New nano workout ends when paused

I have a new nano G7 and use it with Nike Plus... When you pause the nano and don't un-pause within 30 seconds or so - it ends your workout... WHY!!! if I need to pause for more than 30 seconds that is my choice.. Can someone please provide a fix or explain how I can overcome this without having to pause/ unpause every 20 seconds so it doesn't stop my workout....

Hello Rachel_67,
Using this:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/nike_plus_ipod_user_guide.pdf
I found on page 17 shows the steps to pause, and resume the workout,  but if it ends your work out after 30 seconds of pause there may be an issue with the ipod or Apple is unaware of the software issue.
If you have one I would do this:
apple.com/retail and set an reservation to have someone walk you through this.
or if not, use this:
Apple - Support - iPod Troubleshooting Assistant
If the issue persists after that you may want to call 1800 MY APPLE.
As a side note if does not get fixed, you can go to apple.com/feedback for a feature request.
Hope this helps.

  • New Nano (8GB) freezes when trying to play music. Nike+ IPod at fault?

    This is the second nano I've received, the original did the same thing. The nano works fine when I first play it, but after I upgrade to the latest ipod firmware and try using my Nike ipod thingie, I have problems with it freezing up. I take it to work (where I'm outside & don't have a computer) (no Nike connector) & try selecting something, but as soon as I try playing Music or a Podcast playlist, it freezes with the Play arrow button & "Now Playing" in the top menu & the light on. No button combination or toggling the switch will unfreeze it. I have to wait until after the battery has worn out & I get home to connect it to my computer to get it back to normal.
    Any ideas what the problem is?

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • New Nano continually restarts when connected to XP

    I bought my g/f a new 8gb nano for her birthday. It connects to my vista comp with no problems, and my 30gb ipod video connects to her XP comp with no problems, but when i connect her nano to her XP comp, it cycles through saying "connected" and "ok to disconnect". When saying "ok to disconnect" the bar never seems to fill completely before saying "connected" again. The comp says "there was a problem installing this hardware" and in My Computer, a removable disk appears and disappears continually. Nano has the latest software installed.
    Can anyone please advise on how to fix this?
    Message was edited by: Asriel

    That's a switch: most people have trouble with Vista and not XP. It's possible she formatted the iPod on the Vista machine in some way that's NOT compatible with the XP machine. If you REALLY want it to work on the XP machine, start over and try formatting/restoring on THAT machine. Good luck.

  • Recently Played and Added Not synching on new Nano 8gb

    I am using iTunes 7 with a new nano 8gb. When I review my recently played and added smartlists in iTunes tey are correct, but after synching my nano the nano show some other very old list of songs. Any ideas?
    I have trying both automatic and manula synchs

    Did you try recreating the library. Removing the songs won't really help as you have already restored.
    If you have already recreated the iTunes library file...
    Part 1:
    1. Navigate to \iPod_Control\iTunes on the iPod in Windows Explorer. You may have to turn on Show Hidden Files and folders. To do this, go to Tools-->Folder Options, click the view tab, click the bubble to show hidden files and folders, click Apply, and click OK. Look for the presence there of a file named iEKInfo. Is it there? If so, make a copy of this onto your computer somewhere. While there, make a copy of iTunesDB also. Don't delete these copies.
    2. Create a new, administrator user in Windows . (Start-->control panel-->user accounts-->create a new account)
    3. Log out of the current user.
    4. Log into the new user.
    5. Restore the iPod as documented in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983.
    6. Open iTunes.
    7. Set the Music sync preference in iTunes for the iPod to Manual mode.
    8. Download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store.
    9. Verify that the song plays in iTunes.
    10. Drag only this song to the iPod.
    11. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
    12. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
    Does the song play?
    If the iPod is able to play this song, follow these steps:
    Part 2:
    1. Log out of the new user.
    2. Log back into the original (affected) user.
    3. Reconnect the iPod to the computer.
    4. Drag some of the older purchased content (that would not play before) to the iPod.
    5. Eject the iPod from iTunes.
    6. Disconnect the iPod from the computer.
    Does the affected content play?
    Is the iPod still having the same issue? Try these possible solutions:
    Part 3:
    * Delete the SC Info.sidb file as documented in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302386.
    * If the issue persists, recreate the iTunes Music Library as described in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93313.
    Does the music play?
    Please post back if this works or not.

  • When using my new nano 7 with nike , my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run for over 30 minutes.It cancels/deletes my run/workout when the music stops.This has happened several times.How can I keep this from happening

    When using my new nano 7 with nike+, my music stops after the 30 minute voice alert even though I have set my run/workout for over 30 minutes.  It also cancels/deletes that run/workout.  This has happened several times.  How can I keep this from happening?

    If possible I would arrange for a good service center to go over it. Hopefully they have a variety of parts in stock. They can test and verify all is working. The previous attempts are based on guesses by the person at the other end of the phone without diagnostic tests to assess the culprit. It is extremely unlikely for a webcam to fail & for it & a Mic to fail together should be an indicator to a good technician it is something else. EG Motherboard
    Take it to a servicing dealer and wait for it.

  • Does the new Nano pause when headphones unplugged

    The mini does this. Does the new Nano? What about other models?

    Yes, the new nano does pause when the headphones are pulled out. I just loaded up my green 4GB.

  • Problems using new nano during workouts

    I bought my new nano for more capacity than my 1st gen, which still works fine. But the touch screen does not work as well for me as the clickwheel did. The best location for the nano is clipped to my waistband, and I can operate the clickwheel by feel, to change volume or skip or repeat selections, which I do frequently during long workouts. But the touchscreen goes to sleep, and in any case I can't find the controls without taking off the new nano and looking at the screen. Sweaty clothes rubbing over it also actuate the touchscreen menus sometimes. So I've given up on using it and have gone back to using my old nano. Too bad, Apple presents the new nano as a workout tool but it certainly doesn't work that way for me. I'll try to figure out some way to get rid of it and get a slightly older refurb-ed nano with a clickwheel.

    I'm sitting at my computer right now with my 6th Generation Nano (Product Red) and my Ultimate Ears headphones and that adapter. I'm able to skip to the next song, return to the start of that song, pause, hear voiceover, raise the volume, lower the volume, ...Works like a champ and I've never had a problem with sweat getting into the switches when I used it with my 3rd Generation Shuffle OR with my 6th Generation Nano.
    I do suggest you use Google and find a plastic docking plug for the Nano when you use it while working out. It says that about the adapter because that is what it was developed for. It will work just fine with the Etymotic.

    I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue.  On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
    With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting.  It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually.  Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
    This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast.  I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes.  It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds.  This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
    Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

    Dude or hot-spur,
    Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
    Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
    Thank you again

  • What does the new Nano do at the end of a podcast?

    My wife has a 1G Nano that she listens to podcasts on while she runs. It has the annoying behavior of stopping playback when a podcast finishes, instead of going on to the next podcast. Some of her podcasts are only 5 minutes long, so this means she has to fiddle with it every 5 minutes or so to get the next podcast playing.
    Can someone with a new Nano please tell me what happens if you have several episodes of a podcast on it and you start playback? Does it still stop after the end of each episode or does it go onto the next one? Does it do the same if it's in shuffle mode?
    We tried to work around it by creating a smart playlist containing only podcasts, but I think this model has something wrong with it. Sometimes podcasts don't show up in the playlist, and sometimes podcasts show up in the playlist but not in the Podcast menu, and the syncing gets all messed up.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff,
    First I am not sure if your wife has multiple episodes of the same podcast she wants to listen to or if she has many short individual podcasts. Please note that below my suggestions differ depending upon which situation fits her problem.
    I do not have a 1G Nano but I do have an older iPod Mini which I suspect behaves in the same way as your wife's older Nano. I, too, was frustrated in having podcasts play one at a time. I have a couple of podcasts that have daily episodes and each of those episodes used to stop at the end and I had to select the next one to listen to it. This was frustrating because I usually build up a week's worth before getting around to listening to them. Then, by accident I stumbled upon a solution for the Mini. The podcasts also showed up under albums (and artists too) so I set my iPod to play the complete album, selected the podcast I wanted to listen to and was able to listen to all the episodes in that particular podcast. On rare occasion the order of the episodes might get out of chronological order.
    If your wife has multiple individual podcasts then she might want to try setting up a playlist with all the individual podcasts she wants to listen to and go with that. Experiment with the playlist idea and the shuffling options of the iPod to get multiple podcasts to play uninterrupted.
    I must admit that since I got the Touch for my birthday this winter I don't use the mini as much and am a bit rusty with all the settings of that iPod. My Touch will play through all unlistened to episodes of a particular podcast but will still stop at the end of each different podcast. I have not had the need to do anything drastic on the Touch since most of my individual podcasts are 1 to 2 hours long which is ample time for me to get in a good, long walk!
    Hope this helps you and your wife with her 1G Nano.

  • New nano freezes after Nike workout, loses workout data

    My new nano has not frozen for a third time after giving me my workout summary at the end. It doesn't save my data and thus is a complete waste. I will be exchanging it for a new one, but I hope this is fixed otherwise it will be returned.

    Mine has also continued to have this problem intermittently. It appears to be random. Sometimes I finish my run, and all is fine with both the ipod and the uploading to nike's website. Other times the nano resets itself as soon as I hit menu after viewing my completed workout's summary.
    I was contacted by someone from Apple, so they appear to be trying to fix the situation. It's gotta be hardware-related as it doesn't necessarily happen every time.
    Very annoying though. I could go for a runs on my own without spending the extra money on the receiver/sensor. The whole point of it is being able to record and monitor your progress IMO.

    Your i-device was not designed to be a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining your media on a computer which is itself backed up. Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer. If the computer has nothing on it, the device is set to match the computer's content -- nothing.The exception is purchased content.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will probably have to use third party commercial software unless you have an older model iPod. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
