Why is the text box acting so weird??

I am trying to do something simple that I've done a million times in Photoshop CS5 -- create a text box with some text inside. But something is going wrong and I can't quite figure it out...
Notice how the text box is now much larger than the text displayed. I would like to make this text box as wide as the guide aligned with the "Donate" box.
... But when I pull the right middle handlebar in slightly, look what happens to the text:
Any idea what's going on here?

Did the text come from an email or a word processor? Try cutting and pasting the text into a word processor. Opt for showing all the formatting marks, such as spaces, paragraphs, etc. Delete everything but the text and necessary spaces. Paste it back into a new text box created to the size you want with the text tool. It should now flow to the size of the box. The other option is to retype the text into a properly sized text box, making sure not to use the return button at all. I know this answer doesn't specifically address what is wrong with the box you show, but it should get the text into the shape you want.

Why Are the Text Boxes I Create in a Layout Not Editable When I Add Them?

I've made some chapter and section layouts and in the layouts panel when I select them the text boxes are red and editable. But when I apply the layout to a page in my book, everything is greyed out. Nothing is locked, but now my layouts are useless.
Have anyone else had this issue? Am I just creating the text boxes incorrectly? What's the problem?

I figured it out but this is a HUGE gotcha for anyone else this happens to.
While editing layouts, there is an option in the Layout Tab in the Inspector called "Editable on Pages Using This Layout". This MUST be checked for each object you want to change in the pages you add to a book.

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?

Why does Preview automatically resize the text box to cut off the last character of added text? How do I fix it?
I use the Tools > Annotate > Add Text feature, and when I click away after adding text, it automatically changes the text box size such that the last letter -- or last word -- gets bumped off into an invisible line below it, forcing me to manually adjust every single text box. It is highly annoying when trying to complete PDF forms (e.g. job applications).
It appears to be a glitch, quite honestly, an error resulting from Apple's product design. Has it been fixed in the new operating system (for which they want $30)?
I would very much appreciate any help you can provide! Thank you for your time.

Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

Why is there always the text of an old message in the text box every time I go to write a new message?

For the last three days, when I go to write a new text/iMessage, there is the text of a message I sent recently in the text box. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing seems to work... each time I go to write a new message, there's the same old text again. does anyone know why this is happening - and what I can do to erase it and get back to a good old blank text box? Thanks for your help!

If the login box keeps popping up either your acct is disabled or you are mistyping your pw.
Go here and try out your pw and reset if necessary:

Why does the text in text boxes go invisible when annotating PDFs in preview?

If I hover my mouse over where the text box is, the little yellow box that tells you what text is there comes up and shows what the box is supposed to say, but the text is invisible. If I double click the area where the text is supposed to be, it highlights and makes the text visible again. Its not that the text is white, because if i drag it over a dark area, it still doesn't show up. This happens when I open it up again after annotating and saving/closing it. I attached pictures of my cursor hovering over the invisible text box, and one of it hovering over an unaffected text box, for comparison. This has happened to me before. What is happening and how do i stop it?

But, about half the time, when i am finished typing and click out of the box, back to view the result, the text does not appear. If i go back to Edit Content within the box, it is there, but disappears when i exit the box. It does not print when i print a test sheet.
The fact that 'about half the time' you are seeing this issue and presumably not the other part of the time, I would suggest trying to run the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog:

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there. What am I doing wrong?

Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking. Filters are basically ignored by the tracker. Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker. Did you change the timing after doing the tracking? If so this would also require you to re-track the shot. Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.

Ipages - how to set the upper margin on the text box so the text aligns at this point

I can't figure out why there is all this extra white space in the text box on iPages. I want to have the first line of my text be at the top of the text box. I'm not able to pull the top line of the text box down to it.

What is iPages? Do you mean Pages? If so then ask this question in the Pages forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/pages
This is the MacBook Pro forum.

In iWork Pages 5.1, how do I eliminate "text" in the Text Box?

In iWork Pages 5.1, how do I eliminate the word "text" which appears in the Text Box, when I've used a color filler and no words?

Select the text and delete.
If you don't want text in the box, don't use a text box ie in Shapes there are various shapes. Select one without 'T'.

When converting word doc to pdf, my images with text only show the background color of the text box.

I have a word doc that I am trying to conver to pdf. I have jpegs with text boxes on top of them on one page. It looks great on the screen but after I convert to pdf, the text boxes only have half the text, the first half of the text box is just white - the background color. If I take the background color out of the text box, the text converts over fine but I need the background color.
I have tried many things here on the print settings, standard, high quality print, unchecking the compression on the images. Any help?

Can you no longer have a background color for the text box in the new version of hp photo creations

just updated to the new version of HP Photo Creations, used to be able to have a colored background for the text box - is that no longer possible in this new (not better) version????!!!!! Uuuuuuuuuugh

Hi Lainey.
Thanks for asking. We're working on bringing back that feature. In the meantime, here's another way to add text backgrounds: Add a placeable graphic and then click the Arrange button to send it to the back, behind the text.
That approach also gives you more interesting shapes. The new alignment guides make it a snap to align a graphic with a text box. In the example below (it may take a day for the image to show up here), I also used the new Premium Editing Features to change the color of the graphic.
P.S. — Applying a thick border to an empty text box (also using the Premium Editing Features) is another way to create a background shape. That has the advantage of letting you pick any color for the box. You'll also find several new text styles at the bottom of the new text menu.
Let us know if we can help further,

How do I Expand the Text Box in Mail Stationery?

I have a question about using stationery in Mail. Is there anything I can do to make the text box in certain templates to hold more content? It seems that, in some templates (like Bamboo, for example), the text box expands automatically as more content is keyed in. Yet, in the Tack Board template, for example, the text box does not expand beyond what seems to be a fixed length for content. How can I get the text box in Tack Board to expand for additional content?

Please check text input state defined , also if the form is inserted in any container then try to test out the form with different text input boxes in a new page.
Additionally , check the mid-hieght of text inserted in frame.
Thanks,
Sanjit

How do I add text to a photo when making a calendar from iPhoto? I see the text box for the dates but not for the actual photo...thanks.

I can't find a way to add text to a photo once it's been put into the top pane of the calendar month...is there a way to do this since I'd like to add a descriptor to the photos? I see the text box when you click on the calendar date, but don't find one for the photo pane. Thanks for any assistance.

Right - you can not add text to photos with iPhoto - you must use an external editor
