Voice Over ... Help lock settings icon

is there an app or a way to protect the settings like have a passcode ...my son has been turning on the voice over. thanks!!!

There is no way to pascode lock the settings app or any of the other built in apps. you can enable some restrictions on the iPad - Safari, YouTube, FaceTime and you can restrict some content, but you can't passcode lock the apps.

Turned on Voice Over Now locked out

Hi,
After updated the ios7.0.2 I was on line reading all the new things you could do with the new upgrades. One being Voice Over. Thinking it meant and by reading the article I could talk to text. I believe it was in the Accessability screen. So I turned on Voice Over. l adusted the speed of the voice then went to Messages and clicked on to text my husband to try it out. Once I got there I didn't see a micrphone so I thought maybe I need to go back and hit an apply button. Went back, no apply so I went back to messages and the whole time I'm touching things the Voice is talking. Now I realize it's not to talk to text but just to say everything you touch. UGH!! So I go back to unclick the Voice Over but need to go back on more page to the Accessability but it will not let me. It does not allow me to get out of Voice Over so the phone keeps talking. Then it froze and locked me out!!! I can not unlock my phone now, I have hard booted it down but that has not helped. I am a novice and thought whoo-hoo I can talk and text now!! Not so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you so very much.
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.2

Not clear what you mean by "locked out." Also "hard boot" isn't an iPhone procedure - did you reset the phone (pressing both home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears)?

Voice Over Help-How do I stop unwanted scrolling?

Okay so I've just discovered the voice over feature a few days ago and I've already learned the controls and have been using it for reading fanfiction on Safari because I'm too lazy to read it myself. My problem is that everytime I lock my screen or my battery runs low and it gives me a warning, **** even if I go to another tab or try to have a word defined for me, after I'm done the screen will annoyingly scroll to the top of the **** page! Leaving me to do that annoying three finger scroll thing to get all the way back to where I was. I've checked my setting to see if there was a way to make it stop but I couldn't find anything. I already searched it on the internet but most-**** if not all of the questions regarding the voice over is how to turn it off.
So can somebody please tell me there is a way to make it stop scrolling to top of the screen everytime I divert from the page I was originally on? I fear that there isn't and I'm going to but stuck with this annoying feature forever. Seriously why would the programmers program for that to happen? It has no usefulness that I can think of, if I wanted to scroll to the top of the page I would do so by using the two finger flick up.

Well that's good enough for me, I'm not as agitated as I was before about it. I actually found a way to stop it from scrolling up by quickly tapping the screen before it's to late. It's worked for everything except when I go to a new page and come back. I assume voice over was meant for a blind person and not a lazy person like me.
Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.

N96 incoming call voice over HELP

I've just bought the Nokia N96. Every time i receive a call i hear my ring tone BUT then a computer voice talks over the ring tone saying (or attempting to pronounce) the name. How do i switch this annoying voice off? I only want to hear my ring tone.

I find it highly annoying too.

IPhone 4s voice over locked phone

Hi does anyone know how to unlock the phone as it's saying when I enter my password that it's incorrect as the voice over is locking the keys some how? Any ideas please

With voice over you highlight whater you are trying to select and then double tap anwhere on the screen to select.
So for your password of 1234 you have to
"highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
In order to remove the only option i know of is to reset your phone.
1.     In order to do so, highlight "setting"
        Double tap screen to go into settings
2.      use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down
3.     highlight reset, then double tap on the screen
4.     From there you can follow instructions to reset your phone.
You dont lose any data or music if you reset.
Hope this helps.

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

HT201406 In my Ipod touch 8GB a box like thing appears when I try to open any application along with a voice over. When I tried switching it off, it says voice over always on in the settings and makes it impossible to turn it off. pls help.

You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:

Voice-over button hangs/locks

Hello,
hope someone can help me with my voice-over problem. When I push the record button in iMovie to do an voice-over the record button locks/hangs after almost one second, the green indicator is also freezing. When I try to pusch it again the turning colored icon is started but nothing works after that. Then I have to wait for about 10 minutes before the colored icon stops and then a large voice-over track is building in soundtrack 1. This will take some time and it goes all the way with the lenght of my film. When I klik the timeline it stops.
I have also tried it with a slide show but the result remain the same.
The VU meter is working OK (green-yellow), it responds very sensitivety on my speaking.
Thanks in advance and excuses for my English.

The problem was no longer excist after the last iMovie updates.

I have these black boxes around my active pages, but I have voice-over disabled, any help?

I have these black boxes around my active pages, I looked online for pointers but they all pointed to me disabling my voice-over in the universal access option on system preferences. My voice-over wasn't enabled and the boxes are still here, any help?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

How do I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked?

How can I disable voice over from my ipad while it's locked? I accidentally activated it on my mum's ipad and now she's panicking! Haven't been able to put in her password so a little bit of help asap would be appreciated. Tried double tapping the passcode in but still didn't work! Thanks

How did you turn it on, via Settings or a triple-click of the home button ? You could try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling ; so to type a digit of the passcode tap the digit so that it gets a box around it and then double-tap it to type it) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

Use two taps wherever you would use one tap. Navigate to Settings/General/Accessibility and turn it off.
