ICal wont pick up my MS Office 2010/iPhone calendar

Bit of a problem!! Need help!!
Recently bought a MacBook Pro, but now cant get my MS Outlook calendar (syncing by MS exchange settings to my iPhone and Windows work mobile phone) into iCal.
MS Outloook (on work laptop - with no admin rights - everything locked down) sync's fine with my iPhone (as above due to MS exchange settings), but also need the same calendar in iCal.
Any ideas how to achieve this? Entering the same MS exchange settings (used on my iPhone and Windows work phone) to the iCal settings on my MacBook does not work.
Was tempted to try the Genius bar, but in my experience once you mention anything MS they have no clue, so hoping someone here can help.
Any ways around this much appreciated.

i wish there was a solution. i'm a computer tech and i have 2 clients with windows 7 and outlook 2010 with this problem. i've contacted both apple and microsoft and both blame the other for the problem. i haven't been able to find any answers on the forums either.

ICal on Mac Pro will not sync to iPhone calendar

iCal-to-iPhone calendar sync seems to be busted. If I create an event on iCal on my Mac Pro (running OS X, 10.7.5), the Calendar app on my iPhone 4s (Model A 1387, running iOS 7.0.4) will not show it.
It used to sync fine, using either WiFi or plug-in. Now? Nada. Not Wi-Fi. Not via direct plug-in. The phone calendar remains undisturbed by any of my attempts to keep up-- which pretty much defeats much of its purpose. I've seen many posts on this subject, but I have not noticed my particular issue: that an iPhone that used to sync flawlessly now won't sync at all. The only variables are version upgrades in OS X and iOS. Any ideas?

Hey McDougal,
Were you syncing direct with iTunes or going via iCloud?
Changes in iOS 7 means that there is no longer an 'info' tab in iTunes to sync your calendar there so you have to use iCloud.
I suggest you start here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999
Good luck.

How to get custom iCal colors to carry over to iPad or iPhone calendars

How do I get custom calendar colors designated on my iMac to carry over to my iPad or iPhone? It used to do so, and now it no longer does.

Thanks Joe. We have discovered from this forum, actually, that if you send the photos from the iPhone, if that's where they were taken, then you are asked what size.
"If you send from the camera, then you get the option of reducing the size. If you send from your other photos synced from your computer, they don't have that option of reducing."
I tested it by sending a couple of photos taken by my iPhone, and sure enough, was asked as to size. Then sent the same two photos from my iPad (Photostream) and was not asked. Interestingly though, the sizes were identical in both emails.

Office 2010 deployment - wont apply custom .MSP file

Hi all,
I am creating a new deployment environment for our company and having some issues with Office and adminfiles.
I basically cannot get setup to apply the custom MSP file from my network share, either using MDT application deployment, nor manually using the command prompt once the machine has been built.
I was also informed by several documents that any patches (which I assume to be MSP's and MSU's) that are present in the \Updates\ folder during setup will automatically be applied. This does NOT happen for me. It completely ignores my MSP when it's in there.
The error I get when trying to parse the admin file is pretty basic. It just says: "path or file specified with /adminfile did not contain any patches"
This is the command i'm using: setup.exe /adminfile "Updates\mymsp.MSP"
I've also tried using the full path: setup.exe /adminfile "\\domain\server\apps\office\updates\mymsp.msp"
None of that works.
Any ideas??
NB. It DOES work when I copy the MSP file to a local disk and execute from there. That adds an unnecessary manual step to my builds though, which I want to be completely automated. It also means I have to create a batch file to copy it locally first.

Hi Greg,
do you use a config.xml?
Yes: Please add the following line to the config.xml:
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
No: Please create an empty config.xml and copy&paste the following line:
<Configuration Product="ProPlusr">
<Logging Type="Verbose" Path="%TEMP%" Template="Office_2010_ProfessionalPlus_Install(*).txt" />
</Configuration>
The above lines are customized for Office 2010 ProfessionalPlus. Then run the setup again, include the config.xml-file:
setup.exe /adminfile path\file.msp /config path\config.xml
The setup should write an extensive log to the temp-folder (%temp%). The logfile will show you, if setup can locate the specified msp-file and is able to parse it. If it does not work out, post the logfile here.

Office 2010 home and student

I am setting up a business that will depend on me being to change websites and some othern things so I really have multiple questions.
    First. This is a very sophisticated Sales system that is using multiple computers. I have Dell Desktop. Windows 8.1 full version. Dell Latitude LTE 8.1 that is an upgrade from 8.0. Nokia 2010 phone that I have seen both ways. It has the
Black upgrade but one site I was on said I did not have 8.1 and one said I did ( I think that was the Microsoft ) store. And then I am using a Garmin GPS. I have to have trip software and it needs to load multiple addresses. This was for me for my sales territory
but I think that is about to change.
   I have Office 2010 that is not a very old version but keeps coming up and saying it wants its product Key. I put it in and it checks out OK asks me to get out of office and reenter and it will run OK. I do that and it just keeps doing the same
thing. This happened after loading the new 8.1.
    This is going to be a business application but the system took me almost a year. I am in project Sienna and have a visual trial.
That I am learning to use. This is going to be business so I need business approval. I am determining if I need developers tools or not. I like developing but I have projects that are already developed and I am not really interested in developing for
the store. I am going to probably run several web sites. One for Youtube and One for you.
   Plan is to help you both with Mapping. I am kind of an odd associate but I have witnessed the interest from you and Google on my mapping. I use the Dell tablet for PDF catalogs and Pricing and then The GPS to get me there. The
desktop for geosinking addresses and a lot of office paper work. The phone has multiple uses. The camara,quick emails, and aps that has all kinds of uses.
This is not a fluke I have been working on this for 20 years. The tablets just wont do the job. 2 pounds to heavy,2" to large,2 minutes to slow on boot and it looks like a computer and the older guys don't like it. The tablet changed all that.
With that said I will be trying to contact your Mapping Division and see if they need me. The system is very difficult to install. Four different computers must talk to each other about the same thing and multiple small problems arise and must be solved. I
can only at most do 2 systems a month and depending on their equipment they have and want to use maybe only 1. This is to important for that. It saves 2 1/2 hours a day for people who must find a lot of addrsses. That was unexpected. It happens all day long.
The GPS is saving 10 minutes here and 20 minutes there and ends up saving at least 2 hours a day. Now the icing on the cake. I made 15 calls in one day between 9:00AM and 3:30 PM. These were leisurely calls. When I leave in about 4 days they are going
to luv me. What I realized while testing this was that most of the stress from an outside sales job was just getting there. When you take that stress off of that job it goes back to being a fun job that is fun to do. You punch the button on the GPS and it
will go from call to call for as long as you want and pick back up the next day from where you left off. I tried both the phones and tablets for mapping but those really would only work for finding an address here and there. You overload the phone and the
tablet to try to combine a very sophisticated trip program with them. The tablet would have a very hard time being mounted on the dash and then you pull it out of its mounting to go in and make a call with it. Then try to Email your order in and then put it
back in the mounting to use as a GPS. The same problem with the phone. It has a very important job with what it does and is overloaded for really a lot of reasons to give it the mapping. Again it would be fine and actually very good to go find one address
but to start trying to get it to do industrial numbers of calls is just asking to much of one unit. GPS has serious job to do. It is left in the car while you are making the call. It is ready to go when you get back in the car. This is an industrial system
with serious attempst to save time and money and improve the lives of the people using it. Kindest,Larry Don
PS this is to important for me to go out 1 account a month with. This will enhance the whole computer industry and needs to be with the big boys and girls that can put together a serious marketing program behind it. Please get this to the right people.

Is it time yet for Microsoft to "Recall" Office 2013 and provide anyone who has a 2013 license a replacement Office 2010 license?

The interface is terrible and can't be changed. Every application in the suite locks up/crashes nearly constantly on any machine it is used on. The activation process is terrible and wastes hours of any support/IT dept's time. From a 'privacy
standpoint', the software is seemingly criminally intrusive. It is clearly a product that should never have been released and is so far from functional that it can't be repaired by any 'service pack', 'hotfix', or 'patch'. It needs to be completely
scrapped.
The only 'redeeming quality' of this software is that the guy who was in charge of creating it is gone from Microsoft. (Unfortunately, he is now President Obama's appointee for running the attempt at repairing the 'healthcare.gov' website...
out of the frying pan... )
When the software is installed using one profile (domain or machine account) and a different profile tries to use the software, it requires 're-activation' - which often fails because the software believes it has been installed multiple times. (This is particularly
frustrating because it has to be installed by an administrative user, but most of the time, the person who 'uses' the software is not the 'administrator' - so it is almost always being 'installed' using one profile and 'used' using another profile).
The necessary intrusion into privacy created by the requirement of a "Microsoft Account" to use the software is seemingly criminal.
The tracking of, and installation of licenses is absolutely ridiculous.
An example:
Many of my clients have many users and many computers (up to 75 or so).
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'user', but these machines get moved between users, and the software license is tied to the 'machine' and not to the 'user' so as soon as that happens, the licenses and the users are no longer
in line and become impossible to track.
I could create a "Microsoft User Account" for each 'computer'... and I can't even count the ways this would be a nightmare to try to track.
I actually did that up front for one client, and created Exchange email boxes for each computer so that "prove you are really you" emails from Microsoft could be received managed, and responded to, and passed out second usernames and passwords
to all of the users so they could "log-in" to their Office 2013 software, and created a database of the 'computer usernames and passwords' so I could track this... unfortunately, this confused the users (as it rightfully should) so they would change
the passwords for their computer's 'Microsoft User Account' thus locking me out and invalidating my database, ... and... CLUSTERF#%K!!!
As a 'best - worst case', I have had to create a single 'Microsoft User Account" for each of my clients' businesses so I can install and activate Office 2013 products. This is a whole new set of "Awesome Stupidity".
Now, I can put a new computer into a client's office and install their new license key for their oem Office 2013, and it shows up in the 'business's Microsoft User Account'. Then when I give the machine to the user, I get to 're-activate' the software
(hoping that it doesn't tell me to piss-off - which happens about 40% of the time. This is a process that can only be described as a "feat of engineering created by a group of monkeys whose former jobs included 'janitor at MAD magazine headquarters'
or 'beer-pong referee').
It starts with two hours of pressing phone buttons and ultimately talking to someone who tells me "yeah, nothin' I can do about that I'm just here for product activation" (which, incidentally, is done by machine until you pass through MS's ridiculous
labyrinth of repetitious keystroking until the machine is convinced you are just too stupid to punch in the right numbers and allows you to talk to a person... who then asks you for the exact same set of numbers and repeats back the exact same responding set
of numbers and acts dumbfounded when it still doesn't work - since it didn't work the first six times you punched or said it into the phone) followed by "I need to send you to the support group... but because it's 6:30 pm (in a process you started at
3:00pm) they are gone for the day and you'll have to call back on Monday morning"
At some point in the process, you get to log into the "Microsoft user account" and 'roll the roulette wheel of stupidity' by trying to activate the right software from a list of 40 different lines that all say "Microsoft Office 2013 Home and
Business oem", but none give any indicator or differentiating factor like for instance: license key, date installed, license key last 4 digits, mother's maiden name, phase of moon when software was first activated, color or type of blood of the user's
paperboy's dog's previous owner... NOTHING... RANDOM FREAKING STAB IN THE DARK - pick one, any one, hope its the license you are trying to install onto this machine, 'cause if not, you very well may kill the product on some other machine.
So through the process, the lucky support staff person gets' to waste roughly an hour and a half on average for every Microsoft Office 2013 installation. I have actually had to start telling my clients that they are going to likely have to pay an extra
$100 or so per machine in order to get their new Microsoft Office software which comes on their new computer activated - that number tends to work out roughly accurately - except that it is a terrible way of trying to 'please a client'.
Oh,... and did I mention... "THE SOFTWARE CONSISTANTLY FAILS"!?!
A client tries to open a document that they have been using for 8 years and Excel doesn't say "Hey, I don't know how to deal with some element of the file that you put in here using Excel 2003, or Office 2010 (both products, by the way, which worked
great) - no... instead,... it crashes. Doesn't really do any damage to the file it choked on, but the work you'd been doing on three other files which you also had open,... yeah,... that work is gone.
Yeah,.... over time, I have developed a pretty consistent spiel for client's needing new computers that goes over how absolutely terrible Office 2013 is, and explains that our options are further limited by Microsoft's yanking of all Office 2010 or previous
products from market availability, and explaining the merits of both LibreOffice and OpenOffice, as well as their drawbacks. I also have a strangely static response explaining how "larger companies are not burdened by these issues because they are
able to use MOPL which allows them to downgrade their productivity software to Office 2010 so they can continue to function happily, but this is really not a cost effective solution for smaller companies who primarily buy oem Office products with their replacement
computers".
Unfortunately, many clients still decide they want to go with Office 2013 because they apparently believe "it really can't be that bad". The value in my 'presale descriptions' are only really realized when they come back to me a week, two
weeks, or up to a month after the new machine is in place and say "wow,... you were right". The place I am left open for any further problems is when I don't impress upon them beforehand just HOW BAD OFFICE 2013 REALLY IS. In that case,
they still come back to me as though I have done something wrong foe selling them this piece of $#!% software and I have to remind them of our previous discussions.
Strangely, far too few heed the warnings and buy the software anyway - but the discussion has saved many clients the costs of Microsoft Project, because the discussion of LibreOffice and OpenOffice nearly always leads to at least a small philosophical conversation
about 'Open Source Software' in general, and my absolute favorite descriptive analogy in that discussion is to compare Microsoft Project at $600 v. ProjectLibre at $0 - and then further describe the costs of licensing and implementing the associated back-end
server solutions, etc.
This is a saving grace for me, because even though the client has been saddled with Office 2013, they have also saved substantially on Project and it is a rare (but granted, not absolutely absent) occasion that ProjectLibre is lacking some feature or function
that they actually need or want to use - and on those occasions, finding out has cost them absolutely nothing in software purchases.
Its not surprising, I suppose, that clients have grown to accept Office as a required 'cost', but still choke heavily on the price-tag of Project every time they have to buy it. The interesting thing to watch over the coming couple of years will be
'how many businesses stop accepting MS Office as a 'required cost' due to the failing of the software itself and the fact that most are being burned, at least once, by purchasing the software "against technical advice" and are learning, merely by
virtue of HOW BAD Office is, that there are other options out there that both cost less and work better... I mean,... LOTS BETTER.
How many businesses that are used to accepting the cost of Microsoft Office as a cost of doing business will be moved over to open source options and satisfied by them by the time Microsoft releases its next version - which will, presumably work - such that
they will no longer justify the cost of Microsoft's offering even if it is 'superior' to the open source offerings because the open source offerings are plenty sufficient and include a price tag of $0 and an installation/implementation time that is much, much
shorter than Microsoft's offering.
If Microsoft doesn't make some dramatic reparations, and do it soon, I expect their market share will be reduced in this area by a very significant margin.
I am suggesting either a 'Complete Recall' of Office 2013 including an 'uninstall 2013/install 2010' process driven by the automatic update engine, or at the very least, a free and easy downgrade rights offering for anybody who has already purchased 2013
and anyone who purchases it between now and the time the next "functional product" is released.

I understand the inconvenience you are experiencing when working with Office 2013.
If you have any feedback about Office 2013 product, click the and submit to Microsoft.
Microsoft will decide how to fix the problem for all customers.
For the activation mechanism, it intends to protect customers of their rights and interests.
For a retail version of Office, if it was purchased with a disk, Microsoft account is not necessary during the installation.
For volume license of Office, refer to the following link to deploy Office suites can be much efficient:

Migrating to office 365/Win 8.1 from Office 2010/Win 7.0 the Outlook Personal folders are missing.

In Office 2010 I had emails archived into private data file personal folders/subfolders under Outlook 2010. My Office 2010 installation was wiped out when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. The outlook.pst files are still available. When I installed
Office 365 on my Windows 8.1 system, Outlook 365 picked up the .pst and populated the Inbox and Sent folders, but the archived email personal folders are not present, and also the contacts folder is empty. I haven't been able to figure out where on the hard
drive the personal folders were actually archived (in Office 2010 ) or if Office 365 will even support showing these personal folders.

Problem solved. I found a separate .pst file in my backups that contained the personal folders and the contacts. This file wasn't in the Win 8.1 documents\outlook files folder. So two .pst files are needed; one for the emails and the other for the personal
folders.

How can i use MS Word 2013 Templete in MS office 2010

I have a situation where I have to able to give the Word templete to the customer who is using MS Office 2010 as well as 2013.
Now i have created a word templete (added schema reference from xml Mapping menu) using MS office 2013.When i try to do changes on word document in MS 2010.It is not finding the schema reference.
Note :
Just downgraded our Office suite from 2013 to 2010 on our terminal server to find out that I cannot make changes to the default templates in the 2010 version because it’s an older word doc and it wont save the
content controls, when I make a change and save it. It wants to upgrade to a .docx each time and this app doesn’t seem to look for the .docx
Can any one suggestion me why word templete not having schema reference if I open the doc in Ms office 2010.
And How can i make it work with both in Ms office 2010 & 2013.
Thanks,

Word 2013 documents work fine in Word 2010, 2007, and 2003, for that matter. Word 2013-specific features do not work in those earlier versions.

How to install office 2010 on bootcamp windows 7

Hi,
I purchased office 2010 for home and business. I have to download the software from the net, but when I do, I can't run the installation. I double click the icon, then it askes me specify the program I want to use... First of all, I don't know what software to pick and secondly I find the question strange. Shouldn't it run automatically ?
the real issue is that I want to use SolidWorks on my Mac. I have done so for the last year, but without the use of excel. Solidworks needs excel the perform certain functions.
Help !

I have installed Office for Mac 2011 on my iMac. And windows via bootcamp to work with the program called SolidWorks. But in order to use it's full potential I need to have excel (office) as well. The program doesn't find or see that office for mac is installed. Is it because it is installed on the other part of the hard drive or ... ?
I'm going to investigate what you call 'run it natively' and come back to let you know if I got it right.

ITunes 9.2, MS Office 2010 & iOS4... duplicate calendar. How to remove one?

I just upgraded to Microsoft Office 2010 (I had 2007).
When I sync my iPhone to my MS Outlook 2010 I now see two calendars on my iPhone.
In MS Office 2007 and the 3.1.3 FW is was okay. Is this a MS Office 2010 issue.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit , 64 bit of iTunes and 32 bit of MS Office '10 installed.
I tried unticking one Calendar on the 'Info' tab, but that didn't help. Also in the 'Advanced' section to replace information on this iPhone with this calendar wasn't succesful.
Is there a way to remove one calendar on my iPhone?

I tried having all in a 64 bit environment, so:
64-bit of Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit iTunes 9.2 and 64-bit MS Office 2010
than syncing my iPhone in iTunes to my Outlook 2010 calendar but unsuccesful, there is still 2 calendars in my iPhone.
There is only one calendar present in my Outlook 2010.
I have a POP3 account, so NO Exhange, iCal or whatever.
Is there a way as to delete one calendar from my iPhone (it's the same as the other)?
I know that when using MS Office 2007 I only had one calendar, so I think Office 2010 has something to do with it.
(btw, I now reverted back to MS Office 2010 32-bit)

Office 2010 from pc to mac? possible?

Ok so i have been a windows user for years, i recently decided to purchase a mac. so far so good but i was wondering if its possible to transfer the microsoft office 2010 license to my mac without having to purchase the software again. I wont be using office on the pc anymore. and even if i do i have 2 licenses.
i called microsoft but their only answer is basically to purchase office for mac.(i expected this answer since they want to make the money)
maybe someone knows how to do this. maybe its just not possible. please comment.

The response is accurate. If you want to dedicate to Mac moving forward it would not hurt to call MSoft and ask if you can "surrender" your Windows version and pay (or for free) get a Mac Copy. Sometimes they are very friendly at these companies. This worked with Adobe for me when move Acrobat Pro from Win to Mac.
I am very spoiled with Office at my age unfortunately so the open source programs simply don't appeal to me. I pray for the day that Apple's offering of Pages, Keynote, and Numbers are so fluid I can dump M$ yet still waiting for that.

I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

Project Professional 2013 Installations Fails with Office 2010 installed on Windows 7 x86

When attempting to install Project Professional 2013 Pro (x86) on Windows Professional x86 PC that has Office 2010 ProSp2 installed client getting an error message at the end of the installation "Project 2013 has encountered an error during setup".
I have gotten the installer to work on x64 PC with Office 2010 installed. (Something worth noting that even thought I set the reboot to prompt its automatically reboots without warning but, appears to be working.) I also tried using the OTC, custom XML
file and just running setup.exe and get the error no matter what. When looking in the logs I there are MSI installer error with an error: Product:
Microsoft Project Professional 2013 - Update '{A6FFA77F-C1C1-43D3-A2C7-6A5B68138D9F}' could not be installed. Error code 1603. Windows Installer can create logs to help troubleshoot issues with installing software packages. Use the following link for
instructions on turning on logging support: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23127
Without having to uninstall Office 2010 what do I need to modify in the installer to get it to Project 2013 Pro to install on the x86 machine?
Thanks

Hi,
Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
these are the issues I've seen:
Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"logging"= "voicewarmup"

Is there a 64 bit Plug-in availalbe for Office 2010?

I would like to be able to open and edit MS Office documents using Office 2010 when the documents reside in SkyDrive. The only plug-in I can find is for a 32 bit applications and it wont download to my PC which is running Windows 8.1 64 bit. Can anyone help?

Firefox is always a 32 bit application (even on 64 bit Windows), so you need a 32 bit version of a plugin to make it work with Firefox.

instructions anywhere so am posting a new question. How do I update the KMS key for Office 2010? What commands do I need to run?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply. That got me a little further. I updated my EES agreement this summer and got new keys, so thought maybe that was the issue with Office giving me the "This copy of Microsoft Office is not activated." when launching any Office
product. I installed and activated the new key now but am still getting the same error in Office. The error code it gives me is 0xc004f074. Looking into that error it looks like a KMS issue. These were activating fine last year and I haven't made any changes
except just updating the key today, but it was doing this before that.
Here is what was returned before updating the key:

I appreciate your willingness to help me with this issue and if you can offer any further insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
EDIT: I removed all of the ID numbers as I don't know if they mean anything to anyone else or not.
