Help! Cannot get sensor to work; bought a new one

Please help! Am frustrated! I have a 1st gen Nano with Nike +. I didn't use it for quite a while and then the receiver did not recognize my sensor (thought it was my sensor). Realized that if you don't put them to sleep it can die, so I bought a new sensor. Ipod recognizes the receiver (shows up on the menu) so I went to link the new sensor by going to the linking feature, walked around a bit like it tells you to do, and then it said sensor not recognized. Tried a few times, made sure it wasn't asleep, etc. So I thought maybe it was my receiver that was having a problem since that sat in a drawer idle for some time also. So, I just bought a new receiver with a new sensor package and I am still having the same problem. It doesn't recognize the sensor. Says my Ipod is already linked to a sensor. I even tried to unpair the sensor and then did an Ipod sync, but to no avail, still not working. Help what am I doing wrong? It used to work just fine and I love it. Is there a way to uninstall the Nike software from my Ipod and then re-install it? Don't care if lose data. Thank you!!!!

I had this same problem so I decided to call the Apple Support people and they solved my problem. Here is what the woman told me to do....
1. Hold down center button and menu button on iPod until the Apple Logo appears and then let go
2. Hold down the sensor's button for 5 seconds then press it twice one after another quickly, so hold for 5 then click click
3. Put the sensor in your shoe
4. Put the receiver into iPod and go to Nike+ iPod > Settings > Link then click center button to link to new sensor
5. Walk around and the receiver should pick up on the sensor
This should work. GOOD LUCK

  • FM Transmitter used to work fine but stopped working, bought 2 new ones and neither work, they work with other Ipods in the house, IPOD Usb syncs fine with Computer, why won't it work with the FM transmitters anymore?

    Are the other iPods models, same version as yours. The 2 New FM Tx may need a new iPod software, which you can update via iTunes.
    Good Luck!

    I cannot get FaceTime to work between my 3rd Generation IPad and iMac, any ideas?

    Not exactly sure about the iMac cause I don't have one. But the email being used on the iPad is at
    Settings > FaceTime > You can be Reached for Video Calls at
    Below that line there is an Apple ID which is the primary email address being used by the iPad. You can make changes there to change the email address.

  • OMG I cannot get Sync to work on my new machine.

    I have two PC's, a desktop and a laptop, which I bought at the same time and was able to sync with zero issues. Now, I have added a second desktop, WHICH ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO EVEN PRETEND TO SYNC. All three machines are running Firefox 31. I followed the web instructions to reset the version of Sync to the new one. ALL THREE MACHINES have now told me, "Sync enabled. Firefox will start syncing momentarily," which, shockingly enough, is all that ever happens. I have been through pretty much every support article on this site regarding Sync, and tried every possible different combination of signing in, signing out, hitting the button 30 times, that sort of thing, and am now extremely frustrated and annoyed. I work online and I need these freakin' machines, and a working web browser, and my bookmarks and my passwords and my history. Anyone with (effective) words of wisdom would be much appreciated, thanks.

    Hi flowerdaemon,
    Thank you for your question. I understand that the third computer will not sync.
    I ran into this last week as well when I was changing the password and adding a test profile. This is what I did:
    #Removed the account from Options/Preferences > Sync
    # Made a back up of the profile, I do this out of habit from losing school papers.
    # Added the account again and went to accounts.firefox.com
    #Signed in on that page and saw the "Your sync will begin momentarily"
    # Waited about 5 mins for the first default sync.
    # Then clicked Tools > Sync Now
    After that I saw my data and all was synced with the other profiles.

  • I cannot get homesharing to work on the new itunes.

    Both computers are authorized, they are on the same connection, I've checked everything. It used to work, but they were updated and now they won't work. Before moving out I transferred half of my library but after I came back to get the rest of it and it won't work. It's making me really upset! I go back to school in a week and I want the rest of my music! What the heck itunes!

    I don't know if you need to turn Home Sharing back on or recycle through Off an On for both Machines.
    File> Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing
    Or if it is not running the
    File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing
    With my wifes machine I was only seeing part of her library. Stopped and started Home Sharing and it was fine.

  • Can't get apps to work or download new ones!

    I go to the ovi store, try to download an app but everytime i do i get "Unable to download "fennec". Application package not found. The weird thing is all the apps Utilities 0.00MB. And I just realised apps like Facebook and amazon have the same problem as well. I checked for any updates and it says there is none. So oes anyone have an idea of what I'm meant to be doing? Thanks for the help!

    the ovi item you are mentioning is just utilities and not "fennec", that you have to download from mozilla...if you don't have the core app the utils will not load since it has a dependency on the core app.
    same goes for other apps some of those are just icons for the installer and not the app. if you click on amazon icon does it lauch or start application manager?

  • Cannot get old podcast off to repost new one

    I have been trying for at least a month to get my podcast in the iTunes store. I have to admit, the first times I tried, it was easy. But those were podcasts done on Garageband and submitted through the new Quicktime without the Variable Bit Rates and chapters were turned into movies. They could not be downloaded to iPods. Two tries were removed http://www.radasky.com/Site/TheFoxPodcast/rss.xml and http://www.radasky.com/Site/MP3__Podcast/rss.xml but the next one, despite all my requests and trouble reported in downlooads by friends, is still in the store http://www.radasky.com/Site/Listento_TheFox/rss.xml . It has the incorrect chapters and cannot be subscribed to. A message "There was a problem downloading "The Fox Podcast" comes up. I have tried to resubmit and get a confirmation that my site is being looked at but nothing from there. What can I do now?

    There are two ways to go:
    a)
    A comment from Ricks forum post (including Ricks screeshot):
    Perhaps try clearing the cache?
    Click Edit > Preferences...
    From the Global categfory, click the Clear Cache button.
    Or B)

    Also, can you try deleting the Preferences and check? You can find the  preferences at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5

    It won't work or just won't install?
    Which OS, browser(s), and anti-virus software are you using?
    If you're using the free Avira AntiVir(us) Personal software, then deactive the Webguard feature first before installing the Flash Player.
