Photoshop text won't work

All of a sudden my ps text won't work, (was working fine) I keep getting the message, "Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized". Does anyone know how to fix this?
Using Adobe cs5 with Mt Lion
Thank you
Val

This might help you fix the error.

Works good for OSX if you go into Macintosh HD> Library> Application Support> Adobe and then just put "TypeSupport" in the trash.

Photoshop cs6 won't work because of creative cloud

Hi everyone,
I bought indesign on february 2nd, and now my old photoshop won't work. I had photoshop CS6. They will not help me in chat and I cannot figure it out. I know there is a way to go into my desktop applications and change some code thing because this has happened before, but clearly I am totally clueless. Any assistance helps. Thanks.

Check your CS6 version. Creative cloud may have updated your CS6 to subscription version CS6 version 13.1.2. Where the Perpetual versions of CS6 are Mac version 13.0./6 Windows version 13.0.1.3 there are some differences between these versions.

Installed Photoshop CS3 trial, now previous Photoshop 7 won't work

I've downloaded and installed PS CS3 trial and given it a go but decided to stick with version 7 as it's still doing everything I need.
So when the trial period on CS3 has expired I've uninstalled it but now Photoshop 7 won't run. I get this message a few seconds after I click on the PS icon . ..
"An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred due to a program error. Photoshop will now exit"
I've reinstalled PS7 several times to no avail.
Since I installed the CS3 trial I upgraded from Tiger to Leopard - maybe this is the cause!
Any idea's how I can get PS7 working again?
Cheers
steve

Photoshop 7 will not run under Leopard...

I have a G5 Power Mac with dual 1.8 processors. I recently upgraded the software fro 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to get an iPad 2. Now my Adobe Photoshop 7 won't work any longer. All the newer Phtoshop versions only work with Intell processors. Does anyone

..know of an older Photoshop version that will work with my processors and system 10.5.8?
Thanks,
Don

I believe I had this issue with PS7 when I first upgraded from OS 9 to OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
Couldn't get PS 7 to launch at all.
I ended up having to update all of my Adobe apps to the CS edition to be sure every Adobe app functioned without a hitch.
I am not sure where you'll find older versions of Adobe software, though.
You could try and contact Adobe direct to see if they have any older versions on disc left in stock or not.
Short or that I really do not know.
PS CS 4 was the last universal version that works with PPC Macs.
Pixelmator used to be available for 10.5 Leopard, but it's no longer available for PPC Macs, either.
http://www.pixelmator.com/
Could contact them to see if they have the older version still available on disc or as a download.
This is a pay app, also.
Another pay app that may work for you is Graphic Converter.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/
The other options are the ones already mentioned in the previous reply.
Other than Pixelmator, the other offerings are quite limited compared to PS.
Here's the link to Seashore.
http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.html
A free open source Unix replacement for PS is The Gimp

You need to install X11 in order to use this app.
If you installed 10.5, you'll need to check your Applications folder to see if X11 was installed by default.
If not you'll need to go back to your OS X 10.5 install discs and do a custom install and just install X11 from disc.
This will just add the additional program and extensions and will not erase your installation of OS X 10.5.

Photoshop cc won't work. Crashes almost immediately.

I have the student version of Creative Cloud. Adobe Illustrator works fine. After I bring a photo into Photoshop CC, as soon as I do anything to it , the program stops working and closes. I own Photoshop CS6, and have never had a problem like this.

It crashes.I am using windows 7. The message says :Adobe Photoshop CC has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.

My Photoshop CS6 won't work...

My CS6 won't open any images. I'm working on a Mac, Mountain Lion 10.8.4. When I double click the photo, Photoshop will open but then not do anything, and my mouse turns into the spinning beach ball of death (as I call it). I tried downloading the update but it would not work for me. I really don't want to unistall/reinstall. Is there anything else I can try?

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

After credit card update my Photoshop subscription won't work

I updated my credit card details after my card expired to reactivate my subscription to Photoshop CS6. This went through fine and I was given the message that my subscription had been reactivated. However when I try to launch Photoshop the Application Manager says I need to renew my subscription. When I go online to 'My Subscriptions' my Photoshop subscription is listed as being active.
I have spoken to several online representatives on the chat after being passed about several times over the period of an hour. The last person I spoke to said I need to wait 5-6 hours for it to become active. I have now waited for 8.5 hours and am struggling with what to do next as I really need Photoshop to be back up and running so I can get on with my work.
I did read something on another thread about having to wait 72 hours. I sincerly hope this is not the case.

Hi,
I have the exact same story from the expired credit card to being passed around online for 1.5h with the representatives to being told that I need to wait 24h! Can I ask - did you get your issue resolved and do you have any advice on how to activate the subsciption?
Many thanks.

3D Settings on Photoshop CS6 won't work

Recently I have been trying to use the 3D option on my Photoshop CS6 Extended, and I've looked everywhere and couldn't find a solution. I've been on the graphics processor settings and that's all greyed out,
Can someone PLEASE help me!
-Nathan
P.S: This is what I get in the Preferences>Performance :- (It's all greyed out!)

Nobody can tell you anything without proper system info or other technical details, but pretty obviously your system is simply not up to the task. You can try updating the graphics driver, of course, but that's about it.

HT4528 I keep getting an error when I try to update the software. My phone won't work. What is going on with it?

I received notice that my phone had a software update. When I tried to do it, it said there was an error. Now I can only connect to the Wifi at home or if a store has a guest account. I can't make calls or receive calls. My text won't work. I am so confused. How do I fix my phone??

Hello mjlamonea
If the update had an error, then check out the article below to restore your iPhone. It will walk you through putting your iPhone into recovery mode and then using iTunes on your computer to restore it. If you have a back up through iTunes or iCloud, then your can put that back up back on after you have completed the restore.
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

I have used Photoshop 5.5 for many years and it is all I need and more. I just bought a new HP Win 7 computer and tried loading my old CD. I won'f work because meant for 16-bit computers. Can I buy a 64-bit version of Photoshop 5.5?

Hi,
You actually tried to install photoshop 5.5 and got the message about it being 16 bit?
(usually it's only the installer that is 16 bit and the actual program is 32 bit)
Photoshop 5.5 should work on windows 7 x64 if you don't have more than 1 TB of free space on your hard drive.
Your sure it's photoshop 5.5 and not an earlier photoshop version.
You might try copying the folder that says photoshop off the cd onto your hard drive and then running the Setup.exe
Anyway, check how much free space your hard drive has and if it's more than 1 TB, then no use trying to use photoshop 5.5 because it won't work.
(photoshop versions before photoshop cs can't see free space on hard drives if it's more than 1 TB and would give a scratch disk full message if you try to run them)

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
http://www.adobe.com
Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

Check online with the web site of the maker of your video card for an updated driver (assuming you're running Windows).

Photoshop elements 4.0 won't work

Adobe photoshop 4.0 won't work. After installing a hp scanner, I upgraded a driver for it and had problems. So I did a system restore for oct 2009 and now photoshop won't work.I fully uninstalled all my adobe programs except active x then reinstalled photoshop elements. I have had a series of errors including "error reading configuration file" and "adobe help cannot start model effor subsystem 1" I searched this and found the updated help file and installed that. So once I open adobe, i can pull a picture into it then it won't work. Every button I press just gives a ding sound.

You mean to say you are able to run but when you try opening any image it crashes. Can you try resetting the preferences:
Click on the EDITOR icon -- the quickly hold down CTRL+SHIFT+ALT keys, this will generate a dialogue box to delete settings.
try and let me know
