Why can't I get my ipod nano to shuttle songs

I cannot get my ipod nano to shuttle songs.

This is the user guide PDF for the 7th gen nano
http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1624/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
On page 18-19, note the shuffle songs button on the Now Playing screen. It looks like two arrows crossing. Tap that to shuffle songs on the current list.

Why can't I get my ipod shuffle to do anything when I know the battery is full

Why can't I get my Ipod shuffle to do anything? Before it stopped playing, saying or doing any thing I checked battery and it was full! This has happened before with another Ipod shuffle and I took it back. well, my new one is doing it. It plays for a while and then it decides to stop. Has anyone else experienced this?
Headphones in properly. Check !
Battery full. Check !
I can not even see a light when I switch it on and off. No voice over to tell me anything. Zero music!
Played music for about 1-2 hours max. Should be more than this! Checked battery before it stopped anyway and this was fine.
Help!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?

Why can't I get the iPod Touch in color with 16 GB?

Hi! Happy Thanksgiving. So I really want to get the iPod touch 5th Generation for christmas/birthday (they're pretty close to eachother) however the one I want, which is the pink one, is about 70 $ more than the black one. After searching around for a little bit, I discovered that it's because the colored iPods have 32 GB as the lowest option, while the back one has 16 GB as the lowest. I would be perfectly happy with 16 GB considering the price reduction, but I really only want it in the color. So, why IS it that the colors don't come in a lower option on GB? Thanks!
PS. If anyone finds any great Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals on the iPod Touch 5th Generation (colors) please leave an answer for that also! Thanks so much! x

So basically... Apple just made that weird random rule..?
It is not a rule. it is the decision that they made when producing the product.
They simply chose not to make the 16GB in other colors.

now i remember it the 5th gen has also had an error message saying it was corrupt, which i find ridiculous, as it has been working fine till now and has not until today been hooked up to my laptop for a while.
Hmmmm. It might be worth checking to see if you're getting a Windows drive letter confusion on that laptop. See the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

Why can I not sync my iPod Nano 3rd Gen to my iTunes 9.1.1?

My daughter mistakenly downloaded the latest iTunes version which does not work with my older iPod Nano 3rd gen. Before all this happened I was running version 9.1.1 which was working beautifully. After uninstalling the updated version and reinstalling the 9.1.1 version, I cannot restore nor sync my music to the iPod Nano. I would just be happy having things the way they were previously. Any tips??? Thanks.

Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

If someone can give me any ideas as to how I can fix this, it would be greatly appreceated.

Charge your iPod for at least 2 hours, the iPod screen may show blank for the first 30 minutes.
After charging till full charge, (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

Why can't I get my Ipod to play?

I have not had any trouble with my Ipod until tonight. It shows green on the docking station but when I try to use it, I can't get any music. It flashes orange when I push the volume control, thinking maybe I just needed to up the volume. I haven't used it in several days and it has been on the station all that time.

Hello,
Does this only happen when your ipod is connected to your computer? I'm running into similar problems but it's only when it's connected to the USB.

Why can't I get my iPod Touch 4 to work properly in my 2011 Honda Fit base model.

My iPod touch 4 does not respond to the directions provided in the manual. It is not possible to select desired playlists, songs, artists and albums.

Seems like the car system is not compatible with iOS 5. Other users have reported similar problems with other car systems and docks. You have to wait for either Apple or Hoda to update their devices.

Why can't i get all of the songs that are in tunes on my ipod

What can I do to get all of my songs that are in my tunes library onto my ipod.
Thank you

Remove some of the other content you may have, such as pictures or videos.
Lower the Bit Rate that you use for your songs (but not so low that you don't like the quality of the sound)
Buy a larger capacity iPod
Alternatively, I ask you; "why can't you get all your songs on your iPod?"
What happens when you try
What else is on your iPod.
Is there a large amount of "Other" shown in the iPod's content?
In other words - you tell us why you can't get all your Library on to your iPod and perhaps we can tell you what to do about it.

Why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

why can't i get overdrive audio books onto my ipod

Some find the mobile device transfer confusing. To load or delete a WMA or MP3 book onto an Apple mobile device do the following.
1. For Windows versions, you must first do a security update of Windows Media Player (even though you won't be using it) using Internet Explorer at http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite .
2. Open iTunes, plug the mobile device into the computer USB port and open the Overdrive Media Console.
3. Highlight the mobile device in the left hand menu of iTunes and insure the "Manually manage music and videos" box is checked in the Summary Tab.
4. Highlight the book you want to transfer in the Overdrive Media Console and click the Transfer Button. A window opens permitting you to click the boxes for parts of the book you wish to transfer.
5. After the book has been transfered, when you click the disclosure triangle (arrow) to the left of the iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes, MP3 books will show up under the Music subsection and WMA books will show up in the Books subsection. Once the mobile device is disconnected from iTunes, MP3 books will show up in the Songs list of the mobile device and WMA books will show up in the Books list.
6. To remove a book from a mobile device plug the device into the USB port and open iTunes. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad in the Device section of the left hand menu of iTunes so that you can see the device’s subcontents. For an MP3 book select the Music subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete. For a WMA book, select the Book subsection, right click on the book and choose Delete.
