Voice over comes on indiscriminately

New ipod nano worked fine for a few months, now the voice over comes on indiscriminately while listening to music and sometimes will read every platlist, it will sometimes skip to the next song in the middle of the first song. The voice over feature is always turned off when I check it

First, make sure voiceover is off.
Connect to your computer and view the nano in iTunes.
On the summary screen there should be a button titled "Configure Universal Access". If there is no button of this kind, install the 1.1 update for the Nano. At the summary screen, the update button should indicate that the 1.1 update is available for you.
After you update to 1.1, find the button mentioned above. Click it and make sure all the check boxes are NOT checked. Then sync.
Now see if everything works for you.
If this does not work, restore the ipod.
If none of that solves it, it sounds like the sweat you are generating from your run is causing the problem. If you have a headset with controls on it, your sweat can get into the controls and simulate a press and hold of the button which would cause the nano to speak the current track.

HT2270 music does not play only voice over comes on

battery is charged but music doesn't play. voice over comes on

Which button are you pressing on the shuffle to play? On the current (4th gen) shuffle, the button along the edge, next to the power switch, is the VoiceOver button.

Voice over comes out very fast

I have CS5.5 and everything works smoothly except for voice overs. when I record a voice over (audio track 2) the level indicators don't show anything but the voice over is recorded. However when played back it is running at something around Alvin & the Chipmunks speed. I usually get it to slow down and at that point the level indicators work but I have no idea what I have done actually fixes it. I am using the same microphone and sounds system that worked fine in CS5 and works fine in here when I get the playback slowed down. If I restart CS5.5 and go back to the project I worked on earlier the old voice overs play back fine but the new recording are fast again, until I click enough stuff and it slows down for some reason!
What could I be doing wrong? I can't find anything obvious in the settings or preferences.

Well, with VO work, the trick is to get someone with a good baritone voice, and have them not speak too quickly...
OK, let's actually look at the problem. Having material at a vastly different Sample-Rate can cause problems, but you should not have this happening, as you are recording to a Project/Sequence that is set up properly. Scratch one thought.
With AV work, having a really slow HDD can cause issues and those are often first seen in Audio. You are using the same gear, and sometimes it works, while other times it does not. Scratch the second thought.
Now, you probably need to slow down, as you "click through things," and chart exactly what you are clicking on, and what finally works. You are doing something that fixes the situation, but you, and we, do not know what that is. You need to find out what you are changing, that does make it work. Then, perhaps you can make that change going in, and get things to behave properly. Only you can do that, as we'd just be guessing, and probably run you in too many circles.
With Audio, there are also a ton of settings for playback, for hardware, or recording, and then for playback, many more at the OS and hardware levels. This is but a guess, but I'd say that there is some setting that differs in your PrPro CS5.5 installation/setup, that was correct in your CS5. I would pour over ALL Audio, Audio Hardware, and then Project/Sequence settings, looking for anything that might be different.
What often happens, when one upgrades, is that when they installed and set up their original program, they step thorugh all the settings in Preferences and elsewhere, and get things tuned just right. Along comes an upgrade, and they now install it, assuming that everything will work, just as with the previous version, but now, "right out of the box." If the installation defaults do work 100%, then all is well, but if the user had made custom choices in Preferences, or elsewhere, then the defaults do not cut it.
It appears that in your process of solving this problem, you ARE making a change in settings along the way, and that might well be the FIX that you need.
Good luck,
Hunt

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?
I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

Hi punisherbv,
Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

Problem with Decklink card during voice over

Hi,
i have PMG5 2.5 GHz with FCS & Blackmagic Decklink extreme card.
all these days i had a great time working on FCP . till i faced a peculiar problem
when i am capturing video from Beta or DV 50 , i am able to select video Only or Audio only , or Video & Audio .
but when iam trying to capture Audio Only option through the the Mic which is connected to the mixer, i am not able to capture audio.
even i have noticed one more strange thing, i have tried Voice Over tool in FCP 5.04 with Decklinik card and i am not able to grab any audio through the Decklink card.
but i can use built in audio for my voiceover.
has anybody come across this kind of problem,
can somebody help me .

Hi Rajendra,
your questions is marked as solved, but I haven't seen your question answered, so I might be wasting time. Anyway.
I bumped into the same problem not long ago. I'm using a Multibridge, but the problem and solution are the same. Here's the reply I got from Kristian Lam over at Blackmagic:
In order to get vo tool in Final Cut Pro HD to work, these are the
steps to follow:
1) Video Input in Blackmagic DeckLink preferences is set to match the audio input type. For example, if you're recording via the XLR connectors of your card, then then 'Inputs' under 'DeckLink Video Connections' must set to analog. It doesn't matter if it's component or composite analog video.
2) In the View menu of Final Cut Pro HD, set External Video to “Off”. When finished with the Voice Over tool, set External Video to “All Frames” to use the broadcast monitor.
3) You must have a stable video signal going into the card when using the vo tool or Final Cut Pro HD will not see the audio. (or use a Blackburst generator)
4) Use the Displays menu to set the DeckLink desktop to the same format as the video source, eg. NTSC 720 x 486.
Well, then select your Decklink Card in the Voiceover Input selection. Even after I had done all that, I couldn't see any audio coming into FCP. The solution to that was to raise the Trim at the top of the mixer. I got a nice signal into the Mackie and voilà also sound into FCP.
Hope this helps,
Colin

FCP - Voice Over problem

I have a FCP system set up which includes an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. This includes audio from a video deck as well as other audio inputs, such as a studio condenser mic connected for voice overs. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my big problem. When I'm recording voice over, whilst there is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones (I am able to hear the audio cue countdown), I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers for that matter). The microphone is working fine... when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. I cannot understand why this should be. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? HELP!.... Thank you.

Thanks for responding. Where do I find the checkbox that allows playthrough? What's it called... and which menu is it in? Thanks

Does anyone know how to monitor a microphone when using Voice Over tool?

I use Final Cut studio in conjunction with an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my problem. When I'm recording voice over, I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers). There is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones as I am able to hear the audio cue countdown. The microphone is working fine too - when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? Many thanks, AW

its not that you've anything screwy going on .. this is the way it is engineered to work.
the pre-existing audio (and cues) is routed to the headphones but not the voice being recorded.
the solution is to use an audio mixer to monitor both the voice over and the timeline

Iphone 5s on iOS 8 stuck in accessibility voice over mode

Not actually a question, but more of a solution!!!
I went to my local Indian restaurant earlier and his phone was stuck in Accessibility mode. Having come home, and fiddling around with Settings > Accessibility > Voice Over, I accidentally turned voice over on, and the same problem persisted with me.
Firstly, a message came on my screen to ask whether or not I wanted to confirm, and if I wanted to cancel - press the home screen button. Having pressed the home screen button, the message stayed on the screen and the voice over kept repeating itself.
I then tried to restart my phone (Home and lock) but then I was just stuck within my lock screen and couldn't input my password.
To fix:
Double tap the home button to get onto your password lock screen.
Click the first digit of your password so the voice over repeats the number. Then double click the number again. - this should register.
Repeat the process until all digits have registered (it may take some perseverance). Your phone should unlock once all digits have registered.
Click settings (until it repeats the word) and then double click. You will notice, trying to scroll down that you are unable to. Turn your phone onto Aeroplane mode (you should have got the gist of how to select things and turn things on/off by now).
Once your phone is in aeroplane, click accessibility and then voice over, and once turned off your phone will work fine.

Recovery mode doesn't mean that all your data is already lost. You only lose your data if you restore it.
When you plug the phone is into iTunes hold down the home button. iTunes may then give you the option JUST to update the software first. This should not get rid of any data.
However, if iTunes is only giving you the option to RESTORE and update, then you will lose your data I'm afraid.
Hope that helps!

Iphone 5s black screen with Voice Over On

I turned on Voice Over on my iphone 5s and it started to repeat everything, so I had to punch 2 or 3 times some commands in order to go back and suddenly my screen blacked out. I have tried to restart the iPhone and can see the silver apple, but again I can hear the commands (I can still hear all the commands (Voice Over On, Screen Curtain On, 8:45, Screen Locked) but can’t see anything on the screen. Please help!

Hello promomap,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with Voice Over. Try turning off the Screen Curtain by triple tapping the screen with three fingers.
Additionally, you can turn Voice Over off completely using these steps:
Press the home button three times quickly. This is also called "Triple-click Home".
If the VoiceOver feature still is on, you can navigate to Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off here.
If it is too difficult to access those settings on your iPhone, you can turn VoiceOver off using iTunes:
Managing accessibility features using iTunes
Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
In iTunes, select your device.
From the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

How do i add a voice over to imovie

How do i add a voice over to an imovie project?

Here is a good Video Tutorial from Apple.

Is there a way to restore deleted voice overs in iMovie 11?

I recorded something through iMovie 11 once and then accidentally deleted it. It's no longer in my project. Is there a way to somehow retrieve this audio file? Does a voice over file even exist on the mac, or does it only exist on the project screen, something that can be gone for good if you press "delete?" If an actual file does exist, where can I find it on the mac? Spotlight won't help.

You need to select the Blue Yeti as your input device.
First go to System Preferences/Sound and click on Input Device. Make sure your Blue Yeti is in the list and selected. Make sure the red light is on on your Blue Yeti. After a period of unuse, it may turn itself off.
Then, in iMovie, start your Voiceover session by pressing the Microphone on the middle toolbar. You will get a screen like this where you can choose the Blue Yeti.
Then follow the instructions here.

After you have recorded your voiceover, you can select the Voiceover Track and make additional adjustments in the Audio Inspector. For example you can use the Graphic Equalizer.
Having said all that, Garageband is a great tool if you need even more adjustments. You can export your movie to the Media Browser and do this in GarageBand, or, you can record a voice track in Garageband, render it as AIFF, and use it in IMovie.

Looking for a reading App. iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle. I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. Voice over works, but monotone!

Looking for a reading App.
iPad (iOS 7.1.2) - Kindle.
I am looking for a good app that can help a college student with reading books that cannot be found on audio book. I have tried voice over and it works but it's very monotone and it really strings things together.
- I'm willing to pay for a good app but I can't seem to sort though the many that are out there. Any suggestions.

Ah. I'm surprised, but there we go.
Have a look here ...

Didn't have time to do more than skim, but 'Ardour' looked promising. Protools is the only one I've used, the full product is one of the industry standards, but the free 'lite' version listed here seems to be limited to 2 in/out as well.
Referring to your original post, I'd think trying to write or 'script' something would be a nightmare ... synchronisation of streams within something like Applescript would be a major issue, quite apart from anything else.

You should be able to turn it off on the iPad by using 'a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process' and 3 fingered scrolling to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn it 'off' (so to use the 'slide to unlock' tap the slider and then double-tap it, and to type your passcode tap a digit and then double-tap it etc), or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064
