Type function won't work on trial version

Just installed trail version of Photoshop CS5 and the type function does not work?
All I can see when I selct the type tool and start to type is a constant line with no actual letters or numbers?
Can anyone help?
Many thanks

To add to Semphoric's excellent advice, make sure you're not typing white characters on a white background.

  • Am working with trial version of photoshop elements 12. Layer functions remain grayed out when trying to use.

    I'm working with trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. Layer functions remain grayed out when trying to use them.

    You need to have an image open in the main window.

  • I would like to update to Firefox 5.0.1, but I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled.

    I have wanted to update from 3.6.22, to 5.0.1, but can't do to the following reasons: I can't due to, too many things won't work with the version & will be disabled. They are: Microsoft. NET Framework Assistant 1.2.1, Iconix 3.90.1, HP Detect 1.0.5.1, Yahoo! Toolbar 2.3.5.201101200332202 (I don't care about Yahoo! Toolbar, because I don't use it!). As soon as these issues are fixed, I will be able to update, to the latest versions. These issues should be fixed & ready to work, before a new version is available. Thank you!

    Try using this extension to force compatibility.

  • Wacom Intuos Tablet Touch Function Won't Work On Mac OS X

    Hi there,
    I recently purshased a Wacom Intos pen & touch tablet, model CTH-480. But the touch function won't work.
    I've done the following, but it still won't work:
    1. Re-install the driver to the latest. (Driver Driver 6.3.8-2 from http://us.wacom.com/en/support/drivers/)
    2. Turned on the switch on the tablet. Whenever I touch the tablet, the blue signal light at the top-right corner will be on.
    3. In the app named "Wacom Desktop Center", the "Touch Settings" shows "Touch On". So the software is configured well.
    4. In the "System Preferences" --> "Walcom Tablets", the "Touch Options" is available and is able to configure. There's no option there which saya "Enable Touch Input" as seen in some tutorials online.
    The other functions are perfect. I can use the pen, I can set custom functions to all buttons on the tablet.
    Someone meet similar problems before? I sincerely appreciate your help!
    Best Regards,
    A new Walcom user in desperate

    I had the same exact problem. No matter what I did, tablet LED lights and diagnostic testing mode indicated touch sensors working but no corresponding screen functions. This included removing the app/plist installation through CleanMyMac 2 and a subsequent reinstall. You may have fixed your problem by now but Wacom customer support sent me this advice within a day and it worked for me on first try.  Touch gesture and pen functions seem to work equally well now.
    Key is to use the uninstall utility within the Wacom app itself.
    Thank you for contacting Wacom Customer Care. The problem that you received maybe cause by a corrupted driver file. While you may have already reinstalled the driver, please follow these specific instructions:
    Open your Applications folder and locate any Tablet or Wacom Tablet folders you have
    Use the Utility in each of these folders and click ‘Remove’ under ‘Tablet Software’
    Once the software is removed, restart the computer
    Once this is complete, download and install the latest 6.38 driver from: (Current as of Aug 2014)
    http://cdn.wacom.com/u/productsupport/drivers/mac/professional/WacomTablet_6.3.8 -2.dmg
    As always, make sure your tablet is connected directly to your computer. Avoid using USB hubs, keyboard/monitor ports, or docking stations with the tablets, as they can cause inconsistent behavior.

  • Latest version of Safari won't work with my version of OS.

    I downloaded the latest version of Safari but it won't work with my version of OS (10.6.8). ***! It's pretty frustrating that my computer allowed me to download it without noticing it's not compatible--seems like a simple enough concept to check for that BEFORE effing someone up entirely.
    How do i revert back to the old version of Safari? I was using Chrome but it's become impossibly slow.
    Thanks!

    When you click on the proxy icon for an asset, does the "Search All Jobs" view show a "downloading" message indicating that the proxy is being transferred to your local machine?
    Also, what specific software versions (Quicktime and FCS) are you working with?

  • Are some functions disabled in Elements 11 trial version?

    I have Elements 11 trial version. The "create new layer" function doesn't work. Why?

    In the trial version of photoshop elements, all the the features are there, you are just only allowed to try it for 30 days. As for the button not working, make sure that you are actually pressing the "new layer" button and not something else. If that doesn't work, see I the new layer button works in the menus at the top of your window. I'm not sure which menus it is located under since I am running Photoshop CS6 extended. Make sure that you actually have a picture open first before you try adding new layers.
    Hope that helps!

  • Elements/Premiere 12 PC stopped working after trial version of Lightroom CC was installed / and uninstalled - I need help deactivating prior to rebuilding

    Dear forum
    After I installed a 90 trial version of Lightroom CC.  I had an issue with it so uninstalled it, since then I have had Error dialog pop up after Win7 x64 Ultimate startup; and also every session, with Photoshop elements / premier 12,
    I constantly get dynamiclinkmanager has stopped working.
    ElementsAutoanalzer has stopped working,
    and Adobe premier Elements 12 has stopped working
    I'm fed up trying to resolve this issue which I believe was down to Lightroom CC installation, so I now want to upgrade from W7 Ult x64 to Win 8.1 x64 and reinstall all my apps.
    However I need to deactivate Elements 12 / Premiere 12 on this PC before I rebuild / upgrade, but cannot, Premiere 12 does not load at all, and while Elements 12 loads, there is no option to deactivate the licence on this PC
    This is my 2nd PC, I have Elements / premiere 12 also on my w8.1 laptop, which is fully working, so I don't want to touch that. I never tried Lightroom CC on my laptop.
    Any ideas as to how to deactivate, I tried Adobe Sign in, but there is no option or link to email or call them, the support flowchart directs me here only.
    Any help much appreciated, or even a contact Phone no for Adobe in UK
    TIA

    As the crash report says - your outdated video card driver is crashing. You need to update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website (AMD/ATI in this case).

  • I've downloaded CS6 upgrade. It did not work. Trial version worked. How do I get a good version?

    I downloaded the CS6 Photoshop upgrade and it did not install. It just quit. I installed the trial version and it worked and accepted the licence and updated OK. I want a copy incase I crash this install. How do I do that?? Who do I call. How do I check sinse I've already installed CS6???

    Not quite sure what you are asking. If the trial version worked, you can simply backup that. If you want physical install media, contact sales.

  • The 2.1.3 Software update won't work, the new version of iTunes won't download. Please help.

    For several months now I have not been able to find a solution to either of these two problems. When I have the Apple Software Update program open and I click update, it loads for a second and then goes back to the usual page saying to update. It will not update. I have also tried, multiple times, to install the new current version of iTunes and that won't work either. I've tried to repair iTunes by going to Control Panel > Programs > Repair and it still won't work. Please help because I'm trying to download a new app but it requires the new version of iTunes. I am using a Windows Vista and I'm this is for my 4th generation iPod touch.

    Did you try simply downloading the latest version of iTunes using the link below and then installing it on top of the older version?

  • I just upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  What version of Safari do I need?

    I finally got around to updating to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and now Safari won't work.  It was version 4.0.5.  I know I should of upgraded prior but didn't need to because everything was working.  Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Are you opening Safari directly from /Applications rather than using a Dock shortcut ?.
    If the one in /Applications won't work either - what happens exactly... if there's a crash report, please post it here.
    Also, check Software Update, and/or manually install  Safari 5.1.9 for Snow Leopard

  • Converting work from Trial version to purchased version?

    I just purchased FCPX and am wondering how to convert my work from the Trial version.

    Have you launched your paid version?
    It should start up and load your projects exactly the same as the free trial  .  .  .  because they are the same app.
    There is no point in finishing your projects in the trial  .  .  .  just open the paid version and carry on working.

  • Export function won't work - help!

    Running iPhoto 6 and for some reason my "export" function doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure if upload companions (shutterfly, flickr, etc.) are interfering, but suspect they are. Any have this problem before? Any suggestions on how to fix? Many thanks! Tom

    Tom
    In your Applications folder, select the iPhoto icon and go File -> Get Info. In the resulting Get Info pane you can manage the installed plug-ins. Turn off the third party ones and you'll be able to see if that's the issue. Then a little trial and error will find the particular one that's causing the issue.

  • 9.3  Reader won't work with older version of Acrobat 6.0

    I had Reader 9.3 installed and installed Acrobat 6.0.  Now neither version of Reader will work.
    I've tried removing and reinstalling but 9.3 won't work at all even with Arcobat 6.0 removed.
    What can I  do?

    Reader and Acrobat are not supported on the same Windows computer. It is known to be problem-some. Uninstall Reader and re-install Acrobat 6 or uninstall both, then purchase Acrobat 9, then install Acrobat 9.
