7th G Nano - How to turn "off" shuffle. I want to listen to all my songs alphabetically.

If you tap the Shuffle button, that precisely what it will do.

1. First of all, make sure that you have Shake to shuffle turned off, it's in the Settings menu
2. Then go to your alphabetical list of songs
3. Tap on the first song

At the end of the first song, the second one on the list should play.

Do not tap the Shuffle button.

You can also tap the Now Playing screen to bring up the controls overlay, which also includes the shuffle icon:

Perhaps you have powered off the nano completely, rather than just put it to sleep.

• To put the iPod to sleep, press-and-release the sleep/wake button (on the top edge)
• To wake it up, press-and-release the sleep/wake button
• To power off the iPod completely, press-and-hold the sleep/wake button until the display turns off
• To start the iPod up again from completely off, press-and-hold the sleep/wake button until the display turns on. It may take a few moments before the iPod is ready to use

If that doesn't work, try a Reset.

To reset the iPod, press-and-hold the sleep/wake button and the Home button (yes, at the same time) for six seconds. The iPod should display the Apple logo and begin a re-start procedure, after which it will be ready to use.

A Reset will not remove or delete your music from the iPod.

Lastly, if the battery has drained completely (for any reason), it will not respond, so then you will need to plug it into a power supply (obviously). In this situation, it may take up to thirty minutes before the iPod responds.

• Shuffle and play all of your songs: Tap Shuffle at the top of the Songs list. iPod nano begins playing songs from your iPod nano music library in random order, skipping audiobooks, podcasts, and iTunes U collections.
• Shuffle songs from the Now Playing screen: Tap the screen, then tap the Shuffle symbol
• Use "Shake to Shuffle": When the screen is on, you can give iPod nano a quick shake to skip to a random song. If the screen is off, press the Sleep/Wake button before you shake. “Shake to Shuffle” is on by default, but you can turn it off in Settings > Music.
