Office Product Key will not work (A505)

I just bought a Satelitte A505-s6005 two days ago. I've tried all of the suggestions to get Office 2007 working as a trial version, but no luck.
Every path I try asks me to install Office and nothing gives me a simple activation key.
Any ideas?

Well, I was down to having about 9 more times to open Word. I was worried I would not be able to do my grad school work this weekend.
Thankfully, I found a key in Fixya that worked. So, problem solved for now.

Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7

I received a product key for Windows 7 Professional N whilst I was at University via Dreamspark. I'm building a new computer and when it's come to inputting the product key, it comes up saying Product key will not work with this edition of Windows 7.
The version I installed was Windows 7 Professional using an iso and a USB. I rang the phone activation number and when I got through to a representative, I gave him the product key and he said it is valid and should be working. He transferred me to technical
services but instead I got cut off.
At this point I'm really not sure what the issue is, the key was for Windows 7 Professional N, I installed Windows 7 Professional and customer support confirmed it as a valid key. Am I missing something?

Post your issue to the Windows 7 Genuine Issues forum. Here are the instructions on how to produce a diagnostic:
MGA
Diagnostic Report:
To properly analyze and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once downloaded, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, after a short time, the Continue button will change to a Copy button.
Click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your post.
One
Issue Per Thread:
Most Activation and Validation issues look the same, on the surface, but can have many different causes and fixes. This is why we ask for a diagnostic report and this is also why we ask that you create your own thread for your issue (in other words,
don't post your issue in another person's thread).
It just becomes too complicated to try to troubleshoot multiple different issues in the same thread.

I have an iMac with OS Lion. The Smartart feature for Office for Mac will not work when I am logged on to my personal user account. It works with other user accounts on the same computer, and it works after "safe start". How can I fix the problem?

Lion - 2004 MS Office for Mac will not work

My 2004 version of Microsoft Office for Mac will not work in Lion. I suspect because this is a PowerPC application. My question is this:
Is there any program out there which will map the PowerPC to an Intel format? Other than trying to seel more products, I am surprised that Apple does not supply a mapping program for products made by Microsoft for the Apple devices.

Eric, can you tell me where please? It's not mentioned on the Lion compatibility pages at all. (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html) nor on the 'how to upgrade' page (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/)

I just upgraded to OS 10.8.4 last night and my Office 2011 programs will not work.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to OS 10.8.4 last night and my Office for Mac 2011 programs will not work. To test in safe mode, I shut down my computer, restarted in safe mode to see if I could open any of my word or excel documents, which I was able to do. I restarted, and tried opening an office document (word and excel), which did not work. Does anyone have a solution to this? I cannot revert back to OS 10.8.3 because I did not use Time Machine. Any help will be appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; } | open -f -a TextEdit
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' | open -f -a TextEdit
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null | open -f -a TextEdit
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' | open -f -a TextEdit
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Visio professional 2013 cant install because office product key does not match

Settings: office 2007 on windows 7
I'm the IT manager for a small consulting company. We use the full microsoft stack - all paid for.
When one of the consultants needed visio we went along and bought an digital version of it.
We installed it and all was nice and dandy.
The consultant left the company, we decommissioned the visio product from his laptop which was then recomissioned to a new employee without the visio.
Another consultant is now in need of visio. When trying to install visio according to the instructions we are asked to activate the office account on this specific laptop.
We then get a message that this office Product key is activated through another Microsoft account please log out and log in with that account?
We are using the exact same procedure as when installing the visio the first time (the visio sw is not installed or used on any other machine).
We have a multi license (volume) windows and office agreement with product keys.
AND WE ARE STUCK - SPENDING MORE TIME ON THIS THAN IT WOULD ACTUALLY COST US TO BUY ANOTHER Visio license!
I've used Microsoft / windows / office throughout my career but this just is not professional!
Please help – To me this is not a support issue that I should spend support money on. We have purchased all products and we cannot get it to work.

Hi,
From your description, you had a digital version of Visio professional 2013, it was a retail version. Please give me the whole error message when you
activate Visio.
As far as I know, we need to uninstall Visio professional 2013 online( keep connection with internet),then we could re-install and activate it. If you uninstall
it from consultant' laptop offline, it'll store the product key in the laptop.
I recommend you activate a Microsoft product by using Microsoft Product Activation Center

CS6 Photoshop; Shortcut Action Key will not work

On my Mac I have Adobe Photoshop installed and I created an action for a watermark for my images.
It works just fine when I manually press the play button, however the shortcut key, that I've assinged as Shift + F2, will not work. I've tried different combinations and nothing is working.
Any suggestions on what I can do to so it will work?

Figured it out, it's because I had to press fn along with Shift + F2

Wireless key will not work

I just moved my mac mini to my new apartment and my wireless keyboard will not work. My man mini model is A1103. The problem is that I need to type in a password to get on my mac to get to the bluetooth config screen. So I'm stuck at the login screen with a keyboard that just blinks. Its also my TV so im goin nuts. PLZ help.

If you know someone with an USB keyboard, borrow it and use it to input the password. It doesn't need to have been made by Apple or designed to be used with a Mac.

Microsoft Office Word 2007 product key does NOT work

Hello,
my laptop model is Satellite - A505-S6980 and I've been using Microsoft Word but everytime I use it, it prompts me to enter a product key. Which I found on the bottom of my laptop and it is saying its invalid and after 25 times that I try to access microsoft word I will no longer be able to use the features it has. What should I do? if its the correct product key where can I find it? my microsoft word was already installed in my laptop so I do not have a CD. I've also already tried searching through microsoft forums and tried some stuff but it is not helping.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

that is because the product key on the bottom of the laptop is for windows not office. the office that was installed on your laptop is a 60 day trial so if it has been that long you will need to buy it. if you dont want to buy it you can try open office which is almost the same and free. if you do want to buy it i believe if you buy 2007 you will get a free upgrade to 2010 but you would have to check on the microshaft site. 2010 comes out in june

Satellite - randomly the arrow keys, question mark key and z key will not work

Sometime the arrow keys, question mark and z key work fine (like now) and sometimes they just don't work at all (like a minute ago). I will just be typing and they will work and then just stop working, then work again. They either all work or all do not work. This has been happening since about a week after I got the computer. It is so annoying. Can you please help me fix this problem? I have a Satellite T135-S1309.
Many thanks.

Hi,
I've posted recently about keyboard problem, and have tried everything as everybody else, finally and oddly :-) the solution for my problem was to reconnect little flat cable that connects keyboard and MB :-D shown in step 10 on the following link:
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-X205/take-apart-laptop-2.htm
..so maybe your keyboard somehow strangely detached itself from mother-board just a bit and started creating all sorts of strange problems as mine... one cable line was without contact because flat cable was not attached properly anymore and mentioned keys stop working... I have also downloaded keyboard tester software that helped me find all keys and combination of keys that stop working ... so guys, try that and good luck!

OEM Product Key will not activate

Hey,
Recently my HP laptop had some hardware issues and i had to get the parts replaced. Thereafter I tried reinstalling windows and activating but not being able to do so. I contacted MS Support earlier and told them what happened, we troubleshooted for about an hour and he told me that because the parts were replaced the Key is pointing at the old hardware Product ID's and that he could try override it. That however also failed. He then said that I should contact HP for a replacement key.
I can't find my laptop in the support section and I've decided to post in the forums instead.
If anyone can help me i'll really appreciate it.
Thanks

This seems identical to the problems I'm having. I get a message from MS every time I boot up that states my copy of WIndows is "not genuine". Two days with MS led to the statement that I must contact HP for a new product key. They didn't know why it wasn't working, but after reading this thread I'll bet I do: I replaced my HDDs with SSDs.
The "system" screen shows that my software is 'activated' but that's apparently not good enough. I can enter my product key into the appropriate screen, and am then again told that the key is good and windows is activated. But - the error message from MS continues to ignore. As I understand the message, I won't be able to get product updates until this is resolved.
Any help gratefully accepted!

OK put this way HP doesn't own the Product Key only MS can help you with that and you must contact them if your not using the Product Key that came with the O/S install. Beyond that HP can't help you obtain a Product Key.

I installed windows 7, I restarted my computer with the install disk still in and it made me reinstall but my product key would not work anymore.

So I had installed windows 7, but I didn't know how to go back to the os-x so I just turned my computer off then back on but it stayed on windows but asked me to install. I'm guessing it was because the install cd was still in the disk drive. So when i started the installation process again I got to the point where I had to type in my product key but because I had already used it my product key was unavailable. So I'm wondering if there's a way to get my product key to work again. I called microsoft tech support and they told me that I had to talk to someone at apple and I'd like to at all costs avoid paying 50$ to be told to call microsoft.

you didn't read the manual or even look or understand the default keyboard assignments
x = Mac OS X
Option key = boot manager
Apple drivers in Windows includes one just like in OS X System Preferences to handle OS Switcher control panel part of "boot camp" control panel (over used term that tends to mislead and confuse)

Volume keys will not work with incoming calls on headphones

So the headphone that came with my iPhone 4s, and others of the same type I have used, will not allow me to lower the volume of the caller. I would be listening to my music or something, it could even be at 50% volume, however the incoming call pushes it to 100% and will not allow for my headphone or iPhone volume control turn down the call. I have to unplug my headphones and just talk on the phone its self in order to turn down the volume.
This problem was first noticed in iOS 6, and is contiued into iOS 7. I do not recal it happening in iOS 5.

TTY was on after going through the settings one by one. They need to explain what TTY is within the settings menu. I have been useing TTY for 2 years now not knowing it.
