HI all, To answer Keith's question regarding the complete shutdown of VoiceOver if one executes a hold of the Sleep/Power button and Home button for 10 seconds for a shut down, this not only results in VoiceOver being disabled, it also appears to reset VoiceOver back to factory defaults. I had to attach my non-speaking iPod Touch 5th gen to my desktop and use iTunes > Accessibility to turn voiceover on once again. I'm still a bit P/O at myself for using such poor judgment! I now have to add previous items back on the rotor and hope I didn't trash parts of the operating system! I'll definitely be more cautious in terms of how I follow advice next time!

If this is an illegal powering down of the iPod, this of course risks the stability of the OS. Also, this process Chris suggested does not result in a restart of my iPod Touch 5th gen with VoiceOver talking. At this point I have no sound and have no idea what my iPod is doing. Guess I should have waited for more feedback before taking action on the suggestion--especially since I know better. :) Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2013 4:44 PM Subject: RE: How to "Reboot" an IOS Device Does this still run the risk in some devices of turning off VO? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chris H Sent: Friday, August 30, 2013 6:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: How to "Reboot" an IOS Device Press and hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together for at least ten seconds.
