How do I stop text layer from turning black while editing text?

Photoshop CC up to date
5 years PS experience
Restart of file and PS didn't resolve the issue
Creating Smart Object didn't resolve issue
When attempting to add simple text on an individual layer, the layer is turning black. This prevents me from seeing the text I'm editing. When I move to another layer the text displays correctly. When I go to edit the text by clicking the image the layer goes black again. It is like editing text in the dark, turning the light on to see the changes, turning the light off to make the changes, repeat.
Has anyone else seen this?
Are there any suggested resolutions?

Update your graphics driver or turn off OpenGL in the prefs. Naturally, also check for potentiall harmful "bad" fonts and reset your text palettes.

  • How do I STOP  the headphones from turning on iPod app?

    If you press the mic jack on the iPhone headphones, it starts the iPod app playing. Nice, if you want to listen to music. Irritating, if it goes off in your pocket.
    How do I STOP the mic from turning on the iPod app?

    Having this problem too with the Klipsch Image S4i earbuds ... yeah, apparently they DO duplicate the Apple headphone control functions exactly.
    Short of unplugging the earbuds every time you store your iPhone in your pocket or whatever, is there a software fix or preference option to help with this?

    Settings > General > Restrictions
    Turn them on, go down and tap Location Services and restrict the ability to turn it off.
    Or tell her if she turns it off again you will take the phone away and get her simple flip phone.

  • Photo turns black while editing...

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from iPhoto 09 to iPhoto 11. All the latest software updates have been applied. Mostly, there's been no problems, except for one really annoying one.
    When editing a photo, most of the time it works fine. But often times, especially when doing some heavy editing with the various exposure, saturation, sharpness and other sliders, the photo will just turn black...nothing. If I exit from edit mode, the photo is there just fine and the edits have even been applied. I go back to edit mode, it works fine for a couple of minutes and then, again, black. I tried this with many different photos, same results. This never happened before with iPhoto for me. I even tried it with photos that were similarly edited with iPhoto 09 (made a duplicate of the original and started working) and am getting the same problem.
    I tried rebuilding the library (checking every box in the rebuilding dialogue box). No dice.
    I tried trashing the com.apple.iPhoto folder in the caches folder of user/library. No dice.
    I tired trashing the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file in the Preferences folder in user/library. No dice.
    I even tried creating a new library and importing new photos in there and after some minutes of use, same problem. Again, no dice.
    My machine is a white MacBook, 2.0 GHz C2D with 4 gigs of RAM running 10.6.5 and all the latest software updates (including iPhoto 9.1.1).
    Does anyone know what gives? Is this a bug others are encountering? Thanks.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. *Permissions in the Library* : Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. *Minor Database corruption*: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. *A Damaged Photo*: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. *A corrupted iPhoto Cache*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. *A corrupted preference file*: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *If none of these help*:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • How do I stop my iphone from turning on photo stream AFTER I turned it off?

    I have this problem that happens constantly and I cannot figure out a premenant solution for it. I have the Iphone 4. Since the IOS 7 upgrade, the photo stream option will not stay turned off. It seems to turn it on by itself. It will be on after a reboot or for no reason. I AM TIRED OF having going to settings to turn it off. I am thinking prehaps taking a picture triggers it to turn the photo stream on?

    I'm having the same problem and I need help because i do not want pictures to go to all my devices! Have yu learned how to stop this?

  • How do I stop my iPod from turning itself on and off??

    My button on my IPod has been broken for a while now but that's fine. But just recently my iPod started turning itself on and off as if I'm pressing the lock button. This problem is VERY annoying. If anyone knows how to fix this PLEASE help.

    Do you have a case on it that covers the power button?
    If not, the power button stuck down.

  • How can I stop my iPhone4 from turning off and on automatically?

    Hi,
       I would highly appreciate it if someone could take a moment and help me regarding my iPhone4 issues. I had my iPhone resting on my desk unplugged for quite some time, and when I decided to make a call, the phone was really hot I could not hold it against my face, the phone turned off and the call was lost. I look at the screen and it was turning off and on automatically, it's been doing so for 3hrs and I don't know what to do. I've already tried to turn it off and it won't even turn off. I'm contemplating whether to go to an AT&T store for advice or call the apple store. It's Friday 08/23/2013 and this hasn't happened to me before, will someone please help? Thanks in advance.

  • How do I stop my panels from being visible while in InDesign CS5's presentation mode?

    Hey there, I have a quick question... So when I'm not working with two monitors I sporadically have this problem where when I enter InDesign CS5's (on a Mac) presentation mode (shift W) all of my panels (color, pages, swatches, pathfinder etc) are visible atop of the preview. Its fairly maddening because it encroaches on the actual preview of the document. I have had no luck getting it to stop doing this unless I just close my panels and reopen them all each time I exit presentation mode i.e. very inefficient. However, the weird part here is that it doesn't always do this which makes me fear that its a glitch or something... because there seems to be no correlation between this issue and InDesign settings, the file being worked on or anything else that may change moment to moment. Any input on the matter would be immensely appeciated! Thanks in advance!

    I've never seen this reported before, but it's the sort of wierdness that can often be fixed by trashing the prefs. See Replace Your Preferences

  • How do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    how do i stop my programs from automatically popping up when i turn on the computer?

    When you log out or shut down, there will be a checkbox that asks you if you want to reopen windows when you log in. Just uncheck this box. If that isn't it, you may have login items turned on. Go to System Preferences>Users and Groups and then under your name click the Login Itens tab. Make sure nothing is there.
    If you want to stop windows from restoring when you open applications (so for example when you open Safari it doesn't open the 50 tab page you just had open when you quit) go to SystemPreferences>General and then hit the checkbox that says Close windows when quitting an application.

    How can I stop the program from going through all of the text previously put in.  It is making the process very slow. 

    while True:
    and just indent everything else under it
    Ends when you press ^C.
    if you wish to have a way to break out of the loop, say, when you press enter at the VPC number without entering anything, add the following after your vpc input:
    if not vpc:
    break
    which will break out of the while loop and end your program.
