Shake can be disabled in two ways to prevent accidental activation of the feature:
- If iPod nano has a hold switch, set the hold switch on the top of the iPod nano to ON.
- For iPod nano (6th and 7th generation), from the Home screen, tap Settings > Music and then tap the On/Off switch next to "Shake to Shuffle".
- For iPod nano (4th and 5th generation) Turn off the Shake feature by choosing Settings > Playback on iPod nano
