Just a small square when trying to create text

I can insert text without a problem on any pictures saved to my laptop yesterday, or earlier.
If I try to insert text on any pictures saved to it today, I just get the small square. Anything typed does not appear on the image, but appears in the layer title.
Any suggestions about what has gone wrong will be appreciated.

I've found and solved the problem. The photos I was working on yesterday were all cropped. This had been done with the Resolution box empty (default) I put 72dpi in the box and then resized the huge image and found I could add text.
Problem is I don't understand the whole concept of cropping with and without resampling. In fact, as I'm just trying out Photoshop, after years of using the very user friendly PhotoImpact, there isn't much I do understand and I don't find the Help section very helpful.
Does anyone know of an extremely basic "Idiots Guide to PS"?

    Question
    When trying to create a desktop icon, it does not go to the URL.....instead I get 'script' and not a website......the script has http//etc but I am not directed to the website......I previously had IE 8 (on Vista).....is that the problem?I do not have any installed plugins....at least none that I know of.....remember I am a new user......Basically, the desktop icon is not going directly to the Mozilla FF to get me to the web site I need to go to.....FF works when I use the Mozilla FF icon.....just not the icons I create.....THANKS!!! I have also tried reinstalling FF and get the same results.....HELP!!!

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions. You can try setting each zone in the Windows Control Panel or IE > '''Internet Options''' > '''Security''' tab to '''Default Level'''.

  • Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3

    Error message in Adobe Pdf in printer device panel when trying to create a pdf document.  I have CS3 Web Premium with Acrobat Professional 8.  I use it fine on my old computer with Windows XP.  I recently got a new laptop with Windows 7.  I installed all my Adobe programs, and I think they are working.  When I look at Adobe PDF in the device section of the Control Panel it looks okay.  But when I try to print a Word, Photoshop, or HTML page in PDF, nothing happens.  I have tried printing both as File>print and using the PDF tab on the top menu bar.  I look at the device in the control panel and it has the yellow error warning symbol and suggests trying to troubleshoot.  I look at the document list and it says status "error".  When I try troubleshooting Windows suggests doing some Home Sharing and also suggests canceling the document I'm trying to print.  I tried re-installing just Acrobat 8 from CS3 (and have to use Photoshop CS4 disk for shared documents I guess).  I ran into a can't locate adobepdf_dll file, so did a web search on this issue and found a suggestion that I find and use the adobepdf_dll_64 file and may have to (I did have to) remove the "_64" for it to work.  I think I successfully reinstalled using that dll file- no errors came up anyway.  But still when I try printing/converting a photoshop, webpage, or word document into pdf, the pdf device in control panel still gives the error status on the document and gives the same troubleshooting advice.  Help?

    I just compared the properties between the two computers.  On the old computer it has the port as "My Documents/*.pdf".  On my new computer it lists the port as "LPT1".  I tried changing the port to "Print as File", but when I try printing a photoshop picture as pdf, I get a "Access Denied".  I then tried to create a new port on the device control panel.  I tried to create a local port "My Documents/*.pdf" port but was denied.  I ten tried to create a new port type and control panel asked for an INF file.  I wonder if this is where my problem lies.  Thoughts?

  • Error when trying to create new element in workflow container

    hi experts,
    I hit an error 'cusomer-own workflow are not allowed to be configure" when trying to create a new element in the container.
    have anybody come across this problem and how to overcome it
    TQ

    Aren't customer task not used anymore?
    Or am I mixing things up here.
    Well the problem isn't a problem it is SAP standard behaviour you simply can't configure customer tasks (type T in PFTC)
    You can only configure Standard Tasks (TS) or workflow templates (WS)
    Kind regards, Rob Dielemans
    Edited by: Rob Dielemans on May 29, 2009 12:51 PM
    Just had a look at the SAP help and indeed types T aren't allowed anymore SAP gives the solution to copy the customer task, this will automatically change it to a standard task

  • Solution to stop error when trying to create a portfolio

    Hi all,
    I finally found a way to make a portfolio in acrobat pro 9. The problems I was having were explained in the thread titled "Acrobat pro 9 has a stop error when trying to create a portfoloi"
    It seems ther is another way to do this, by selecting 'combine' and then 'merge files into a single pdf' rather than 'assemble pdf portfolio'.
    The merge option also gives the choice of making a pdf package and does not result in a stop error with authplay.dll.
    So much for Adobe support who conuld not tell me this or respond to support requests.
    All I have to do now is to remember to not click on 'assemble pdf portfolio' when I want to assemble a pdf portfolio but "merge files into a single pdf" when I want to assemble a pdf portfolio.
    I would still like to hear from Adobe why acrobat pro 9 has a stop error with authplay.dll.
    I feel a lot happier now.

    I read through the pdf wth your emails to/from customer support. I'll have to defer to someone else because it seems you have tried what I would suggest.
    If someone else does not respond with a better plan and you are willing to spend a bit more time before writing off Acrobat 9, I would try the process below one last time. (If you are using a CS suite, while authplay.dll is found in each of the directories, it does not appear that the issue extends to the other programs.)
    1. Using Add/Remove Programs, uninstall all Adobe Acrobat and Reader software and uninstall the Adobe Flash Player Active X and Adobe Flash Player Plugin. If you have it, uninstall Adobe Air.
    2. In C:\Documents and Settings\(your profile name)\Application Data\Adobe, delete the Acrobat and Adobe PDF folders if they still exist.
    3. Reinstall only Acrobat 9.
    4. From Acrobat, run the updater Help > Check for Updates and install all updates.
    5. Verify Adobe Acrobat is now version 9.2: Help > About Adobe Acrobat Pro  (If for any reason it is not 9.2, use the update on http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    6. Test

    While searching for a solution, I just saw your post over at acrobatusers.com (http://www.acrobatusers.com/forums/aucbb/viewtopic.php?id=15765). Looks like my advice was largely a duplicate, although your event log indicates Acrobat did not update properly.

  • Error "The formula cannot refer to another column..." when trying to create a new subsite

    Hi All,
    I've been running into this error message when trying to create a new subsite
    Sorry, something went wrong
    The formula cannot refer to another column.  Check the formula for spelling mistakes or update the formula to reference only this column.
    Note everything was working fine before, this just started happening recently...
    At first I thought it was because of my template, but as I have tried, I can't even create subsite using the templates provided by Sharepoint...
    has anybody encountered similar problems recently?
    Any help is apprieciated!
    Fan Yang

    Hi Fan,
    If you create asubsite using the SharePoint default template, what error did you meet? Was it same with the error?
    Which site template did you use for the parent site?
    Please check whether you can create subsite at other site collection.
    In addition, please trace the exact error by using Correlation ID.
    Here are two great blogs for you to take a look at:

  • Build failed when trying to create a custom Android viewer

    I am experiencing the same issue, I get the : 'build failed. try again later' without any further information, when trying to create a custom viewer for android. Is this caused by server overloads or are there some things to check?
    Any help is appreciated! Thank you

    hey Bob,
    I did not before as I was assigned a mac that had everything running (untill now ), but to be sure I followed the steps just now using the keytool in terminal but looks like this is not making any differance.
    also, I can see the previous apps listed showing the download apk option, I have not been prompted for a certificate yet, where in iOS apps you are asked for it on save before the build starts and when you download the zip again if I'm not mistaking.
    Right now I always get the build faild error, try again later when I save the last step in the viewer creation process.

    I just recieved this message when trying to email a itunes gift certificate, "This purchase would exceed the maximum Gift Certificate purchase amount for this Apple ID".Why I am limited to gift certificate and not other purchases.?

    Chris CA,  62,910 points.  Dang...that's a lot of support.  Before I start, let me say Thank You!  You need to answer a lot of people's questions to achieve that.
    1)  You slightly misunderstood my letter through no fault of your own.  It was a generic compilation of information submitted by members of this discussion turned into a letter by me for use on the Apple Feedback site.  I myself did not receive an e-mail.  I actually was prevented from purchasing any more iTunes gift cards at a certain point and was given a cryptic response from the iTunes store that my request could not be processed.  It was only after investigation on my part that I found out the reason was the $100 max per 30 day rule.  I'd try to find where in the Apple's support site I did find that information...but, well, you are just going to have to trust me.  However, others in this discussion stated they received the information in an e-mail.  I used that fact in my letter as it seemed to create a less "cumbersome" feedback submission.
    2)  "Why look for iOS apps?"  That's a good very good question!  I miswrote.  I should have said "OS X apps."  That is where iTunes is located on the Feedback Site.  Good catch.  As you know (62,910 points is a lot of "knowing"), when you submit feedback you must click on the item of which you are going to write.  I must be so ramped up for the impending release of the new iPhone that I had iOS on the brain.  My bad. :-)
    3)  In all the time this discussion has been alive (over a year), and in all my googling, I never read about an option to contact iTunes support and ask them to remove this limit from my account.  It is too bad you didn't come to this discussion when it started in May of 2011 to offer that piece of advice!  Surprisingly, that information wasn't anywhere on the Apple site where I read about the $100/30 day limit.  Maybe it is there now.  But, it sure wasn't there when I read it.  It would have been very helpful.
    4)  You say "(which they can do and often have done for many people here)."  I am curious, what do you mean by "here."  Not "here" as in "here in THIS discussion forum."  Right?  I don't see anyone in this discussion aware of that information and posting it for others to read.  By "here" I assume you mean the ENTIRE Apple Support Community.  Unfortunately, until you arrived on the scene, none of those from that gigantic "here" came across THIS discussion to share their good fortune and knowledge about removing the $100 limit on iTunes gift card purchases per 30 days.
    Well, I think that wraps it up for another day.  I am off to iTunes support to get this limit removed from my account.
    Adios amigos!

  • "Recovery partition not found" when trying to creat recovery discs.

    I received the following error message when trying to create recovery discs for the first time "recovery partition not found"  HP G61 401SA Notebook and it is a couple of years old and has windows 7 as th OS.
    I specifically purchased DVD-R discs for the disc creation, which was advised from HP site was the only disc suitable.
    Am I doing something incorrect or is there an issue?
    Is this why I am unable to also create a back up - are the two things related?

    One more thing, could you advise on how much space the recovery might be approximately - I will need to make sure a USB has enough memory available. Take another look at the disk management window. The partition sizes are visible in the descriptions. My HP loaner has a large recovery partition at >20GB. That mean I had to use a 32GB usb flash drive Most others are smaller and a 16GB usb flash drive will suffice.

  • NI-VISA 5.1.2 exits/closes right after launching it on a Linux CentOS 6.2 PC, also crashes LabVIEW when trying to create VISA ref constant for VISA Open.

    After installing LaBVIEW 2011 and NI-VISA 5.1.2 on a CentOS 6.2 PC, I had noticed a problem with trying to use the VISA vi's in LabVIEW, basically it's not working for me, LabVIEW crashed when trying to create a control or constant for the VISA Open vi.  Tried to launch the VISA tools, they all start and then close abruptly.  NI I/O Trace only shows one line.
    I did read though many threads and decided to collect the NI system.log, which is attached. (system.log.gz).  I did notice a strange message in here about nivisaserver:

    Hi MountainMan,
    Thanks for attaching the system report log -- I believe I have a solution for you :-) Let's look at a few of the lines:
    890: /proc/meminfo:
    891: MemTotal: 3894712 kB
    1726: /proc/iomem:
    1784: 100000000-12dffffff : System RAM
    1807: /bin/dmesg:
    1820: BIOS-provided physical RAM map: 2576: [nipal] More than 4GB of addressable memory detected.
    1838: BIOS-e820: 0000000100000000 - 000000012e000000 (usable)
    2576: [nipal] More than 4GB of addressable memory detected.
    2577: [nipal] This configuration is not supported. Check the release notes for more information.
    Starting at the bottom at lines 2576..2577, dmesg had more than just the NI-VISA server signing notification. At system boot, the NI kernel modules refused to load because they detected more than 4 GB of addressable memory. But, if you look towards the top at lines 890..891, meminfo says you have less than 4 GB of system memory, which makes it seem like the NI modules don't know what they're talking about. However, if you look at the report from iomem a little further down on lines 1726..1784, system RAM has been re-mapped above the 4 GB boundary. While your system doesn't have more than 4 GB of RAM, some of its memory has addresses above 4 GB, which the NI modules cannot use and so they refuse to load. How did that happen? Your system BIOS provided a physical RAM map with usable addresses above the threshold (line 1838).
    The fix here is simple -- you need to tell the kernel to reserve addresses above 4 GB [1] so that it won't remap the RAM to higher memory. Once all of the RAM has addresses below the 4 GB threshold, the modules should load and VISA/LabVIEW/et al should stop misbehaving.
    It seems to me that LabVIEW is not handling this situation very gracefully, and maybe you can work with Kira to file a bug report.
