Why can't I type text into a Photoshop file?

No matter what I do, or where I've checked, I can't get text to show up on my either jpg or psd version of an image. The text box isn't too small (checked that), text is black on white background (check), even changed fonts to test that. Nothing! Any ideas? I'm working on a PC, Windows 7, CC and/or PSCS6 -- tried them both.

What is the image size?  If you have a large pixel image with a low DPI, for instance, text can be too tiny to see.  In that case, open Image resize > turn off resampling > increase dpi from its probable 72 to something like 300.  Try using a linear size for text as opposed to points.  If your image is 10 inches high, set the text to 1 inch and you know the text should be 1/10th image hieght.
