Out of no where, voice over seems to have taken over my phone. can't enter password. how do I reset or turn off voice over?

Out of no where my phone suddenly showed enlarged numbers and letters. Voice Over has taken over the phone.
The phone is unresponsive when I try to enter the password to gain accesss to the phone. I can only power on and off and that does not stop Voice Over. Any ideas as to what could be wrong and how I correct it?

Greetings midgiesmom58,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that VoiceOver is enabled on your iPhone and you are having a hard time turning it off. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the Managing Accessibility features using your device section in the attached article and use iTunes to help you disable VoiceOver.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on your new MacBook!
Open System Preferences (Applications folder) and click Universal Access. You can turn off Voice Over there.

I am not able to turn off voice over. I have tried to do settings - General - Accessibility - VoiceOver and then triple clicked it but the VoiceOver won't turn off. What can I do? I have even tried to reset the machine keeping the data, no use.

A few people have reported problems with the hand gestures since IOS 8. It's not normal, I have don't have the problem on my iPad 4. I doubt it's a major problem but if it happens regularly I'd have it checked out by the Genius bar at the Apple Store.

I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now. As to where these files are, I don't know. It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.

Turn off voice aid on 6730 - Please???

Hello
I have a new 6730, so far I hate it. Among its many irritations are that somehow I have switched on voice aid so now every time I press a key an annoying man's voice reads it out to me. I can't turn it off and have tried everything. Vodafone are unable to help me and previous searches on these great forums don't seem to help either. I would be so, so grateful for any suggestions. Thank you! JuJu

try a factory reset 1st
then try the 2nd code back up data
1.. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data) Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345.
2.*#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

CS6 problem. When I open the Mask panel, it takes up the entire screen width and the Looks controls disappear, Also, there is a new panel below the Mask panel that seems to have no purpose that I can find. The documentation says "Mask and Look panels - The Mask panel is now placed next to the Look panel. WIth the masking and grading tools placed side-by-side, you can now work faster on the mask workflow." Is there a way to move, hide, or otherwise manipulate the panels for a custom layout? All the examples I can find on the Web show the Looks panel to the left of the Mask panel where the controls are available.

Ok, here is what I have so far. Appdelete the iWork and reinstalled. Pages and Number work, but not Keynote.
Now, I downloaded a couple apps that I need, and no matter what I did, the spinning ball came up and the download stopped till it unlocked itself. It is really frustrating because the download was not completed and whatever came through would not mount. Could this issue be the internet connection? Permission fix showed a lot of Airport issues. I will try to run permissions fix again.

How do I turn off voice control for ipod features?

HI,
I'm having an issue with my iphone 4, when using with a 3rd party set of earbud headphones that include an inline microphone, wind and ambient noise cause the voice control to go haywaire. I've found the option to turn off voice dialing for the phone, but can't find a way to shut this off in iPod mode. Help? Please? It's driving me crazy...

I have the same problem with my ipod touch 4th generation. It only started a few days ago after I finally updated it ios 6.1.6; I never knew Voice Control existed on my ipod before then.
It has not happened when I had headphones plugged in, only when it was sitting by itself on a table and I wasn't touching it.
The first time it happened, it was sitting on my night table at 4am while I was sleeping. The second time it happened, it was sitting on my desk at work while I was quietly typing; I had to apologize to my coworkers while I tried to figure out how to make it stop. Just now it happened again, sitting on my kitchen counter while I was on the other side of the room. It has happened about four more times while I was sitting here at the computer researching the problem. I even checked to make sure the case (Otterbox) wasn't pressing on the Home button, and it's not.
I HATE IT!!!!!! It makes me so angry! If I can't figure out a way to make it stop, I'm going to have to stop using it altogether. Is that what you want, Apple? And no, I won't upgrade and buy a newer model; I'll get an Android version.

How to turn off voice control with iPhone 5s with iOS 8

I Dropped my phone in the tub, I have an otterbox on it but it didn't do the phone any good :/. I dried it off and the home button started acting up. And now it doesnt work when i hit it. But the Touch ID still works. However randomly voice control will pop up and call random people when i don't even touch it. I tried going into restrictions > Siri and turning it off I turned off voice

Otterbox cases are not waterproof and are not advertised to be so. For that, you need a Lifeproof case or similar.
If you turn off Siri, Voice Control is enabled. The only way to turn off Voice Control is to turn Siri back on. Your phone has been damaged by immersion in liquid and may never work properly again. Sorry.

I had to erase my data to upgrade my iPhone software from an older version. I backed up first, but seem to have lost all my notes. Does anyone know how retrieve my old notes?

Is this the note you are referring to:
Not sure if this can help you.
I checked my notes. They are stored here:
MacintosHD/Users/MYHOME/Library/Containers/com.apple.notes/Data/Library/CoreData /ExternalRecords/
xxxxxserie.of.numbers.probably.yours.are.different/IMAPNote/_records/0/
If I go tot this window on finder and enter Time Machine I can go back and find old notes...
If so, am I doing this on my new hard drive on on the time machine? When I do this on the time machine, what is "my home"? Also, I am unable to find "containers".
If I go to users/jeff/library, then I see components, compositions, contextual, etc, but not containers.
Thanks
