Can't calibrate new nike+ sensor

I just bought a new nike+ sensor and need to calibrate it. At the end of my work out, when I hit "end workout" the "calibrate run" button should show up, instead it freezes and my workout goes right into "history" and I can't calibrate it. Super annoyed!

Sorry, I posted it in the wrong place. I already re-posted in the correct nano
version board, but don't know how to delete this post.

  • I can't calibrate my Nike+ sensor with my iPod 2G

    I've just bought a nike+ sensor and there is a huge discrepancy in the distance given after my workouts (always is lower) with the real runned distance. I have tryed to calibrate several times (with 400m, 1Km, 1,2km) but it always say that I have not runned the distance of calibration and don't let me calibrate the sensor. Someone knows what I can do to calibrate my sensor?

    Then you need to deauthorize another computer so you can authorize this one. If yo do not have the computers to deauthorize then yo can deauthorize all (you can only do that once every 12 months) and then authorize this one.
    See:
    iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
    Or is this your problem:
    Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support

  • Can I link one nike+sensor to 2 different ipods at the same time?

    My friend and I run always together. I have an iPod touch 4G, he has an iPod Nano 4G and he has the Nike+ sensor. He uses the ipod Nano + receiver. I use just the ipod touch (which has a receiver built-in already).
    We run at the same pace and same time. Can we both link to his sensor and get the data each in our ipods?

    Not that I am aware.
    Read the guide for the Nike sensor. It should tell you if this is possible.

  • My iPhone 4S won't recognize my new Nike  sensor!

     
    When I open the Nike App on the iPhone 4s, is just closes immediately.  When I go to settings, it has my information (weight, distance, etc.) highlighted but the "sensor" bar is not.  I tried walking around with the sensor on, but nothing happens.  Any ideas on why or how to make it work?

    Same exact issue here. Can't get it to work; 4S and new sensor.
    I'll wait to see if it's addressed in iOS 5.1 and if not I'll take the sensor back.

  • New Nike+ sensor detection problem

    Bought my first Nike+ yesterday, did succeed to link the sensor. Did go for a walk to test it, didn’t get any contact. Of and on with the shoe tapping pressing the button and at last contact when holding the sensor in my hand moving it around, put it in the shoe start walking and it looked good but then it after a while the voice asked if I wanted to resume the training, did that a couple of times. Then I stopped the "training" and it had registered 10 meter.
    Didn’t succeed to get more contact with the sensor.
    Did go to the store today and got it replaced with a new kit. Tested it right away by plug in the receiver and move around the package with the sensor, linked the sensor and got one training activated. Then when home I got problem to connect the sensor, tried several times walking around then tapped and move around the sensor in my hand and got contact, even succeed to get contact with the sensor in the shoe.
    I have a old Nano ver 1, the Nano battery is not new but it still hold for several hours music.
    My suspicion is that it is old Nike+ kits, didn’t seems to be a big seller in the sports shop where I bought it. I'll guess these battery’s age and get weaker if they have been on the shelf in the store for a year or so.
    As I understand it the low battery indicator is based on usage/training time, so if the battery is poor when you buy the sensor there will be no indication before it dies.
    It had helped if one could get the date when the sensor was produced by the serial number.
    I must say I’m disappointed so far to have to spend all this time trying to make it work.
    And BTW why is the excellent stopwatch function with laps separated from the Nike+ thing, as I get it there is no lap function with Nike+.
    Going out for a run now to see if it still works, knock on wood.

    Well after some disconnecting and connecting of the receiver did I manage to get some action from the sensor, but then it died after 940 meter.
    Nike+ have had it’s chance with me I give up and make a run for a refund.

  • Do I Need to Purchase the Nike+ Ipod Sport Kit or Just the Nike Sensor

    I'm a newbie to all of this. I am considering purchasing either the new Ipod Nano or the updated Ipod Touch (32). Would I need to purchase the Nike Sensor Kit if I purchase the Ipod touch or just the Nike sensor to insert in the shoe? Thanks in advance to whomever can provide guidance on this issue.

    I can speak for a new iPod touch and tell you that you only need the sensor. That's what I have and I love it. I'm really enjoying Nike's website and the history it builds.
    From what I understand about the new nano, it has some sort of pedometer built right in so you can get a calculation of steps all by itself. You can also add the nike sensor to get more information on your walk/run, I'm just not certain if its the whole kit you need or just the sensor in that instance.

  • Use Replacement Nike sensor with old receiver?

    I need a new Nike sensor since the battery ran out. I have read on the internet that the receiver (that you plug into your iPod) has flash firmware on it.
    If this is actually true, then I am thinking I should get a new complete kit rather than just a new sensor. Is it just a hardware device, or does it also have non-upgradeable software on it -- or is the software entirely on-board the iPod, and therefore upgraded with the iPod firmware? My previous kit is now a few years old by the way.

    Yes.  Users have reported slightly better accuracy with the actual external sensor compared to the internal one, but results have varied.

  • Nike+ Sensor won't connect to my iPhone 3GS (3G S)

    Hi Guys,
    I've got a 16gb 3GS and have just bought a new Nike+ sensor from ebay (model A1193).
    When I follow the instructions to link it i hear "Walk around to activate your sensor" and see the pulsing blue searching logo, but nothing happens.
    I've tried resetting my network settings, rebooting my phone, doing a hard reset (sleep+home button) but nothing seems to work.
    I've also put the sensor to sleep (by holding the button in for 3 seconds) then waking it up (by pressing the button once.)
    Any Ideas?

    I had the same problem with my sensor and iphone 3gs. It would work for one workout then not for the next. I called Apple and they told me to go into settings, turn off Nike + then back out of settings, then immediatly go back into settings and turn on Nike+ and link sensor with phone. I did this and it worked but then the next day it was off again on again. I finally figured out the problem, which may or may not be your problem. I was putting my iphone onto airplane mode when working out to save battery life, which was told to do in a CNET article on saving iphone battery life. Well I figured that in airplane mode, all ports are turned off, phone, bluetooth, wi-fi and of course the Nike+ sensor. Since I stopped turning on airport mode it has worked every time. Don't know if either of these will work but it worked for me.

  • Nike+ Sensor and iPhone question

    Hello all,
    I'm somewhat confused about this Nike+ Sensor and how/why it interacts with the Nike+ app. I'm really thinking about getting one of these today but I want to make sure it does what I think it does.
    I play indoor football and I want to know how far I run when I play. Can I put the Nike+ sensor in my shoe, play football, plug the sensor into my iPhone after football and upload the info to my iPhone? Or would I need to carry my iPhone about for the time that I'm playing football as well?
    Thanks

  • Can I use the same nike+ sensor with two differet Ipods and register the trainings in onmly one account?

    Hello, I would like to know if I can use the same nike  Ipod sensor with two different ipods. I want to use the same sensor sometims with an Ipod touch and sometimes with an Ipod Nano, I want my trainings with both Ipods to be registered to the same account. I want them to be registered to only one account, not as it had been used by two different people.

    Of course. You should use the same AppleID on all your devices. Why would you create a new one?

  • Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

    I have:
    Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
    works fine, linking is easy, but....
    Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
    To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
    Anyone have any suggestions ?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

  • Can I calibrate the screen of new ipad

    i just got an new ipad last week but i found out that the screen is greenish.(everything looks like there is a green layer on it)
    i went to the apple store and borrow my friends new ipad to make sure it is really greenish.
    there is no protective film on my ipad.
    so my question is,
    1) can i calibrate the screen color?
    2) if i bring my ipad to apple store, i do they check?
    ps. you can not really see the greenish if you don't compare with other new ipads. but when you compare it, it's really obvious.

    You can't calibrate the screen. Yes you can have the iPad checked at an Apple Store. If there is an obvious problem with the screen, your iPad will be replaced.
    Have you tried rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Can you use nike+  sensor with iPhone 5

    can you use nike+ sensor with iPhone 5. like the device you place in your shoe. Can it be connected to your phone.

    However, you don't need the sensor if you use the Nike+ Running app. It uses the phone's built in accelerometer.

  • Pedometer and Nike+ Sensor seriously affects music quality.

    I´ve got an iPod Nano 5th Gen 8Gb whit the Nike + iPod Kit, almost in every occasion that I active the PEDOMETER or the NIKE+IPOD link it the played music starts to sounds very ugly.
    The music playback sounds in a slower rhythm and like it was a source with a very low bitrate (even thought that it was ripped with the iTunes 9.0.2 in the Apple Lossless Encoder format). It sounds slower and distort.
    It has those playback sounds issues ONLY when its linked with the Nike sensor or the pedometer active. Whit so many ads of NIKE an APPLE together how can I have this problem when I am using both of them whit their latest releases?
    iTunes 9.0.2

    Windows 7 64bits

    I could never get it to calibrate. Tried everything. Finally brought it back to the running store where I bought it. The guy went for a run a couple times with it and couldn't get it to work either. He opened a new box and tried it and it worked. I haven't calibrated it for myself yet. Too hot today!!! Will try in the am.
