My imac started talking to me! How do I shut this off???

I am not sure what I did but my iMac is now talking to me. Like if I move my mouse to file, edit, view, etc. The computer speaks the words "FILE" "EDIT" "VIEW". I do not want this on and I can't figure out how to shut it off???
Thanks in advance!
Frank

Open your Preference window & click on Universal Access. Make sure Voice Over is turned Off. You may have turned it On by depressing the Command+F5 keys.

  • "Get Pictures from Apple iPhone" - How do I shut this off?

    When I plug my iPhone in with a USB from my computer my pictures pop up. How can I have that NOT show up? The first time a message showed up asking prompting me if I wanted the photos to appear and I hit "don't show message again", but now I would not like my photos to pop up.
    Any ideas?
    Thnx

  • Pop-up blocker is turned on..pop-ups still come up...if they have sound it will continue even after i close window...how do i shut this off...don't have this prob with explorer

    my pop-up blocker is turned on..pop-ups still come up..if they have sound it will continue after i close the window..explorer windows pop-up also but sound shuts off when window is closed
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == since i downloaded firefox

    See [[Pop-up blocker]] for troubleshooting information on why pop-ups are not being blocked. A pop-up from Firefox will have the Firefox logo and it will say Mozilla Firefox on top (See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Pop-up+blocker?bl=n&s=pop%2520up%2520blocker#Is_the_pop_up_coming_from_Firefox_ Is the pop-up coming from Firefox?] for more information.) Attached is an example. If you determine the pop-ups are not coming from Firefox:

  • ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

    iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
    http://www.talkingwalking.net
    Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
    Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
    Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store.  Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out. 
    This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store.  However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
    Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store. 
    At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning.  This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes. 
    I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
    I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
    Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue.  Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
    With thanks, Andrew

    Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
    Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
    if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
    You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
    If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.

    one of my songs is not matched correctly in when I started iTunes match.  How do I fix this?

    You could try emailing iTunes support, giving them your order number, etc. or you could just take the hit and pay the 99p.  I know what I would do.

  • When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over This is petty but how do I shut this popup off?

    When I turn on my wifi in top bar and connect,minutes later I get an annoying pop up notification letting me know I'm connected, AGAIN. It freezes everything including psswds and I have to start all over. This is petty, but how do I shut this popup off?

    What OS X version are you using?
    Can you take a screenshot of the pop-up notification?
    To take a screenshot hold ⌘ Shift 4 to create a selection crosshair. Click and hold while you drag the crosshair over the area you wish to capture and then release the mouse button. You will hear a "camera shutter" sound. This will deposit a screenshot on your Desktop.
    If you can't find it on your Desktop look in your Documents or Downloads folder.
    If you want to attach a screenshot to a response here, click the "camera" icon above the text field:
    This will display a dialog box which enables you to choose the screenshot file (remember it's on your Desktop) and click the Insert Image button.
    ⌘ Shift 4 and then pressing the space bar captures the window the cursor is on.
    ⌘ Shift 3 captures the entire screen.

  • When I open iMovie, the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    When I open iMovie (09), the app searches for missing iPhoto files.  These are files I deleted.  I have to close about 30 dialog boxes before I can start using iMovie.  How do I make this stop?

    So it seems the issue is when iMovie is wanting to creat thumbnails, if I ask it to ignore then it's fine but if not it hangs up searching for the video file.

  • Today my Firefox start asking my approval for ever thing I'm doing OMG everything I have to approve of block everything. How do I turn this off?

    Today my Firefox start asking my approval for every thing I’m doing OMG everything I have to approve of block everything. How do I turn this off?
    i need to stop this asap its driving me crazy!

    None of the above.
    I have no hub (not even a USB one), or any other Firewire Video devices. I have the iSight connect into the only port that is available on my iBook G4.
    I have noticed that it stops working when my iBook goes to sleep. I am going to turn it of next time I take the laptop home and see if a cold reboot helps. If so it could be that the Firewire buss is disconnecting during sleep mode and not coming back on once the system is woken up. The only caveat to this salutation is that I never had that problem when I used my Canon Video Camera as a Web Cam.
    It’s just annoying to have to fiddle with the thing every time I want it to work.
