Can I use voice over just for notifications?

i Want to use voice over but just so I can hear my notifications and messages read to me as they come in. But nothing else. Is it possible. ?

Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
1. I wiped it
2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
3. It registered
4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.

when I use voice over to read an epub in my Ibooks app, which is in Dutch, sometimes he start reading a book with an English Female voice and some books he reads with the Dutch male voice (which is good). All my epubs are Dutch books so the English voice sound terrible trying to pronounce Dutch. Can i fix this problem? Thanks, Tom

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

IPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

My daughter's iPod is using voice over and won't scroll. What setting did my child click? It will allow me to use voice control, but i need to know what's wrong first so I can give the correct command.

VoiceOver is an Accessibility feature while Voice Control allows you to control the Music app via voice.
To turn off VoiceOver triple click the Home button and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off. Use three fingers to scroll if necessary.

Welcome to the Apple community.
iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

Interference/ Crackling sound while using voice over...

Hi folks.
I'm new to all this "ipod-stuff". I purchased a ipod nano 5G (16GB) lately.
I was playing around with the voice over settings today and accidently discovered the following:
I plugged the ipod to an ipod compatible receiver (Pioneer VSX-918 V) via the ipod-usb cable. The ipod was recognized without any problems and the receiver took over the ipod-controls. So far so good.
It is possible to change the settings of the receiver, that it won't take over the ipod-control, so i can operate my ipod the "normal way" via scrollwheel/ ipod-menu and so on...
While i was playing a song, i accidently pushed the center button and the ipod started to read out the current song and faded out the song itself just a little. While reading out I got a crackling interference like a bad tuned radio station, which stopped after the ipod had finished reading out the song.
I tried the whole thing again, this time I paused the song and pushed the center-button for voice over. The ipod red out the current song with any interference...
I tried again, plugged in plugged out, restart and so on...you know the deal. :/ Nothing changed...
What's going on here?
Receiver bad? ipod bad? Voice over is kinda crappy anyway, but is here something wrong with a chip or something?
The german apple support couldn't help either and told me that this behaviour is normal, 'cause the voice over "voices" are kinda bad.
Summary:
Connected via USB to the receiver:
Crackling while playing a song and activating voice over...
No crackling while pausing playback and activating voice over...
No crackling while playing songs without using voice over...
Connected via 3,5 mm audio jack to any device/ earphones:
No interference at all.
greetings

Thx for helping me on this, i really appreciate that.
The "crackling problem" is gone, but i got another one.
I got a more or less loud "popping sound" when skipping tracks forward or backward, or when i manually select a track from a list and the ipod starts playing it.
At first i didn't really realize it via the headphones from apple, since they aren't very good but it's there, too.
But playing songs via my hifi-system i became pretty aware of that "initializing" like sound.
I resetted my ipod via the method told on the apple support page (Hold on/off -->Menu/Centerbutton) and updated it in iTunes again, but it didn't go away.
Greetings

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help.

Using Voice Over in the ios5 music app, when tapped into an album there is no way to back out of it except by switching off voice over! Help. This is preventing me upgrading the iPad2 to iOS5 for a blind man I work with. Am I missing something or is it a bug?

here is a link to macosxhints.com that tells you how to output all of your feed URLs to a terminal window. from there you can cut and paste them into your new feed reader of choice...
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396
and if you are in the marked for a new reader may i suggest David Watanabe's excellent NewsFire. he had just recently made it totally free as a gift to the macintosh community.
best of luck.

Copy and paste using Voice Over

Hello,
I use Voice Over on Leopard 10.5 and am having problems using cut, copy, and paste via Finder.
1. Command+X for cut never seems to work. The CUT option in the Finder edit menu is always dimmed.
2. Finder seems to always hang if I paste a file into a folder which contains a file with the same name as the file I am trying to paste. Sometimes, but not always, I get an Alert with buttons to replace the file or to stop the copy. Alas using vo keys + SpaceBar or even vo keys + Shift + SpaceBar to activate either of these buttons never seems to work.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is there a Leopard bug here?
Many thanks.

To quote an old joke, "it's not a bug, it's a feature!"
The Finder does not allow you to Cut an object. `This is because if there were a crash during the operation, the object might be lost both from its source and its destination. You simply have to copy the object (Command-C), then paste it (Command-V), then return to the source folder and delete the object.

Here the procedure requires you to interact with the Alert dialogue box three times in a row. After the first interaction, you hear "Interact with. List operation progress, group"; after the second time, you hear "Interact with. Operation progress, group, 3 items unknown"; after the third time, you hear "Interact with. Unknown. 3 items. An item named (filename) already exists in this location. Do you want to replace it with the one you're moving?". You can then navigate once right to the Stop button, or twice to the Replace button.

After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls

After upgrade to ios5.0.1 i can't use voice calls - people simply do not hear me. Microphone seems to echo sound back instead of sending it over. Ideas?

Try "resetting" the device...
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Driving Automator using Voice Over

Hello,
I am visually impaired and so use Voice Over for all MAC access. I am trying to create a workflow to speak the current time. Using Voice Over without sighted assistance I can access the required actions and variables but alas I cannot fathom out how to combine the actions into a workflow. I cannot find an edit area or whatever where I can view the actions so far and move them around as necessary.The MacHelp tells me to drag and drop the necessary actions and variables into the panel on the right (or words like that) but, of course, I cannot do that using Voice Over. I tried copy and paste but to no effect, primarily because I could not find the place to paste the actions into.
So if anyone has successfully driven Automator using Voice Over without sighted help then please pass on your tips!
Many thanks.

All I can suggest is to look at the instructions in the Users Guide. There is a lot on VoiceOver. See chapter 31 of

Set up a new macbook pro without using voice over

How do I set up a new MacBook Pro without using Voice Over. I can't get past the initial Welcome screen. The VO commands do not work as indicated in the forced tutorial.

Just click the Next and or Continue button. Voice over only starts shortly after you get to one of those screens and you wait to long to input something or click on an option and then Next or Continue. I think at the bottom of the screen there is an option to turn off the Voice over.

Using voice over with genius

I'm using voice over and I can't get my iPod to move through the genius mixes even though they're synced to it. It just stays on page 1/12 and won't go any farther into the list of mixes available. Any ideas on what to do?

Can I use voice recognition software with Pages?

Can I use voice recognition software with Pages?

Apple provides Dictation services as part of OS X that must be enabled in System Preferences, and then activated while in the Pages document. Then you can speak and it will type what it thinks you said. It is learning software, and over time, better recognizes your voice pattern.
Then there is Dragon Naturally Speaking for nearly $200 USD.
