Nike + ipod calibrations

how come when i try to calibrate the walk count feature on 'nike + ipod' by walking around as it asks, it doesn't calibrate, no matter how long i walk around for. also, when i try to press a button on the remote feature, it doesn't seem to work. how do i calibrate both the walk counter and remote features? help appreciated!
(btw, i know that it probably isn't an issue with my ipod touch itself as i have exchanged my ipod at the apple store twice and both have the same problems).

How old is the sensor? The battery can die.
Did it ever work?
Does the iPod detect the sensor?

  • How to use nike+ipod on iphone 5s

    i am using iPhone 5s 16GB, i have installed Nike  iPod in it and it's asking me to calibrate the sensor, i don't know how to do that. and confirm me that should i need to buy any additional accessory to us Nike iPod????  please!!!!!

    There's a great pouch made by Nathan. It hold the sensor, then Velcros to your shoes similar to a race timer.
    I've done miles with it and never had a problem. It did take a couple of calibrations to get the distance accurate however.
    Here's a link:

  • Nike+ipod majorly messed up!! HELP!

    I recently tried to re-calibrate my nike+ipod to get more accurate readings on my pace. After I did this my readings were off the charts crazy. It was so off on time and mileage. I tried re-calibrating again but no go. It is saying I'm doing 13 minute miles when I'm doing 8. Also, I ran 7 miles mapped out by Google pedometer and it told me I did 4. I have no clue what to do, any ideas?

    It should work properly only if your laptop is plugged in. Apple does not recomend you charge it when your laptop is running off the battery. Plus not all usb ports are powered... so that could be it.

  • Nike+ iPod very inaccurate

    Hi,
    To day i was out on a 2 mile run but when I came back, my iPod told me I hade ran for just 0.5 miles.
    This is very annoying and I would like know (without spending more money) how can I improve the accuracy of my Nike+ sensor as clearly 0.5 miles is very inaccurate?
    Thanks.

    Hey dylanfromantrim,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are having an issue with the accuracy of the Nike + sensor. These two articles address the accuracy of the sensor.

    How accurately does the Nike + iPod system track my distance?
    The Nike + iPod system measures the distance traveled by most runners and walkers to over a 90 percent degree of accuracy, right out of the box. You can calibrate the system to your stride for increased accuracy.
    Nike + iPod: How to calibrate your Nike + iPod Sport Kit or Sensor
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1616
    The default calibration for Nike + iPod is quite accurate for most users. You can improve the accuracy by calibrating the Nike + iPod Sport Kit or Sensor to your natural running and walking style.
    Have a nice day,

  • Remote for Nike+ Ipod touch

    There is an option on the Nike+ Ipod settings for a remote, and I would not mind skipping the odd track without having to fumble around while running ...
    does anyone know who makes these remotes ?

    The Nike+ Amp Remote - its a watch made by nike that you connect to your touch NB: It only seems to work while the Nike application is running.
    I have used the watch on a ipod nano 3G (with sensor) and this works all the time irrespective of the application running

  • Nike +ipod playlists not playing complete playlist

    Is anyone having issues with using the Nike +ipod for specific playlists. I have my favorite playlist for running and it's skipping songs and I can't get to specific songs that I like. The first time I used it it worked and played all the songs...now I play it and it randomly skips songs and I can't go back to get the song. Any insite would be great.

    Myabe obvious, but do you have the Shuffle option turned on under the top-level Settings menu?

  • IPod nano Problem with Nike+iPod

    Yesterday, I just got a new 3G Black iPod nano 8 GB. Sooner today, while looking its features, I found out about Nike+iPod application. Since this is my first iPod, I had no idea what it was. It was asking for the receiver to be connected. I thought that the receiver was actually the USB Charger, so I inserted it. Now it's stuck on the screen asking for the receiver to be attached. I pressed any button I could and tried everything as well. Nothing happened.
    What should I do? I suppose that when it is discharched, it will be able to work again, but since it's not playing music, I suppose that the battery will last for pretty much time...
    HELP!
    Edit: Excuse me, wrong category...

    You will need to reset your Nano by holding down the center and menu buttons until the Apple appears on the screen.
    The Nike+ Sport kit is a device that attaches to the dock connector of your iPod and has a transmitter that goes in your shoe. Without that, the menu function on the Nano doesn't do much.

  • Ipod nano 6G. Where is Nike + iPod tab appears in the iTunes window?

    I read manual at page 39.
    Upload your steps or workout information to Nike+:
    1 Connect iPod nano to your computer and open iTunes.
    2 Click Send in the dialog that appears, and then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Nike+ account. Once you set up your account, a Nike + iPod tab appears in the iTunes window.
    3 Click the Nike + iPod tab, and then select “Automatically send workout data to Nike+” if it isn’t selected already.
    4 Click Apply.
    To view and share your information on the Nike website, click Visit Nike+ in the Nike + iPod pane when iPod nano is connected to your computer, or go to www.nikeplus.com and log in to your account.
    But, I dont watch this tab in my iTunes.  Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.1.1.4 64 bit.

    I install iTunes 10.7.0.21 at another computer and I watch tab Nike+iPod.
    Is iTunes 12.1.1.4 not compatible with ipod nano 6G ?

  • Nike+ ipod not working since upgrading to ios5

    I used to link my phone to the Matrix machines which are Nike+ iPod compliant. It used to be fine, I used to run, the runs were never displayed as historic data on the phone but when I synced my phone with iTunes it used to update the website. This worked wheter I used the treadmill/ cycling machine etc.
    Since upgrading to iOS5, nothing has synced with the Nike website. After my run a message comes up saying "Workout Completed. You can send your workouts to the Nke+ website in Settings". Am not sure why or how to get this working again.
    Any help would be appriciated.

    Sorry ignore this. I just went into Settings, went to the Nike+iPod section then at the botom there was an option to send workouts. I had pressed this before but it didn't work. It did today.
    Difference today is that I'm trying from home with WiFi. Who knows, just glad its working!

  • My iPod touch Nike ipod sensor is not working. Please help.

    My iPod touch Nike ipod sensor is not working. Please help. I even walked around when it asked me to. Also I have latest version of iOS. PLease help

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • Latest Run doesn't show in Nike + iPod menu, won't sync, Potential Fix

    I hope this hasn't been discussed elsewhere, but I found a solution to a frequent problem I was having.
    10.4.7, iTunes 6.0.5, iPod Nano Software 1.2
    PROBLEM: After completing a workout, attempting to upload it to the nikeplus.com website doesn't work at all. Checking Preferences>iPod>Nike + iPod does not show a "latest workout". Trying the "re-sync" tricks don't work.
    WHAT CAUSES THE PROBLEM: From what I have found, if you listen to a playlist that has an ampersand (&) in the playlist title, the workout won't be synced to the Nike Plus website.
    I had to go in and edit the XML file and remove the ampersand, move the xml file back to the "Latest Workout" folder and sync again.
    I noticed this because opening a good workout in Safari displayed all workout data while the "bad" xml file showed an error on line 12. Line 12 consisted of the playlist I played during my workout ("Shane & Shane"). Changing all instances of this to "Shane and Shane" solved the issue.
    I hope this helps, and I hope this is fixed!

    Good detective work & thanks for sharing your discovery. However, if you search for "ampersand" you will see that several people (Solstice & others) have already posted about the problems caused by having an ampersand in a playlist title.
    I suppose we need a FAQ for the most common problems and fixes! It would save people from having to reinvent the wheel.

  • I have several questions: 1. When I connect my Iphone using Wi-Fi what can I then do? Why won't my Iphone recognize my home network run off of Airport Extreme, and the app Nike   Ipod sensor never activates.

    I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do? My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why? Lastly, what do about the app NIke + Ipod not working. The sensor does not activate even after walking a half mile.

    It might be best to ask only one question in each post otherwise you may never be able to mark them as solved.
    I went to Starbucks this morning and my Wi-Fi on my Verizon Iphone connected, what does this allow me to do?
    It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.
    My Wi-Fi does not recognize my home network from which I connect wirelessly to my MacBookPro and to my Apple TV using Airport Extreme router, why?
    Try restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). It may not be properly assigning an IP address to your iPhone.

  • What is the software/firmware version and Nike+ipod problem

    Mine says 1.0.1 in iTunes and says it is up to date. I tried to update the 1.2 version from June and it won't let me.
    I am having problems with the Nike+ipod receiver recognizing the sensor and the Apple help says to have version 1.2.
    Any thoughts. I've never used this before so I guess it is possible that the sensor is broken from the start.

    Hey, i though that i have the same problem but for 2nd gen ipods you dont need the 1.2 version but the 1.0.1 that come with the ipod instaled. When you put the transmiter it works ok
