Mechanical woman's voice on iPod nano

A mechanical woman's voice takes over and repeats everything on my ipod and I cannot stop it or hear the book or podcast I was listening to. Is anyone else having this issue?

No.

Voice Recording - Ipod Nano 3rd Gen

Hi,
Recently, i saw a mini microphone in the market. At the back of the packaging, it said "This accessory is compatible with iPhone, iTouch, iPod Nano and iPod Classic by installing iTalk Recorder or Easy Recorder".
The dealer had confired that it can be used on iPod 3rd Gen so i was so excited that my ipod finally has voice recording function. I'd downloaded both app with iTune but it cant be sync/installed to my iPod Nano...
Can anyone pls assist me on this critical issue because i need a 2-in-1 mp3+voice recorder?

Thank you for the reply, however, I'm using APPLE; 10.5..... op system. I have been using this ipod with this APPLE comp for a few years--- I read somewhere that the mobile device could be auto turned off somehow. If I DO follow the directions for the uninstall..do I lose all my songs, etc when I put the itune.app in the trash and re-install?

Voice memos disappear off iphone 4 & ipod nano 5th after syncing to mac

hi. i record voice memos on my ipod nano 5th gen and when i sync the nano to my mac they are in itunes on my mac but not on my ipod anymore. they completely disappear from the nano. there is a v.m. playlist i can see on itunes for the ipod but they are grayed out and do not show up at all on the ipod. i can play them on my mac though. since i would like to have my v.m. on a portable device i tried copying them from itunes on my mac to my iphone 4 and have had strange results. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't or a few will copy. the playlist doesn't copy to the iphone at all but if i go to the v.m. app on the phone a few will be there. help! how can i get my v.m. that are now all on my mac to one of my portable devices? thanks in advance.

nevermind. somehow now they are showing up in a music playlist on my nano. not sure if i just missed that as i was looking under extras > voice memos and not music playlists. i'm a happy camper now.

Recording problems with ipod nano - too many voices reading audiobook

I have tried listening to two audiobookks on my ipod nano (6G) but the reader's voice is subject to an identical part-second later echo which makes it all but impossible to understand what he is saying - any suggestions as to the cause of this fault and (hopefully) how to remedy it - thanks, Peter

IPod Nano 7th Gen Info Voice Over Continually Runs

I bought my Ipod Nano 7th Gen last year and for several months now ive had a issue with the voice over of track information that occurs when holding down the pause/play button on the side of the ipod. The voiceover continues to run and i am unable to stop it, meaning that i have to just turn my device off and leave it. I have tried turning it on and off, the voice continues to run once turned back on, i have reset it, restored it and the voice continues to play over. I find that i have to turn it off and leave it for a while until i can use it again with out the voice over contstantly yelling track information at me. The voice over generally only does this when i am using my headphones and more commonly when i am listening to a podcast, however it still occurs when listening to music. The actually accessbilbity voice over is turned off and i have tried everything i can to stop this from driving me crazy. Is this a glitch in my ipod, should i head to a genius bar or is there some other way of fixing it that i have not come across.
Thank You AnB

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!

Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the song and then skip to the next song on the cd and then announce again and skip again over and over again??

Sometimes my ipod nano will have a voice announcement of the name of the song playing after the song starts and then skip to the next song in line and then repeat the announcement and then skip, again and again....

Sounds like VoiceOver has been activated. See this article for instructions on how to turn it off.

Ipod nano 6th: no voice recorder despite headphones with microphone

Hi there!
I have got an ipod nano 6th that is working ok, but when I use my headset with microphone, the voice recorder app still does not show up. It can't be the headphones as 1) I have tried several ones with microphones on the nano and none makes the app appear, 2) the very same headphones manage to trigger appearence of voice recorder in other ipods. So it must me my ipod nano. Any ideas, suggestions, experiences? BTW: it used to work in the past on this nano...so no idea why it stopped.
Thanks!
Bettina

Hello Bettina,
I would be concerned too if the Voice Memos app stopped appearing on my iPod nano. I found some steps I recommend to troubleshoot an issue like this.
First, I recommend verifying that the Voice Memos icon is set to be visible on your iPod nano. If you go to Settings>General>Home Screen, make sure you see the switch set to On next to Voice Memos. You can find more information about this on page 15 in the iPod nano (6th generation) User Guide.
If you are still not able to see the Voice Memo icon after verifying that, I recommend resetting your iPod nano (from page 52 of the iPod nano User Guide):
Reset iPod nano:
First, make sure iPod nano is charged. Then press the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
The final step would be to restore your iPod nano if Voice Memos is still not appearing. You can find steps to do this on page 56 of the User Guide.

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.

IPod nano and Voice Over mode problems

The iPod Nano keeps going into Voice Over mode despite it being in the "Off" position under settings. Am I doing something to override the settings and how can I get it to stop?

you may have enable voice over set in the iTunes settings
to turn it off do the following
-connect ipod to computer
-when ipod shows up in the left column of iTunes under "devices" click on the ipod name
-in the summary page, scroll down to the bottom of the page until you get to a section that says "options"
-under options deselect the checkbox next to "enable voice over"
-click apply and that should turn it off
hope this helps:)

How do you turn off the voice on the Ipod Nano 7th generation

How do you turn off the automated voice that tells you how to work the Ipod Nano 7th Generation?

Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns VoiceOver off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't do it then there are instructions on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064 - you can either do it either directly on the iPad or when connected to your computer's iTunes

New iPod nano have voice recorder?

Does the new iPod nano have a voice recorder?

Just like the 4th, 5th, 6th, and now 7th generation ipod nanos, when you plug in supported headphones (with a microphone) a new 'app' shows up on the home screen: voice memos this allows you to record audio through the headphones mic. unfortunely, you will have to buy new headphones/earplugs to use this feature.
if you dont want to buy new headphones, you can find external mic's to use instead. the 3.5mm plug must have 4 pins to use the voice memo's feature.
