Photoshop CS6 type on a path and workpaths

Has any body else noticed that if you create a work path, then create a shape layer (say a rectangle) and type some text on the rectangle (text on a path)
that if you commit the type and switch to the Path Selection Tool to edit the path text (position of the starting or end points) photoshop cs6 replaces your previous workpath with
a workpath of the shape layer you typed on?
Is photoshop cs6 supposed to work that way?
Windows 8 x64 and photoshop 13.01
new document a create a workpath
create a rectangle shape layer and type on the rectangle shape layer path
edit the type end or start points with the Path Selection Tool
The orginal workpath has been replaced by the rectangle shape layer path

Interesting find. Same on Mac.
In CS5.1, an existing Work Path is unaffected by an edit made to the Path of a Type layer.
Looks like a bug in CS6.

Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate the application

HELP ME!!!! My trial Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate and open the application on my mac. I am just going around in circles from file to file and back to the starting "intall" icon

I am on the Adobe Download Assistant. It was stuck at "less than a minute" for an hour and a half, showing that the installation was basically done, since the installation bar was full. But it was stuck. Now it has stopped all together, and is restarting the download from scratch.
Apparently it does not save the download, or only saves a small portion.
c:\adobe/CS6MasterCollection/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.adadownload
It is at 85.6 MB, even though a short time ago it was close to 99.9% done with the 6,352 MB download.
My internet connection is fine, all is working, and I am able to browse, etc.
I have been careful to keep activity minimal on the computer, so as to avoid conflicts.
The conflicts are with the Adobe Download Assistant.
I amabout ready to just give up, and look for alternatives.
Please help.

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

Getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and have text problems

Hi, I'm getting files from a business that uses Photoshop CS6. I use CS3 and when I edit the text, the text moves to a different location even off screen.
Anyone know how to fix this?
It makes it hard to copy the text and imposible to change the color or make corrections.
This just started when they went to Photoshop CS6.
Thanks,
Jeffery

Ask the folks supplying you with files whether they've updated to the latest version... There were problems with Photoshop CS6 13.0.0. saving text layers in jumbled-up fashion.

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

I installed photoshop cs6 in my new computer and when it asks me for my serial number I write it but it wont accept it

There are two steps when entering a serial number:
When you enter it in the 24-digit field, you should see a green checkmark. If you see a red x, you may have mis-typed the number, as Ben pointed out, it could be for a suite instead of a standalone product.
If it takes the number and installs, then activation is the next step. If it fails to activate, you may have exceeded your activations or the number might have been retired.
In that case, contact Customer Care with proof of purchase.

I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe website and I didn't get a serial number.

I just downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Adobe website and I didn't get a serial number. Where can I get one? Must I buy a product that was free to download?

Yes, to get a serial number requires that you purchase the software. Downloads are almost always free but to have continuous use of a product requires buying a license for it.

I purchased a bundle with Wacom Intous5 that included Adobe Photoshop CS6 Suite 2 years ago and my Serial number is now invalid, Can anyone tell me why?

Can I install my Cloud Photoshop CS6 on both my MacBookpro AND my Windows7 desktop computers?

Can I install my Cloud Photoshop CS6 on both my MacBookpro AND my Windows7 desktop computers? I know on CS5 they would not allow the crossing of platforms, for whatever reason. Has this been changed?

Can I use the software I download from Creative Cloud on multiple computers?
Yes, you can use Creative Cloud desktop applications on two computers at once, regardless of operating system, for the individual associated with the Creative Cloud membership. See theproduct license agreements page for more information.

Am I permitted to download my Photoshop CS6 to both my laptop and desktop pc?

You can register up to two machines. If you ever find you want to deactivate on a machine and transfer the license, you can do this by clicking Help > Deactivate...

Possible bug in Photoshop CS6 with app.activeDocument.path.

JavaScript running in Photoshop CS6 under OS X 10.7.5 returns the wrong result for app.activeDocument.path when the file is located on the boot drive. The result is undefined and an error message incorrectly states that the document has not been saved yet. If the file is located on a remote volume, the correct path is returned.
To reproduce this problem, create a new file in Photoshop CS6 on a Mac. Save the file to the desktop. With the file still open, run the following script in ExtendScript Toolkit.
// start script
var thePath = app.activeDocument.path;
alert(thePath);
// end script
Running the same script with a file located on a server volume open in Photoshop correctly returns "/path/to/file.psd" instead of undefined and no error occurs.
This appears to be a bug in Photoshop CS6's JavaScript implementation. This problem did not exist in Photoshop CS3.
A similar issue prevents Photoshop CS6 from saving files to the boot drive using activeDocument.saveAs.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, have you discovered an alternate method to determine the file path or save a file on the boot drive?

Don't know if this will help much but at least you can use it to check a document's filepath without throwing an error. And maybe tell if the problem is with the Photoshop DOM.
function hasFilePath(){// returns true/false
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    return executeActionGet(ref).hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'));
function getFilePath(){// returns path as a string if exists, undefined if not
    var ref = new ActionReference();
    ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") );
    var desc = executeActionGet(ref);
    if(desc.hasKey(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference'))) return decodeURI(desc.getPath(stringIDToTypeID('fileReference')));

Photoshop CS6 memory leak when idle and nothing open

Photoshop CS6 runs away with memory after being used and then going idle. If I open up PS and leave it, it will be ok but as soon as I open any file it will go up in memory usage (which is normal) but when I close all files and hide PS the memory will stay high never goes back down. When I close PS and re-open (no files open) again it idles at 300Mb memory but when I open a file then close it and then hide/idle PS it raises and stays around 1.25-1.5 GB if not more.
I have tried to Purge All, and even hide all menus to no avail. I have even tried to close Suitcase (eleminiate any font issues) and still same problem. I am running PS bone stock, no extra plug-ins.
Any ideas on why it would be doing this would be greatly appreciated!
My Computer:
Photoshop 13.0.1
MacBookPro
OS 10.6.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Mem: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
HD: 300GB (30GB Free)

Photoshop is not supposed to free memory when you close documents -- that's normal, because the memory gets reused.
Yes, opening a file makes the memory usage go up - because space is needed for the document and it's window.
None of what you said describes a leak, and sounds like perfectly normal behavior.
