Nike + Gym

Hi all, confused about something.
Reading the manual I got the impression that if I plugged in my iPod Touch Gen 2 to the cardio equip at the gym it will record the workout info. I don't have a sensor.
So I plugged it in and the Lifestyle cardio gear connected to the iPod, videos movies etc but no workout info showed up on the iPod.
So am I missing something or does this cardio gear only allow partial iPod transfer (music etc but no cardio data?)

This feature is so that you may access the media from your iPod directly from the treadmill. I don't think there is any workout data that is supposed to be transferred, however I could be wrong.

Why is the Nike apps different on the iTouch and iPod nano

Can someone explain why Apple put different apps on iTouch and iPod nano and call it only Nike +. There are obvious difference in the apps. I want the app that stores heart information...but the Nike + app on the iTouch only records distance ran. Why not make one app that does both?
what is the deal and can I load the Nike + app that comes on the nano on my iTouch 4gen?
Will the Nike + app for the iTouch be upgrade to work with the Polar heart band and Nike + Gym?

Yes and Yes.
When I navigate to Notification Center in Settings from an iPhone 4:
Notifications view - on
Today view - on
Today summary - on
Calendar day view - off
Reminders - on
Stocks - off
Tomorrow summary - off
Sort by Time
The only apps I don't include are third party and have nothing to do with weather.
Usually when I swipe down on the Today view it's only giving me the date.
Thanks for taking the time to help me!

Gym Equipment & Nike+

Hello,
I am currently using an iPhone 4 updates to the latest iOS 6 and iTunes 11 fully udpated on OS X Moutain Lion. The equipment at my Gym supports Nike+ and whenever I complete a workout I get a message on both my iPhone and the gym equipment saying that the workout data has been sucesfully saved on my iPhone and is ready to be uploaded to the Nike+ website. However I can't seem to get it onto the site. Nike+ is turned on in the settings menu and there is an option at the bottom of the menu to Submit the data to nike+ however when I press this it will take me to the Nike+ website, I will sign in and then nothing more will happen.
So next time I went to the gym I plugged my iPhone in again and completed the workouts, go the confirmation message etc. then came home and connected it to iTunes. i got no message asking if I want to automatically send workout data to Nike+ and I can't for the life of me see a Nike+ tab from within the Phone menu on itunes. I can't see any way to link my iPhone to my Nike+ account.
Has anybody previously got this working and can point out what i'm missing as I'd love to get this setup so I can compare workouts etc.
Thanks in advance.

Yours is the first post I have seen with that problem. Could be a compatibility problem. Have you contacted Matrix and Cybex??

Nike Plus with 3gs in gym

Wondering if anyone is experiencing this problem.....
I have Nike plus with iphone 3gs. It works flawlessly at home on the treadmill, as soon as I go to the gym, my phone will not find the sensor. This has been tested in 3 different gyms and every time I walk into a gym it doesn't work. It will work as soon as I get home. I can't imagine that gym equipment would be causing interference. Could it be other sensors in the gym interfering? I cant imagine that the case either because nothing is coming up when I google this problem. If the sensors interfere with each other in a gym environment there would be a ton of people posting this problem im sure.

Now I would 100% agree with that, but im refusing to allow myself to believe that. Theres gotta be a ton of these in the gym, wouldnt everyone be experiencing this problem? Not one single post anywhere that I can find where someone speaks of an issue with their 3gs in the gym. I find that odd. And I am in a place where probably 75% of Nike Plus Buyers are.... A Gym. Just find it nuts that there would be interference problems with other sensors, I would imagine that would have been thought of when developing the producr.

Nike + at the gym?

Hi!
I am thinking about buying the Nike + sensor. Has anyone used it at the gym? I usually do the elliptical machine - will it record the information the same as if I were running outside?
Thanks!

When I tried to use the Nike+ on an eliptical the data was not even close to accurate. I was told that since using an eliptical keeps your feet moving constantly it will not measure the distance correctly. The sensor measures the movement when your foot strikes the ground and stops. Hope this helps.

Nike+ ipod gym

Hi there
I have been using the nike+ for a few weeks now. Obviously when I walk, it records my workout, but when I am at the gym using the elliptical, which has a ipod/nike+ port, it doesnt send to my ipod (touch) nor to the nike+ site.
When I hook the ipod into the machine, the equipment recognizes it, and when I am finished, the equipment says it successfully logged it into my ipod, but when I check after my workout, it is not recorded into my history and its not uploaded onto nike+.
Now to the point. I have been reading up and down and far and wide across the web about this issue. Some say they are able to upload and etc without any problem and some say that they arn't able to upload, like myself.
Does the equipment at the gym need an internet connection to record the data or is it just transferred onto the ipod and then syched afterwards?
Either way, does anyone know why the equipment data does not transfer onto the ipod/nike+ website?
Would greatly appreciate comments, suggestions, anything.
Thank you!

It's a 4th generation. After doing some research, and contacting nike+, I found the data is not recorded if the gym software needs to be updated or there is a problem with the connection. The exclamation mark means there is a problem recognizing the ipod so data is not recorded. HTH if anyone else comes across the same issue.

Cannot sync Nike+ iPod wirelessly

Quick background:
- using an iPhone 4 running 4.2.1
- lost iTunes as it was removed from my work laptop
- use Nike+ iPod machines at the gym (think they are branded Matrix)
So here is the issue:
Before I used to connect my iPhone to my laptop, iTunes would open as would the Nike+ website which would show me my runs, timings, distance etc.
Now I don't have iTunes installed I wanted to continue to upload the information and track my runs. I did check and saw that it was possible to wirelessly do this - but no runs are displayed on my history.
Any help would be appriciated.

i recently got a new PC and i would like to sync my iphone on it. i have sen a few discussions and followed instructions and here is what i did and reached:
- i connected teh phone to the new PC
- i right clicked on teh phone on teh left menu of teh itunes as it appeared and i chose "backup" and backed up successfully
- i then right clicked again on teh same palce and chose "trasfer purchases" and that was done successfully too.
- i opened the outlook on my pc and created a new contact (this was advised to do in one of teh discussions in order to enable the contacts of the outlook and the phone to merge together)
- in the info tab, i chose to sync the contacts and teh notes (which is what i want to sync). as i clicked "sync" i was gived the option to "erase content of the phone" or "cance".
- i chose cancel. as i clicked "cancel" i was given other 2 choices, one of them is "merge the content of both outlook and phone" so i chose the merge option. and i clicked "sync"
what happened then is that the new contact that i had created on teh PC outlook, was successfully synced to teh phone. however, the contacts that i have on teh phone were not trasferred to outlook.
- i tired to reset sync history from itunes and try yo sync again, still no contacts were trasfered from the phone to the outlook.
i have an iphone 4 runing the latest ios 5.1.1
i have the latest itunes
i have windows 7 running office 2010
i need help to transfer the contacts from teh phone to the outlook and have them sync notmally together like it was with my old PC.

HT2293 Do i need nike+ sensor with iPod nano 6.generation?

Do i need nike+ sensor with iPod nano 6.generation?

According to this page: http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/features.html
Track your walk. Or your run.
The built-in accelerometer in iPod nano gives you real-time feedback on your workout, and you can upload data to the Nike+ website. There’s no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, and time. Just clip on iPod nano and go. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine to keep track of every workout. Back at your computer, upload all your data to the Nike+ website to create personal goals, check your progress, and challenge your friends to top your results.Learn more about Nike + iPod

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.

Iphone 4S authentication error on Nike Matrix Treadmill

My gym just recently added new Matrix Nike + Treadmills. My iphone 4S will not work with it. According to the gym, I am the only one who is having this problem! It recognizes the phone, but then says there is an authentification error and will not work! The Nike App and all my music will not work!! Any ideas how to fix this?

Alright, I'll take a mea culpa on this. I just recalled the one thing I didn't try which was establishing an application-specific password for the phone:

IPhone nike+ Sync - Data Could Not Be Validated By Server

Hi
I have been using my iPhone 3GS with cardio equipment at my local gym (TechnoGym Vario Series) which has built in docks that among other features, store workout data to the iPhone to sync with nike+. This had been working perfectly since I started using it last month.
In the past week I have been unable to sync any of my past 6 sessions to nike+ because I get the following error message:
"Your workout data could not be sent to nike.com because the data could not be validated by the server."
I understand how to access the xml files on the device and force a re-synchronisation by moving them to the "latest" folder, but the error message persists and none of my past 6 workout sessions will sync with nike+.
I have tried to sync the data on 2 different machines, one Windows 7 64-bit and the other Windows XP 32-bit but exactly the same error occurs. Both are running iTunes 9 which I suspect may have been what has broken this feature?
I really hope I can find a solution to this problem and would be grateful for any help. I am happy to provide any information required including copies of the xml files affected.
Many thanks.

Hi
I have had this response from nike plus and this cleared the error when uploading my runs.
Sometimes it happens that the iPod register the runs as already uploaded,after a not succesful uplaod.
Then the only way to upload them again is the following.
First you need to enable to view hidden files ( Control-panel >Folder Options>enable to view hidden files.)
1. Dock your iPod nano and allow iTunes to launch. Select your iPod from the device tree on the left-hand side of the screen in iTunes.
2. On the Summary page, make sure that "Enable disk use" is selected.
3. From your Start menu, navigate to Start > All Programs > Accessories > Windows Explorer. (Please note that this program is not the same as Internet Explorer, the web browser.)
4. In Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options and select the View tab. Make sure that "View hidden files and folders" is selected.
5. Find your iPod nano in the device list under "My Computer." It will appear as an external drive; mine, for example, is Drive E, and it's labeled "Your iPod." Yours should have a similar name. Click on it.
6. Navigate your iPod nano's folders as follows: iPod_Control > Device > Trainer > Workouts > Empeds. In the Empeds folder, you'll see one or more subfolders with alphanumeric filenames. These filenames correspond to your Nike+ sensors. Explore the folders until you locate the one containing the runs you'd like to manually re-upload. They'll probably be in the "synched" folder within your most recent sensor's folder.
!!!!!!!!!!!Important ,you need to delete the settings.plist file in the sensor folder which stores your login information to make sure for next time you will upload to the correct profile
7. Drag and drop each run folder you'd like to manually re-upload from "synched" to "latest."
8. Eject your iPod nano and close iTunes.
9. Dock your iPod nano and allow iTunes to launch. Your run data should upload
Hope this helps.

Wearlink+transmitter & nike+ipod sportkit???

Only what i want is to check heart-rate while working out.
If i buy a "Polar WearlinkNike" transmitter for checking heart rate when work-out at gym.
Do i also need to buy the receiver(of nike+ipod SportKit) to plug into the dock connector on my nanoG5??
....it confuses me
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)
If sensor's needed, does nanoG6 also needs it?
(-,- i really don't want it, it makes my nano heavier)

You will need to buy the sports kit because you need the receiver. (not shipped with the polar wearlink)
Your ipod will weight 4 gramms more
Nano G6 also needs it.
It works like a charm!

Nike plus running accuracy when phone in pocket

I read on Nike's website that you should hold the iPhone in hand when running.
Is this the case? Has anyone had any accuracy issues with running in pocket?
Is the accuracy good overall?

Now I would 100% agree with that, but im refusing to allow myself to believe that. Theres gotta be a ton of these in the gym, wouldnt everyone be experiencing this problem? Not one single post anywhere that I can find where someone speaks of an issue with their 3gs in the gym. I find that odd. And I am in a place where probably 75% of Nike Plus Buyers are.... A Gym.

Nike plus and ipod

this may be a stupid thing to ask but with the 2nd gen ipod touch do you need to put the receiver in the ipod to use it or is there something built in? also i have heard that the senvers that go in the shoe break easily. if it were to break is there any way to get it replaced for free, or do you have to pay a fee.

replacement nike shoe transmitters cost 19 dollars in the usa. these have a relatively short battery life-- i am told-- if you don't take them out of the shoe after each run. and the battery cannot be replaced by the consumer; you have to buy another transmitter for another nineteen bucks.
but if you own a touch you need only buy transmitters. you never needed to buy the 29 dollar kit that nano users need.
the other avalable nike accessory for workouts is a wristwatch that remotely controls your itouch 2gen in the gym or track so you don't fumble with it (or break it) while exercising. this costs 70 usd.

How to Remove Nike +Ipod Tab from Itunes, Iphone Summary folder

I stupidly plugged in my Iphone 3Gs to a new Matrix Nike bike at the gym. When I sync'd my Iphone to my desktop Imac today I noticed this new tab (Nike +Ipod) in my Iphone summary folder menu tabs.
The built-in Nike app that is listed in settings on my Iphone is off. I'm not interested in tracking my workouts or anything from Nike. Just want the folder tab gone from Itunes.
How do I delete this tab from Itunes on my computer?
No more plugging it at the gym for me. Thanks for the help. Alice

I too tested out the nike+ and want to remove the tab that has now appeared in my iTunes summary!
I turned off the the app on my iPhone and still it appears. Nothing in Prefs either.
