcase 2.1.1
Hi I am having trouble with the type tool. it is putting all punctuation at the start of the sentance.
Example i want to type
This is doing my head in!
What i get is:
!This is doing my head in (exclamation mark at the start of the sentance)
So far I have:
Reinstalled photoshop
Changed the language prefs from East Asian and Middle Eastern (both give the same result)
Trashed all my prefs
Checked other apps (all fine)
Used different typefaces (all act the same)
I found this screenshot on a forum that looks perfect:
Howerver my paragraph panel does not have that option.
I have read this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1056427
And there is nothing there to help.
Anyone help me out with this?
Thanks
Neil

You can solve this, doing as follow bellow:
Enter Type menu
-Language Options
-Click middle eastern feature
Then, the panel above will be activated and you can change to fix this issue when writing.
It's work for me. But its realy annoying.... Adobe should do something about, since it was working and then..... start to do this issue when typing.
