IPod Nano and Nike +

Is there a way to use Nike + on the Nano to track your workout but not stop the music?  If i am doing a workout that doesnt utilize running and i want music to play, I cannot use Nike + because it will stop the music even though I am working out and I want to track my workout.  It is very anoying.  For example, the nano doesnt pick up a push up as activity so it will stop the music until i am jump roping or something like that.
I appreciate your answers.
Thanks

I wouldn't say it's a compatibility problem exactly but since the last system update, the 3rd gen nanos will visibly report the distance incorrectly if you have your preferences set for miles. For example, if you ran a mile, it would show that you had gone 1.6 miles, which of course, would be correct if you had select kilometers instead. It still uploads everything correctly to the Nike+ website. My solution to the problem was simple: I just switched over to kilometers. Now it all matches. Apparently, Apple knows about it as does Nike+. I suspect it will get fixed in a software upgrade at some point.
Other than that, I don't have any problems. I really love it and find it very motivating. If you want to avoid the whole issue, you can probably get a good deal on a refurbed 2nd gen online at Apple. Just keep in mind that the 2nd gens don't play video or have the slick new interface (about which you/he may or may not care).

  • Ipod nano and nike plus

    I just purchased an Ipod Nano 6th gen. the manual says:   Upload your steps or workout information to Nike+: 1 Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes. 2 Click Send in the dialog that appears, and then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Nike+ account. Once you set up your account, a Nike + iPod tab appears in the iTunes window. 3 Click the Nike + iPod tab, and then select “Automatically send workout data to Nike+” if it isn’t selected already. 4 Click Apply. To view and share your information on the Nike website, click Visit Nike+ in the Nike + iPod pane when iPod nano is connected to your computer, or go to www.nikeplus.com and log in to your account.  i have connected it many times and have never seen this "send" prompt. what gives?

    I don't know if you answered your question?
    It seem’s I have the same problem. I am not able to see the data collected on my Nano 6th on the nikeplus website (no graph, nothing).
    Visiting the Nano6 Nike guide, you can read :
    (http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/support/#answers/detail/a_id/23904/p/3169,3171)
    “Walk
    Select Walk if you would like to track your steps all day and complete a Daily Step Goal. Step information will also be sent through iTunes to Nike+ Active (will open in a new window), where you can conquer the world.”
    If you follow the  Nike+ Active hyperlink you fell on the following paragraph:
    (http://nikeplus.nike.com/plus/active)
    “Nike+ Active is taking a break.
    The site will be down while we move to the new Nike+. Your steps, runs and gym workouts are safe and sound. When Nike+ Active returns this fall, your data will be there -- on a platform that lets you do more than ever before. Thanks for conquering the world with us, and, in the meantime,check out the new Nike+.”
    So, for the Nano6, is this site really not working before a date in autumn, probably 2012?
    Is there no synchro mistake on our side?
    Is this only the case for the nano6?

  • Ipod nano and nike compatability

    I want to buy a nano and the sports pack for my husband for christmas. He says there are compatibility issues with the new nano's. Which one should I buy? He loves to run so this is why I want to buy this for him.

  • 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.

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

    I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

    Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
    If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library.  My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books.  I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

    I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library.  My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books.  I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.  Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it.  My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • Ipod Nano and Icelink Car adapter

    Well i recently installed the Icelink adapter on my BMW's Bussiness CD. I bought an Ipod Nano and i am facing a weird issue that noone can explain.
    Though the Nano works fine with the CD player in my car, in certain songs "Warning" is displayed in the CD player's screen and either Nano or CD Player turns off and back on.
    If i skip the song within 2-3 minutes moving forwards/backwards it works until i reach a song that can be played.
    Note that i controll the Nano from the CD Player's menu buttons.
    I have also upgraded it to software version 1.1.1 but still it does the same thing and only in certain songs.
    It's weird cause all of these songs play fine in any player in my laptop and through Nano connected to my home stereo or earphones.
    An other funny thing is that i connected another regular IPOD which interacts with the car's CD Player fine without having issues like the ones i mentioned above.
    Does anyone have any idea why this issue occures??
    Thanks in advance.

    Well i figured it out.
    In order for icelink to transmit the song played in Nano to the CD Player, all songs must have information related both to the Song title and artist name. Otherwise Icelink can not work properly and interact completely with the CD Player.
    The info should be added through Itunes only.

  • Hi, I have a 7th Gen Ipod Nano and I am unable to delete songs. When synced on the PC I can select tracks but right clicking on them does not give the ability to delete. I have downloaded the latest 1.0.3 software but it did not help.

    Hi,  I have a 7th gen ipod nano and am having a problem with deleting songs. I can select the track in my ipod's library but right clicking does not bring up the option to delet. I have downloaded the latest update for the ipod but this has not solved the issue. Can anyone suggest a remedy? thanks

    Hello Lor100,
    In order to delete or add individual songs from and to your iPod, you'll need to enable 'manual mode' on the device. This will allow you to add and remove exactly the content you desire.

  • I rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with playlist. I also have Windows 8. I need help!

    I have rec'd an iPod Nano and can't get it to sync with my existing playlist. I am using a Windows 8 Dell laptop. Any suggestions?

    One iCloud account has one user name (a .mac or .me email name) and password.  If you have set up multiple accounts in the past then you must choose one and stay with it.  If you don't know the user name, then you have a problem.  If you haven't really begun using iCloud (but you mention trying to get mail, so I'm assuming you have used iCloud before), then use a .mac or .me account you know you have or just sign up for a new account - and be sure to write down the name and password for future use.
    If you want to use the account to sync your contacts, email, calendars, etc, then each of your ios devices need to use the same account, otherwise they will be independent of one another.
