IPhone and Nike Plus sport kit

I was under the impression NEW iPhone would work nike sport kit. I stopped the AT&T store they did not have a clue. (the APPLE store was too far away).
There several apps that seem to function very similar to the nike Sport kit. Any ideal which is the best or NIKE will be make an app for iphone

Hi Noppie,
The last word from Apple PR in the news was that the Nike+ Sports Kit was only compatible with the 2nd Generation iPod touch and all the iPod nanos. There's no word on iPhone 3G support, and it looks quite unlikely, since even though the iPod touch has essentially the same software as the iPhone 3G, the iPod touch has that Nike+ adaptor built-in, while the iPhone 3G does not, not even in newly-manufactured models after that announcement.
If you must have the nike+, I recommend the iPod nano. It's smaller, has longer battery life, and it's the cheapest iPod with nike+ support. If you're patient, you may wait and see if the next iPhone has Nike+ built-in, or if the current model will support it.
If you want to use the apps on the app store, I can't say I've tried them, so just read the reviews. I feel as if they are a bit gimmicky, but that's my opinion, and I've never bought one yet, so don't take my word.
Hope this helps!

  • Completely Frustrated With Nike Plus Sports Kits

    I've bought several Nike Plus Sports Kits recently and every single one of them has had a dead sensor in them. Either I'm buying them from retailers that have had these units on their shelves for years (ever since Nike Plus first rolled out), or there is some sort of defect with the majority of the sensors I've purchased. It's a real pain in the neck to keep having to take these kits back to where I bought them and try a different location to get a new one.
    I didn't have this problem when the program first rolled out years ago (when the batteries in these units were fresh), but lately I've lost all desire to even use Nike Plus and have resorted back to a good old fashioned pedometer.
    Any suggestions?

    I also have just bought 1 sensor (Fnac in Italy) and it seems with a dead battery. I have tried all possible options and followed instructions to connect to the new sensor, but never made it to connect with my iPod touch (2nd gen) or iPod Nano.
    I will return it tomorrow to the shop.

  • IPod Classic and Nike + iPod Sport Kit

    Will an iPod Classic work for the Nike + iPod Sport Kit?
    Why does the Nike + iPod Sport Kit only work for iPod Nano and iPod Touch?

    Will an iPod Classic work for the Nike + iPod Sport Kit?
    No.
    Why does the Nike + iPod Sport Kit only work for iPod Nano and iPod Touch?
    Only those iPods contain the firmware needed to use it, likely because iPods with a hard drive such as the iPod classic are much more vulnerable to drops and other hard impacts than iPods which use flash media.

  • 2 nike plus sport kits 1 Ipod?

    I have one IPOD Nano and 2 sport kits....Is it possible for my wife and I to share 1 ipod and still each have our identity using our own sport kits.

    This post from Apple FAQ, should be relevant to what you want to do:
    Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
    Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iPod asks for permission before synchronizing with this music library. If you choose Auto-sync, iPod recognizes the second computer as its home computer and breaks the link with the original computer. If you do not choose Auto-sync, iPod switches to manual update mode, allowing you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod.
    Synchronization occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. But, if you legally are allowed to copy music files, you can configure your iPod as a hard disk to move music files.

  • IPod Video and Nike + iPod Sport Kit

    Does the sport kit work with the video ipod? If not, id there going to be a new version to use with it?

    The fifth generation's iPod firmware does not work with the iPod sport kit, possibly because the hard disk on that model of iPod is much more vulnerable to the iPod being dropped than the iPod nano's flash media is.

  • TS1484 Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

    Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

    I dont doubt your claim of 55-75 hours of usage
    solely on running since january. Even though you say
    that it has died prematurely with the range of hours
    you give since the time you purchased the sensor.
    I must ask if you were concious of turning off
    the sensor when it was not in usage. You know
    hitting that little button on the sensor itself to
    deactivate the battery. If your answer is no that you
    never remembered to turn off this sensor then. Your
    idea that it has died prematurely is bad. Because
    without physically turning off the sensor itself
    (thats the portion in the sole of the shoe) then it
    has been on 24/7 since you purchased it in january.
    Now if you have remembered to turn off the sensor
    after each run then it might have died prematurely.
    IF thats the case I would contact apple or the place
    from which you purchased it and ask for some help
    regarding the sensor.
    GFF:)
    Umm, no: From the FAQ
    "The sensor’s battery has a life of more than 1000 active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power management system which means that the sensor really only consumes power when active (that is, when it senses motion)."
    Mine is now showing the low battery indicator at 277 hours. I'm not the only one with premature battery failure.

    There are more threads (just search on "sensor battery").
    This should be covered by the warranty. Can someone from Apple please respond to this thread?

  • Nike+ iPod Sport Kit for my personal workout and running.

    I bought a Nike+ and I already have a iPod 5th Gen. with video and 80GB(which I love). Is there a software available to make the two compatible or is the Nike+ still only able to work with the iPod Nano? What should I do ?

  • I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike   Ipod sport kit.  However, it looks like the kit only works with older nanos with the 30 pin connector.  What kit or what accessory do I need to utilize the Nike   ipod sport kit fuctionality?

    I have a 7th generation nano, and am interested in the Nike + Ipod sport kit.  However, it looks like the kit has a 30 pin connector on the receiver and the 7th gen nano is a lightning connector.  Not sure if the kit will work.  What kit or what accessories do I need to utilize the Nike + ipod sport kit fuctionality in the 7th gen nano?  Do I just need a separate sensor and/or a heart rate monitor? Or is there a kit available for 7th gen nanos?

    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.)

    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.

  • HT1386 How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    How do I create one Apple ID and iTunes user name and password for all of my Apple products: iPad, iPhone, and iPod plus iTunes on my PC?

    Yes, I do have multiple devices and it appeared to me that every time I tried to sync or log onto iTunes, the password was incorrect.  Consequently, I was and am constantly changing it.  Wouldn't it be nice if Apple would simply say that you only need one Apple ID and one password regardless of the number of Apple devices you intend to sync via iTunes. 
    Barring the above, how about a way to merge all of the Apple IDs and passwords into one.

  • So.......When is the iTunes and Nike Plus update?

    So whats in the horizon regarding the i Tunes and Nike Plus server error problem? It has been 4 weeks now and plenty of data accumulated on my Nano. Is the fix coming soon? Thanks in advance.

    Well, I'm not the only one with this problem. I glad to see it does not affect you. But I'm getting tired of waiting for a fix that seems to a low priority. It's has been 4 weeks now......
    The previous suggestion was not successful, since it was for the 2nd generation and an older version of I tunes.

  • Iphone and Nike+

    Any news on if the iPhone will be able to use the Nike+ sports kit anytime soon? I had been using it on my nano but since I got the iphone I would rather carry only one device.

    Yes, your correct, this is a user forum.
    However, i am sure it is read by members who work for Apple, who may be able to answer the question. Also other members of this community may have also asked it too in the past, and they may be able to answer it.
    I read this thread hoping that someone may be able to shed light on it, why did you read it?

  • Bluetooth headphones and Nike Plus system at same time?

    I have been using the Nike Plus system with my nano for a while now, but would like to use wireless headphones while running. Is there a bluetooth adapter that will allow for the Nike Plus receiver to be plugged in simultaneously? Or is there some kind of splitter available?

    Yeah I do it. I use a Jabra bluetooth adaptor that uses the headphone port. Then I tuck the luetooth unit under my Marware Relay wristband.

  • I have a 5G, just bought my wife the nano and Nike Plus (question)

    I have a 5g and registered my iPod on my computer... Today, I purchased a nano and the nike plus for my wife.... Can she establish her account at nike plus? If she wants to use any of my songs do I have to put my seting in itunes to manual?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have exactly the same configuration as you.
    My main iPod is an 80gb 5G which I simply sync
    everything on my Mac with.
    I also have a 4gb Nano for running with the Nike+
    I simply connected the Nano to the Mac also. You can
    then configure as manual or automatic to sync.
    Depends on how you want to run things. I have a
    specific playlist for the Nano which I use and I
    just setup the sync to only do that one playlist (or
    others). Works like a dream.
    Configured like this the Mac (or PC if you have one)
    will sync each iPod seperately depending on the sync
    rules you set. The Nano will also sync with the
    Nike+ website as well but be sure to have the latest
    Nano software and set your wifes Nike+ account in the
    Nano preferences.
    Regards And Merry Christmas

    1. The nano is in the box yet so I don't know what software version it came with... What is the latest nano software?
    I want to make this as UNcomplicated as I can... Can I set the 2 ipods to manual and then she can create her own playlist of songs and put them into her nano?

  • Best way to organise photos on iphone and mac plus transferring question

    HI all
    sorry if this has been asked before. However what is the best way to set up photos i have taken on my iphone 4 on my iphone. At the moment all photos are in camera roll. Is it possible to set up different photo albums on my iphone?
    Also whats best way to keep the photos on my iphone and also transfer photos on my macbook pro to my iphone. As itunes only gives me a sync option and I believe that only puts certain photos from iphoto to my iphone and may replace photos that are on my iphone already. Also how to transfer photos on my macbook to my iphone. I am sorry if this is such a silly question. But hope someone can help and explain this to me.
    thanks in advance

    You need to import the photos in your camera roll to iPhoto. Treat the camera roll just like you'd treat any digital camera...temporary storage only. You cannot organize photos in the camera roll. Once in iPhoto, you can create various albums, copy whatever photos you want on your phone to these various albums, then select what albums/events you want to sync back to your phone in iTunes.
