Bought Nike+ for 2nd gen touch, doesnt sense it, help please

I bought a new Nike+ sensor for my 2nd gen touch and right out of the box it wouldnt work. It told me to walk around to activate the sensor, but i can walk for 10 minutes and nothing, so i decided to ask the people that actually know something about ipods... thanks
p.s. tried to wake it up, tried settings and calibrations, and checked for software updates

Did you happen to activate the touch to work with the sensor? You have to turn it on in Settings > Nike + iPod.

Unable to install and use apps that i previously bought for 2nd gen touch as they all require iOS 4.3.

Just found out that majority of the apps that i previously purchased and worked with my 2nd gen ipod touch with iOS 4.2.1, will not work as they are incompatible because the required iOS is 4.3. They worked before and now i have apps that i bought just sitting there being unused because they require an iOS update which 2g touchs have been at 4.2.1 forever. Thanks for taking my money and the apps that i paid for, and now are unusable on my ipod touch, and im def not going to be buying a new one just to use the apps.

They were installed before my ipod got its screen repaired, i restored it, and when i got it back i re downloaded all the apps from my purchased section, and only a few were able to be installed, i didnt see any app updates for requirements until they didnt work

How do I find Apps for 2nd gen Touch?

Recently I replaced my 2nd generation Touch with one of the same version from the Apple store because the battery died. Now I'm having trouble finding Apps that work on it. Most won't download and I get a message that says ios outdated. Any suggestions on how to find Apps that work?

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
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.

Need to find 4.1 for 2nd gen Touch

I'm posting this for a friend who is stuck on Tiger and cannot upgrade to iTunes 10, which apparently is required to run IOS 4.2. For whatever reason, she had not upgraded her IOS since version 2.something. Now the only option available to her when she's connected to iTunes is IOS 4.2. Does anyone know where she could obtain IOS 4.1, or has Apple removed all links to it?

Perhaps you didn't understand. Upgrading the OS on the Mac is not an option. It's a work computer, and the company either cannot (for whatever reason) or will not upgrade the OS.

Returning 1st gen ipod touch for 2nd gen?

Does anyone know if I could return my 1st gen ipod touch for the 2nd gen or even give it to them and get money off the 2nd gen? I want to return my first gen because i have noticed that some of the apps that I want to download require a mic. If you no if i can trade mine in please respond. Thank you

... and the second generation Touch doesn't have a mic anyway. Chris will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe, if you want to use a mic-dependant App on a 2nd gen Touch, then you need to buy a headphone/mic combination to plug in instead of standard headphones. I don't know +at all+ about the 3rd gen.
Non-mic Apps can run on a 1st gen Touch if you purchase the software upgrade, but whether that also includes mic-Apps, well, once again, I don't know. (Not much I do know really, is there? )
Perhaps you need to consider how much you need mic dependant Apps before rushing into the major expense of a Touch which may not actually meet your needs. There's always the iPhone of course.

Ah, there you go, in this post - http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2322224&tstart=30 - sparky67 says the 3rd gen 32G and 64G Touch comes with a microphone/headphone combination.

Airplay works for phots and video, but not music on 2nd gen touch

Upgraded to 4.2 on 2nd gen touch. I can send photos and videos/movies to AppleTV via Airplay, but not music. I can select AppleTV when playing a song on Touch and the music stops playing from Touch, but never plays from AppleTV. Audio works just fine for movies sent to AppleTV.
Anyone else experience this?
Support told me that this feature is not supported on 2nd gen Touch and I'd have to buy a new Touch. The Apple website says feature is supported. A second call to support and they said it is. ?????

Im having a similar problem where after a period of time I can get neither my iPhone 4 or iTouch 2G to see the Air Tunes speakers on my Airport Express base station. Always works fine from my computer's iTunes though. What I found works is powering off and rebooting the phone / iTouch (not just locking it). When it reboots go to your music and maybe you'll see the Apple TV or Airport Express icon appear now. Works for me anyways. After a while, they will "forget" and I need to reboot the phone again to find it. I think there are kinks in the 4.2 iOS that need to be sorted out.

Sorry, no. 4.2.1 is the highest possible for that model.

I was bored today, so I took a gamble on 3.1.1 on my 2nd gen Touch

So far so good. less than 5 minutes to download the update, 30 minutes to back up Touch, 8 minutes or less to update, and so far all is ok, even wifi. this makes the first time I've installed an upgrade since last year that I wasn't bitten by the same issues as most others,such as last year's "turn on/turn off/turn on" wifi in order to get it to connect issue. IF nothing strange happens in the next couple of days, I give it a thumbs up. However, I still have my wife's Touch to update....
PS: cold boot now takes the 31 seconds (for 2nd gens like mine) reported elsewhere. prior cold boot time was 22 seconds. Guess I'll try not to shut it off often.

I said: One of the more common bugs, both in iphones and touches, seems to be that smart playlists (the kind that compile tracks based on rules you set, like "most played" or "recently added") are not syncing correctly. Can you create a smart playlist (file > new smart playlist) based on these criteria, sync it, then see if the playlist on your ipod matches the playlist on itunes?
'Match the following rule': Media Kind is Music
Limit to "25" items selected by "most often played"
Leave 'match only checked items' unchecked
Check 'Live Updating'
Regardless of whether or not you're experiencing the ipod touch bug, you should see a playlist in itunes that works correctly. You'll get a list of 25 items that have the 25 highest play counts in your library. You can verify the list by comparing it to viewing the 25 first tracks in your library if you sort by play count.
After you sync this playlist with a properly functioning ipod touch, you should see a similar list on your touch (it might not be identical if you don't have all of your highest rated tracks in itunes synced to your touch). With the bug, and I've seen it on both touches that I've upgraded, you'll see a list of seemingly random tracks. Some of the tracks coming up on mine have zero plays, and the list isn't even sorting those random tracks in play count order.
As folks like to mention, everyone on here has problems with their stuff, so I haven't heard anyone say that this feature still works properly for them after the 3.1.1 upgrade. Let me know if you're an exception.

Sensor low battery indicator in 2nd gen Touch?

I got a used Nike+ kit last week. Everything worked fine, calibration right on. Did a warm-up walk tonight prior to running. When the walk was finished, it said my walk was 0 miles, pace was 0, and burned 0 calories. When I got ready to run, the iPod could never find the sensor. I have turned Nike+ off and on, put the sensor into sleep and "revived" it...all kinds of stuff.
Since it is a used sensor, I'm wondering if the battery has gone. I didn't see a low battery sensor, though, which makes me wonder if the 2nd gen Touch displays one.
All advice is welcome.

Sorry, didn't notice I was on the Nano forum.
