Solution for Voiceover kit installation issues. Errors 1260 and 1701. [MAC Only]

How come I don't have an iTunes folder in '/library/Application Support' on Sierra, with latest iTunes ?

Can I just create that folder and drop the ipodvoiceOver file in there ?? ... well I'm going to do that and report here anyway !

Ciao

This worked perfectly for me; Thanks!

Hi,

For people who want some more details, my understanding is that the VoiceOver framework simply never completes installation on OS X 10.10, 10.11. Same applies on macOS Sierra (10.12).

I used a virtual machine to install OS X Lion (10.7, 64-bits) and plugged my iPod Shuffle into it. It did properly install the VoiceOver Kit and I could test it worked. Once you have to VoiceOver.framework and all of its content (indeed ~80 MB), proceeding to copy it to your recent OS X / macOS as mariosilva describes does indeed work.

Nothing against mariosilva's download link, but if you are like me and prefer to install from a known source (in my case, genuine Apple downloads), then you know how to process.

Cheers!

macOS Sierra, OS X 10.12 VoiceOver Kit voiceover.framework install installation fails error

PS: thank you mario silva for figuring it out and documenting it well.

It works. Excellent step by step. Thank you.

This VoiceOver issue only started after updating to OS Sierra. Had worked fine on all previous versions.

Pour les non anglophones (si, si, ça existe !), voici la traduction :

1. Télécharger d’abord le fichier « iPodVoiceOver.framework.zip »;

2. Sortir d’iTunes ;

3. Ouvrir le Finder ;

4. Sur la barre de menu supérieur, cliquez sur « Aller » > « Aller au dossier… » ou appuyez simultanément « Shift+Cmd+G » ;

5. Coller la ligne suivante : « /Library/Application Support/iTunes » ;

6. Sélectionner le fichier iPodVoiceOver.framework et le mettre à la poubelle, vider la poubelle ;

7: Remplacer par le fichier non zippé du début (le dézipper au préalable !) ;

8. Ouvrir iTunes ;

9. Voilà !

I can verify that this file works for iPod Shuffle (4th generation) on iTunes 12.5.1.21(latest version today) (MacOs X Sierra) Otherwise like most of the people I was having downloading issues. iTunes wasn't giving me errors but it was showing as the file was downloading but it couldn't download or enable VoiceOver. So I would like to thanks a lot for sharing this. 🙂

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much! I tried about two hours to fix this issue, until i found your post! I bought an iPod shuffle for my almost 4 Years old son for Christmas. I was very disappointed because voiceover is mandatory for him to use the iPod.

Poor poor Apple... Not able to fix this issue over generations of OS Versions!!
