Ipod Touch stuck in accessibility mode.

I let my soon to be 3 year old daughter play with my ipod touch and she put it in this "blind mode" where you can't swipe and a voice tells you where the cursor is. I can't get it off of this. How can get my ipod back to normal?

Well, you can either restore it next time you connect to your computer, or, slowly but surely navigate to the settings to disable accessibility mode.

I can't move the cursor down to the accessibility setting.

Let me see what I can try on my iPhone later, once it recharges.

Try this, see if it helps

I think if you double tap the screen with 3 fingers, it will take you out of accessibility mode. Not sure if it works with the blind mode, but it does in the zoom mode.

Worked like a charm, I hadn't seen that in itunes yet. Thanks.

Yea, when I couldn't figure out how to get my iPhone into accessibility mode on its own, I started looking into it further.

Triple tapping the square button while the phone is locked turns blind mode on and off.

Triple tap the home button enables or disables accessibility features by default. Though, they have to be chosen.

Once in VoiceOver mode you have to tap an item then double tap to select it. To scroll you use three fingers.
