IPod locked with Voice control

My screen is locked and voice control is on, it won't allow me to open my phone in any way. What can I do to resolve this?

I think you mean VoiceOver, that is where the iPod "talks" to you
You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
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 the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Otherwise
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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does the Sennheiser MM50 work with Voice Control?

I'm not double posting -- over at "using 3Gs" I asked if anyone had any idea what other earphones I could use with voice control, but after researching these Sennheiser MM50 iP phones look like just the ticket... except I'm not sure they work with the voice control itself.
They have a mic and a pause/answer button -- has anyone tried theirs to see if it will do the same job on voice control as the Apple earbuds do? (Which, IMHO, is superb). I do hate to give up volume control, but I can live without it for better overall sound (too bad the VC doesn't allow you to just say "louder" or "softer" <g>.

I would assume all earphones work that have a mic. No reason why they shouldn't

Screen locked with voice over and zero value

My ipad screen is locked with voice over and every time I put in my pass code it just repeats and says zero value. How do I get into my ipad without having to loose all my data. Have icloud backup but not sure if that is working properly.Frustrated!

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 > Accessibility Shortcut (or Triple-Click Home depending upon the iOS version).
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off'. You need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling e.g. to type a digit of your passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it, and then double-tap the digit to type it.
Or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes (after typing in your passcode via the tap/double-tap process) : select the iPad in iTunes, select its Summary tab, scroll to the bottom of that and click the 'configure accessibility' button :
And on the popup select 'none' for the 'seeing' option :
Clicking 'ok' should turn it 'off' on your iPad

Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Problem with voice control

Hello. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had issues with their voice control? Any time my headphones are in and I move them slightly or put it in my pocket it turns on voice control and pauses my music. Even if I don't touch anything it will open up voice control and turn on music when my headphones are plugged in. Or i'll put in my pocket on screen lock and the VSD will open contacts or applications. Is there a way to deactivate voice control? I have switched the settings so it won't be opened with the mute button, I made it so it's 'voice dialing only' and that didn't change anything. This is annoying because I can't listen to music on my phone or do anything for that matter if the headphones are plugged in.

Same here... it's so annoying -.-
Need heeeeelp

Something wrong with Voice Control?

The Voice Control on my iPhone (3GS) has gone odd.
Holding down the button on the headphones triggers Voice Control, but I no longer have the double-bing to prompt for a voice command nor do I have voice response from the handset when I do give a command.
Everything works okay when not using headphones, and it's not the headphones either as I've tested it on two pairs.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue, but with my iPhone 4 and the stock headset. When I hold down the button on the headset the phone vibrates but the audio prompt is not heard at all. Conversely, when the iPhone is connected to my bluetooth headset (Jawbone Prime), there is no such issue when activating voice dial through the Jawbone.

Can not play podcast with voice control command

Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
Thanks

I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!

Anyone else still having issues with Voice Control?

Mine was activated out of nowhere and of course there is no easy option to turn it off. Its in the international setting...what is that even for?? Its preventing me from organizing my apps, can anyone shed some light on this?
I've reset, double checked settings, and even restored. No change.

If I hear Siri say "sorry, I am having trouble connecting to the network" one more time it's going on Craigslist, and I'm going back to Android. Siri seems to be best for the Apple Marketing Dept. In my business we go from Beta to Pilot, to GR. How does Apple give it to the masses and call it Beta. Are they so self confident that they can take the hit?
I often ask it to call xxxx, and it just times out. The other issue is that when it does work, if it works, the lag time from command to execution makes it not functional. If one of the goals is to make it safer for me while I travel, Apple has made it worse since I ultimately have to pick up the phone and dial manually. I did get a surprise answer the other day when I asked Siri a math question from my 11yr old's math homework.
1 out of 50 times it works. So far I have to give Apple a 10+ for Marketing, and a 1 for execution.
Don't even get me started on ICloud set up and support help.

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.
