Problem with type tool

I am having trouble with my type tool in Photoshop cs4 on windows xp
I have looked through a few threads where people have had the same problem and tried the recommended solutions but it hasn't helped.
If i use the type tool it creates a new layer but nothing happens on my workspace, it renames the layer with what i have typed. I tried changing font, font size, font colour and canvas size, still nothing. If i use the transform tool sometimes it will give me an error saying "could not transform because the initial bounding rectangle is empty" and sometimes it it will work and i will be able to transform something that isnt there. i have reset tools like suggested in other threads but that has not changed anything.
Any ideas
Thanks

You may have been able to solve the problem by just resettiing the Type tool.
While resetting the whole of preferences will cure all sorts of problems, you have to go through all the settings again to get them how you had them before.
Unless of course you made a copy of the entire preferences folder, to copy back in over the defaults.

Problems with Pro Tools 8, is it the software?

Hello, I know this is "Apple Discussions", but since I'm using Pro tools 8 with the new macbook pro, I might get some answers here. I recently bought pro tools 8, I already have logic though, but wanted to be in the pro tools world too so, the thing is that every time I use Pro Tools 8 with the digi 003, the session Im working on will stop with just a few plugins, and man this happens a lot, on the other hand is that nothing happens when I use the digi 003 with Logic 8, I mean, I could have like 20 plugins and It would not stop at all. Can anyone identify with this problem with pro tools 8, Because people tell me that on pro tools 7.4 that doesnt happen at all.
Thank you...

PT8 is much better with plug ins than PT7x, but is not in the league of Logic. I am a huge PT fan and use both Logic and PT8, and as much as I love the look and superior interface of PT8, Logic is like an ugly old car that goes 200 MPH. It's a performance beast. I've had ridiculous amounts of plug ins in Logic with not a whimper from the program.
PT8 is much more sensitive to things like whether you are using Firewire drives to record to (as opposed to internal SATAs on a Mac Pro), and many 3rd party plugs cause PT much grief. For high track counts and lots of plug ins, Logic is still King Kong.

It sounds like your CLASSPATH is not set up correctly. Did you follow
the instructions in the README for setting up your environment?

Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

Try this on for size:
Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
"Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
"End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
"Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
"End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
Type Tool Visual Indicators
Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

Problems using Type Tool

Hi
I'm a bit of newbie to Indesign and was just wondering if someone could help me out. I'm having problems with the Type Tool.
I've been working on my first few documents, (simple 1 page postcards), but when I go back to add some more text using the Type Tool it doesn't create the usual type frame/box and the cursor just goes straight to the top left hand side of the document? I'm sure I must be doing something wrong.
Apologies if the answer is dead simple.
Cheers
spur07

You probably have a rectangle as a background on your page? When you click anywhere on that rectangle with text tool, it converts your rectangle to text frame and insertion point jumps to top-left corner of frame.
It´s a bit annoying but you can get rid of that feature from preferences, in Type tab, there is a checked feature Text tool converts frames to text frames (or something like that) Just uncheck it... Then you have to change those accidentally converted rectangles back to grapgic frames (Select rectangle and choose Object>Content>Graphic)
If you don´t want to stop using that feature, you can also draw your text frame outside of page, type you text and move it right position

Problems with Clone Tool / Content Aware Scaling in CS4 Mac

I've been using PS for about 1 year and a half. Sort of an Advanced beginner. One of the things I love is the clone tool. Since I've upgraded to CS4 I've had nothing but problems with the Clone tool. When I go over an area it doesn't show anything and the either makes the adjustments after a long delay or it goes black and then comes back with the adjustment. Sometimes when I'm dragging the brush the whole picture goes away replaced by a smear of color noise. It really makes the tool unusable. In many cases I've gone back to CS3.
I also have similar problems with the content aware scaling. Never been able to get it to work. Basically some of the nicest new features of CS4 are worthless for me. Tried looking at Adobe solution and searching the forums but I haven't seen any exactly similar problems of solutions.
Any help appreciated. I have a white 24' Intel Mac with a 2.33 GHz Intel Core 2 Dual with 3GB RAM.
Alan

As always the various User Forums are fantastic. Adobe (and other) get everyone to do their Tech Service for them. Thanks for the help.
So, two new pieces of info. When I disable Open GL everything works fine. (Sorry about the TIFF, I just didn't catch it) So in essence this solves my problem.
Also PS CS4 works perfectly on my new Aluminum MacBook. So clearly it is an issue with the video board on my iMac.
This brings me to the wrap-up question. Should PS CS4 theoretically work with Open GL on my iMac or is it a know problem with CS4 and older graphics boards? I'm assuming my board supports Open GL.
This is the Profiler data on the Graphics Card
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT

Some of the Open GL features are nice and wouldn't mind having them but not worth buying a new Mac for. So the questions is: Is the some kind of upgrade / driver I can load to solve this problem.
Again Thanks for the help

Problem with type conversion and primary key during row fetch

[Note, this error occurs in Oracle XE, APEX 2.1.0.00.39]
I have been having a problem with Automatic Row Fetch:
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
So in an effort to resolve this, I created a PL/SQL process with the query below and was able to isolate the same error. The problem seems to come from one of the primary keys being a "number" type (APP_ID). The error occurs on the line:
where u.app_id=:P5_APP_ID
I have tried the following variations on this line in an effort to resolve this, but all generate the same error:
1) where to_char(u.app_id) = :P5_APP_ID
2) where u.app_id = to_number(:P5_APP_ID)
3) where to_char(u.app_id) = to_char(:P5_APP_ID)
I've also tried the laternate syntax "&__." and "#__#", but these don't function in the Source field and show up as syntax errors.
Any suggestions are welcome.
begin
for r in (
select app_name, apptype, appcreator, appurl
from application_users u, application_info i
where u.app_id=:P5_APP_ID
and i.app_id=u.app_id
and u.username=:P5_USERNAME)
loop
begin
:P5_APP_NAME := r.app_name;
:P5_APPURL := r.appurl;
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20000,'In Loop Failure',true);
end;
end loop;
exception
when others then
raise_application_error(-20000,'Out of Loop Failure',true);
end;
Thanks in advance,
Barney

I found a prior post referencing a similar issue and it was solved by using the "v(__)" syntax. This did resolve my issue, however, I have a quick follow-on which I'm hoping someone can answer quickly...
Since the "v(__)" syntax won't work for the Automatic Row Fetch (at least to the best of my knowledge), I have to do a manual process. However, the manual query as shown above doesn't actually populate any of the form values through the bind variables. They all remain at their cached values from prior data entry on the form.
Is using the bind variables for assignment incorrect, or is there something that must be done to get the updates to show up in the form (ordering of processes, etc.).
My manual process is running in the Load: Before Header state so I would have expected it to update all of the fields.
Thanks in advance,
Barney

Problem with Pen Tool CS5

Hi,
I just got Photoshop CS5 and I'm having a bit of trouble with the pen tool - namely, I can't see the path I'm creating. In CS3 I could clearly see the line between two points but in the new program the line is nearly invisible making it very difficult to create the path. Is this a setting I can fix?
thanks

I was having 32 bit while I upgraded from CS3 to CS4. The only problem with CS4 that time was with pen tool.Though I cannot precisely recall , I can say it t was very lazy and very frustrating and this was resolved totally after shifting to 64 bit.--If urs existing system is 32 bit try with 64 bit

Problem with Type Reference "TYPE' in JCO

Hi All,
I am facing a weard situation when i am creating a custom RFC function module. This FM is called by Java program with JCO. But, if i define the FM parameters with Reference type as 'TYPE', the Java application is not able to get the data. But the same time, if i declare the parameters with 'LIKE', it is working successfully.
Can anybody advise me, why it is behaving differently? Is the problem with JCO which is not able to recognise the 'TYPE' reference or from SAP side?
And, any solution to use 'TYPE' reference successfully?

hi Sailesh,
You are right. SAP doesn't recommend the usage of Like in PROGRAMS/REPORTS - mind it, only REPORTS.
But when it comes to RFC enabled FMs, JCo Understands only LIKE. what you had observed is true. LIKE creates a WA and JCo looks into a workarea. TYPE can refer to a pool of variables but your JCo can't differentiate them. So, you use LIKE.
Again, you use LIKE only Remote enabled FMs not in Reports/Programs. so, you may use TYPE as your company remommends in reports but in RFMs, use LIKE.
Hope this cleared.
Regards
Ak.

I want to separate each value in separate row of a table.
It runs fine until the "insert into" statement.
Here I get the error "no data found". This means, that the variable v_ersatzliste(i) contains no value. I used the debugger, the separation of the value runs fine, but why the variable v_ersatzliste(i) has no values. I didn't find the problem.
Its not the first time, I use "type ... is table of", but till now I never had problems with this.
What could be the reason for no founded data in my variable.
Thanks in advance
D. Mildner

ohhh yes, you're right.
I think I should go home now :-).
Thanks very much.

Problems with Type in Photoshop 5.1

Hi. After downloading a 30 day trail version of Captivate, I noticed that my Font Preview was no longer available in Photoshop (although still visible in MS Word, Powerpoint and Captivate). Also, the Type Tool has become inoperable in Photoshop 5.1. I get the dialoge box 'Could not complete your request because something prevented the text engine from being initialized"
What to do??
I have downloaded all Photoshop 5.1 updates. I have checked Font Preview Box in Preferences, and also unchecked Font Preview in Preferences to no avail. I do not have any of the problem Fonts. I ran Malware and Windows Security Essentials and found no problems.
What to do?
Thanks for any advise.

Thank you so much for your reply. I downloaded all the available downloads for Photoshop 5.1, and then did nothing. Today I pulled an old Photoshop file into the software, and the Font Previews were there again, and the type tool worked fine.
So I closed that file and created a new project. The type tool worked fine, as did the Font Preview.
Don't have any explanation to offer except the Adobe Gods took pity upon me and fixed it while I was sleeping.
Thank you again for your reply and solution recommendations. Apparently your thoughtful solutions were so effective I didn't even need to act upon them! Good MoJo Silkrooster. Now please give some thought to World Peace please.

Problem with move tool? (Win 7)

On Photoshop CS4 , everytime I select the move tool and decide to move an object among a layer , it moves the object off screen , making it difficult to bring it back to the canvas to move . I know it isn't jumping layers , because only the object inside of one layer i moved , but ... am I the only one that has this problem ? How do I fix it ?
It doesn't only have this problem with the move tool , but with the text tool , marquee tools , and the brush tool , as well . The text tool would jump off screen , the marquee tool would position the marquee somewhere other than where I clicked it to be , and the brush tool would sometimes jump out of the brush outline . Can someone help ?

Standard questions:
Have you updated to version 11.0.1?
Have you updated your video drivers?
Is you video card compatible? See http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405711
Have you tried turning off OpenGL in preferences?
If the answer to all is yes, try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/375776?tstart=0
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

PLEASE HELP. this is driving me bonkers and the rate at which i'm working is quite delayed. THANK YOU!!!

Photoshop CS5 - Image resize problem with move tool

Hi People
Here's my problem
When I try to resize an layer using the move tool (as opposed to the Free Transform tool), while I'm in the process of moving the scaling handles, the bounding box reflects my movement but the layer preview stays at it's original size. When I stop moving the handles there is a few seconds delay and then the new scale size shows up. If I try to move the handles again, without commiting to the transform, the layer preview reverts back to it's original size until I've finished moving the handles.
I didn't have this problem with CS4 and I've only recently upgraded. I work around this problem by using the proper Free Transform tool (ctrl+t) but it would be nice to know why the hell this happens. It seems to me to be more of a graphical glitch than a software preference but I thought I'd check just-in-case.

Photoshop CS5 V12.1 x64

I also read you you tried updating your video dirvers and your syste crashed and you had to roll back. Make sure you have downloaded the latest correct drivers. If that does not work try turning off Open GL in photoshops preferences.
On my old XP 32 bit system CS5 movet tool with transform dialog does not fail like on your system. I can move the handles time and time again without commiting the transform. The only way to have Photoshop revert the transform back to the original state is to press the ESC key to cancel the uncommitted transform.
