When i add a text to a picture now i cant rotate it.The box dont even show up.I did a search and didnt find anything helpful.
With Move Tool active check Show Transform Controls in the Options bar. Will that work for you as quick workaround?
I can not reproduce problem on windows, when holding down Ctrl box is showing up.

Hi
Are you choosing Edit > Free Transform (Cmd+T) ? Or Edit > Transform > Rotate? Either should work.
From Help:
Rotate a layer
From the Layers panel, select the layer you want to rotate.
If anything is currently selected in the image, choose Select > Deselect.
Choose Edit > Transform > Rotate. A box defining the boundaries of the layer (called a bounding box) appears.

I did the edit transform rotate and that works but have never had to do it that way.I have always clicked text and black box comes up around it and then i would rotate it. guess things change from last update.Never have had to use command t for it.

Enable "Show Transform Controls" in the options bar. If it's not open, open it from the Window menu.

After you add the text, but before you commit the text, if you hold down the Cmd key, do you see the bounding box as shown below?

Try saving the file, closing and reoping Photoshop.
If that doesn't work you could reset preferences. In Preferences > General there's a button to reset preferences.

What version of macOS are you using?
You need to have the Type layer active to see the bounding box.
For example, if you double click on the type layer in the layers panel, then hold down the Cmd key, do you see the bounding box?
Or if click at the end of the text in the document area, as if you were going to add more text, then hold down the Cmd key, do you see the bounding box?
