Help with voice-over on Ipod nano

I'm totally blind and am using the 60g Ipod Nano with voice-over inabled. I am finding though even though the voice speaks the names of the menus, ie music, albums etc it doesn't speak the names of my albums or songs or tracks. What have I done wrong? I've tried connecting and leaving it to see if any voice tags are made, but nothing has happened. Any help would be welcome, it's driving me mad Many thanks from Lori.

Try resetting your iPod.
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Since you are totally blind, perhaps some one can double check your voice over settings to make sure everything is updated.

Help with Voice-over recording - Strange tunnel/underwater effect

Hi there!
To start off, I am a beginner with audio equipment and recording, and very new to Audition. I recently did a voiceover recording in a studio setting, and was helped by an "audio engineer" -- although now I'm wondering if that's true -- because the WAV file we were provided is VERY noticeably off. It sounds like a tunnel, or underwater.
I'm not sure if this file is too far-gone to be able to fix with proper mixing-- I'm posting this in hopes that there is a simple fix, but I realize that this could need to be re-recorded. So any advice is MUCH appreciated.
Here is a clip of the Voice-over: Clip.wav - Google Drive
Thanks in advance!

Hey, J.
It sounds like the two channels of audio in your WAV file have been merged to mono. That's no always a bad thing, but in this case, they are no longer in-phase, so there is some interaction between the two channels. Can you send me the original file via dropbox or google drive to [email protected] for analysis? If the two channels of this stereo .wav are isolated, then you can save this recording by splitting them apart...which I can help you with inside the software.
Cheers,
-ChrisS

Help with where to send ipod nano back if its broken?

My friend bought a green iPod nano from a shop while on holiday in Australia, she's crashed it and now I can't reset it for her. I've tried plugging it into USB port for hours, no sign of life even with a reset (its always worked on this machine before), even after several hours. No sign of it in Windows either.
She can't find a guarantee or any leaflets in the small box, though I assume there must be a standard 12 month warranty with it?
Can this be sent to Apple directly, or does she have to contact the retailer in Australia (we're in UK now).
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know
cheers
Lee

This would be a good place to start.

Help with Voice Over - clean up inspiration

Hi there, I'm recording some audio in my home for a video tutorial. Trouble is I'm getting some nasty sounds and it seems it's taking me forever to clean up the file.
Settings: using the Podcast Voice effect rack, using a blue yeti mic, nothing too professional about it.
Trouble:
- I constantly have to insert silence at the start of each new phrase. The Podcast voice effect even augments the inspiration effect, but even without it's quite obvious;
- My "S"s are really strong, tried deesser, no big hit there
- I constantly make a sound with my lips at the start of each phrase - not sure how to call it.
What can I do to automate the clean up process since I have over 5 hours of recorded audio? I'd like to be able to select a certain sound (like my inspiration) and totally remove it from everywhere. Tried that with the noise print, but didn't help.
If it's not obvious, I'm quite a newbie at this.
Thank you.

It's hard to know where to start with this - but your problem isn't going to be solved by processing. You have to get the source recording done properly, and there's no way around this. If you want your results to sound like a professional production, then you have to approach it the way a professional voice artiste would.
Your initial problem is clearly in your microphone technique. You need to be 7-8" from the microphone, but not speaking directly at it. You want it either slightly above or below your mouth level, and offset to one side slightly - this will reduce a lot of the problems you are picking up, but not all of them. And get, and use, a pop screen.
To fix more of your problems, you are going to have to learn a sensible breathing techique - which invariably involves breathing in more slowly, and through your nose. Lip-smacking almost invariably results from drinking the wrong things (or nothing) before or during your recording session. Basic rules are - no coffee or tea or any other stimulants, and nothing which forms a mucus in your mouth, like milk. Basically, the best thing is to drink nothing but water anywhere near or during the time of your recording session.
Other things you should do include speaking in a controlled manner - make sure that you pronounce the ends of words at the same rate as the starts of them, and leave time to breath slowly between sentences - this also helps your audience to assimilate what you're saying.
Once you've sorted this out, you should end up with no more than a content editing session. As for your 5 hrs of material - well, you won't be able to fix it in a satisfactory manner whatever you do if it's as bad as you say, and you could easily spend more than 5 hrs failing to do this. So I know it's painful, but scrapping it is your best option here. Spend some time fixing the problems at source, and you'll get all the time back, and some, in the long run. So do a few experimental test runs, and listen to the results - you'll soon find out what helps and what doesn't.

Thank you Shootist007. I cannot do even Update now. I probably should have spent the same amount of money on a new IMac!
No not really. If this is a brand new Macbook Pro take it back for a refund. Apple has a 14 day No Questions Asked return policy for Full refund.
Take it back, get the Full Refund (DO NOT LET THEM TRY TO FIX IT. YOU BOUGHT A NEW COMPUTER NOT ONE THAT HAS BEEN WORKED ON OR NEEDS TO BE FIXED) and then decide whether to buy another Macbook Pro or the iMac. Or you could return it, get the Full refund and buy some other brand computer.

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.

Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

Hello promomap,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over. Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
Managing accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

I have been trying to export a keynote powerpoint with voice over to quick time. It keeps crashing. Can anything be done?

Can you explain this better, there appears to be a strange work flow going on, have you imported PowerPoint into Keynote or you are trying to export to PowerPoint?
There are many users who have trouble with a recorded voice over going to Quicktime.
Try this repair, its sorted out many similar problems in the past.
Complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using Appcleaner from Mac Update to           do this, its freeware
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and           click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
Please report back to let us know if this helped.

Connect it to your computer and restore it as a new device. Then chose what music you want to sync with it and do so just like your Touch does.

Problem with voicer over on IMAC

hello , I have some troubles with Voice over on my IMAC. I am blind and this function is really important for me. I use it for many applications, but my bank had currently changed the graphic of the website, voice over fails to interact with images and so i could not do operations. someone can help me?

I am having problems with my Intel iMac's Firewire 800 as well. I have two WD drives daisychained on the 800 port. After 6 months with no problems, and a few weeks after updating to Snow Leopard the second drive intermittently stopped mounting after sleep. The devices attached to the 400 port were OK. It got worse over a few weeks, and after over an hour on the phone to Apple support and multiple tests (eg linking two computers using target mode), the tech said it was an 800 port hardware problem. My iMac is just back from having the logic board replaced (200 km round trip!!), and it has happened again - the second drive "was not ejected properly" after waking from sleep and has not mounted. WD refuse to support daisychained devices, though I don't think the drives are faulty because I can get them to mount using USB. So, you could have a hardware problem, but it may be a Snow Leopard compatibility problem if you have recently updated - other discussion topics have reported similar problems with firewire drives after updating to Snow Leopard.

Virtualization software with voice over

Hello
I need to use Windows and Linux in my macBook.
I use VMware in Windows and VirtualBox in Linux.
I know we can use Parallelx, VMware fusion and virtualbox.
does anybody know which virtualization software for Leopard is accessible with Voice over?
thanks

To my knowledge, there aren't any emulators that work directly with voiceover. It's certainly possible for such a system to work, but it'd be a bit of a task to implement. At the moment though, vm fusion works well if you're interested in running dos/windows/linux, with the caveat that once the target os is loaded, you need to load a screen reader specifically for that os. I.E. windows xp requires jaws or equivalent screen reader. I've been trying to port dosemu to osx, but the tools to do just aren't present on osx, I.E. proper versions of gcc/header libraries and so on), so as of now, dosemu isn't an option, and nobody else seems to be working on it, because of all the commercial alternatives (paralels, vm fusion), and the free ones (dosbox, and so forth) Unfortunately for us, none of these options allow vo to act as a screen reader for the simulated oses, because none of them take vo into account with their design. So, the short of it is: if you want to run paralels or vm fusion, you'll need both a copy of the host os (windows xp, redhat linux, etc.) and you'll also need a screen reader for each os you're virtualizing (jaws, yasr, etc.) Hope this helps.
