Why is the voice over working on my nano, although I have reset and disabled it?

Occasionally, the voice over on my ipod nano 7th Gen. would interfere with my music playing. It interrupts songs with saying the song title, band names, things like "Top 25," "My Top Rated," "25 Most Played," etc. In addition, the fast foreward function would sometimes run while I am playing music, although I did not engage it. The music also pauses, skips, and plays without my choice. I have tried disabling voice over and resetting my nano, but the issue persists.How can I stop this from happening, or how may I procceed get this fixed?

This document explains setting up and using VoiceOver.

The overall settings for VoiceOver is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.
Artist name and song name - Press and release the VoiceOver button.
The playlist menu - Press and hold the VoiceOver button.

Why doesn't voice-over work in one portion?

I'm doing my first voiceover and it seems to be fine except for one photo session of clips. For some reason it says I'm recording and all indications are there when finished. But when I playback, it's like the recording didn't work. Other clips in other sessions before and after work fine. Fortunately, it's a small section of clips and I can do without recording, but I would like to know why! You have helped me so much before, and I hope you can again. Thank you.

Not sure why, but sometimes a project will just cease playback of Voiceovers added to it. I've seen this before, but never had it persist into a new project. As with any issues that are specific to a single project, it's usually best to start over, as one problem is quite possibly indicative of further issues down the line with that same project.
As a workaround (if you REALLY want to avoid recreating the project) would be to copy the voiceover files from within the iMovie Project file (browse to your Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder and right-click or CTRL+Click on the name of the project, then click "Show Package Contents") for that project out to your Desktop (or any other accessible location), then drag them back in to add them as a regular audio track. I've used this trick successfully, but it's not 100% (going back to the 'one problem means more later' thing).

HT2529 This morning Voice Over started running on my computer, but when I go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES/INTERNATIONAL ACCESS the Voice Over option is off, so I turned it on and then off, but it's still on. What else can I do to make it stop?

This morning Voice Over started running on my computer when I turned it on. I did not turn Voice Over. Could I have hit a combination of keys on the keyboard that accidentally turned it on? When I went to System Preferences and chose Internation Access it showed that Voice Over was not even on. I turned it on and turned it off to reset it, and it is still running. How is this possible, and how to I get rid of it?

I went to System Preferences, Universal Access, and then VoiceOver for the fiftieth time after you said to check VoiceOver Utility to see if I saw anything odd. On The VoiceOver screen it was actually saying that VoiceOver was on. All day the VoiceOver option was off, and the computer talked to me everytime I logged in. I tried turning it on and off and it still talked to me. Now the VoiceOver option was on, so I turned it off again. Weird! I had tried several combinations of keys again and again as the tech instructed me to do, but we couldn't turn it off, but I have to admit that after my phone went dead I tried everything I could imagine; so maybe in trying to turn the talking off I turned the VoiceOver Option on. Anyway, somewhere along the way it quite talking to me.
Let me ask you a couple of questions. When I clicked on VoiceOver Utility, after turning VoiceOver off, the screen message says: Speak the following greeting after login: Welcome to Mac OSX. VoiceOver is running. I was assuming that it meant VoiceOver was running. That is what it is saying right now. It's not talking to me anymore, but the screen says this whether the VoiceOver icon is on or off. What is this all about. Is it telling me that Voice Over is still running when I see this, or what? After all, even when the OFF icon was chosen the computer still spoke to me when I hit each key upon logging in. After you read the rest of this you will understand why I am asking if it is still running even though it's not talking to me.
There is a box that appears and says "Portable Preferences for (Jane Doe) have been detected on (JaneDoe). Would you like to use them? Always Use / No / Yes What does that mean?
Last but not least. I was looking around and was clicking on Application, Documents, etc. When I clicked on Documents, only four things came up even though there are tons of documents on my computer. All four of them have to do with VoiceOver, and they were labeled as documents. One of the documents had this in it:
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking KBToVO
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking VOToTXT
SCRConfiguration Cursor Tracking VOToKB
I'm not a computer genius, so maybe I just don't know what I'm looking at. Is it normal for something like this to be found under documents? All of these were dated today, and the problems started today. I haven't gone to bed yet, so even though it's after midnight it's still the same day to me. Anyway, none of the documents were dated before this problem started. On top of that, I have tons of documents on my computer, but when I clicked on Documents, those four are the only ones that showed up. After trying to decipher the programming language on them, I went to click on Applications and hit Documents again, and all the documents came up. I scanned the list and didn't see them, but there are so many documents on here that I haven't had time to slowly go over them to see if I missed those four documents somehow. Since then I haven't been able to get just those four to appear by themselves again.
Now, is it possible that I still have a hacker and he knows through a key logger everything I am communicating to you and the Apple Store, Maybe he did made a mistake and accidentally caused this problem, and through logging every key I have typed he has learned about his mistake and fixed it. He could still be key logging me now without me knowing it; or maybe he removed the keylogger, because he know I'm taking it in to the Apple Store and can tell them now exactly what to look for.
It is either a hacker, or I have a very vivid imagination. What do you think?

MAC Voice Over: Why does the screen view lag behind the voice over audio?

MAC Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
When using voice over on a MAC with DE 1.8 - most times when paging thru a pdf file/book the voice and the view are inconsistent. When using VO - moving to the next page with the right arrow key - the audio starts to read the next page (correct), but the display is one page behind (not correct). For readers - especially those that have significant visual impairment - this will not work for them. Is this a defect - and if so - I would be very happy to re-test this feature if a new revision of DE 1.8 is provided.
I am unsure this is the correct forum to raise issues such as this one. I am in the process of evaluating Adobe DE 1.8 - my sister is blind and I am trying to move her to a MAC with VO. I really appreciate Adobe's effort in supporting JAWS and MAC VO - thank you on behalf of all disabled folks out there.
Below is a detailed list of steps to re-produce this audio/screen inconsistency issue.
- Install DE 1.8 and add to the dock
- Add a pdf file/book to DE 1.8. For my issue, I am adding the "Voice Over Getting Started" guide.
- Turn on Voice Over - Cmd+F5
- Using VO - Go to the dock and select DE and start it. The "Last Read Book" typically is the focus for the VO cursor. Then using VO next item (VO+right arrow) - move the VO cursor to "Library Content Table". This is the list of books that are displayed in DE.
- Using the up/down keyboard arrows - move up and down thru the books in the content list. At this point - you should already see that the VO audio announcing the title of a book is not synchronized with the row in the table that is displayed. The voice is announcing a book that you selected, but the display is showing the previous book.
- Once you hear (not see) the book you want to test with, hit <enter>. DE will open the book and start to read using VO. At this point the screen and audio for the first page in the book are the same.
- Once the book has been opened by DE - Using the right arrow key navigate to the next page in the pdf/book. Normally the right arrow key is the short cut to allow a user to move forward or backwards thru a book, one page at a time.
- With DE and VO - what happens is that VO responds to the right arrow key and starts to read the next page. But the screen is still showing the previous page. Hence the screen and the VO audio are out of sync.
- For anyone that uses MAC VO - this will prevent them from using Adobe DE 1.8.
If I am doing something incorrect - please let me know. If you need any assistance or further information regarding this issue - please email me.
Best Regards

hi, Mike R:
Thanks for your information. We have tested several Mac machines, iMac and MBP (use the same version as yours). But we can't reproduce the issue. Actually working with VoiceOver is a fundamental request for our application, we did test them before releasing the build.
We suggest you test other applications, e.g. Finder, Preview and iTunes, to make sure if VoiceOver works fine with them. Or can you please check if your VoiceOver settings are correct?

I have iOS7 on my iPhone4. I turned on the Voice Over option and now my phone is not working at all. At first it was freezing and not accepting any commands. Now all I have is a blank sceen. I can't get back into it. Any ideas what happened here?

Why Why does the voice dictation only work some applications

Why does the voice command on my iPhone only work in certain applications

In the end, it's up to the app's developer to add or not those features. And also why there is a ratings and review system for each submission to the App Store. If you think an app should include support for some specific iOS technology (such as Voiceover), let the developer know.
And of course, there's another filter. Apple wants all iPhone apps to have a uniform operations look and feel. So they publish a guide to iOS Human Interface Guidelines, and expect developers to follow. They give some leeway, but if an app grossly violates them, it does not make it into the store. Here's a link to the Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UserExperience/Conceptual /MobileHIG/Introduction/Introduction.html

Hello,
We are aware if the 'black box' issue with the shim installer (downloaded from get.adobe.com/flashplayer), however, this should not be the case with the full installer.

Lost the voice over bt function after removing battery

I have a new Treo 800w and a new Plantronics 925 bt headset. I installed the voice over bt software, established a connection, and was able to use it to make voice calls (call john smith). I removed the battery to record serial numbers etc. When the Treo came back on, I reinstalled the voice software as advised. Now I can answer calls and talk using the headset, but I cannot get the voice commands to work again. I have not installed any third party software. Any suggestions?

Not sure why you re-installed the software again after a soft reset. Taking out the battery and re-inserting the battery is a soft reset. See the instructions in the article below for the hard reset procedure.
The program may have gotten corrupted when you installed over the top of the existing installiation.
Here is the statement from the download page regarding re-installing the patch.Effect of resets on this softwareIf you install the Voice Dialing over Bluetooth Download and perform a hard reset, you will need to re-install the Voice Dialing over Bluetooth Download.
If you install the Voice Dialing over Bluetooth Download and perform a soft reset, no action is necessary. The Voice Dialing over Bluetooth Download remains installed after a Soft Reset.
You may need to uninstall the program and re-install. The fastest way is to Hard reset the Treo and then re-install. the hard reset will erase all data on the Treo, so make sure you sync before hard resetting.

Another option is to delete the application and then re-install without doing a hard reset.

Why does the clone stamp work when I go from a darker colour to a lighter colour but not the other way around. How can I lighten up a dark area? Lasso tool takes from the wrong area too.

Why do you use the Blend Modes Lighter and Darker at all in this case and not simply Normal?
And what kept you from posting a screenshot?
I borrowed the image below for an HDR workshop I ran at the 2010 PSNZ National Convention, to demonstrate a method of removing halos. You'll remember that halos were a serious problem with early HDR, and while the halos in this image were caused by over sharpening, they are perfect for demonstrating this technique.
It relies on the fact that halos so often tend to put a lighter tone between the two areas where sharpening is being applied. Whether that is the sky abutting a dark line of hills, or the rock and little tower as in this image. I've uploaded it at the size it was supplied to me at (about 2700 pixels wide). So
Click to open the full image, right click and copy, and paste into Photoshop.
Select the clone tool, and set its blend mode to Darken.
Try to sample on a line horizontal to where you want to clone, to give the best tonal match, and start cloning.
Because the sky is darker than the halo, it overwrites it. But the rock is darker than the sky, so it has no affect.
It works even better if you clone on a new layer also set to Darken. No masking, just Photoshop blend mode magic.
You can also fix the little tower. Use a great big brush — just remember to sample horizontal to match the horizon.
Back then I was using the same trick with CAs after forgetting to fix them in ACR, and having done too much work to start again after spotting the problem.

Can I setup my new macbook air without the voice over?

I was given a new macbook air as a gift and if it cannot be setup or used without the voice over feature I will have to return it. I cannot imagine why anyone would think this is a good idea. I just want to use it like a laptop.... is that too much to ask?

I'm having the same exact issue. Got it as a gift, and can't get past the set up. I would try the fix dominic suggested, IF I could just get past the "What country do you live in" question. It won't let me select a country, and so far, can't access anything else on this thing until I get past that part... which I can't, after trying for 3 hours now.
The steps given in the 'voiceover' tutorial don't seem to do anything, but cause system error beeps.
I can't select a country via the 'mouse pad' either.

Just want to get started. I am unable to move beyond the voice over welcome screen. Any advice would be welcome.

I just want to get started with my new out of the box MacAir. I canot move beyond the voice over welcome screen. It seems to be stuck. What do I need to do to advance out of it?

Bt seem to have got their act together. After six days! All of a sudden it works. What a surprise, shame their help desk would not admit anything was wrong.

IPad quit working but voice over works...?

My dad used his iPad all the way till it died, then when he tried plugging it back in, it wouldn't come on. So now it's just a plain black screen. We have charged it, and we have reset it numerous times and the logo only comes on for a split second then goes off. The voice over is the only thing that works. We keep reseting it and sometimes little glitches of the screen will come on for a nano-second and thats it. How do we fix this? And we have updated it on iTunes and charged it with different chargers and everything.

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
