Anyone here use the nike+ running app with the ipod touch?

i just got the new ipod touch 5g and wanted to get the nike+ running app because it's free, the alternate would be nike+ sensor is $20 extra.
so i wanted to know:
1. how accurate the nike+ running app is in term of recording distance? since i don't have the iphone i wont be able to use the gps function and im not sure if that'll be affecting the distance measurement.
2. how accurate is the speed tracker? same as above, since the ipod doesn't have a gps function.
3. in the setting for the app, what does it mean to reset calibration?

i just used it for the first time. it recorded that i ran for 2.5 miles, i went home and checked an online map and i only actually ran 2.03 miles. if i calibrate it, will my future runs be more accurate? also, what if one day i decide to run at a different pace or i walk a lot more, will this affect the distance recorded?

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

  • Is the Nike  Running app not compatible with ios7?

    I downloaded the Nike+ Running app - but I can't get it to open?
    Anyone else having a similar issue?  Is the app not compatible with ios7?

    Go back to the itunes store and look at the user ratings/comments for that app.  If it's not compatible with IOS 7, there will be many postings from users that indicate that.

  • Has anyone download the Airport Utility app on their iPod Touch or iPhone?

       Just was wondering if anyone downloaded the Airport Utility app from the app store onto their iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone? You can see a picture of your Time Capsule's nework and a picture of your Time Capsule right on your iOS device (iPod Touch, iPhone or iPad) and it's quite nice that you can actually see a picture of your network. It shows current status and a diagram/picture of your network. You can also make changes to your network right from your iOS device. This is a nice feature to have on your portable device.
       I was just wondering how anyone else liked this feature?

    Keep liquids away from the product.

  • Got a used iPod touch 4th gerneration, and most apps are not able to be d/l with iOS6. Is there a way to get the older, compatible apps on my iPod touch?

    How do I get older versions of apps to download to my iPod touch 4th generation?

    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Can someone tell me for sure if the Nike  footpod works with the new 7th gen nano?

    I know that the nano can work by affixing to your hip and using the inbuilt sensor. I also realize that is not as accurate.
    I am wanting to specifically know does the new iPod nano sync with the Nike + footpod sensor - and recieve data from that. I've seen a couple of reports that it doesnt. I've seen a couple of reports that it does. The manual is useless. The reviews that says it does, says the sensor is now built into the ipod nano to recieve the data from the footpod wirelessly.
    Thanks for someone telling me for sure one way or another. I want to get one to run with, but I want to use the footpod and heartrate sensor.

    Yes it does. This is from the user manual:
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf
    I found this on page 54.
    You can also use iPod nano with a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. Set up Bluetooth fitness devices in Fitness (see Setting Fitness preferences on page 34).

  • Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

    trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

    Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • How do I acquire the Go Ropin' app for my Ipod Touch?

    I recently found a section in Spin to Win rodeo magazine advertising a team roping game for the ipad, iphone, and ipod touch.  However when I clicked the link to download it from the apple website a message appeared informing me it was no longer available on the american market.  If anyone can inform me as to how i can get this game I would greatly appreciate it.

    You can't get it from the American marked. For some reason it was pulled at least from the American marked.
    You can only use the iTunes and App stores in the country in which you are physically located.

  • Does anyone know how I can record continuously with my Ipod Touch 5g?

    Hello everyone, I'm trying to make my ipod touch as a dash cam for my daily drive. I wanted to my ipod to atleast record for 40 minutes while driving, but it keeps stopping using the regular camera app. Even with dash cam apps, they still give me problems, or they are set to certain recording time. Your help is greatly appreciated.

    Too little for what?
    Do a test to see how longe 18 GB lasts. Based on Apple_iOS4Life 180 MB/min that would get you 77 minutes.

  • Using a Composite AV Cable with an iPod Touch (3rd Gen)

    I recently purchased a Composite AV Cable from the Apple Store in order to watch video I have rented from iTunes on my iPod Touch to my Sony Television. However, when I connect the cables up as per the cable instructions and play the video from the iPod, nothing happens !
    Are there any settings I need to change on my iPod. The manual states there is a "TV Out" option on the Settings menu ....however that does not appear on my iPod.
    Can anyone please help me ????
    Many thanks in advance,
    Steve

    Thanks IIIass
    In reply
    - my iPod Touch is a 3rd gen so I referred to that guide, but have upgraded software on it to iOS5.1... so that may explain why the TV Out option has disappeared.
    - I normally use the AV leads for my Wii into my TV,  and so have taken those out and put the Apple leads in then gone to the "game" input screen option I normally use for the Wii. I then connect the iPod Touch to the composite lead, and then press play on the video. The screen is black with no sound ! 
    - I have a portable TV I can test if it has the AV lead input sockets.

  • Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

    I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
    However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
    Thanks very much.

    You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
    Best of luck.
