Nano (7th gen) voice over turned off but NOT

I have done 3 things to turn-off Voice Over:
1)  Settings>General>Accessibility>VoiceOver
2)  Settings>Reset Settings
3)  Itunes>Owner's Ipod>Summary>Configure Universal Access
It is not like VoiceOver is turned on for either #1 or #3, so it is a mystery to me why it is turned on.
In fact, it is almost like sometimes it is on and sometimes it is off, but it is on when I don't want it to be.
It happens when I am watching videos (playlist) and not only does VoiceOver turn on but sometimes the
videos just go haywire and go fast forward, reset back to 1st video on playlist even though I want to watch 5th video.
Usually this happens maybe in conjunction with holding onto the Ipod, so I don't know if I am touching something
on the Ipod that is setting it off. 
I think it just sounds like I have it exchange...
I even tried to find if there was a Voice Over Kit installed on my computer so I could uninstall it, but I couldn't find it...

I have the same problem. For me it seems to happen because of my headphones causing the voice memo app to appear, even though they don't have a microphone. I only get the weird voice over, pausing, skipping etc. when the voice memo app is visible on the home screen. My earphones don't cause this problem but headphones do, neither have a microphone. Voice memo does not always appear when i plug in my headphones, but when i pause it for a while and come back, it's there. Must be a bug in the software, if only apple cared to fix it. I guess there's still no solution?

  • Ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it doesn't respond to button presses on the touch screen.

    ipod nano 6 gen hangs when turning off the backlight. That is, it does not respond to button presses on the touch screen. He also has just a white screen instead of the desktop display. Tried to rearrange the screen from another Ipod nano, but nothing came of it - all the same ... What should I do?

    Hi Rc_Drifter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  The article below will help you troubleshoot the issue you are having with your iPod nano. Restoring the device may resolve the backlight issue as well.

    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • 6th generation with voice over turned off, still plays random song names and lists 45 min into a run

    6th generation with voice over turned off still plays random song names and playlist 45 min into a run. How can I fix this.

    Sweat is getting into your buttons and causing spoken menus to come on. Run with your ipod placed somewhere that gets less exposed to your sweat.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync

    iPod Nano 7th Gen says "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported" when trying to charge / sync with official apple lightening cable.
    It worked for almost a year then suddenly began to say that. My computer [windows], lightening cable and my power brick [all apple official] are all the same as they were when it was working. The iPod is almost a year old now, and has worked perfectly up until about a week ago.
    I have tried resetting the iPod, plugging it into different charging sources but it keeps saying "Unsupported. Accessory is not supported"
    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    Your iPod Nano firmware and iTunes updated to the current versions? 
    It is very difficult to offer troubleshooting suggestions when the "os version" you are using is unknown as each os has their own troubleshooting solutions.

  • Nano 6th gen- voice over during songs

    I have a nano 6th gen and during songs the music will fade and a voice over will interrupt and name the song and artist then will start skipping through the song. It will then repeat the name and artist then start listing the folders I have set up in Itunes. I have tried turning the ipod on and off but the problem is persistant. Any ideas on how to fix this issue? The ipod was bought new, not refurbished and isn't more than 1 1/2 yrs old.

    I can't help you, but you are not alone!!
    The same thing happens to me. .its been doing ti for a month now
    So annoying!
    No idea why its happening or how to fix it

  • Ipod nano 7th: Screen flashes white (turns off) and stops the music.

    I just got a brand new Ipod nano 7th: Less than 10 seconds after the song starts playing the screen flashes white, the apple logo shows up and it returns to 'home' screen. Battery is full. Tried to restart but that didnt help!
    What could be the problem?

    Hi joannefromhkg,
    If your iPod nano (7th generation) will not turn on at all I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Specifically -
    Follow these steps if your iPod a power-related issue.
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    And -
    Issue not resolved
    If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

  • IPod Nano 7th gen - software update error and now not functioning

    Hello,
    I recently plugged an older 7th gen iPod Nano that I hadn't used in a while into my computer (Windows 7 operating system) and iTunes wanted me to let it update its software. I said 'yes,' not really thining anything of it, and as the software update was taking place, an 'unexpected error' occurred. Now my iPod will not turn on or respond or anything. It shut off while plugged into the computer and has stayed off and I am unable to get it to turn back on. It is totally dead, like the failed update somehow ruined my iPod.
    The iPod itself was a little damaged - the LCD touchscreen was nonfunctioning due to water damage, and only displayed a white screen when on, but I could still 'shake to shuffle' and it would play all of my music just fine. Now the iPod will not work at all.
    Is there anything that can be done or am I just out of luck here? Did the fact that the iPod was damaged have something to do with the failed update?
    I'm kind of bummed 'cause the iPod still played my music perfectly....
    Thanks for any help or insights anybody can give.

    I should add 2 important points: 1) I have no trouble syncing with my PC, just in updating the nano software, and (2) Buried in some Apple reference I found mention of problems if the nano isn't formatted for a PC vs. Mac. It gives info on how to tell what the format is, but it's outdated (the menu choices are different). I believe it is already formatted for a PC because of an entry under Settings/About which says the Version is "1.0 PC". Tell me if I'm wrong. Also, it would help me if I knew the destination of the software download. Does it download directly to the Nano or to a temporary folder on my PC?

  • IPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) syncing some albums, but not others...?

    Hello! I am new to the world of iPods, so please bear with me.
    I recently purchased an iPod Nano (5th gen, 16GB) and figured out how to sync it with iTunes. Unfortunately, it seems to only sync up with select albums in my library. I know that in order for an album to sync there needs to be check marks next to each song, which I did, but after I sync it I browse my iPod and find that only (roughly) half of the albums I indicated actually show up on my iPod. For example, I was able to sync albums by The Afghan Whigs, Bryan Ferry, and Berlin just fine, but for some reason I was not able to sync certain albums by Autechre, Low, or King Black Acid.
    What gives?? I will note that I am using the Windows 7 release candidate - hopefully this has nothing to do with it.

    Hello livoryy
    It sounds like the battery just does not hold a charge. Check out the page below and look at the battery replacement section to get all the answers to what you are asking.

  • How do I get my iPod Nano 7th Gen. to sort by Artist and not Album Artist?

    Why does my iPod Nano 7th sort by Album Artist? And how do I get it to sort/view by just purely Artist like on my iTunes?

    Check with the manufacturer of your radio and see if they have a compatible cable.

  • Ipod nano 7th gen not turning on or connecting to laptop??

    My son's ipod nano 7th gen won't turn on and when I connect it to the lap top a message comes up saying device driver not recognised - he was listening to it just last night, can anyone help? He's only had it since his birthday in November.

    I reset the ipod by holding down the power button and the menu button and the apple screen came up after a few moments - this seems to have done the trick!

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen. & Nike App

    Good morning friends,
    I am interested in purchasing an iPod Nano 7th Gen. for the fitness app but I have some queries - I've checked online and am a little more confused then when I started.
    I understand that the Nike Fitness App doesn't need the shoe sensor in order to work.  This is the main reason I am interested in purchasing the product; however, in the store the personnel indicated that the shoe sensor is required.  I investigated this a little and now I am of the understanding that you can use the app without the shoe sensor for walking/running, but that having said sensor makes the app more efficient/accurate.
    Could someone clarify this for me, and indicate which are the functions when having the iPod only or having the iPod + shoe sensor?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Hello,
    I have the ipod nano 7th gen. I use it without the sensor and it works fine. It is quite accurate. I have tested it by running around my neighborhood and then compared my run  to Google Maps and it was pretty close. After each run, you can calibrate your distance. This will make your runs even more accurate.

  • 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
