Some how voice over has been turned on. When I open system preferences I am unable to scroll down. Also, I have to select the icon, then double tap in order to activate.

With VoiceOver 'on' you need to touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off. You should be able to use three fingers on the screen to scroll.


The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :

Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.

So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither


If you have a triple-click of the home button set to turn VoiceOver on/off, so you could try triple-clicking it - and then change Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home
