Voice over keeps switching on automatically

I kept having issue with my voice over switching on automatically on my Ipod nano during exercise. After about 20min of exercise it would automatically start announcing song title and playlists continually. After restoring settings and ensuring voice over was off in settings it would be ok for ~20min before frustratingly happening again during next work out. Read an online chat with other users having similar issues with high end earphones and sweat somehow getting into the controls on the earphone cord and switching on voice over. Switched to low end earphones and problem now fixed but missing sound quality. Is there anyway to fix permanently ?

I just try the log out and log back in thing and it did not turn back on. I then tried restarting all together and it did not turn back on. So i guess it is fixed. I wish i knew what happened to have it turn back on though. I'm really sure how i could have accidentally hit cmd & F5 to turn it on but i guess i must have. I was probably adjusting the volume and some how had my finger on the cmd button instead of 'fn'. Another I D 10 T error lol.
Thanks for the help. I'll prob be back if it comes back on though. I'll make sure i dont hit the cmd and f5 key together.

  • Voice Over Keeps turning on.

    First of before you guys start in I already know how to turn of the voice over in sys prefs and using the F5 method. I have also checked my log on items and there are only two things there. One is disabled and the other is ICAL.
    Problem: Voice over turns back on every time I restart my computer and I hate it. It is getting really annoying to have to turn it off every time I start my computer. the only thing I can think of is to maybe create some sort of script to automatically turn it off, but there has to be a better way. Feel free to ask me the stupid questions, apart from the things that I already tried.
    Btw, my computer is a mac book pro with os x leopard and is fully updated according to the update thing.

  • 'Voice Over' Keeps Listing Audiobooks?

    Hey all,
    I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem. The Voice Over will keep listing my audiobooks if I do the following:
    1. Pause the book I was listening to
    2. Let it turn itself off
    3. Turn the device back on using the center button
    By "keep listing", I mean it will continually say the book title and author then the next and it will repeat until I restart.
    I love my pod, its just the Voice Over is too annoying to justify being left on. When and if Apple fixes this, I might turn it back on.
    So, does anyone else's Nano have this problem?

  • HT2471 Wifi trouble- keeps switching off automatically.. Help

    Hi
    Currently using an imac late 2009 with updated OX lion 10.7.4- Having trouble with the wifi, it switches off automatically every 5 to 10 mins but doesn't prompt me for a password when I switch back on. Appreciate any help out there. thank you!

    Hey G,
    This is a common problem with wifi. The obvious answer is that your channel you have setup your WLAN on is experiencing noise from the surrounding devices (including other dodgy routers) and interferring with the signal.
    Try changing your channel number on your router to another channel, usually automatically set to 11. I had no end of problems exactly like this but as soon as I changed channels, not a single drop even after three months.

  • Voice Over keeps saying things!

    At first I thought it was just a programs setting. I have it so this program, weather snitch, would open each time I logged in and it shows a weather icon (sun, cloud, etc) and the temp. Every now and then my computer's voice over (which is set to off) would say the city and the temperature. So, I turned that program off. Then, when using FireFox, it said there was an update for something. It just said something now about Safari now. How do I stop this? It is very annoying!

    The voice overs have stopped for some reason, maybe because I checked and then unchecked the voice over box. I don't know, but thanks anyways!
    That often happens; changing a setting seems to force the program to take it into account properly.

  • IPhone4 HomeButton Not Working & Voice Cntrl Keeps Popping Up

    Yesterday my home button stopped working & the Voice Control (not voice over) keeps popping up.  This happened 3 other times this year.  I've backed it up in iTunes, and every time I try to restore it, it just keeps telling me it see's a phone in recovery mode.  This is the most frustrating thing in the world to deal with right now.
    Does anyone have any advice before I just throw it against a wall?  Seriously I would if I weren't expecting an important call.
    In the meantime, I went to Settings/General/Accessibility and turned on the Assistive Touch so I now have a stupid little make believe home button floating around on my screen to atleast help me temporarily with the Home Button not working issue...
    Help!

    A little late here but if you're still facing the issue there are a couple of things you can try.
    From what you've said about Voice Control popping up, it looks like yours is a completely hardware issue. So all those gimmicks about software recalibration might not work. You should check out http://www.igeeksblog.com/iphone-home-button-not-working/ where there are some fixes for an unresponsive home button.
    Alternatively, you can try whacking the back of the phone (right behind the home button, with your knuckle) and check if that fixes the thing temporarily.
    The best thing would be to get to the Apple Store and let the guys fix it. Even if it costs money... because that way, you get the issue sorted or at least know where you stand.

  • Siri switching on automatically

    iPhone 5 - Siri is switcing on automatically and informs me " Siri Not available Connet to the internet". If I disable siri, voice control gets switched on automatically. I have tried restoring the phone. Even that has not helped ! This is very irritating since the screen changes and sometimes even interrupts an ongoing conversation.

    I do not wish to hear about warm climes, it snowed overnight and it's cold here. I like to imagine that there's nowhere else in the world that has a different climate, that way I don't get upset at people lolling on beaches while I am freezing!
    Also, Rod (in a warm climate) has a very good point, it would be worth checking to see if your fall under Apple's Repair extension programs.

  • TS3274 My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password.  It's asking for a password of zero value. How can I correct this.

    My Air Ipad keeps switching to voice-over, and it will not allow me to enter my password. It keeps saying that I've entered the wrong password.  It's asking for a password of zero value. When I enter my personal password that I created, it say it the wrong password, then it say try again in 5 minutes and shuts itself down.  Is anyone else having this issue and how can I fix it?

    Hello SharonLo
    Your best bet would be to restore your iPad if it is not accepting your passcode. Check out the article below to walk you putting your iPad into recovery mode and using iTunes to restore it.
    iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • Transition to next slide automatically at end of voice over clip

    I have been trying to configure my Keynote 09 presentation so that each slide has it's own voice over audio clip. When the audio clip ends I would like to have the presentation move onto the next slide automatically. I cannot for the life of me find settings that tall the slide transition to take place when an audio clip ends.
    I do not want to set a slide time to 8 seconds if the audio is 8 seconds. I update the audio too much to keep adjusting slide timings.
    Can Keynote do this?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    To the best of my knowledge, no.
    Having said that, if it takes you 1 minute to re-record audio file and re-insert audio to KN, it takes you 2 seconds to change the transition time so not sure your grief is so dramatic. Have to inspectors visible when you are replacing audio. One inspector on QT to show time length one inspector on Slide to change the transitions. If it is to dramatic then *Apple Menu > Keynote Feedback…* and ask for a build option that detects media elapsed time / end time is best suggestion I can offer.

  • Voice-overs: How to *automatically* remove breaths, clicks; improve voice?

    Hi, i edit voice-overs for tutorials (not commercials) in Audition CC 2014. I know how to manually edit out
    - breathing, inhalation (just ahead of a new sentence)
    - clicks
    I've read some and tried some, but still don't know how to
    - edit out breathing *automatically*
    - edit out clicks automatically
    - do "fade out – almost silence – fade in" automatically
    - give more substance to my voice with a filter
    When editing out breathing manually, usually i replace breathing by "silence" (don't simply cut it away). But sometimes i would like to replace breathing by "fade out – almost silence – fade in", which sounds more natural. I can do this manually (and assigned keys F1, F2, F3 to the three commands); but can i do "fade out – almost silence – fade in" automatically?
    My initial recording is not too bad, but i want to give my voice a little more "substance". I tried the recommended "Broadcast" filter, but it sounds to flashy and aggressive. There is another filter called "Male Voice" (or some such), but it seems not to change anything.
    I also wonder: If i
    - use a filter
    - edit clicks and breathing manually,
    should i apply the filter before the manual editing? I think i should, because breathing and clicks sound different after filter and shoul be judged with filter applied. But then – if i decide to remove the filter, it would be better to apply it at last.
    So here are my questions:
    - Is there a controlled way to remove breathing and clicks automatically?
    - Which filter gives my male voice more substance without "blasting"?
    - How to "fade out – almost silence – fade in" automatically?
    Thanks!

    Steve, thanks for more good advice including positioning of the mic!
    I am just an amateur - a text writer who was forced by ruthless customers to not just produce manuscripts, but also video tutorials, w/out knowing how to, but wishing not to sound as "garage" and "panting" as many others on YouTube (apart from "verbose"). So for my "productions", i write, speak and edit all in one.
    The microphone is a USB Blue Yeti, which looks roughly like a tabletop lamp. It seems popular. I set it to one-directional recording (only front direction.) I have tried about ten different mics, including even more expensive headsets, but i get the rather most consistent results with the Yeti. I also use a windshield (got better recordings after starting to use it) and for recording, i build some kind of tent with woollen blankets on top of a table (so that i can stand upright and talk in a "muted" space). Before and while talking, i will drink buckets of warm water or herbal tea perhaps with fresh lemon, nothing cold, no coffee/black tea/dairies; i've experienced this helps. I've still to understand how to harrumph best.
    On the laptop used for audio recording i can't run Audition, but i record with the freeware Audacity (is that audacious?), save as .flac and edit on a different PC in Audition.
    On the expensive headset microphones i tried, i heard more breathing and – to my surprise – more up and down in volume. I have some, but less, variations in volume also with the Blue Yeti files; so sometimes in Audition i have to change a single sentence by 1,5 or 2,5 dB. I wish that could be done automatically, but perhaps it can?
    Previously you also said that breathing is natural and should stay in the audio. I don't want to fully keep the breathing in – that might be ok for some emotional music or movie, but not for tutorials. But i'd prefer to lower rather than fully suppress breaths; that's why i asked for automatic "fade out – almost silence – fade in". I can do this by selecting three different bits of audio and then select three different commands (now by keyboard shortcuts). But it's too much clicking and i might simply glue silence over most of the exhaust sound.
    I've also tried to wear a headphone during voice recording, closed as well as open headphones. It confused me no end, i was literally speechless (very unpro i guess). But i connect external speakers to the recording laptop and check on results immediately (and keep an eye on the volume levels in Audacity).
    I will print your instructions for microphone positioning and try to follow them exactly next time. But i wasn't much off anyway.
    Thanks again!

  • Recently, voice over automatically activates on my Macbook.

    I notice it doesn't show up until I logoff (e.g., if I want to switch to another user account).  Then it starts announcing and highlighting everything on the logon page.  I can turn it off with the command-F5 key toggle, but it wasn't automatically turning on before.  The "voice over" setting is not checked in Settings.  Anyone else having this issue?

    Not sure which settings you are referring to ...
    Deselect Enable VoiceOver in System Preferences > Accessibility > VoiceOver

    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

  • How can I get voice over clips to automatically go into its own folder in CS6

    When I make a voice over clip while in PP CS6, the clip goes into the project folder. I want them to automatically go into the folder that corresponds to the clip I am doing the voice over for, but I can't seem to do this unless I manually move the clip over..

    Thanks for your help here, but I made a mistake in presenting my problem.
    I meant getting them to go into the selected bin, not folder, my mistake. Prior to recording the voice over, I highlight the bin I want the .wav file to go into and when finishing the recording, it goes into the project window, not into the selected bin. The only way I can get it into the bin is to manually move it there.
    Do you know how to solve my problem by having the voice over go into the preselected bin?
