I cannot turn voiceover off in Ipad2. Also can not see accessibility button on seetings / general. Last button i can scroll is "RESTRICTION" button. I also tried triple clicking home button, still can not get over. Please help.
Are you not able to scroll down the righ-hand side of Settings > General using three fingers on the screen ?
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes:Connect iPad to your computer and select iPad in the iTunes device list. Click Summary, then click Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary screen.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set 'Seeing' to 'Neither'

How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am locked in Guided Access on an iPad?
I have an iPad that I use in therapy with children with impairments and often have to switch between accessibility options. I am currently stuck in the TouchChat app with VoiceOver and Guided Access both turned on. Every time I triple click the home button the accessibility options come up but it just reads the options aloud to me rather than letting me turn VoiceOver off. Since I am also in Guided Access I am unable to get out of the app to go to settings to turn the VoiceOver off. I have even tried a forced shutdown hoping that that would help, but when I turn it back on I am automatically locked back in TouchChat. Please help! How do I turn VoiceOver off when I am also locked in Guided Access?
Open the Seeing tab of the Universal Access pane of System Preferences and turn it off. If it's on at the login window, turn it off from the Accounts pane under Login Options.

I can log in my Gmail account, but when I want to log out, the usual "button" on the top right end of the window does not provide the menu with the log out choice.
Is there something wrong with the Firefox setting or is there any other way to log out?
Thanks
EdoardoBummer! Hopefully this will change in the future. At least I know now that I am not crazy for not seeing the pages icon! Thanks so much :)

My ipad homescreen hang, I cannot turn it off and all apps are not showing just the wallpaper.what do I need to do?
Welcome to the Apple Community gms3.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -
When I activated VoiceOver, capital s was used to start reading. I cannot turn it off so as to be able to use capital s in ordinary utilities (Word, textedit..) Restarting did not help.
Hi, benson -
If it is a matter of VoiceOver being turned on when you press Shift-S, you can change the keyboard command key combo for that. Open System Preferences, select the Keyboard item. In the new window, click the Keyboard Shortcuts button.
In the left list, click Universal Acess. In the new list on the right, be sure the last item, "Turn VoiceOver on or off", is checkmarked, then click the command-key setting on the right of that line. A small text box will open - enter the new command-key combo you wish to reset it to.
Suggestion - the original setting for that is Command-F5 (that's the number 5, not the letter S). Unless you have a particular need to use Command-F5 for something else, I would reset it to that. If you do need to set it to something else, include the Command-key as part of the combo - doing so prevents accidental activation when using routine keyboard strokes. -
My ipad 2 just froze. I cannot turn it off. The circular rotating icon is in the center of a black screen?
Try this; Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

I have problem with my Ipod touch when I upgrade it with ios 6. I cannot turn it off. I have alrealy followed the troubleshooting instructions to press both the off/sleep button and the home button but still it will not turn off. I cannot use my ipod anymore for it is just hanging up.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Cannot turn sounds off on new version of Scrabble
I downloaded the latest version of Scrabble from ITunes and I find that I cannot turn sounds off.
From within the program when I try to do this I'm told I must exit the game, go to settings and then notifications. When I do so I see that sounds are already set off, yet I still hear them when I go back to the game. I have also tried turning them on, and then off again but this does not work either. Finally, I deleted the app, re-downloaded from ITunes with the same results.
What is worse is that EA has a completely unsatisfactory support policy. Basically, they send me to Apple. I can't even leave an email on their "support" site.
This is a bug. It must be fixed. I paid for this application, it was working until I "upgraded". Can someone tell me how to get a satisfactory resolution to this problem? I play Scrabble on my IPhone a lot. But these sounds make it unusable.Been there, done that.
Set up account.
I originally sent them an email which directed me to
http://support.eamobile.com/applesupport
This redirects to
http://support.eamobile.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2192
I click "Email Us". (There is no "Contact Us" link as indicated on that page. This leads to a page that forces you to pick a platform and "IPhone" is not among the choices. Nor is "Apple IPhone" nor "AT&T IPhone" nor any other variation I can think of. -

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?
First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
How do I turn voiceover off?
I hit an odd key combo and now I have a very annoying assist mode turned on. Now everything my mouse highlights is spoken by good old Alex and certain areas are outlined in black. How can I turn this off completely? Also, my F12 key is now dashboard F10 is window viewer. Is there any way to return all the default?

Hi, my ipad mini has suddenly stopped working and I cannot turn it off or connect it to the computer, can anyone help me on this??
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Is there any way to set password to protect the location service, to keep GPS open? so, the theft cannot turn it off so easy, because once the location service is turn off, all GPS track is useless...
That is what Activation Lock of iOS 7 does
In addition, it renders the iPhone totally useless to anyone who doesn't know your Apple ID and password.

Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?
Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?
