Type Tool Lettering Not Visible

I have Photoshop Elements 9 on a Mac, just upgraded to Yosemite. I am unable to get the type tool to show my lettering. It creates a layer but the lettering is just not there.

Check all the setting in the tool option bar make sure there a good size and color the will show. That you not doing white on white. Check the character panel as well and try resetting your Photoshop tools and preferences if all setting look good.. Also check over in the Element s forum

Text keeps disappearing when I select it to make type at all / make changes / edit. Type tool is not working. I am running CS6 on a Macbook Pro Retina (which I am hating!) 10.9.4 - wish I'd never upgraded.

On a mac the type tool will not display when i double click on the type button in the layers panel

The type tool will not display. So I can't change text format.

Thank you for your response. I am using PSE version 11, OS 10.9.4.
I figured out the issue. The Text Tool was displayed but it was off the bottom of the screen. I had to resize the window from the bottom to display the Text Tool. To do so I had to move the dock to the left and then learn that by using the Option key it is possible to change window size on both edges.
Problem solved, thank you.

Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1)

Hi,
My Type Tool does not select type by double clicking or click and drag. (Windows CS 5 V15.1). This is what I have tried so far and the problem still exists.
Check preferences for "Text": "Select text-object by path only" should be off. Checked. It was off. Didn't fix it.
Check the toggle for Show/Hide Edges in the View menu. Cmd(Ctrl)-H. Checked. Edges Showing. Didn't fix it.
Trashed my Prefeerences. Didn't fix it.
Any other suggestions out there?
Thank you!!!

I figured it out! I feel pretty silly, but I will share this in hopes of helping the next person :/ Here goes. Don;t laugh to hard!
It was the leading! The space between the two lines of text was less than half of the point size of the actual text. So it looked like two lines but there was actually 3.
Geeze, I'm embarrassed! Thank you for suggesting that I may not need to recreate the entire document, but start with the text, input manually again (even on a new layer, to match the original), which lead to a fix!
Thank you!!!

Install the CC Desktop app, or try Help > Updates....
If all else fails, you can try Crash | Launch, selecting Type tool, but there are other bug fixes in the update.

The method clone() from the type Object is not visible

Hi,
This is my 1st post here for a few years, i have just returned to java.
I am working through a java gaming book, and the "The method clone() from the type Object is not visible" appears, preventing the program from running. I understand "clone" as making a new copy of an object, allowing multiple different copies to be made.
The error occurs here
public Object clone() {
        // use reflection to create the correct subclass
        Constructor constructor = getClass().getConstructors()[0];
        try {
            return constructor.newInstance(new Object[] {

}Any advice? Is it "protected"? Is the code out-of-date?
thankyou,

Any advice? Is it "protected"? Is the code out-of-date?Welcome to the wonderful world of Cloneable. In answer to your first question: Object's clone() method is protected.
A quote from Josh Bloch's "Effective Java" (Item 10):
"A class that implements Cloneable is expected to provide a properly functioning public clone() method. It is not, in general, possible to do so unless +all+ of the class's superclasses provide a well-behaved clone implementation, whether public or protected."
One way to check that would be to see if super.clone() works. Their method uses reflection to try and construct a valid Creature, but it relies on Animation's clone() method, which itself may be faulty. Bloch suggests the following pattern:public Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
   ThisClass copy = (ThisClass) super.clone();
   // do any additional initialization required...
   return copy
if that doesn't work, you +may+ be out of luck.
Another thing to note is that Object's clone() method returns a +shallow+ copy of the original object. If it contains any data structures (eg, Collections or arrays) that point to other objects, you may find that your cloned object is now sharing those with the original.
Good luck.

The type tool is not working on new projects - although I can use it on an existing one?

My type tool has stopped working on projects - although I can see the letters in the layer grid when I press save - they are just not showing up on the project itself. Thank you for any help you can give me!

Nope they are different colors - the cursor doesn't move!

Type tool suddenly not working in PS CS2

Hi,
I just loaded a new font (playbill) and suddenly the type tool is no longer working. There is no cursor visibly (just a dot) and when I type nothing appears. But PS allows me to try to warp the invisible text as if something is there. Opening an earlier Photoshop CS I can use the type tool and the recently added Playbill font.
Any ideas what's causing my lack of type tool functionality, and more importantly, how to get it back?
Done a restart and still a problem.
Thanks for any help in this matter.
OS 10.4.11

Neil,
hi, I've tried that, resolved some duplicates and removed a couple of problem fonts but still no luck with CS2. I also removed the newly added fonts but still no joy. Shut down and restarted. I have 205 fonts.
Would you suggest i reinstall CS2? Or can the fonts be reset? I'm not sure how fonts interact with CS2, especially when CS can handle them okay. A pathway has been corrupted possibly?

Tools palette not visible or accessible

I have been using the particular installation of Labiew (V 6.0, under Windows XP) for a long time without the following problem. All of a sudden, one day, the Tools Palette was not visible, and I was not able to get it back. Tried, of course, clicking "Window >> Show Tools Palette" but this does nothing. I can still cycle through some of the tools using the keyboard (Tab and space bar). Tried cold rebooting -- nothing. Hopefully, I don't have to reinstall.

Here's something to try...perhaps the Tools palette location got stored in the LabVIEW INI file with some funky location, such that it is showing up, but not within the visible bounds of the screen. I'm not sure what the INI entry would be, but it's probably something human readable, like "ToolsPalleteLocation="2000,2000". If you see an entry like that, delete it and restart LabVIEW. But if you don't see anything immediately obvious, you could close LabVIEW, delete (or rename) your LabVIEW INI file, relaunch LabVIEW, and see if your Tools palette shows up again. If so, then it's definitely something fishy in your INI file.
Also, I seem to recall from my days long long ago in the AE department that there might be a KnowledgeBase entry, or a previous Dev Exchange post, on this issue. So if my suggestion is no good, try checking those resources.
Good luck,

Type tool does not work in Illustrator CC

I am using Illustrator CC under a subscription on windows 8. When I go to use the type tool it does not type. I will click on it, create a box or double click to have the horizontal blinking text line show up. When it shows up this time it is a dot and does not show type on screen. So for example I would be sitting here typing this message, but you would not be able to read it as it does not show up on screen.
Really want this fixed or want to know how to fix.
Thanks

What font are you trying to use and in what size?

The type tool is not working

I upgraded from PSE9 to CS5 and I can no longer view any of the fonts or use the type tool in either program. What do I need to do to fix this issue? Thanks for any help! Cindy

Hi Cindy,
You've posted on the AIR Performance forum, and I *think* you'll want to repost in either the Photoshop CS5 or Photoshop Elements forums. You might also try the Creative Suite forum.
Thanks,
Chris
