Text Appearing as 1-Pixel-Sized Boxes in CS2

Greetings,
I'm having a problem with text inside Photoshop CS2. I've never had this problem before so I'm not sure what's causing it or how to fix it-- obviously.
I first noticed this problem when I was doing some work in Photoshop earlier today. I was working on a 1024 x 1024 image and noticed that when I tried to add text that I couldn't see it at all. It wasn't hidden behind any layers as the text layer was at the top, the opacity was set to 100%, the layer wasn't hidden, so it should have been visible... but it wasn't. I tried increasing the font size up to the max but again I couldn't see it.
Wondering what the heck was going on I created a new image file at 190 x 190 pixels and tried to add in text. This time something appeared and I realized why I couldn't see the text on the previous piece... because the text, for some reason, is appearing as tiny 1 pixel by 1 pixel sized boxes (and the font size is set to 72). If I lower the font size to anything below 72, than the boxes simply disappear. It doesn't matter if it's custom font or the standard font, it all does the same thing.
I was doing some work yesterday in Photoshop so I'm not sure if I accidentally hit some option that's causing this and I didn't realize it; though the text was working yesterday...
I've been trying to trace back through the option panels to see if there's anything that might cause this to happen but I haven't found anything yet.
Does anyone happen to know what's going on here and how I can fix this?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you for your time.

> Well, I went into Image > Image Size and it does look like the resolution is set to 1 (I don't remember ever changing it, but who knows). But if I try to set the resolution to 72, the width and height jump up to 73,728 pixels... which, when I tried to have it increase to that size, made Photoshop and my computer wig out and took me an hour just to get the program to close.
For sure you had "Resample Image" checked. You should have had that unchecked. You don't want to re-sample (increase or decrease the number of pixels), you just want to change the resolution-to-dimension relationship. You want to increase the resolution without re-sampling, which will cause your dimensions (in inches or centimeters) to decrease (probably by quite a bit if your resolution was set at 1 pixel (per inch?).
All this works better if you sort of think things through beforehand. If you know you are producing an 8.5"x11" sheet and you know that you will be printing it out at about 300 pixels per inch, then you create your canvas with those dimensions and resolution or, if you are using an image instead of a blank canvas you crop and Image Size the image to that dimension and resolution. Then, when you add your text, the font size in points will be roughly what you would expect from a word processing application. 10-12 pt text will come out similar to a normal "typewritten" text document, for example.

PDF files viewed in Safari or downloaded through Safari: Text appears as black and gray boxes

Hi, a client of ours is having issues viewing PDFs on her home computer. When she views them in browser OR if she saves them through the browser and opens them, she gets the same result. All text (it is an uncommon font being used) shows up as boxes:
The error is occuring on OSX 10.6.8 using Safari 5.1.10
The PDF file is being saved out through Word
Client does not have Adobe Acrobat Pro
Is there anything that can be done to get this to display properly on Snow Leopard / in Safari?
Please let me know if you need additional details about the situation, and I'll get them from the client.

Remove any AdobePDFViewer plugins from /Library/Internet Plug-Ins, restart, and the problem should be gone.

Typing yields only "ding" and no text appears!!!

This can't get any more basic!!!
New document, typing on keyboard yields only ding sound and no text appears in the document!!! ***????

You probably have opened a blank Layout mode template which has no default text area.
There are 2 kinds of templates, Word Processing templates which flow from page to page and which you can just type into, and Layout templates which require you to create text boxes to type into.
See the sidebar in the Template Chooser to see which is which.

Text appears in the FIND bar rather than website fields. How can I fix this?

When I type text into a search box in a website such as Google, ebay or Amazon, the text does not appear in the field; instead the firefox FIND bar automatically pops up and the text appears in it instead. How can I prevent this from happening?

Usually if you click in the field, Firefox will interpret the typing correctly.
Could you check to see whether you have this feature turned and, if you do, turn it off:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General mini-tab > "Search for text when I start typing"
If that was on and you turn it off, does that fix the problem?
If not, could you try the same pages in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
Any difference?

Some text appears bold when published. Why?

Hi.
I've used iWeb to create my very first web-site, but I have an annoying problem. On my links page, one particular block of text appears in bold when viewing on a browser. The text is not bolded, though, in iWeb.
http://web.mac.com/stevenrichardjackson/iWeb/bloggermepink/links.html
Look at the links on the right hand side, under the subheading "Apple".
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to make this text appear the same as the rest if the text on that page.
Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Wow -- this is getting stranger and stranger...
I did what you suggested, namely duplicating the "Apple" links text box, deleting the "Films" and "Geekery" text boxes, repositioning the duplicated box into the desired place and re-typing the links. This sounded like a pretty good suggestion.
However...
Now have a look:
http://web.mac.com/stevenrichardjackson/iWeb/bloggermepink/links.html
If you put your mouse over the "Geekery" links and move it around a bit, you'll see that the Xbox sites have a phantom space that appears and disappears depending on where the mouse is hovering...
The only explanation I can think of is that there is some kind of bug in iWeb's Publish function. Has this section of my web-site been published twice, and the second publish hasn't overwritten the first???
This might be way off mark, but what else could be causing this?
I have checked my file in iWeb, by the way, and there's no hidden text box or anything like that...
Hope you have a suggestion.
Cheers,
Steve.

2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?

2 days ago I was able to manually send my text messages to my email in box. Now I can't.. any ideas?
I was always able to go into the particular text that I wanted to save. Press on the text and it would give the option of either copy, more or speak. I would click more and on the far left side the text would be checked and I was able to click and check multiple texts within. Once I had selected what I wanted to send to my email account. I would click on the arrow on the bottom right side and a new screen would come up I would tap within and all the text messages that I checked would appear and I would then enter my email address and hit the send and it would appear in my email send box. NOW I CAN”T DO THIS.. I have been on the phone with Apple 3 times with no reason… Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,

Without knowing what settings you are currently using, its impossible to say what has gone wrong.
These are the 2 (different sets of) settings Apple provides:

They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.

If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

No Text Appears in Book (Preview and in Book)

I just receive a Medium Soft Cover book from Apple and to my surprise there was no text present. I tried printing to pdf or previewing within iphoto and no text appears as well. My font sizes are all small. I even created a new book with a couple photos and used the default text - still no text in preview.
Someone suggested ditching the preferences file for iphoto as well as the cache. My fear in doing that is that the whole iphoto library gets reset...is there another way?
help?

Go to your User/Library/Caches folder and look for a folder titled iPhoto. Drag it to the Trash. I will get recreated the next time iPhoto needs to create a cache file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Text appearing as white on white on a webpage?

A friend of mine created this website http://www.confinementmovie.com/ but for me in Safari (and Firefox) most of the text appears as white on a white background (i.e. it can't be read unless highlighted with a mouse). He said this isn't true for other people he's shown it to. Is this a problem of some settings on my computer/browsers, or a problem in the html of his site?

Thanks for checking! From further information I have received elsewhere, evidently the site was created in Microsoft Word and only displays properly in Internet Explorer.

Text appearance in adobe acrobat (pro) files displays inconsistently unless you zoom in. Mainly 'i's and 'l's look bigger than they should.

The pdfs print fine though.

Try doing a spotlight search for all files that start with AdobeFnt. They will be named AdobefntXX.lst, with the XX being some number. They will be scattered across the drive... After making sure that all Adobe applications are closed, trash all the adobefntxx.lst files, those with the 3 letter extension .lst.
Then, restart the system, and open the files in Acrobat again.
Otherwise, what happens in Safe boot? (Remember, Safe boot loads only a default set of fonts.) If they display fine there, the problem most likely is a font issue, one of the fonts that Adobe installed.
Check Adobe's web support page for troubleshooting Fonts.

Contact Adobe about the whole issue, it is after all, Adobe Acrobat... Adobe's contact number is 800 833 6687.

Safari 4.0.5 Text Appears as an A inside a Square

Just got my new Macbook Pro. However I am observing some strange behavior on some websites. Some of the text appears as an "A" inside a square. i've noticed this at Ebay and at SFGate.com. Any ideas?

Could something has been brought over that is causing the issue?
Yes! Definitely. I was just getting ready to ask if you had used the MA.
From the Safari Menu click File/Export Bookmarks. Save that file to an external source.
Now go to ~/Library/Safari and move the Bookmarks.plist / History.plist / LastSession.plist files to the Trash.
Then go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and move the "Cache.db" file to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, launch Safari and try SFGate.com
If nothing helped, repair disk permissions. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
If that didn't help, install the v10.6.3 Combo Update It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.3

Is there a way to still get audible alerts of new messages without having any banners or text appear in the lock screen?

I'm trying to make sure I am doing this correctly. How do you set up alerts for both text messages and iMessages so that even when the phone is locked you will still get an audible or vibration alert as soon as the message is received? And is there a way to do this without having any text appear on the lock screen that shows who the message is from. My phone stays in locked mode most of the time but I still want to recieve alerts for new messages as soon as they arrive. I'm also concerned about privacy so I don't want any text or preview or even any information about the sender to appear on the lock screen. I just want a vibration or audible alert.

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.
