IPod can't detect receiver?

Today I bought a Nike + iPod set for my 3rd generation iPod Nano running version 1.1.3.
According to the manual I only need to insert the receiver and my iPod should detect it and show it in my menu. It doesn't however... After some tinkering I found out that by simply unchecking an re-checking Nike+iPod under Settings > Main Menu could get the Nike+iPod option to pop up in the main menu anyway.
Thinking I had cracked the problem, I selected Nike+iPod end the next problem switly arose. I get an error message saying:"No Reciever", "Waiting for Receiver...", "Attach a receiver to continue".
I'm running both the latest iPod software and iTunes, tried resetting the iPod several times and even tried cleaning the port with a dry brush. None of it seems to work.
Can anyone think of something, or has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution?

If not:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Need Help - My iPod can not detect on PC and can not be Formated

Dear All,
I really need your help..
My Classic iPod 120 GB suddenly got hang when playing a song, then I tried to restart it with pressing SELECT+MENU together as usual. After that, all songs were not detected on my iPod, but when I checked the size on the Setting>About, all songs were marked as Other, not as Audio.
After that, I want to format+restore my iPod on my PC, but when the Format got started, my PC suddenly hang (this was because there's a problem on my PC's HDD, but now thanks God it's already been settled). When I tried to format it once again, it got stuck for very long time just when I right-clicked the iPod on "My Computer", and when I checked checked the size on the Setting>About, it mentioned 0 KB free and 0 kb Used . When I tried to opened in iTunes, it did not detected and iTunes got hang, even after I re-installed it and use the newest version.
Is there anyway to save my iPod???
Thank you for the attention,
Rio

Hi Rio,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod is not detected and iTunes is unresponsive when you connect it, I recommend starting with the troubleshooting steps in this article:
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1363
Once your iPod is recognized by iTunes, see this article for the steps to restore your iPod:

IPod can't detect on iTunes

My iPod touch is stuck at apple logo and the loading circle. It can't be detected on iTunes so I can't recharged or restore. I've tried recovery mode, DFU, and force recovery mode but still doesn't work. I don't think anything is wrong with the driver or laptop's software cz it works perfectly fine with my nano.

Hello Tugunk
Start your troubleshooting in the article below to get your iPod Touch to show back up in iTunes. You will pick the article that is for the type of computer that you have at home.

TS1363 my computer says that my new ipod can be detected but not identified. When I plug it in to my computer no screen appears asking me to register it. Help!!

I purchased a new IPOD and my when I plug it in my computer says that it can not be identified.
In the past when I have plugged in a new ipod a screen will pop up and ask me to register it.
Why is this not happening?

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

Why my ipod can not be detected in wimdows 8.1

I received this message when I connect my ipod to my computer.....An ipod has been detected but it could not be identified. Please disconnect and reconnect the ipod. I have uninstalled itunes-reinstalled and tried other advice from apple website, but nothing works. Windows 8.1 64bit. What esle can I do to try to resolve this problem? I have the latest version of itunes. This problem just recently started.

THANK YOU, Kayliababy94!
I have been messing around with this ridiculous problem for HOURS, doing all the excruciating steps listed on the Apple "help" pages, and I didn't get anywhere until I uninstalled all the Apple files like you suggested.
Honestly, would it kill someone in the Apple tech support department to add your suggestion to the top of the troubleshooting list? I'm mad I had to come to the "regular people" forums to get any assistance that actually helped!
Anyway, I "liked" your solution, and I hope it helps others as much as it helped me!

Help!!! Itunes and Pc can't detect my Ipod Touch 4g

I tried everything that Apple Support told me to do and still can't detect my ipod touch 4g. Still stuck at apple boot logo, tried DFU mode and Recovery, still can't be detected by PC or Itunes. What to do? I need Help Badly.
When i connect my ipod, no sounds pops out but it opens and charge still stuck at boot logo.
I'm running Windows7 ultimate.
Some told me to connect it to a Mac Book, is it possible that it can be detected on a mac book? Because i only tried connectin it to other Windows PC with XP, Vista and still haven't got anything. I don't thinl it's a hardware problem cause my ipod just run low on battery and i restarted it and then It got stuck. xD

- Yes, another computer may help.
- Next try disconnecting from computer/charger and let the battery fully drain. Then charge and try again.
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective, they will give you a replacement under your warranty.

HT201413 I am receiving a message saying the iPod "TRACER's iPod" can not be synched. The required file can not be found. I ran the iTunes program repair and restarted both the computer and the iPod. Any suggestions on what else to try?

That can sometimes be caused by a damaged ipod photo cache.
If you remove the current ipod photo cache, does that get you past the error?
For instructions on where to find it, see the following document:

am trying to restore my Ipod touch 5 generation but I am receiving an error message that says your Ipod can not be restored you need your password I don't know my password so I don't know what to do. I have started the procedures 3 times but no luck till now

If it is asking for the screen-lock passcode then:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Otherwise follow varjak paw recommendation

HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do. So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything. It could be that your router is not in Apple's database. In that case you will just have to wait until they add it. Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.

I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

I can't get my new 7th gen nano to sync to my exsisting itunes. It keeps saying the ipod is not detected.

If youre like me, I have so many Apple devices, I always move things over manually rather than remember what to sync and what not to sync........ There’s an option to UNCHECK sync on any device if that helps you in ITUNES.
On any device, like your phone, in ITUNES you can check the option for manual vs. automatically sync.

An iPod has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please disconnect and reconnect, then try again

Hello Zoe97,
I would try this:

Go through ALL the steps. Most of the time one of them fixes it.
Hope this helps.
