VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac. Sometimes VO refuses to speak after my iMac has been awaken after several hours asleep. Pressing command+F5 does not help so I have to power-off and then power-on again to restore VO. I recall reading in this forum that you can often recover VO by quickly pressing command+F5 several times but I cannot remember how many times and whether I have to wait a bit after the requisite number of presses before VO will start speaking again. I would appreciate any guidance on how to restart VO on Mac OS if VO goes mute.

Paul - When this happens with me, I find five presses of CMD f5 usually works, it takes a couple of seconds after the fifth press - Andy On 16 Dec 2013, at 10:28, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote: Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
I have found that usually typing in my password, with no audible feedback and pressing enter will log me back into my MBA and Voiceover will be back up and running immediately. But I bet the Command + 4 or 5 key presses may work for you too. Definitely try typing in your password blindly though, it might save you some time. Take care. -Rodney On Dec 16, 2013, at 6:44 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote: Paul - When this happens with me, I find five presses of CMD f5 usually works, it takes a couple of seconds after the fifth press - Andy On 16 Dec 2013, at 10:28, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote: Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
Okay, When I started having this problem in july or august of 2012 after buying my first Mac, I used to mess around with the volume buttons, and try turning VO off and on a couple of times. Eventually, maybe after a few minutes, VO would come up talking. I asked about this problem on the list and Ricardo Walker suggested hitting Command F5 four times in quick succession. I don't know how he came up with that strategy, but it worked, and has continued to work every time VO flakes out on me after a good nights sleep. I don't know about five times, maybe that's a typo. Pretty soon there'll be a whole mythology about the number of times to hit command F5, with different camps a spousing different numbers… On Dec 16, 2013, at 6:44 AM, Andy Collins a...@recreation.plus.com wrote: Paul - When this happens with me, I find five presses of CMD f5 usually works, it takes a couple of seconds after the fifth press - Andy On 16 Dec 2013, at 10:28, Paul Hopewell hopew...@hopewell.org.uk wrote: Hello, I am running Mac OS 10.9 on my 2009 iMac.

Re: VoiceOver going mute on Mac OS
All I can add, is that I discovered the 5 times myself, from just trying to resolve this issue in the early days of having this MBA. I think it needs to be an odd number of times because it has already gone off, and doing it 3 times doesn't seem to work - Andy On 16 Dec 2013, at 13:33, Phil Halton philh...@gmail.com wrote: Okay, When I started having this problem in july or august of 2012 after buying my first Mac, I used to mess around with the volume buttons, and try turning VO off and on a couple of times.

VoiceOver going mute
Hi, I've had the following experience on my iPhone twice now where VoiceOver gets muted and it can't easily be unmuted. When in an application the volume is turned down to zero with the button on the side. The app is then closed and/or the phone locked. When I unlock the phone VoiceOver is now silent. VoiceOver is running because icons need a double tap, but raising the volume doesn't help. Indeed, the volume in settings reads 100%. The solution to the problem is to run the app which was last being run, and then the volume buttons do as expected. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I may not have exactly described how the problem comes about, but its as close as I can work out at the mo. It may also have something to do with VO being on the triple home button press toggle.

Re: VoiceOver going mute
Chris, I can't say I have. But then again I haven't made a habit of turning volume down so low, so perhaps it's something reproducible. I don't really care to try though. :-) All the best, Zack.

RE: Voiceover going mute
From time to time Voiceover mutes itself on my phone but it does not appear to have anything to do with me adjusting the volume. It happens unpredictably. When it first happened I thought I had a hardware problem with the speaker. Weirdly on these occasions Voiceover can still be heard through earphones. The recommended solution, put Voiceover into say all on an application like iBooks or Safari and then increase the volume whilst Voiceover is speaking with the earphones removed does not work for me. Thankfully so far the problem has always resolved itself by one of the following events. 1. Sometimes but not always it clears if I receive a call on the phone. 2. So far restarting the phone has reliably cleared the problem but it is a worry during the reboot.

I do know there is a bug that I told apple about. If you accidentally hit both the up and down volume buttons together voiceover gets killed. It even kills triple click of home.

VoiceOver is running because icons need a double tap, but raising the volume doesn't help. Indeed, the volume in settings reads 100%. The solution to the problem is to run the app which was last being run, and then the volume buttons do as expected. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I may not have exactly described how the problem comes about, but its as close as I can work out at the mo. It may also have something to do with VO being on the triple home button press toggle.

Re: Voiceover going mute
What is that? I've not done that before.

Just hit power 5 times and wait for it to do its thing. Take care.

It happens unpredictably. When it first happened I thought I had a hardware problem with the speaker. Weirdly on these occasions Voiceover can still be heard through earphones. The recommended solution, put Voiceover into say all on an application like iBooks or Safari and then increase the volume whilst Voiceover is speaking with the earphones removed does not work for me. Thankfully so far the problem has always resolved itself by one of the following events. 1. Sometimes but not always it clears if I receive a call on the phone. 2. So far restarting the phone has reliably cleared the problem but it is a worry during the reboot.

RE: VoiceOver going mute
Hi there I'm not sure if it is exactly what you describe, but I have had my IPad go silent on me. To fix this, I've just done the rset where you press the home and power buttons down together and lift your finger off the power button and it seems to right itself.
