Please help with text problem

I am new to photoshop.  While going through one of the basic video tutorials, I came to the section where is says to add text.  I followed instructions, but can't see what I type.  My cursor looks different than the one in the video when I click into the layer with the text tool too.  I have a small square dot.  The video shows a normal text cursor, as you'd find in Illustrator.
If I type something and click enter, it replaces the name of the layer, but is still not visible in the image.  The layer displays as a text layer.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks.
Chris.

You mentioned you are new to Photoshop. When using the Type tool if, instead of clicking, you click with a tiny drag to the click you will see this symbol:
Just delete it and try again. Good luck and welcome to Photoshop

  • [ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?

    Hi all,
    Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
    Here is the description :
    -I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
    -Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
    -Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
    s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
    -However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
    Please help
    Thank you

    Hi Dimitris,
    Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
    Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
    Instructions for reproducing the problem :
    1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
    2-Open lqn.model.
    There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
    The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
    Thank you

  • Please help with slideshow problems!

    Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing.  Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened".  How can I save a
    slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow?  I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
    have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not.  Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
    question?  I am trying to add audio to slideshow.  I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
    message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message.  What type of file do I need and how can I add
    multiple songs to one slideshow.   I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
    it fills slide show. 
    Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

    Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
    You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
    Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
    You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
    If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
    -- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
    -- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
    -- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
    It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing.  Save each Project with a unique name.
    After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
    Note:  you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

    maybe its a FileReader deal.. Im not sure, maybe try using InputStreams. This code works for me (it reads from data.txt), give it a try and see if it works:
    import java.io.*;
    public class Example {
         public Example() throws IOException {
              BufferedReader b = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("data.txt")));
              String s = "";
              while ((s = b.readLine()) != null) {
                   System.out.println(s);
              b.close();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              try {
                   new Example();
              catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();

  • Please help with AcroIEHelper problem

    Hello,
    I had perfectly running laptop. Now, with no reason every time I turn on my laptop I get a messege that Windows Installer is preparing to install something. Then Installer asks me to insert a disc with Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro. When I insert the disc installer tells me that it can not access a file. Exactly:
    Adobe Acrobat 7.1.0 Professional
    Error 1304: Error writing to file C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\ActiveX\AcroIEHelper.dll.
    Verify that you have access to that directory.
    I checked that directory and did not find such file. Sometimes, this messege appears when I try to open C: or folders on my Desktop but not always. Once it showed up when I tryed to start IE. Ater I uninstalled Adobe Acrobat this messege stopped showing up. But when I reinstalled Adobe Acrobat it started again.
    I have tryed almost every anti-malware I could find - McAfee, Spybot, Spyware Doctor, Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, Superantispyware, AVG 8.5, Dr. Web - all these programms I ran in both normal and safe modes. I even went to BIOS Setup and returned to factory settings. Nothing helped. I went to malware forum and people did not find any malware in my logs.
    Then, I installed WinPatrol that seems to be able managing startup programs. After I desabled SC-Acrobat.exe and Adobe Gamma Loader I do not have this annoying Windows Installer for Adobe Acrobat warning any more when Windows starts. But it still shows up often, but not always when I open C: or folders on my Desktop. I have Windows Vista Home.
    So could you please help me with this problem? Thank you.

  • PLEASE HELP WITH BATTERY PROBLEM!!

    I recently swicthed from the 8830 which was a wonderfull phone. MY curve from sprint, 8330 is dead every day by 5 pm. I already exchanged the phone and had the battery replaced (third battery) I used my 8830 with the same applications and the most it would be by like 50-70 percent.  I dont know what to do. The curve is SUPPOSED TO  get better battery life! but actually is not. Its become a non realiable phone for me. Its still under my 30 days. Even though i already swaped it once. I do not want to get rid if this phone. I love the blackberry i just need the battery to last me either the same or better than the 8830 as blackberry promised....
    I have read forums in closing the applications but even when i do its still the same. I occasionally do get the hour glass problem and it does lag quite a bit.  Does any one know of a battery issue?? Has to be???
    I let it die last night and recharged it completely - as some of you recommended. I will try it today but my hopes arent to high ....

  • Please help with some problems with my N96

    Hi there,
    I have spent a fair bit of money on my Nokia N96 and unfortunately it is out of its warranty etc.And I have few issues with it.
    So can anyone advise me as to how about I can overcome some issues:
    Firstly, in my message inbox only the numbers display instead of the names (e.g.. +447770260.. Instead of Peter), has anyone had this issue or can help with this? I have gone into the message setting and nothing sticks out and says click me for number or name to be displayed.
    Secondly, the vibrating device doesn't seem to work at all some days and other days it seems fine? Is this a common fault or is it my phone. Also, is there anywhere on the phone to adjust the vibrating force which maybe getting in the way?
    Many thanks for any advise or for merely looking, and grateful for any help.

    read the above thread in regards to the contacts issue. it is a common issue for the s60 phones no fix as yet and it has been few years now.
    there is no way you can adjust the vibration force. its either on or off. the vibration should work at all times if you have it set to work. it should not be random. you might want to take it to nokia care for them to have a look at it despite the fact that it is out of warranty.

  • Please help with text boxes

    Can somebody help me wit hmy problem. I have a fom with many tables in it, some cells of the table are text boxes or at least they were when I developed it. Now I need to edit some of the cells and for some reason I cannot do it as the cell is not a text box but became (untitled<draw>) I cannot change its type back to text. Can some one advise what to do whitouh retyping text again in the new cell.
    Many thanks in advance

    You are welcome!
    I have a preference for Javascript (just get in the syntax zone) and use it for most things (except dates).
    As you know:
    this = current object
    rawValue = accesses the value of object
    From an Excel point of view FormCalc is similar and has inbuilt function like sum(), Max(), etc. Syntax is $ for current object and you don't need the rawValue. This is very handy when summing a column in a repeating table. Also FormCalc is excellent for working with time and dates. (not that you can't work around in Javascript, but it is heavier).
    Adobe have a very good reference for FormCalc at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_formCalc_82 and I would recommend that to you. I think it comes from the LC help file, but is easier to use.
    From a performance point of view, you can either have FormCalc in the calculate event of an object, which looks back at other fields (this will fire each time one of these fields changes). Alternatively you can have the FormCalc in the exit event of a field, which pushes a calculation/value forward to another object.
    Functions are handy if you have a script that you are using several times in a form. You write the script in a "script variable" and then call it in the objects events. HOWEVER, script variables are available in Javascript only.
    One last thing is that if you have a constant (like VAT), then rather than including  "* 0.21" in all of your calculations, use a global variable in the Form / Properties / Variables tab. currentVat = 0.21. Then in your calculations would be "* currentVat.value". If the VAT rate changes then you only have to change it in one location.
    In summary FormCalc is more akin to Excel; just watch the syntax.
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • Please help with video problem

    I hope I'm in the right forum. I have a MS-6368 Mainboard & recently the video has gone bad. The boarders of anything on the screen & the text is for the lack of a better word squiggly. Horizontal lines seem to be ok but all vertical lines & all text have this squiggly swimmy motion. Just a warning that I am very computer ignorant.
    TIA

    DOMM:
    Since your able to boot into safe mode okay your problem sounds like it is simply a driver problem. In safe mode Windows is not loading the driver for your video controller. In safe mode Windows loads its own generic video driver which has very limited capabilities. Actually the generic driver has only just enough capabilities to function in safe mode operation.
    Try to follow Hjongste's suggestions or, download the drivers for your motherboard and follow the instruction in the readme. If there is a readme file because the installer will more than likely do everything for you anyway. They have the VGA driver for your motherboard on this page:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=21&kind=1
    Just run the installer program and see if that cures your problem.
    By the way...
    I did a search in the knowledge base for your motherboard and the question "Can I disable the on-board video for MS-6368?" question was answered with "No, you cannot, this is a chipset limitation." So adding a video card is probably out of the question anyway. The help you've been provided is very useful. Don't be timid about following their advice.

  • Help with texting problems??

    hi Im not sure  what to do. I was texting a good friend of mine the other night and he was texting me back too. The next morning I tried texting him again and it just said sent. But when I tried calling it just rings a ton until it eventually goes to voicemail. We both have the same phone the motorola rival... any suggestions as to what I should do? is it possible that his phone is off even though it still rings?

    Are you having the problem only with your friend's number or anytime you send out a text message? Also, are you in a different area when attempting to send the text messages? If your answer is No to both questions, try to do a battery pull. Remove the battery to your device, wait about 30 seconds, replace the battery then power on the device. Try to send the message again.

    I know this must sound like pre-school stuff to many of you but never having done much in the way of programming, for me this is huge.  I have a large amount of text which I want to display on the screen of an iPhone and be able to scroll through it.  I have watched more videos on youtube than I can remember, tried what I thought would do the trick but all with no luck.  Any and I mean any help would be great.

    Put a Scroll View (UIScrollView) into the storyboard where you want the text to appear and then add the text.
