I got a problem, my iPod nano 4 can't rotate the screen automatically, but I can shuffle songs by shaked it. I don't know why!! I tried to reset it and the result is still can't rotate. Anyone can help me?
 
It's not made to automatically rotate.

Use two fingers together and twist them to rotate the screen.
 
He is talking about 4g not the new touch nano 6g ;)

I have the 5g so my thought may be helpless, but have you looked into the menus? There is an option for that. My 5g's screen rotation abilities are limited too, it works but not everytime. It depends on how you hold it I assume ;) you are holding it wrong maybe ;)
 
You can only rotate it into coverflow by turning it counter-clockwise from your point of view. Just make sure rotate is enabled in settings. I turned my rotate off a long time ago as it got annoying and would kick the backlight on every 10 seconds as I walked at a brisk pace.

I don't get why the f Apple would put this as a setting on the nano, but it's only available on later model touch's. Not every likes cover flow, Stevie boy.

I had tried every points of view, and it doesn't work completely. It makes so upset! I can used it so easy in the previous time...And definitely I enabled it in Setting...

Maybe something different with 5G, because I can only find rotate setting in General. And I made it, but doesn't work....oh, God!

Yeah, at the beginning, I thought it's really so boring. But right now I am used to it, and without it I feel so uncomfortable....:(
