Ipod Touch 4th Gen Wont Shuffle When Shaken

I recently bought the new iPod touch 4th Gen and cannot for the life of me, get it to shuffle when i shake it. I have downloaded the manual, checked the shuffle settings, and shaken it in different positions again and again but it just refuses to start playing any shuffled music. Can someone please shed some light on the situation because i am now out of ideas.

Much Appreciated

Hello Jack687,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!

When you shake the iPod, you have music playing correct? If not, that would explain why it wasn't working.

If that isn't the case, I am assuming you have tried a simple reset as well? You can do this by pressing the Sleep/Wake button until you can fully power it down. Once it has go ahead and power it back on again, start playing some music, and then attempt to shuffle via shaking it.

Otherwise it might not hurt to try and restore the iPod via iTunes as well.
