Calibrating the Nike+ Sports Kit.

After a couple of tries I think I got it now. The information that gets sent to iTunes and nikeplus.com is right, yet -- on the iPod nano itself window --, although the time and pace are correct (in History), the distance is not.
I'll check this out at the nike site but their discussion groups are not so good.

Hi toffeepup,
As cocon said, you will need the receiver. Here are some of the references...
Based on the iPod nano Specifications page it looks like you will need the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (with the receiver) for the new nano.
From the bottom of that page, under "Which iPod are you?" it says, "Nike + iPod support".
Compare that to the iPod touch which says, " Nike + iPod support built in".
Also, from Rock and Run
"Then connect the receiver to your iPod nano. iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 include built-in support for Nike + iPod, so no receiver is necessary."
Note it does have a built in pedometer, and based on the Features page you can upload that to the Nike+ website. Not sure if that's enough for you.

  • Can I modify the frequency of the Nike+Sport Kit Notifications?

    When I set my Nike+Sport kit on the Time setting, it give me an update every 5 minutes. When running for 180 minutes, every 5 minutes tends to be very annoying. Is there a way to modify the notification setting? Say every 30 minutes instead of every 5 minutes?

    You might get a better response from folks who use this if you post in the Nike/sport kit forum here.

  • Does 6th Gen iPod Nano need the Nike + Sports Kit?

    I have the Nike+ sensor with my Sports Band. To use it with the new 6th Gen Nano, do I have to get the sports kit? Or is this feature built in like the iPhone 3GS and 4? The attachment to the new nano will make the form factor ugly.

  • Will the nike+sport kit work with Iphone 3G

    will it work the Iphone 3G?

    It would be really nice if the packaging made this a bit more explicit on the front of the box (rather than simply the microprint on the side). What a joke.

  • Ipod classic and nike sports kit

    hi,
    can anyone tell me if the ipod classic is compatible with the nike sports kit, importantly if its not why not?
    i spent a considerable amount of money purchasing what i thought was a premium product and it would now appear that it will not even support something that a cheaper ipod (nano) will, how can this be so?
    cheers

    The iPod classic is not compatible with the iPod sport kit, likely because its hard drive is much more vulnerable to being dropped than an iPod nano's flash media.

  • Nike sport kit

    can you use the nike sport kit with the iPhone 3G?

    are they going to make the nike+ sport compatible at all with the 3G? any software upgrade that will make it work? cuz i don't want to buy a new phone!!

  • There are now two Nike+ Sport kit discussion forums

    Looks like Apple is splitting the Nike+ Sport kit forum into two groups--1st generation and 2nd generation Nanos. Here's the link for the Nike+ Sport kit for the 2nd gen Nano http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1132
    It is also harder to find these two groups if you are new to the Apple Forums. (I asked some friends who don't use the forums to try this out and they were baffled how to find the two Nike+ Sport Kit discussion forums.)

    I suspect it's simply that Apple is dividing up discussions in a way that seems logical to them and then indexing accordingly. So if there are two generations of Nanos, they have two Nike+ Sport kit forums. Simple for Apple. Not so simple for users of the Nike+ Sport kit.
    For example, I will soon own both Nanos, so when I have question about the Nike+ kit my question will probably relate to both Nanos and will have to post my question on both forums. When I answer questions, the answers about Nike+ in many cases will be the same on both forums. And when the third generation Nano comes out, same drill, now multiplied 3 times!
    So rather than splitting the Nike+ forum to follow the multiple generations of Nanos, it would make more sense for members of the Nike+ Sport Kit discussion forum to have one forum for us that includes all generations of Nanos.

  • Why no Nike+ sport kit category for 3rd gen nano?

    Considering all the problems people (myself included) have been having with the 3rd gen nano and the Nike+ sport kit, does anyone wonder why there is no category for it here (only 1st and 2nd gen)?

    It will be coming out soon.

  • Hey Apple. Expand the iPod Sport Kit to other running shoes.

    I'm a runner and used to use Nike products up until I started having severe feet and ankle problems. That's when I found out that Nike shoes are all wrong for my feet mainly because I have a 4E wide foot. Nike never has and never will make a shoe for wide feet because they're shoes are made in sweat shops in Indonesia. I now run in New Balance and have been finding out a lot more distance runners use New Balance over Nike. I have looked at the iPod Sport Kit and like what I see but I will never put it to use as long as it only works with Nike shoes. I understand why Apple chose Nike because Nike is the more the popular shoe on the market. But Apple needs to begin expanding the iPod Sport Kit to work along with other brands of shoes other than Nike. So Apple please expand the iPod Sports Kit to other brands of shoes. I'd really love to use it with New Balance shoes.

    I have the marware pouch too but I'm having problems with accuracy. Since switching from the Nike+ sneakers (also don't fit my feet) to using the pouch on non-Nike sneakers, my iPod tells me I've run 25-30% less than the actual distance (anywhere from 0.25 to 12 miles). Trying to recalibrate gives me a message that I haven't run the calibration distance yet (still 25-30% short). Any insight?
    (Note: The sensor is not in upside down.)

  • Do You Really Need The Nike+sport shoes

    Do you really need the nike+sport shoes to have the kit work or could you just buy any type of shoe and find a way to make the sensor stick?

    i just cut a spot in the insole of my New Balance
    high tops. (i walk/run in them because my ankles are
    weak) just remeber to calibrate.
    well strengthen your ankles and start runnning!

  • Internet and Itunes with Nike + Sports kit.

    Hi,
    I am thinking about buying a nike+ sports kit but have just a few questions!
    I have my ipod synced/itunes on a Windows Vista laptop, that has no internet.
    To use nike+ sports kit do you have to have the internet on the computer which has your ipod synced to itunes?
    The other computer in my houshold is a windows XP computer *with internet.*
    do i need to sync my ipod/itunes onto this computer in-order to use the sports kit? Or can I use the sports kit on the computer with the internet but which is not the computer i would normally use for general ipod use (Syncing of songs etc)...? DO I need to have all of songs, itunes, internet & sports kit all *on the ONE computer?*
    Very tricky to explain...
    Help much appreciated!!

    The Nike+ plus sports kit does support playback of Audiobooks.  You need to start the audiobook before you start Nike+.

  • Do I need to purchase the nike sports pack for my 7th generation ipod nano? I want to get the audio feedback while I am walking.

    I purchased the ipod nano 7th generation because a coworker of mine has one and it talks to her while she is walking.
    Mine does not do that and I wonder if I have to purchase the nike sports pack sensor.
    Thank you

    Hey SeanW89,
    Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:
    Nike + iPod Sensor - Apple Store (U.S.)
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA368LL/E/nike-ipod-sensor
    iPod nano (7th generation): Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5470
    Connect to Bluetooth accessories
    You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
    Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I just got my nano 6th generation, and i wonder if i use mi nike   sport kit, i will have an improvement ?

    I just got my nano 6th generation, and i wonder if i use mi nike   sport kit, i will have an improvement ?

    For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter.  Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette.  Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one.  Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

  • Does anyone know if the Nike+iPod kit works with the new 2G Nano?

    The reason I ask is that Gizmodo says the bottom dock attachment is offset on the 2G Nano.

    I can confirm that you have a good ipod nano with a "bad" firmware.
    EACH TIME I use my 2Gb ipod with the sport kit it freezes ! Without sport kit..no problem at all !
    My ipod nano with firmware 1.1.1. freezes when:
    - I press the end session button after a long session (in this case it maintains the training also after the reset). with short sessions..no problem.
    - If I forget to not set the hold button during session, the armband "press" without control some combination of buttons which freezes the ipod (session lost after reset)
    - If I press /<< button instead of menu to return to the previous screen at the end of the session. (session lost after reset)
    - Without receiver inserted I have pressed to activate sport kit - ipod require the receiver - I have pressed to return to the previous screen and ipod freezes.
    Why Apple doesn't insert a "timerized autosave data sessions" to avoid to loose sessions in case of freezing and reset ?
    Best Regards

  • Nike+ Sport Kit for IPod w/ Video?

    I really wanted to know if they were going to make a sport kit for the regular IPod's w/ video becuase I would like to use this tool. ???
    IPod w/ Video   Windows XP  

    i heard that the reason behind just the nano is that if you run with any other ipod, because it has a harddrive, it would screw up the unit and since the nano uses flash only, it works perfectly with the armband and running, etc...but who knows...monday's WWDC should be interesting or dissapointing.
