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.

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!

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.

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 ?
Matt

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
http://store.nike.com/?country=US&langlocale=enUS&l=shop,pdp,ctr-inline/cid-1/pid-161925
I can not find the most recent model online buy I have seen it for sale in the main nike store and in the regent street apple store in the uk

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.

Just purchased Nike + Ipod Sport Kit - Can't get it to work. Help!!!

Thanks

I found it in the Settings, way at the bottom of the list of options. Turn it to on, and the icon appears.

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.

It should allow you to access the internet, read mail, etc.

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
