Ipod touch cannot find sensor

I have had my sensor for about a week. First time I used it, it worked great. Since then the touch cannot find the sensor. I have the sensor in a pouch on top of my shoe with the flat side up. Any suggestions? Thanks. Also what is the purpose of the small button on the rounded side of the sensor?

My wife and I also just bought iPod Touches, Nike+ sensors, and Nike+ shoes. Mine has been working perfectly, but hers synced on day 1, but now acts like the sensor is broken (it isn't, because it syncs with my iPod touch). I'm wondering if there is a problem with her iPod (it's an 8GB 3G, whereas mine is a 32GB 3G).
We tried waking up the sensor by pressing the button on the unit, and even putting the sensor to sleep first by holding in the button for 3 seconds. We know how to sync it, because we can sync it with mine. I'm calling Apple today and will report back with any findings.

  • Ipod Touch - cannot find server

    Hi, I am having desperate trouble in trying to connect wirelessly to an Airport extreme base station. All seems to be working, with itouch offering connection to Airport. We have a whirring spinner, then I get the infernal message "Safari can't open the page because it can't find the server." I have tried all combinations of settings, but all to no avail! Can anyone help please?
    kind regards

    First and formost, turn off your Airport. Turn off your Touch. Turn on your airport and then turn on your touch. If that does not help, repost.

  • "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced ....?????

    I'm getting a "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist" pop-up when ever I sync.
    Here is a post that seems to addressing the same type of error message for a failed music sync but after reading it I'm not making any sense of how it might relate to the a problem with a podcast sync: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1788041.
    In a reckless attempt to fix the problem I deleted all the playlists which I created in iTunes, then deleted and resubscribed to the podcasts, and then did a sync. But the error still occurs and no podcasts were added to the iTouch (even though the newly resubscribed podcasts are in iTunes on my PC). I also found that I could download a podcast directly to the iTouch without having to subscribe to the podcast in iTunes. But I'd rather be getting the podcasts via the subscription feature that is in iTunes and then syncing them to the iTouch.
    Any ideas what is going on ?
    Thank you.

    After reading your post several times, I think I understand what you are saying, but can we just check the precise sequence of events, for (let's say) one Podcast episode?
    Are you:
    1. downloading the Podcast in iTunes;
    2. Syncing the iPod and therefore placing that Podcast on the Touch;
    3. Listening to the Podcast and then using the delete facility _on the Touch_ to delete that Podcast from the Touch;
    (3A. Adding more Podcasts (and/or music) to your iTunes Library;)
    4. Performing another Sync and getting the message "Podcasts on the iPod 'iPod touch' cannot be synced because all of the podcasts selected for syncing no longer exist"?
    Step 3A may or may not have occurred, it's not crucial. What is important to find out from you, are you deleting Podcasts on the Touch?
    Phil
    Oh, and by the way, if new Podcast are no longer being transferred to the iPod, has the setting for syncing Podcasts been changed? Look on the Podcasts pane when you connect the iPod to iTunes.

  • Nike  iPod = crash , cannot link sensor

    Hello everyone,
    I just bought today my first Nike+ sensor so I can go out running with my iPod touch 4gen. The problem is....I DOES NOT WORK!
    I turned the in Settings>Nike+ iPod> ON .
    This caused that the Nike+ iPod app was installed on my iPod. However when I try to run it, it crashes on startup.
    Moreover I cannot link my iPod touch with sensor because the Sensor option in Settings>Nike+ iPod is Grayed out! As well as Remote option.
    I tried everything and nothing happened. What is this? This is the best what Apple and Nike could do? Help me guys. There must be a lot of people using iPod touch with Nike sensor on iOS5. Or am I the only one?

    My iPhone 5 would not work with the sensor.  The app would crash and the sensor option was greyed out and could not be selected.
    Thanks to AnthonyFROMHK - I fixed this by downloading iExplorer, selecting Media and deleting the "device" folder under the "iTunes_control" folder.  Next, I turned off Nike+ipod from Settings then turned it back on.
    The app now runs and the sensor can be paired.  Hope this helps someone.

    Sort of if you can get hold of the iPod before it is erased, turn wifi off, then backup the iPod, turn wifi on and let it erase. Then restore from backup.

  • Is there any way to locate an iPod touch when find my iPhone has been downloaded to it but not switched on this same iPod touch?

    I recently purchased my daughter an iPod touch, downloaded find my iPhone on the fourth day and she lost it on day 5 before I could turn on the app.  I did not know if there is a way to activate the app remotely or another solution.  Any suggestions?

  • IPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library

    Hi, I have just transferred my whole iTunes library from my old computer to my new one and am trying to sync my iPod to the new one. However I get an error message saying "iPod touch cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes Library (additional 5.38GB required). I currently have 8.5GB free on my iPod so I don't understand why it cannot sync.

    Hey Georgiarose94, If what's going on, is what I think it is, when you sync the information it's over written, it can take 2 to 3 times more space the get the info on your iPod, once it's there the info only occupies the space it needs. Kind if of like moving, when you first step in the room with boxes of stuff there's no room. But after you get everything put away all is well. If you haven't already, connect your iPod to your computer, from your iPod Summary page, go down to Options and check reduce bit rate to (select 128 kbps). (Wording maybe a little different). Will greatly reduce memory space needed on your iPod, and you really do not hear the difference in sound quality. Other option, go to music and select manual so you can pick which music you place on the iPod. You need to reduce by 5.38GB of information to finish your download. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • After update to ios 5, my ipod touch cannot recharge anymore... it's out of battery now what should I do?

    After update to ios 5, my ipod touch cannot recharge anymore... it's out of battery now what should I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

    My Ipod touch "cannot be restored" and says "unknown error -1" when  I try to update the software on it. I've reset factory settings in hopes that it would make a difference. Nothing. Help....

    Error -1
    Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
