New IPOD tocuh with built in Nike+IPOD running kit, ***???

I see that Apple has now launched a new IPOD Touch. What surprises me is that the receiver that comes with the Nike running kit is built into the Touch. I could never imagine running/working out with my Touch. I am really surprised that they didn't do this with the Nano.

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...

Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi? If so, please describe the requirements and process. Thanks.

Has anyone successfully connected an AEBS to the new Panasonic TVs with built-in WiFi? If so, please describe the requirements and process. (TV subscription is through DirecTV and ISP is TWC.) Thanks.

If you wish to use the cellular capabilities of a device, you will need a SIM (unless the carrier uses CDMA which doesn't use SIMs) and you will have to pay a cell carrier. No cell company provides service for free. The only way you will get free Internet is via WiFi to a free and open WiFi access point, as sometimes is offered in public buildings or by some businesses.

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?

New iPod running Mac - I run Windows (how can I convert)

I have just got a new (secondhand for a mate) iPod Classic and it has arrived already loaded with music and TBH I would like to keep it (over 5000 tracks) but the problems is when I plug it into my iTunes account it wants to clear all the music, it is set in a Mac format and I'm running my account through Windows.
question is "Can I convert all the music from a Mac format into Windows and not lose all the music?

Hello Rochey30,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Not without the help of some third party software such as XPlay or Macdrive. These both come at a cost.
Otherwise, no. Sorry.

How to use the new MacBook 13'' with Built-in 7-hour battery

Hi,
I just bought the new MacBook, it is my first Mac, and having the Built-in 7-hour battery I don't know if I can plug it in most of the times without doing any damage to the battery.
On other portable computers, I just take the battery out and than plug it in and use it, but in this one that can not be done.
So, what to do? Try to always drain and recharge fully, or it is no problem to plug it in when the battery is fully charged?
I read that you should let it sleep(when it goes to sleep because it doesn't have battery)for 5 hours before charging it so it really drains. Is that really necessary?
Also after it goes to sleep and I plug it in to charge, should I let it charge in Sleep Mode, or should I Shut it down and let it charge?
What has been your experience with battery life? The first time I used it, it lasted for 4hours, is this normal and it will get better with 3 or 4 fully charges/draines?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hey guys, I understand your concern that you're not getting 7 hours out of your battery but let me put a couple things into perspective and also offer you some info from Apple's website that may or may not explain why you aren't getting the full 7 hrs.
First mgb545, 5.5 hours is killer for laptop battery, but nonetheless you paid for it for the 7 hour battery so I don't fault you in any way for wanting what they said you would get.
Second, the MacBook is Apple's "sub $1000" notebook. At first mention of that you think, "alright, it's under a thousand bucks!". It is, it's just $999...
My point is that it's an advertising game. The MacBook can get +up to+ 7 hours on a single charge but not everybody is doing the same things or has the same configuration as when Apple was testing their machines. You might have a Time Machine HDD backing up (which I don't recommend nor do I think you guys do since you didn't mention it) or some other USB peripheral that takes power which would lower the battery's life. However, I think there is
This is straight an easier explanation... This next blurb is the "fine print" from Apple's website right on their MacBook page about how they got 7 hrs.
+"Testing conducted by Apple in October 2009 using preproduction 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo-based MacBook units. Battery life depends on configuration and use. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. The wireless productivity test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing various websites and editing text in a word processing document with display brightness set to 50%."+
That all being said, I think or at least hope you'll find your answer there. For starters, it says "various websites". Who knows if those were basic HTML or Flash heavy sites or a combination of both? The other stipulation of this is brightness. Do you guys have your brightness at 50% or is it higher?
Try this, I know the weekend just passed, but if you find that you have 7 hours where you don't need your laptop, leave it on, make sure it doesn't go to sleep or screen saver, play with it every so often, leave wi-fi on, make sure your brightness is at 50% and then see how long it lasts.
One last thing, when you say you're getting 5.5 hrs out of your battery, how low are you letting it go to? I'm assuming when Apple says "a single charge" they mean it. So if you're getting 5.5hrs when it goes down to 8 or 10% you also need to factor in the extra time you might gain from that.
Hope this help, let me know how your computers are set up, I'm curious to know if this will resolve or at least account for your lack of 7 hrs because me just recently got the 13" MBP and it doesn't get 7hrs either.

New Dell Monitor with built in Webcam

I just got the new Dell monitor (SP2008WFP) that has the built in web cam. Everything works great with iChat in that I can see and hear the other person perfectly. However, they report that they hear a lot of echo which does not seem to disappear no matter what I do with input level or the output level. Either the microphone is very sensitive or the drivers for this webcam are not really perfected yet.
I have it set up on a Mac Pro with the output coming out of the digital output through speakers, and the input as the webcam microphone.
Any ideas anyone?
(For what its worth the monitor does seem to basically work for all those that were looking into getting one - I know I couldn't find anything on the web to confirm that it even worked)

Ralph,
Thanks for the response, you are quite a trooper on this forum!
I had my quicktime speed set for Cable (1Mbps) since that is what I have. On your suggestion I upped it to 1.5Mbps and in the video preview window it looks like the audio response from the mic is a little more 'snappy'. I will need to connect with someone to determine if this has really occurred though and I'll get back to you. Hopefully I made it clear before, but I am experiencing this delay in response even when I am not connected to anyone (just using the preview window in iChat), its almost like there is a delay in the mic picking up sound. I'd be surprised if changing the quicktime bandwidth helped, but I have to confess it does look better, so I have to give you credit.
Even though this monitor is a Dell, I really want it to work as I have been looking for an integrated solution for the Mac Pro for some time and Apple just doesn't appear to be coming out with it. The video is great, but the echo is very annoying. Hopefully if the delay is eliminated then the iChat software will do a better job of filtering out the echo. I'm not sure if I mentioned it in the first post but the echo only appears on the other end of the iChat, everything on my end is perfect, no echo at all. However, the only new component in the mix from previous iChats is my new Dell monitor.
Thanks again for your help, I'll post back if this works.

Are there any new 17 " MBPs with matte display out which run properly?

Hallo,
I am about to buy one 17 MBP with matte display. But now I ve read all these posts and
I hesitate to order one. I don't want to have all the trouble to send it back and then wait
again. So, are there any guys who can not report these graphic issues?
Yours
Matthias

CD = Core Duo, the 1st generation of 17" MBP from way back in 2006. It was flawless when I got it. It's still running perfectly 3 years later. Only issue was a bad battery, and that was a known manufacturing problem at Sony that affected Macs as well as PC laptops. Apple extended the warranty to cover the issue, and replaced mine for free ~3 months after my one-year warranty expired. Two colleagues have the new 17" unibody MBP, one with glossy and one with matte, both are flawless.

New Toshiba HDTV with DVD

I recently pruchaed a new Toshiba HDTV with built in DVD. When I hooked it up to my Verizon Cable connection my cable remote will not control ON/OFF or VOLUME. I have to turn the tv on with the Toshiba remote and also use it to control the volume. How can I get my Verizon Cable Remote to control ON/OFF and Volume? Thanks mdc/

You are using an external tuner (cable box) that is why volume adjustment using the cable's remote will not be applicable. Volume is part of the TV's settings. To control the TV's settings (Like the volume) you need to program the cable box remote (If applicable).

Issues with new Ipod, & questions Ive searched the forum for with no luck!

Hi everyone!
Just got a brand new Ipod Touch 8G, used to have a used 16G but it finally broke. So since I bought this one brand new I actually decided to register it with Itunes under my email, unlike the last one which someone gave me and I could never get to let me sign in. I also JUST changed banks, and dont have the CC yet 4 the new one so I tried using Paypal as my registration payment type for Itunes, even went into Paypal and added ALL my new bank routing numbers, AND put a little cash into Paypal. At first this seemed to work fine with Itunes, it let me finish signing up and even let me start downloading a few free things, THEN I went into my separate paypal account window to remove an OLD prepaid Netspend card in case anyone charged the old card (trust me prepaid cc are a scam!) it wouldnt take my money from the bank thru paypal. AS SOON as i removed the card, Itunes stopped downloading my free stuff, and told me I had to verify payment information, took me to the main Itunes screen, where i again chose Paypal, only this time it took me right into Paypal to where u go to add a credit card and it told me I NEEDED to add a credit or debit card to paypal! WHY? It had worked fine, I have money on the account and a BANK ACCOUNT attatched!
*So i decided to just work on copying my music from my computer to the Ipod since I couldnt get Itunes working. This is where I have a few questions, have searched here cant really find the info so here goes...
first of all since I'm sure someone will ask what VERSION I have, WHERE the heck do you find this info? Cause all I know is its a brand new 8G Touch, it says nothing on the box about a version, when I access my General Settings on the Ipod, and go to About it says Version 4.0. So i guess thats my version even tho people on here have said there is nothing that high for the 8G?
**Second, i have been trying to find a better way to organize my music. I KNOW i can simply go to Music, Artist, pick the band then hit shuffle, BUT I am a big fan of playlists, I like my music to play in a certain way usually. But I have some artists that I have HOURS of music for, Im not sure i understand how I can change exactly what songs play by this artist, in a certain order for that time? I'm guessing I need to use my actual Itunes computer screen to do this? Right now I just have all my songs by an artist under a playlist with their name.. However, I am more than willing to sacrifice some of my longer playlists with just one artist in them if ANYONE thinks that it would help free up ANY more space? I have seen quotes from Apple and such that say the 8G should be able to hold around 1700 songs, of course i know this is a rough estimate, as some songs are longer, but I havent put THAT much on it, under my General/About tab it says 360 songs, and I removed ALL my pics from it cause i have a lot, and STILL I have already supposedly filled up 3.73GB, and this bring me to my next big issue-
**WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83!? I mean I havent added anything but music yet, and I planned on getting some of the free apps n such, but at this rate I wont have the space! I know 6.83 isnt far from 8, but still I feel cheated...does it have anything to do with the UPDATED version of the software that Apple convinced me to update RIGHT after I had JUST installed the Ipod? Cause it took forever then it said it was RESTORING my Ipod, and it told me on Itunes that it was restoring my music from backup! Why would it have erased all content during a basic upgrade without even telling me? Is there any way to uninstall that update and get back the memory it took up? And do these backup files take up space like on a normal computer? what about under settings where it says something about condense? I just think I must be doing something wrong cause 8G and 16G arent THAT vastly different,but the old touch I had had a WHOLE BUNCH more music on it PLUS 1000s of pics, PLUS some Apps, and wasnt nearly full, this one I added my fav artists and its nearly full?
Well, thanks a bunch for anyone who stuck with me there...I'm not tech stupid I promise lol, I'm a 26 yr old college student and have even worked tech support before, but i admit I'm not at all familiar with the Apple software, system or much beyond the basics...I just spent nearly 200 on this thing, and it IS a great toy, I just want to be able to fully use it!
Oh also, ive heard two things, that you DONT need a "sensor" seperate thing for the Nike app with the Touch, and that yes you DO...any idea? If i DO need to BUY something else I do not want it and can I remove it to free up space??
thanks a bunch eagerly awaiting any answers...might have to call Apple today about the Itunes payment registration thing...

Welcome to the discussions,
WHY does it claim to be 8G but my capacity now says its just 6.83
The size of you HD is calculated binary when it comes to use it, instead of decimal when companies want to advertise there products. 1 KB=1024Byte instead of 1000KB as advertised by the manufacturer. In your case this reduces the actual available space by the factor of 0.93 or approx. 7,4GB.
If you have an "other" section in your color bar showing the different types of data on your ipod, which is bigger than 500MB, this could be a sign of corrupt data caused by a sync that did not complete or copied damaged data. A restore will reduce the size to normal again.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you restore your ipod, iTunes will install the newest firmware first and then add back your data and settings from your last backup if you choose to "restore from backup". Every backup is replaced by the following one, so make sure to include this folder in your backup routine in case you'll have to go back.
You can check the location and size of the backup folder for your ipod here:
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
copied from: About backups http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Sorry, I can't answer your payment question, I have never used your kind of setup, maybe you can find something useful here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

New iPod work with PB G4 400 Titanium?

I assume my PB is not USB 2.0 (I can't see how to tell), but that just means the new iPod will sync slower, right? It will work, just slower? Planning to buy one of the video iPods and want to ensure it will work.
Thanks.

The System Requirements for the iPod Nano include a "built-in USB 2.0 port." I see that requirement has been dropped with the iPod Video, and replaced with "built-in USB port (USB 2.0 recommended)." Whether the iPodV will work with a USB 2.0 adapter card, I don't know, but no Tibook has USB 2.0 built in, so an adapter card is the only way you'll get it. It would be worth a try, because data transfer via USB 1.1 is at least 30 times slower than through USB 2.0, and even if the iPod can't use the adapter card, other USB 2.0 peripherals like hard drives and flash drives will.

Older Powerbook compatibility with New iPod?

I have an older version of the G4 powerbook and I would like to get an iPod, but it doesn't appear that I can use the two together because my computer does not have USB 2.0. It does however have Firewire. Is there a built in Firewire port on the newest version of the IPod or are these two pieces of equipment just incompatible? Thanks in advance.

Todd, Welcome to the discussion area!
You just need the Firewire adapter cable (M9127G/A). The new iPod works just fine with Firewire.

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.

Student deal: macbook pro with new ipod touch facetime????

Hi I see that the new ipod touch with facetime is on the apple web page.
On education store, it says I can buy any apod and mac and apple will refund 219 CAD (Canadian store).
Is this deal works for the new ipod touch? I don't need mac immidiately but I can buy it if the new touch is free. From terms, it says any ipod but rebate form is old, and does not include new models.
PS: I can buy the new ipod touch and mac book but if I buy mac first they redirect me to old ipod page. Crap.
Any one knows?

Hi
I am refering to these pages:
Click on Learn more about iPod touch on the following page. Tou will see the new touch page. I see that they write "qualifying ipod" in rebate form.
*Buy a qualifying Mac and iPod with Apple education pricing from May 25, 2010, through September 7, 2010, and receive a mail-in rebate up to $219. 8GB iPod touch is second generation.
That is bad that they introduce this during the promotion and doesn't give it to current students. Actually they give any ipod except these new ones.
I would buy the mac book but I guess I will wait another year.

TS1484 Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

Will a Nike + IPod sport kit sensor work with a 4s IPhone?

I dont doubt your claim of 55-75 hours of usage
solely on running since january. Even though you say
that it has died prematurely with the range of hours
you give since the time you purchased the sensor.
I must ask if you were concious of turning off
the sensor when it was not in usage. You know
hitting that little button on the sensor itself to
deactivate the battery. If your answer is no that you
never remembered to turn off this sensor then. Your
idea that it has died prematurely is bad. Because
without physically turning off the sensor itself
(thats the portion in the sole of the shoe) then it
has been on 24/7 since you purchased it in january.
Now if you have remembered to turn off the sensor
after each run then it might have died prematurely.
IF thats the case I would contact apple or the place
from which you purchased it and ask for some help
regarding the sensor.
GFF:)
Umm, no: From the FAQ
"The sensor’s battery has a life of more than 1000 active hours. The sensor has a sophisticated built-in power management system which means that the sensor really only consumes power when active (that is, when it senses motion)."
Mine is now showing the low battery indicator at 277 hours. I'm not the only one with premature battery failure.

There are more threads (just search on "sensor battery").
This should be covered by the warranty. Can someone from Apple please respond to this thread?

New laptop = problems with itunes/ipod nano 3g

I bought a new computer and am having some issues with my ipod/itunes. In itunes, all songs that weren't downloaded from the itunes store have an exclamation point next to them and I get a message saying the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. I did copy my personal music from my old computer via flash drive and the itunes preferences are set properly to search in the location in which they are saved. How can I get itunes to locate the file itself without doing it manually? Also, I cannot get my iPod to sync with my new computer iTunes - I did authorize my new computer. It shows my ipod on itunes, but will not sync my new music and playlists. How can I fix that as well?

Personally I am very happy with my new iPod Nano. It works great with Nike Plus and I love the video and some of the cool features like stopwatch and more. I have an earlier iPod Nano and I was hesitant to buy the new one but I am so glad I did. I don't have any problems uploading data.
