My iphone 4S wont stop "talking."  everthing i touch is repeated back to me.  How can I fix?

My iphone 4S won't stop "talking" to me.  Everytime I press something the SIRI voice repeats the action I just took.  When I go to access something, I have to press 2x.  I think something got inadvertently changed in settings.  To me, what's going on looks like it would be helpful to someone who is visually impaired.  How can I fix this?

Hi janine,
You need to scroll down to get to General. With Voice Over on, you scroll with three fingers.
So, Tap once to select the Settings icon, tap twice to "activate" it
Use 3 fingers to scroll down to General
Tap once on General to select it, two more times to activate it
Use 3 fingers to scroll down to Accessibility
Tap once on Accessibility to select, two more times to activate
Then tap once on the Voice Over option to select, two more times to turn it off
Cheers,
GB

  • Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Help me please... Since moving my iPhone 4S with iOS 7.0.4 to straight talk I cannot send or receive mms messages. How can I fix that?

    Since Straight Talk, using a GSM iPhone is not "officially" supported, you're gonna have to configure the APN settings manually. Go here:

    This site is a collection of APN setting for unsupported GSM carriers. This is a good place to get the correct settings for your phone.

    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.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • My iPhone sometimes stops outputting sound after I remove my earbuds/headphones? How can I fix this?

    I need help!

    The noise makers in a MBP are the HDD, fans and the DVD drive.  Try to locate the location of the noise.

  • My facebook app has stopped updating and send push notifications while not open. How can I fix this?

    My iphone facebook app just recently stopped sending push notifications when I receive messages. It doesn't even show the little red circle on the icon.
    If I open the app all updates will be loaded and when I close out the icon will have the little red circle indicating the amount of unread messages I have. It will not update while the app is closed though.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

    Check your Notification Center settings (in the Settings app) to see if you have Facebook blocked on anything.
    If not, just delete the App, reboot your phone, then reinstall from App Store.

  • I've had my iPhone 4s for less than 6months and my camera has quit working. How can I fix it or get a new phone?

    I've had my Apple iPhone 4s for less than 6 months and the camera has stopped working. How do I go about fixing it or getting a new phone?

    There is a manufacturers warranty of one year. If you call 800-922-0204 they will send you a second hand iPhone. You then send the broken camera one back per their instructions.
    Or just walk into an Apple retail location and they can fix or replace on the spot. Personally I would go to the Apple store.
    Good Luck
    PS if the camera shows signs of breakage Verizon will charge you for the cost of the device. Apple will also unless you opt for a repair which could also run some money.

  • TS3899 My iPhone is not fully synchronized with my hotmail and my gmail accounts. How can I fix that?

    I can receive and read mails from my hotmail and gmail accounts, but if I answer them from my iphone, they don't appear on my hotmail or gmail pages.

    It sounds as if you may be using POP rather than IMAP. POP email accounts do not stay in sync across devices. IMAP accounts do.
    For Gmail, log into your Gmail account on your computer, go to Settings>Forwarding and POP/IMAP. Make sure that you have IMAP enabled. You'll need to check with Hotmail to see what the similar settings would be.

  • My iPhone 5 camera gives a blurred image when taking photos with the device, how can i fix that

    i have had my iPhone 5 for almost a year now and have been suffering from this problem for quiet a while now, when taking pictures with my iPhone 5 the result is a blurred image, i dont know why the focus of the image is so bad !

    MAke sure teh problem is not do to camera shake by holding it firmly on a solid surface and taking a picture of something in the 10-20 foot range.  If that rules out shake, and the image is blurred, take the iPhone to an Apple store genius bar and have it examined.  Backup all of your content in iCloud in case the verdict is a replaement iPhone, they can resore your content from an iCloud backup.
