Nano+nike question

I already have a 4gen 20gig ipod, but want to buy a nano to use for running, and use it with the nike+ gear (once its finally released in canada). i have a few questions...
a)i'm debating on what size i should get (1g, 2g or 4g)... i plan to only use the nano for working out and keeping the 20g ipod for commuting etc. I have 4.7gigs of music in my itunes library currently, and it grows weekly. what i'm worried about is the amount of space the data from the nike thingy will take up. would i be better to buy the 2 or 4g so i have space for the running data?
b) can anyone post a site for the key pouches for shoes, that people are using instead of buying a nike+ pair of shoes?
c) with my one ipod already set up with itunes, i understand you have to add a playlist for an additional ipod. what i'm worried about is when connecting the new nano, will it erase all the music from my itunes library?
d) has anyone bought the air zoom moire for women? how are they?
any help/suggestions would be much appreciated!

a) The running data takes up very little space according to this article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303933#faq8
b) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TQXFK/qid=1153101476/sr=1-2/ref=sr12/104-0867471-4186328?%5Fencoding=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&v=glance&n=3375251 or try your local sporting goods store
c) Nothing will be erased.
d) Can't help you there, as I adapted my own shoes to fit the sensor.
I'm pretty sure the original nano armband covers the dock connector, but Nike made one especially for the kit: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wo/1.RSLID?mco=B A3295B5&nplm=TJ549LL%2FA

Nano/Nike+ question. Will old kit work on the new iPod nano?

i had a 2nd generation nano with the nike+ kit when it first came out. i was given a 4th generation nano for xmas and was wondering if i can use the same nike+ kit or do i need to purchase a newer one? anyone know?

I have used the same Nike plus sports kit on all my ipods (2nd gen/3rd gen and the new 4th gen). You only have to purchase a new kit when the battery needs replacing.

Reciever not detected -- Nano+Nike System Failure

I'm on my 3rd Nike+ system. After approximately 20+ miles of running, my nano would no longer can detect the reciever. It would 'stop' the workout mid-way through and after that, the nano will not detect the reciever. I've replaced the sensor twice (and nano twice) and now the sensor went bad again.
I've had very bad reliability with this Nano+Nike system. Does anyone have any suggestions??

Took my kit and nano back to the shoe store. Exchanged the kit, plugged it into the nano and everything worked perfect.

IPod Nano with built in Nike+ question

My Nano has the Fitness app that allows you to track walking (pedometer) and running. I've noticed that when syncing it shows up as two separate things under the Nike+ tab when I have clicked on the device in iTunes. Furthermore, I have noticed that the runs sync with nikeplus.com whereas the walks sync with nikeplusactive.com. Both sets of data are kept separtely. Is this normal? Is there anyway to merge the data? The reason I ask is because it would be nice to see the data sets together and also it feels incomplete. What I mean by that is that on the nikeplusactive.com site it has a tab for runs. This always shows up as 0 since the runs don't sync here, what gives?

What surprises me is that this functionality was included in the new iTouch at all. Are there really enough people using Nike+ to justify building the receiver into the device? I can see it as an option, but not included as standard equipment.
Unless, of course, that chip can be used for other things in the future... Hmmm...

Ipod Nano volume question

Hi,
I use my nano as a music source on my motorcycle connected to an Autocom intercom. I have found it to be the best think yet for non skip music.
As I normally wear ear plugs I have always had a problem getting enough volume from other sources. However, with the nano I realise that you can import from itunes with a volume level adjustable up to +100%. I have found that at this import level I only need the volume turned up to about 80% on the nano when on the bike. However, even with AAC tracks I can hear some minor sound distortion.
My question is would I benefit copying from itunes to the nano at, say +75%, and then have to use more volume on the nano or remain with +100% and use less volume on the nano?
Or another way of asking is will I get better quality from increasing the volume from an import from itunes at a lower volume or increasing the volume on the nano to max?
Hope that makes sense!
Thanks,
Mark

I encountered this problem about a week into using it. I restored my iPod to fix the problem.
Everything was fine for me for about a week, but then at the start of one run, the Nike+ voice tried to say two sentences to me at the same time. I think it was the "Walk around to activate your sensor..." and whatever instruction happens next at the same time. From this point on, all of my songs and Podcasts were less than half the original volume, but the Nike+ voice was full volume. This basically ruined the rest of my workout.
I suggest trying to reset your iPod to see if this fixes the problem, and if not, then do a restore to your iPod.
The only bad thing about doing a restore is then your iPod loses all of its workout history, so from that point on your history is only on the Nike+ web site. Too bad iTunes doesn't transfer the workout history back to the iPod...
Good luck,

4 Nano Connection Questions

I have an old 20GB iPod w/dock connector (the one with the 4 buttons above the click wheel). The dock came with both a USB 2.0 cable and a firewire cable. I've been using the firewire cable, although I think I can find the USB cable that came with it.
I just got a new 3rd gen Nano. I haven't opened the box yet (it's a gift), but I understand that it comes with a USB 2.0 cable.
Questions:
1. Will the Nano fit in the old dock?
2. Can the Nano connect using firewire rather than USB, and if so, will it charge (the old iPod charges OK through the firewire connection)?
3. If a firewire connection will work, but the Nano won't fit in the dock, will the old firewire cable connect to the Nano?
4. The Nano specs say "USB 2.0". Other than slower transfer speed, will Nano work with a USB 1.0 port or is a USB 2.0 port required?

I think I've found the answer to one of my questions.
The firewire-to-dock cable will work to charge Nano, but not for sync. That suggests that the firewall cable will connect directly to Nano, and probably also that the Nano will fit in the dock, but that can be easily determined once I unpack Nano.

3rd Gen Nano/Nike+

Hey ive heard that the nike+ adapter falls out of the new nano easily, is this true does any body have any experience with the new nano and nike+?

No problems here with the Nike+ and the new Nano either. The graphics are a little easier to read when you are running as well.

Ipod nano - few questions - 8gb

I have just bought a new black ipod chromatic 8gb, and just have a few questions.
1. I have one dead pixel in around the middle of the screen, can this be fixed easily??
2. Why doesn't the new nano have music quiz? and is there another way to get it?
3. Is it going to work with wall charger if i decide to get one?
4. how long is the battery meant to last, because different places say different things, is it 24 hours (audio) or 12 hours (audio)?
Thanks

The pixel is dead forever so if you're still in your 30 day grace period, take it back for an exchange.
The music quiz is no longer available, unless you can find it pirated somewhere.
Most European countries, if not all of them have a different shaped wall plug from the US, so no, if you buy a regular charger here, it will not work without an adapter in Italy.
There are multiple universal chargers online and I even found one on the apple internet store, but I have not found one that is compatible with the nano chromatic.
I think your best bet would be to buy the new apple usb wall charger that just came out and buy an adapter for it either here, or in Italy, because odds are there won't be a universal charger compatible with the chromatic released before November.
Heres a pic of a standard Italian wall plug you would find in a kitchen, just for interest's sake (just copy and paste it cuz i cant remember how to make a link)

Need to erase all data from iPod Nano & Nike Receiver Chip

I bought a second hand nano with the nike receiver chip from a guy at school.
The ipod (and chip?) contains workout data that I would like erased because they are not my achievements.
Can this be done?

7th gen iPod nano nike distance very inaccurate

Three runs until today.
For a track distance of 6.4 km the nano gives a result of 10.2 km (I the calibrated the nano with 6.4 km)
For a track distance of 3.1 km the nano gives a result of 1.58 km (I can not calibrate as it only offes a max. distance of 2.5 km to calibrate to)
For a track distance of 2.4 km the nano gives a result of 1.8 km (I can not calibrate as it only offes a max. distance of approx. 1.9 km to calibrate to)
Will this improve??
P.S. It has the latest OS installed. 1.0.1

Without any kind of calibration whatsoever, my NIKE+ iPod Nano 7g is surprisingly accurate, given the fact that it only counts vertical acceleration impulses interpreted as steps.
On a 10.2km run (measured with MotionX GPS several times), it showed 9.97km. In other words, it underestimated by distance by 2.3%, which I think is OK considering the technology used. I didn't try it on a treadmill yet, but the "real-world" run was mostly on hard surface and in a flat area, using conventional running shoes.
In a hilly region with some trail sections across the woods, sometimes muddy, including jumps over fallen-down trees, it feels less accurate, but unfortunately I don't have GPS data on this specific path, so I cannot verify.
Next, I'll try on a treadmill. So far, however, I'm quite satisfied with the iPod 7G as a workout companion.
After all, I think counting steps might sometimes give even more conclusive results than measuring the actual distance, since it is hard to capture differences in soil and environment accurately, that would influence your energy consumption. On heavy slopes or in difficult terrain you typically make shorter steps, and the distance may be overestimated a bit, but will still give you an indication about the energy needed.

Ipod nano, nike+, playlist ?

I have the ipod nano 6th gen, when I use nike for a run, my songs USED To play in alphabetical order, now they shuffle, how do I get them to go back to alphabetical, I got used to that setup and would like it back! Thank you

See this article for information on transferring selected playlists to an iPod nano.

Ipod nano & Nike Polar wearlink (+ also shoe band?)

To monitore while running the heartbeat using my ipod nano, is it enough to buy and connect the Nike Polar wearlink to Ipod Nano (5° and 6° gen.)?
I don't understand if it also needs the shoes band. Before to buy Nike Polar wearlink I'd like to be sure.
Tks very much for your help

Yes, you need the Nike+ kit to connect the Polar Wearlink.
Pay attention buying the Polar Wearlink, there are many different types. Be sure to chose the ones for Nike+.
bye

3 Gen Nano Sync Question

I have a 3rd gen Nano (and two shuffles). Why when I attach the Shuffles will ITunes just fill it then to capacity (my library is much bigger than any of my IPods) but you can't do the same with the Nano unless ITunes makes a playlist?
Seems if it works with one type of Ipod it should work with all.
Thanks

I'm not sure if you are asking a question here. To state the obvious, as you've observed the Nano and the shuffle work in completely different ways. If you want to send feedback to Apple suggesting a similar setting for the Nano you can send it directly to Apple at this link: Apple Product Feedback

IPod nano, Nike+ discrepancy between verbal miles and display miles.

I've only used my Nike+ 3 times with my 3G nano. I've attempted to calibrate it, but still the displayed miles are significantly more than what the woman tells me when I push the center button and at the end of the workout. Why should they be different?
Any clues on how to fix?
Currently running 1.0.2 software on the nano. iTunes wants me to update to 1.1, but disconnects my wireless connection every time I try to update. That's probably an issue for another forum.
Thx!

There was a bug in an earlier version of the Nano software that caused the distance to be displayed in kilometers even though miles had been selected. The voice continued to give the distance correctly. You can test this out by dividing the distance displayed by 1.6. If it then agrees with what you're hearing, that's the problem.
Have you tried upgrading with a wired connection?

Nano-Nike "not supported"

Okay,
System:
OS 10.4.8
iTunes - Under About iTunes 7.02 (1S)
Ipod Nano Black 2GB
Under About:
Version 1.3
Nike+iPod Receiver 1.0.1
Original Kit bought when they first came out but given away as a gift. Plugged it in and it worked then boxed backed up and given away.
Bought a kit for myself today. When I plug the receiver in I get " The currently attached accessory is not supportd by this iPod"
Went into iTunes and restored my iPod. It is now clean, 1.83GB available. I still get the same message.
So it does see the receiver, because it is in the "About" section of the Nano, it just says it isn't supported. Also says the same thing on my son's Nano.
If we don't get it figured out by tomorrow, I'll take it back and get a different one and see if that fixes the problem.
Thanks for any help.
Matt

Took my kit and nano back to the shoe store. Exchanged the kit, plugged it into the nano and everything worked perfect.
