How to Change the Orientation of an iPod Nano
- 1). Press the "Wake" button on the top of the iPod to turn on the screen.
- 2). Press two fingers on the screen about 1 inch apart from each other. If your fingers are too close together, the iPod may think you are pressing one spot.
- 3). Move both fingers along the screen in a clockwise or counterclockwise motion, depending on how you want the screen to turn. The screen rotates as you move your fingers. Remove your fingers from the screen when the iPod is oriented the way you want it.
