voiceover won't turn off on IPod nano 7th generation
I walk with my IPod Nano in my neighborhood using headphones without any microphone. I get an extremely annoying female robotic voice that starts and stops seemingly at random. The voice speaks over whatever I am listening to -- usually a podcast -- reading a list of the contents on the Ipod. Sometimes it will stop when it gets to the end of the list. Yesterday it started the list over again from the beginning.
The setting says that voiceover is off. When it restarted the table of contents, I switched it to "on" thinking it can't be any worse "on" than "off." The voice stayed quiet for about half an hour after that, then started in again.
This seems to be related to motion with the ipod or possibly the headphones. When I use my ipod in my car it doesn't do this.
This problem is extremely annoying and I've had it with other ipods, so I don't think it is faulty hardware.
I talked with an Apple "genius" and he had no clue.
I've seen other discussions where this problem was raised and people responded that voiceover needs to be turned off -- but it IS off according to the device.
I also tried to fix this through Itunes when the ipod was connected to my computer and there was no obvious way to turn voiceover off through Itunes.
