How do I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked?

How can I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked? I accidentally activated it on my mum's ipad and now she's panicking! Haven't been able to put in her password so a little bit of help asap would be appreciated. Tried double tapping the passcode in but still didn't work! Thanks

How did you turn it on, via Settings or a triple-click of the home button ? You could try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling ; so to type a digit of the passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it and then double-tap it to type it) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

Voice Over Error Message

Suddenly, FCE 1.0.1 displays this error message when activating the voice over tool "The specified capture destination file already exists." Is there a simple remedy?

Try assigning the VO to a track other than an existing one. This can be done when the VO window first opens.

Why is the voice over working on my nano, although I have reset and disabled it?

Occasionally, the voice over on my ipod nano 7th Gen. would interfere with my music playing. It interrupts songs with saying the song title, band names, things like "Top 25," "My Top Rated," "25 Most Played," etc. In addition, the fast foreward function would sometimes run while I am playing music, although I did not engage it. The music also pauses, skips, and plays without my choice. I have tried disabling voice over and resetting my nano, but the issue persists.How can I stop this from happening, or how may I procceed get this fixed?

Voice over is silent during playback

I recorded voice over, it appeared in it's purple window with the level visible, but when I played back, the sound was silent - oddly, it reduced the other tracks to 15%, I could hear the other tracks (music, etc.), but not the voice over.

Try exporting all of your audio from the project using Compressor's Audio Format > AIFF 48/16. Listen it to and see if everything is there.
If so, Duplicate your final Sequence and delete all the audio. Then pull the .aiff into the timeline and re-export using Compressor to whatever you want.
Hope that works <smile>

Voice over always on - How can I shut if off?

somehow, voiceover has decided to turn itself, and I can't shut it off....
Disabling voice over in the universal access system preference does not shut it off.
Deleting the user's universal access preference plist as well as voice over's preference plist does not shut it off
Rebooting does not shut it off.
Zapping the PRAM does not shut it off.
How do I stop voiceover from activating itself? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks in advance

command f5 only works until I log in/out or reboot...
When the computer boots up, it does not automatically log in. So, at the the login window on a fresh reboot, voice over has activated itself. Command f5 will shut it off, and when I log into either user account (there are 2 accounts on the machine) voice over is not active. However, as soon as I log out and return to the log in screen, voice over has re-activated itself.
If I reboot from an account (when voice over is not active), then it will be active after the computer boots and while it waits at the login screen...
Thanks!

Voice Over is killing me!

I'm on my 2nd 6th gen Nano with voice over issues. Voice over kicks on, usually when I'm working out or running. I've disabled voice over on itunes and on the device itself . . . actually I didn't need to diable it because it was never enabled! Any other ideas??

Your sweat can cause a short that makes the Nano announce the track you are playing. If you are using a headset with buttons on the wire, try using one that does not have that and see what happens.
If it happens then too, then your sweat is actually getting inside the Nano. This is not good. You need to let it dry out completely then either wear it in a position less susceptable to being exposed to sweat or perhaps a water proof case.

I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

I enable voice over settings on my Ipod Touch 5th gen. I can't disable it anymore. I off my ipod and now i can't open it. It doesn't accept my password. I can't open it anymore.

Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:

Hi, I can not get my iphone 4 voice over function to work. I turn it on and then it turns off automatical. I ok the message the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then turns it off????

I am unable to turn on the voice over function on Iphone 4. The meesage appears informing me of what the functions does, I press ok and the the message stays on the screen for 30 secs or so and then it automatically turns the voice over function "off" - why???? what am I doing wrong?

I just had this same issue. It occured after I joined my school's Wi-Fi. Suddenly, my home ATV2 and iPhone4 weren't on speaking terms. All five other iphones, ipads, and macs were operating as they should. My phone was not. I tried everything: unplugging and restarting ATV2, deauthorizing all my devices and reauthorizing them, deleting and reinstalling remote app, and countless home sharing on and offs on all devices. Finally, I turned the Wi-Fi off and then on in the setting of my iphone. Boom. Situation remedied. I hope this helps.
