Voice Over not working after a few days.

Hi, I really need help on this one.
I have a friend who can't do anything without using Voice Over. We downloaded french voices and everything runned perfect for a few days, then it suddenly stopped working. When starting up the computer, we just hear "Talk deactivated" (in french), then nothing more. But the talk option is still "on" on the Voice Over preference panel.
The other problem is that we used the zoom function and made it following the cursor. Now, it just ignores the mouse's movements.
I don't know what to do.
Many thanks by advance !

This is quite a common problem. The usual cause is inadvertent use of the "mute speech" command via the Trackpad Commander.
To toggle VO speech on and off using the Trackpad, tap twice with three fingers simultaneously.
Otherwise, you can summon up the VoiceOver command menu using VO-H-H, type "PAR" (French for "SPEech" and press Return.
For the Zoom problem, open System Preferences —> Universal Access and make sure you tick the "Zoom follows the keyboard focus" checkbox.
You might also want to experiment with the Screen Image radio buttons lower down the window:
• Continuously with pointer (some people find this makes them seasick);
• Only when the pointer reaches an edge (usually preferred); and
• So the pointer is at or near the center of the image (some people like this).
Have you thought of looking at the French language website http://cecimac.org/ ? It's full of articles and tips for beginners, all in French. There is also a very lively e-mail Forum for Francophone VoiceOver users.
Good luck,
Archie

Its a temporary fix and is still looking for the HP driver when i boot up. It also will not save in any print or postscript format. Does anyone know how to fix?

        Oh boy! Acting kind of weird seems to be an understatement, aquaequus!
    What type of troubleshooting were we able to do with you? I want to make sure that we can get some sort of resolution for this problem.
    It is quite possible the battery door may get your phone in working order again. I'm not sure if the store has it in stock, but it is available in our warehouse for $14.99 which can be ordered via customer service.

  • Flash player stops working after a few days.

    I'm recently having issues with flash player on IE and Firefox each time a new version is released. This time the flash player stops working after a few days without any reasons. I have asked two other questions and I have tried the solutions but this time they are not working:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/4617987#4617987

    Could anyone tell me what the reason is?
    I also need links providing Flash player for IE and Firefox which are always updated. I need to first download the installer then install it offline not install it directly from adobe website.
    Please help me solve this once forever!

  • Remote control stops working after a few days

    NW 6 SP3
    ZFD 3.2 SP2
    After importing workstations, remote control works fine. After a few
    days, remote ping might work but NOT remote control. Sometimes even remote ping errors out with the message that the "REMOTE MANAGEMENT
    AGENT
    IS NOT RUNNING"(when it appears it is). If I stop and start the
    "novell
    wuser agent" service, then I can usually remote control the
    workstation
    again. Occasionally, however, I get the message "The Remote
    Management
    agent was unable to locate the workstation in NDS". At which point I
    have
    to delete the workstation object and re-import the workstation to be
    able
    to remote control it again.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I have a different server for each site(city) hosting the import
    services. There is only one variable allowed in DNS so all sites
    would
    try to get services and register to the same server.
    Using the container login script for each site to set the /s parameter
    was
    easier than changing the registry setting for each
    workstation...especially if that server changed. This way I would
    only
    have to change it one place.
    If the workstation has already been registered and imported AND I can
    remote control it, does it NEED to find the import server again if it
    hasn't been rebooted since the last time I remote controlled it?
    Thanks, jg

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • Why are my notes disappearing after a few days?

    I have an I-Phone 5, purchased last March.  I have upgraded to IOS 7 when it first came out, no problem.  I have been making lists of my packing boxes and they keep disappearing after a few days.  I am wondering if sync is wiping them out.  Anyone else having a problem with the notes feature?

  • Voice dial not working after upgrading to iOS 5

    After I upgraded my iPhone 4's operating system to iOS 5, voice dial is not working any more. When I press and hold the home button, voice control is enabled but only music-realted features (such as play, pause, etc) and "what time it is" work. The "dial XXX" and "call NAME" option don't work any more, and in the blue screen that is shown for voice control, I don't see the word "dial" appearing any more.
    My friend who has iPhone 3GS upgraded and she doesn't have this problem.
    Do I have this problem because I made a mistake during upgrade?
    Is there some place where you can specifically disable/enable voice dial?
    Or, is it Apple who disabled this feature, to temp iPhone 4 users to upgrade to iPhone 4S to have that feature back?

    No, because I don't even know how to do that. I just restored the phone to one of the previous backups I had, using iTunes. The OS was unchanged (iOS 5) but the functionality was restored.
    In this process, I lost all my applications, but my notes, contacts, etc were untouched (see below). As for apps, all I had to do was to look at the list of my apps in iTunes, and reinstall them.
    If you want to do the same thing, note that you may lose your contacts or notes if you simply restore an old backup. Before you do so, enable iCloud and make sure your contacts and notes (and other important things) are backed up in iCloud. Then, after restoring your phone, enable iCloud again and it will fetch all the contacts, notes, etc that you might have added after that backup you just restored.

  • Remote stops working after a few days

    I've recently run into a problem at one of my sites. Nothing has been
    changed on the Netware server, and nothing was changed in ZenWorks,
    but I
    get a message stating, "The Remote management agent was unable to
    locate the
    workstation in NDS"
    The server is running eDir 85.27c, NW5.1 SP5, with Zenworks 3.2 sp1.
    I
    checked for NDS synchronization issues, and there are none. The
    server has
    a replica of the partition, and DSRepair comes up clean.
    If I delete the workstation and unregister it, then allow Zen to
    re-register
    and import the workstation, it will work again, for a few days.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Wiki does not respond after a few days

    Hi,
    I have set up the wiki server on a newly bought mac mini (winter 2011) running latest version of Snow Leopard. Authentication is performed through remote Open Directory and Active Directory servers. No third party software installed.
    Everything works just fine for a few days (1-2 weeks), but then the server starts to respond VERY slowly. This looked like a memory problem to me (busy processor, low ram, etc), but a quick look at the Activity Monitor shows me nothing's wrong there.
    I can reboot and it will go on for another few days, but I wonder if this does not hide another problem.
    I'm pretty sure this is a wiki related issue, because we have identical machines, but the ones without web services run smoothly without need for an occasional reboot. Also, I did many fresh install, and the problem always came back.
    Anyone has experienced something similar?

    This is quite a common problem. The usual cause is inadvertent use of the "mute speech" command via the Trackpad Commander.

  • Settings not retained after a few days of non-use

    If I don't use the iPod for a few days, when I turn it on I see the menu for selecting my language. Then I also have to reset my contrast and main menu options, etc. Essentially, my settings are not being retained.
    I can understand the appearance of the Apple logo as the iPod restarts, but I shouldn't have to keep recreating my settings. It didn't used to do this.

    Hi Michael
    Have you had any answers to this as i'm expierencing the same problem.
    If my g3 ipod has not been used for a few days,when i switch it on the contrast as at factory setting & the language option screen is displayed.
    Again like yourself i did not used to have this problem
    i'll keep checking this site for updates however if you have managed to resolve this i would be greatful if you could advise

  • Voice Over Not Working

    Hi,
    I've used voice over in Final Cut Pro before and ever since I hooked up an external monitor it won't work.
    I've just recently bought the M-Audio 410 mixer and would like to use it.
    Could somebody please help?!
    Thanks!
