IPod Nano 7 Sensor

What the iPod Nano 7G Accelerometer Sensor does?

I believe it's used for Nike + to acuratly record how many steps you do and measures your pace and other stuff, also not sure if this has games but my 5th gen nano the one with the camera has a accelerometer and its for games theres a marble games where you tilt your nano.
hope this gives brief overview.

  • 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.

  • IPod nano 7th generation sensor issue

    I just got an iPod nano 7th generation. I'm trying to figure out the nike fitness section. It keeps telling me "not linked to sensor" when I try to set up a run. I was under the impression that I wouldn't have to buy a separate sensor. Is this true? Can someone help me figure out what to do? Thanks!

    You need to disable the nike + sensor in Nike app in your ipod. When disabled you will be able to do run/walk workout using the built-in pedometer. Cheers!

  • HT2293 Do i need nike+ sensor with iPod nano 6.generation?

    Do i need nike+ sensor with iPod nano 6.generation?

    According to this page: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
    Track your walk. Or your run.
    The built-in accelerometer in iPod nano gives you real-time feedback on your workout, and you can upload data to the Nike+ website. There’s no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, and time. Just clip on iPod nano and go. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine to keep track of every workout. Back at your computer, upload all your data to the Nike+ website to create personal goals, check your progress, and challenge your friends to top your results.Learn more about Nike + iPod

  • Do I need nike plus sensor with iPod Nano 7h generation?

    I want to buy a iPod Nano just for the nike + support and logging my daily runs. is it mandatory to have the sensor in the shoe?

    No, it's not. Neither the 6th nor 7th generation nano needs the sensor. I have the 7th generation and use the running app all the time. Have never used the sensor. Do expect to need to calibrate the app from time to time, as it will be off, distance wise.

  • Using iPod Nano with two Nike+ sensors

    Hi,
    I have searched your site but cannot find any information regarding my query. I bought an Nike+ sensor and pick-up unit for our iPod nano 3rdG for my wife to use. We have one iPod, one PC and one iTunes account. This has worked great and now I want to start running. My question is if I buy another sensor and pick-up unit will the iPod store the information separately? Will iTunes be able to upload the date to a different Nike+ account? We would not be able to run together I know that. Whenever I run I'll use my sensor and pick-up unit and whenever my wife runs she will use hers. Will this be possible. Thanks

    I have a ITouch and I run iTunes on a Mac.
    My iTunes keeps track of two different sensors.
    I go to my settings "Nike + iPod" menu and turn on and off, them I press "sensor" and link to whatever sensor I am using.
    Now when I got to iTunes "Nike + iPod" it shows "sensor 1" and "sensor 2" it also allows me to edit the name of the sensors.
    My question is, I want to delete one of the sensors and I don't know how

  • Nike + sensor isn't recognized by my iPod nano (5th generation)

    I've tried everything but I can't get my new iPOD nano (5th generation) to locate my sensor. I've tried rebooting the iPOD, I've tried turning the senor on and off a bunch of times and nothing. The battery isn't low. Any other suggestions?

    if you haven't already figured it out; you have to also have the Nike+ receiver - it's the little white plug that plugs into the bottom of the ipod nano
    there's MAJOR confusion among apple employees who say that the 5th generation ipod nano, which i recently bought, automatically detects the sensor - but it doesn't. You need the sensor AND the receiver.
    hope this helps; albeit a little late. cheers-

  • My ipod touch 4th gen sometimes is unable to locate my nike  sensor.  works fine with an ipod nano.

    i got an ipod touch for christmas after using an ipod nano with my nike+ sensor.  after a month or so, the ipod touch was unable to locate my sensor after i pause during my workout.  since the sensor was a little old, i got a new one and it worked for about 2 weeks, then i had the same problem.  tried using my ipod nano and it has no trouble locating the sensor.  what is wrong with the ipod touch?

    the first time, settings>nike+ was grayed out and i couldn't turn off the nike+ button.  had to reboot to recover the nike+.  yesterday and today, bluetooth and nike+ are active in settings, however, the sensor can't be located. 
    i'd rather not reset everytime this happens.  do you think the bluetooth is defective?

  • Es necesario el sensor de Nike con el nuevo iPod nano

    Es necesario comprar el sensor de Nike para el iPod nano touch 7

    According to this page: http://www.apple.com/ipod-nano/
    Since Nike+ support and a pedometer are built into iPod nano, there’s no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, time, and calories burned.

  • IPod nano 7th gen (brand new) doesn't recognize Headphones

    I have a brand new iPod nano (7th gen), and it doesn't detect when headphones are plugged in. I have read that the problem can ocurr because the headphones are not correctly inserted or that the headphone jack has dust inside. As i always do on a regular basis with mp3 devices, i cleaned out the jack to be sure
    This is what happens:
    When music is not playing i hear a crackle pop sound every 2 seconds or so. My headphones are perfectly fine and work with my Samsung galaxy s4 and my old iPod touch, and my brothers iPhone. Just don't work with iPod nano. I have 3 pairs of headphones all which do not work but I do not have the original headphones. they are so uncomfortable and seems unfair to me that apple would have a one size fits al headphone that only works with the device. I do not intend on switching.
    When I play a song, and then press the sleep/wake button to turn off the display, the music stops. Or if I let the music play, it stops when the screen times out and turns off. These two things occur because the iPod "thinks" that there are no headphones inserted.
    When I try to activate the FM radio, the radio won't start because it says that there is no radio signal (which occurs when no headphones are connected).
    Needless to say, the microphone and volume controls of the iPhone headset, don´t work at all (they even work on the iPod shuffle!).. and because of this, no voice recording for me!
    I have also restored the device in iTunes, and updated with no luck.....
    Thanks in advance for any useful answer!

    First, make sure the headphones plug is completely inserted into the nano's headphones jack.  It should "click" into place.  The fit may be tighter than expected, especially when new.  There is a sensor in there, and if the plug is not completely inserted, you may get some sound, but the nano will not "sense" the headphones.
    If that is not the problem, you should have the nano looked at under warranty.  It should work with any standard headphones. If there is an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there.

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen. & Nike App

    Good morning friends,
    I am interested in purchasing an iPod Nano 7th Gen. for the fitness app but I have some queries - I've checked online and am a little more confused then when I started.
    I understand that the Nike Fitness App doesn't need the shoe sensor in order to work.  This is the main reason I am interested in purchasing the product; however, in the store the personnel indicated that the shoe sensor is required.  I investigated this a little and now I am of the understanding that you can use the app without the shoe sensor for walking/running, but that having said sensor makes the app more efficient/accurate.
    Could someone clarify this for me, and indicate which are the functions when having the iPod only or having the iPod + shoe sensor?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    Hello,
    I have the ipod nano 7th gen. I use it without the sensor and it works fine. It is quite accurate. I have tested it by running around my neighborhood and then compared my run  to Google Maps and it was pretty close. After each run, you can calibrate your distance. This will make your runs even more accurate.

  • IPod Nano (6th gen) and Technogym treadmill

    Hi,
    I have a 6th gen iPod Nano and I have been using it with nike+ for a while. In particular, I have been using the transmitter plugged in the ipod and the sensor in my nike shoe to track my running data and eventually upload it to nikeplus.com. Hence, I have one sensor linked.
    Today, I went to my local gym and saw a Technogym treadmill with a big touchscreen and a possibility to dock an ipod. (I assume that the model of treadmill is a couple of years old, because it had a TV, fan, ipod support, etc., but no internet support. Here is the image of the exact treadmill - http://cityfitness.lv/upload/IMG_0452.JPG).
    Moreover, I plugged in my 6th gen ipod nano. Set up and started a 5k run on the technogym treadmill. My ipods music was accessible on the technogym instantly. Also, I saw that during the workout the ipod's screen showed "Nike+. Workout data is recording" or something like that.
    I did the 5k and finished the workout. I unplugged the iPod nano but my workout did not appear under Fitness - History. When I got home, I connected the ipod to iTunes, and the ordinary-afer-a-workout popup asking whether I want to send workout data to nikeplus appeard. I clicked yes. BUT, again, nikeplus.com does not show my technogym workout and neither does itunes.
    The only thing appearing in iTunes, is a new sensor. Its name is "Gym User 1" or something like that.
    So the question is. How can I get my 6th gen iPod Nano to fully work with technogym treadmill?
    Thanks,
    Reinis

    Hello mark0198,
    I'm afraid not. Your computer must meet the minimum requirements.

  • IPod nano 6th gen digitizer issues

    Hi,
    I recently replaced the battery in my oow ipod nano 6th gen. After replacing everything, it booted up fine, but now the touch screen capabilties are not working. I took apart another oow 6th gen nano and I get the same result.
    I went to the diagnostics menu and whenever I press "Sensor Test" it says Please Wait and will flash back to previous menu. The same happens with "IC version" and when I check for errors, it says No IC error reported. It's a bit confusing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    I appreciate your help!
