On my 1098-T it won' t let me input the value for Box 1. It says I already inputted it, but I have not. There's not even the box available to type into and does not show the value for which it claims I already inputted.

so this is what I see it never gives me the acual 1098T place to input all info...I had done 1 earlier in the day then turbo tax did an update??? could that have been the problem??

You are on the right path. You have not reached the 1098-T screen yet. Leave that screen blank if you did not pay for any books and supplies, then select continue. See my post and images from above.

Try this and see if this helps.  I understand some steps may be repetitive but it should fix whatever is going on and let you continue working on your return.

Go to the input section for the 1098-T.
You will probably skip to the section titled books and supplies.  Just continue as you probably will not be able to enter any information here.  Just continue through the screen.
Do Not enter any scholarship amounts when it asks if the scholarship is listed in Box 5 of the 1098-T.  We want to avoid potentially doubling up any input already made.  Hit continue instead.
Continue through all the screens.
You may get a message which says you can't maximize because there are no expenses.  Just select continue until it takes you back to the Wages & Income screen.
Now, Go back into the "Education Credit" section.
Select "Edit" next to the student.
It will ask you if you had an education credit and show you the summary.
Select "Edit" to the right of Tuition.
It will ask you if you received a 1098-T.  Select Yes and continue.
The next page should show you your input on the 1098-T.
