New nano's & Polar Wearlink+

Will the new nano's still be compatible with the polar wearlink+ chest strap that's being sold through the Apple online Store? I just bought a new strap and am itching to get a new nano (so I don't have to worry about losing the dongle any longer ;-) but it'd suck to spend 140 Euro only to find out it won't talk to my new strap ...
As a side note - do any current Wearlink+ users know if the strap is compatible with other Polar gear? I tried getting a straight answer from Polar themselves but the reps I spoke to either didn't know or weren't sure.

If you need to load a special app, yu are probably out of luck.  You can't add apps to the new Nano.
If there's an Apple store near you, you could always take the chest strap there and try it out.
You could also call Apple Sales - they would be able to tell you.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Nano G6 needs  reveiver plug-in for wearing polar wearlink+nike+?

    Only what i want is to checking heart-rate while working out.
    If i buy a "Polar WearlinkNike" transmitter for checking heart rate when workout at gym.
    Do i also need to buy the receiver(of nike+ipod SportKit) to plug into the dock connector on iPod nano G6 or G5??
    PS.
    I don't want and it doesn't need the nike+apple wireless sensor(the red&white round-shape one) in my shoes. (i don't wear Nike at all)

    You do need to plug in the receiver in the 6G Nano iPod to use the Polar Wearlink+.
    I just bought the iPod Nano (6th G, touch nano) and I coupled the Polar HRM Wearlink + in the Nike+ iPod settings. It was actually a non brainer. Plug the receiver in, let the iPod link with the HRM, and done. Same with the sensor in my Nike+ shoe.
    Both of them work. I'm so glad to have this come together. The Polar Wearlink+ is cheaper then buying the whole Polar package (with watch etc). Of course, the iPod costs you also 159€, but then you can beam your workouts to the Nike+ website, which is very nice to follow your workouts. When you did the workout, what you did at the moment (run your longest, run the most calories etc).
    Now that I tested it just by walking around and have a little run for a few meters, I cannot wait to get it to work.

  • Ipod nano 7g and Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ Heart rate receiver

    Hello to everybody, I am struggling in finding information about the compability between Ipod nano 7g and Polar Wearlink+ Nike+ Heart rate receiver without using any additional receiver.
    Documentation posted on Apple, Nike and Polar websites only mention ipod nano 6g.
    Could you please shed some on this?
    Many thanks.
    Fred

    If it is compatible with Nike + it will work with the 7th Generation Nano.

  • Ipod 7th gen compatability probs with polar wearlink heart monitor

    My new ipod nano seems to link with my polar wearlink heart monitor, but does not dispay the heart rate. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for responding.  The HR monitor is new and does link to the Nano properly.  With further fiddling I have now worked out how to operate - I didn't realise that you need to commence a workout to get the HR reading displayed - I assumed it would do that automatically once recognised and linked.  All OK now, thanks again.

  • Nike+ and the polar wearlink

    So if I'm reading correctly, the polar wearlink will only work with the 5th generation nano and the 6th generation nano with the adaptor. I can't find anything written on the 4th generation Ipod touch. How is it possible that the new touch does not have this function or am I missing something

    I'm also wondering why it dows not work on a iPhone 3GS. The app does not see a heart monitor, but the instructions mention how to remove it from one.

  • Polar Wearlink+  Nike+  incompatible iPhone s4?

    Seriousely? The Wearlink+ Nike+ heartrate sensor belt is incompatible with the iPhone 4S?
    The iPhone 4S is probably the most evolved smartphone on the market and it can't deal with the Polar wearlink+ sensor? Seriousely? We have a state of the art GPS in it, we could have a heartrate monitor and have one of the most complete and modern training system but we should buy the iPod Nano 6th gen for that.
    You must be kidding me! You guys at Apple sometimes must be REALLY walking on your heads!!! That's probably a sign you become too big and start missing the small details that were once part of Apple's DNA.

  • TV (video) output from new nano looks very good!

    Just a comment for those who may be wondering how the video quality on the new iPod nano looks when output to a TV. I have one of the old iPod AV docks with the s-video port and the new nano seems to work fine with that combination (using a standard s-video cable between the dock and the TV). Thus far I'm really impressed with the video quality, I can't see a single problem, the color is good, the quality and sharpness is as good as I've seen from any iTunes Store content, and as far as I can tell the frame rate is fine (no stuttering, skipped frames, or problems with audio sync). I'm amazed that such high quality video can come from such a small device. If it continues to look this good (after viewing more content and after more testing) then I think Apple may have "hit one out of the park." This thing could turn out to be the most popular iPod yet (if you have any interested in video and still want a small device).

    I just found out that the video out (TV) on the new nano supports video playlists so you can create playlists for back-to-back display on the TV. Not even the AppleTV will do that (even though the latter has been a highly requested feature for the AppleTV since day one). In fact, if you can do without the on-TV menus you may find that the nano is a better video output device than is the AppleTV (that is, the menus system on the nano doesn't appear on the TV output).
    Also, I just competed a few hours of video playback to my big-screen TV from the nano and I'm still impressed. No video problems at all, looks very good considering the quality limitation from the content that is currently on the iTunes Store (limited to standard definition, no HD movies, HD TV, or HD music videos as yet).

  • Need help on how to help my sister register her new nano and add music to it on my computer. I have my on nano already on my computer registered and set up but she and I don't listen to the same music so how would I go about doing this?

    I'm trying to find out information on how to go about helping my sister to register her new nano and load on CD's and such. I have a nano and already know how to do this but she is from CA and we want to load it here on my computer. She will be going home in 2 weeks and wants to use it in the car for the ride home.We don't listen to the same kind of music so I don't want to use my library but do one of her own for her. Also she will want to add this library on to her computer at home. I'm 60 and my sister is 70 I have enough knowledge to do some things on the computer but am not real computer smart. My sister is just learning about everything but has no idea what to do with that knowledge. Can anyone give me and idea on how to do this that I can get a grasp of what needs to be done to do this? My nephew says it's easy but he's in Az and I'm here. He also helps people with computers so he is more knowledgeable than I am. Would appreciate any help on this. thx

  • I just bought a new Nano.  How do I transfer the songs from my Shuffle to the Nano and then give the Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

    I just bought a new Nano.  How do I tranfer the songs from my Shuffle to my husband so he can open an itunes account of his own?

    DaisyDoodle,
    The songs on your Shuffle should still be in your iTunes library.  That means you should just be able to connect your Nano to the same iTunes library and sync it just as you would with your Shuffle. There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, or iPhones you can sync to one computer, iTunes library, or account.
    As for preparing the Shuffle for your husband, just restore it via iTunes and then let him sync it to his own iTunes library or if its the same iTunes library, let him configure it to sync only his content.
    Here are instructions on how to restore the Shuffle if need be.

  • How can I sync my old music library in my new nano to the new library???

    CAN'T COMBINE MUSIC LIBRARIES: 
    Got a new 6th gen nano.  X-ferred my old music lib to new nano.  Gave my old nano to my hubs and he erased most of the music and added his own.(so, he has the same name for the old nano that I was using)  Now, when I try to add more music to my new nano, I get a message asking me if I want to erase all the music content and add the new stuff. Well, of course I do not want to do this as I have hundreds of songs in the old music library.  I also get a message saying that the old music lib is associated with a diff account name and I cannot have 2 music libs running on one iPod.  Can anyone tell me how I an get the two libs combined?  Do I need to back up the old music and add it to the new lib? Or, can I add the new music (only about 50 songs) to the old lib?  (the latter would be much easier, as it would take 10-12 CD's to store my old lib and much time burning the cd's. I naively thot that I could add music to the new nano under the same music lib as the old nano.  HELP!

  • My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot get access to. Is there a way I can still get access to my music via the cloud and use on my various Apple devices including a new nano that I have just purchased?

    My iTunes music is on an old laptop which I cannot access. What options do I have to play my music on the apple devices including a new Nano that I have just bought?

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.
