Ipod shuffle voice over acting funny

Hi,
I bought the shuffle about 3 months ago. The past 2 weeks or so the voice over's been acting funny. Every time I click the voice over button the playback voice only says 'Playlist 1, Playlist 2' and so on for all my playlists. The song voiceover doesn't work either. There's just silence where its supposed to say the track and artist name. I tried resetting the settings back to factory default from itunes but no go. Whats wrong with it?
Thanks for helping me out.

Hi Imyman,
Apple has determined that the Apple Headphones with Remote included with the iPod shuffle (3rd gen) may fail under certain conditions. If your Shuffle has a certain serial number you can change your Headphones following this procedure:

Hope this will solve your problem as it did for me.

My ipod shuffle voice over button does not list the song/artist or give battery status. I am following direions but it doesn't respond wether I push it once or twice. Any ideas?

?The voice over button does not work per directions (press once for title/artist; press twice for battery status. Any ideas how to make this work?

I discovered that if I push the button quickly (twice), I get the battery status. But I still do not have any title artist data. The music get quieter but no info.

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle - voice over prob with podcasts

Hi. I have TWO of these cute little shuffles and I really like them.
The problem is that each lives with its OWN Mac, each with its own install of itunes on the mac and BOTH OF THEM will refuse to say some of the PODCAST names.
So for example in the computery voice when I press and hold the voice over button it will say:
ABOVE AND BEYOND TRANCE AROUND THE WORLD
then "Podcast 2" instead of "The Dave Ramsey Pocast
Then For mac eyes only
Then "podcast 4" instead of "Tiestos club life".
It doesn't seem to matter how many podcast episodes are in each major podcast label or whether I have started listening to the podcast or if its "unplayed".
I have both of the shuffles set to "sync all podcasts" because I only have a few podcasts and there is always room..
It seems sort of random.
Any thoughts?

SOLVED! The person who posted in another message to voice over not working with all podcasts got it right and it worked
So you go to SUMMARY tab when clicking on your ipod , unclick voice over, click APPLY. Then click voice over then click APPLY. Then it all works!

You need to go to the Shuffle settings page, disable Voiceover, apply settings, the re-enable Voiceover to reset the spoken data.

Does Shuffle voice over current tracks and artists for CDs burnt?

The instructions seem to say it will, but the only voice over I get is "all songs". iTunes knows all my CD's song titles. Hmmmm-jt

Isn't "all songs" the name of the default playlist, when you don't pick a specific playlist?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4322
"All Songs" (default playlist of all the songs on iPod shuffle)

Why is my Ipod shuffle acting strange?

Ever since I put certain songs on my Ipod Shuffle, it has acted strangely with those somgs. For example, when I try to skip one of the songs, it instead goes back to the beginning. The same thing can be said for going back in the song list. Sometimes, after doing it fast enough, it changes the VoiceOver language for no reason from English to a language I can't identify. This is even wierder when the song title is in English. Some of the songs I added are not llayed at all, or when I play a voiceover of one of the songs, then go back to hear the name of it again, it says a different title. This happens only with these songs, which is about 8 sings, but the Ipod only plays 5 or 6, and it says one title one second, and another title the next. Is it the audio files? I have erased all of the music, then re-synced it, but it did not help. This problem is very complicated and strange. Also, this all happens when the songs are in order, as I do not listen to music when it is shuffled.

Puede que se haya averiado. Llévalo a tu centro Apple más cercano. A lo mejor es problema de las canciones. Prueba formatearlo y luego meter otras canciones. Si pasa lo mismo será mejor hacer lo que te he comentado antes. Espero ayudarte y suerte con tu problema.

PD. ¿Eres español? Por favor vótame soy nuevo en esto y tengo muchos cocnocimientos pero la gente no me responde. Gracias y otro saludo.

HT201406 In my Ipod touch 8GB a box like thing appears when I try to open any application along with a voice over. When I tried switching it off, it says voice over always on in the settings and makes it impossible to turn it off. pls help.

In my ipod touch, voice over is activated and when I try to turn it off in settings it says "MUSIC VOICE CONTROL ALWAYS ENABLED". this box like thing also makes it difficult for me to access all my applications or scroll. Pls tell me some suggesstions.

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:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)

Voice Over won't give me the specifics.

Ever since I got my 3rd gen. shuffle, Voice Over has worked but It won't tell me the song names, artist names, playlist names, etc. It simply refers to all playlists as "playlist 1, playlist 2" until 10 then all playlists from 11 on are called just "playlist." Please help, its a pain not knowing what I'm listening to.
According to iTunes, my iPod software is up to date.

Sync new ipod shuffle

Hi
Tried syncing - by attaching ipod with its cable to my desktop computer.
Screen indicates that synchronisation is complete.
When I press play button on ipod, the voice over tells me to sync my ipod
Bought a new ipod shuffle as a replacement for one that I lost recently.
When I press the play button, the voice over tells me to sync my ipod to itunes - which I ofcourse, thought I had done already!
The problem could be that I did not register the correct serial number.
Is there a cure?
Thanks in advance.

Connect the iPod shuffle to the computer and go through the iPod Setup Assistant when prompted.

What new voice over option were made available for the new iPod Shuffle?

What new voice over option were made available for the new iPod Shuffle in the 10.1.2 update

But it said that there were voice over update integrated into it but i didn't catch what it was

My iPod Shuffle 4g has no battery status voice over, either. What could effect the d.click?

I have turned off the iPod Shuffle and turned on after 10sec. I have opened the iPod summary page in iTunes and check and unchecked "voice over" and applied. I have "restored" the ipod. I am using Mac Lion 10.7.2 and iTunes 10 10.5.2. I have read Phillip's answer to Zazuum. WHAT am I looking for that would effect the double click? I am encouraged that someone else has the problem and may have fixed it. Now I at least know it's me and not the iPod. Sorry, Phillip, I need a little clearer direction. Thank you.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Ipod shuffle 4th gen error while installing voice over

I even factory reseted the ipod, but no sucess trying to install the voice over kit

Ipod Nano touch - voice over off, but still talks.

Hello,
I bought my boyfriend the ipod nano multi-touch back in March. We couldn't seem to get the voice to stop interrupting our music. Then one day my boyfriend calls me down to the car to hear something weird... So, I go down and the ipod was going crazy. Over our car speakers it was playing a song for about 3 seconds and then giving all the info about the song, then it changed the song and did this over and over again. We took it to apple and they took it into the back for a few minutes. When they came back they said that they heard what it was doing when they plugged in their headphones to the ipod. They also said that they turned the voice over off and that was our problem.... okay that was about a month ago. Now... its doing all over again! The bizarre thing is that the voice over is off... we've done the restart and the resetting but nothing seems to be working. When the voice over thing isn't going crazy, it skips songs with out us touching it... This is very frustrating! If anybody has any idea how to fix this or any information on if apple can help or replace please let me know.
Thank you!

Something is shorting out inside the iPod or something is shorting out the headset you are using, if it has buttons on the wire.
Even if voiceover is turned off, you can still make a 6th Gen Nano speak. What you are hearing is the track information. The nano will speak this to you if you press and hold the button on your headset (assuming you have a headset with buttons). If water gets into those buttons, it can cause the button to act like it is being pressed, pressed and held, etc.
This can also happen if moisture gets inside the Nano.
Does this only happen after exercise? Has it gotten wet?
First, make sure it gets totally dried out. You can put it in a baggie with some rice to dry it out - just make sure none of the rice gets into the headset jack!
