Q: My ipod nano won't stop talking.

My ipod nano suddenly started talking and won't shut up. The voice over function in accessibility is off but it keeps talking, announcing songs, running through the contents of the ipod. How dod I shut it up?

iPod nano, version 1.0.3 Mac

    The problem could be your headphones.  I encountered this on an iPod nano 6th gen after a few years with a set of Monster headphones with inline mic. Out of the blue, the iPod would start reading out song titles and artists.  I noticed that coating on the headphone connector had started to crack, causing some wires to become exposed.  The problem disappeared once I swapped headphones.

    I had this problem too and it seemed to be my headphones.

     

    My old headphones made the ipod talking and switching songs. When I used another wired headphones or bluetooth headphones the problem disappeared.
