Mac mini user is having trouble finding setting

Mac mini user and I would like to learn how to turn off this machine talking to me. It has suddenly started to speak everything that I type and roll over. I would like to learn how to turn this off. I have no idea how it got turned on. I guess that's why my 17 month old shouldn't play on the computer. Please help it is so annoying.

Hi frog8-
Greetings and welcome to the Apple Discussion boards
That annoying voice-over can actually be useful for folks that are hearing impaired.
You can turn off this feature via ->System preferences ->Universal Access ->VoiceOver and check "no".
Command-function-f5 will also toggle the function and is most likely the way the lil' one enabled same.
Luck-

    That all depends on what troubleshooting steps you've tried.

  • A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through

    A user is having trouble printing. Print jobs take FOREVER when they used to speed through (despite linked images, etc)
    These are just some notes from our troubleshooting:
    User was trying to print out InDesign document however during the flattening phase, the computer would stall and would not print out the document.
    The document does not print out using double sided or single sided.
    The first time I went out, all I did was a system restore and uninstalled mcafee security plus because we're on a university network and sometimes the firewall blocks network printing, and that worked. She tried to print again later and it went back to taking 30 minutes for a print job of about 19 pages. These print jobs used to take about 5 minutes at the most to print entirely, but they queued up immediately, versus now, it takes about 5 minutes just to get to the printer.
    Further troubleshooting that I did on a separate day:
    Printer was printing fine in November - problem started at some point this month (December)
    Printing is fine elsewhere, including in Adobe Acrobat
    I was able to print one page just fine - it had no images (tried to print the same page later, took forever)
    Some of the images are very large (100MB+) photoshop files (again, they were there before and it printed fine) - these images are linked (with no link errors)
    She prints to a network printer, but there's no firewall on (again, printing is fine elsewhere)
    She's essentially printing with the default settings, she just centers her print, instead of the default layout.
    Now even printing with the default print set (not changing any print settings at all) doesn't work. Jobs take 30 minutes. I can't figure out if it's file specific or where the problem is. Since she has no custom settings, my next option is to just do an uninstall and reinstall, but I'm worried that the problem will still be there. I was starting to think that maybe the file is just so corrupted from all the force quits that that's causing the problem, but... I'm running out of solutions.
    Any help? 

    I have only worked doing layout for one business in my past. In that job our department would sometimes experience slowdown in printing from time to time. However, we began to see extreme slowdowns over a month period. It was finally tracked down to two things. One was something about the RAID array going bonkers. The other was some of the CAT cabling going bad. It only affected large print jobs and copying large files through the network. Even so, it was not 100% of the time. Sometimes things went along smoothly.
    Point is, have your IT people been invited in to experience the issue and see if anything in the network is causing at least latency issues?
    Take care, Mike

  • Having trouble finding Character viewer

    I am having trouble finding the Character Viewer.  I've looked in the Launchpad and also in Finder under Applications.  If I accidentally sent it to the Trash and emptied it can I reinstall?
    OS X 10.8.5

    Actually I'm not looking for the Font Book , I'm looking for the Character Viewer.  FontBook I can find and it does not appear to give me what I want.  I was already using the Character Viewer quite a bit for a while, using it to find the pi sign, upside down exclamation points, fractions, foreign currency symbols and stuff like that.
    I suspect I turfed the app without realizing what I was doing at the time.  This is my first Mac and I am still acclimatizing to it.  Like I said, it can't be found in Finder under Applications so I'm thinking it must be missing.

  • Mac mini & HP psc 750xi trouble

    I'm new to the mac world and therefore to my mac mini but I'm trying to set up my hp psc 750xi printer and it's not working out well. I get the hp all-in-one installer, and go through a couple of steps but then i get a spinning disc that doesn't go away (it will sit there for a half hour.) I have tried using the most current firmware for the printer that I could find on hp's site but still nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas what to do?

    This article was posted to Mac OS X Hints just yesterday;
    10.6: How to use OCR with HP multi-function printers
    I think in the comments you may find some help in installing the HP drivers for HP all-in-one devices on Snow Leopard.

  • I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.'  Where exactly is it located?

    I have Final Cut Pro X (10.0.9) and would like to change my project settings but I am having trouble finding the 'Modify Settings button.'  Where exactly is it located?  Here is the link which gives the instructions but doesn't seem to say where the 'Modify Settings Button' is located: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12526?viewlocale=en_US

    You have to choose – one settigf or another.
    The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
    WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
    Good luck.

  • I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    I would like to print a four sided programme, but am having trouble finding out how to organise the sections onto a 17  by 11 paper with the sections in the right order. Any help?

    If all you are going to do is print double sided and them make
    a single fold reducing the page to 8 1/2 x 11, one side of the
    original 17 x 11 page will be page 4 on the left as you hold
    the page facing you and page 1 on the right, reverse side
    should be printed so top is same as top on the the first side
    and will be page 2 to the left and page 3 to the right. Pick
    up the double sided document with pages 2 and 3 facing you, fold
    left edge to meet right edge; you should now have fold on the left
    with page 1 facing up toward you, turn the page as you normally
    would and pages 2 & 3 should be in order, and one more turn brings
    you to page 4 and the fold should know be on the right. I hope this
    explains clearly enough - if not, post back and some one should
    join in with a better explanation.
