Nike+, Polar and Nano 6th Gen - Heart rate zone?

Can someone tell me if the heart rate zone feature will provide audible alerts when I reach my target heartrate? Additionally does it tell you if you go above or below the range? If not, is there a known way of doing with with a Nano or IPhone?
I'd like to ideally know I am maintaining my ideal heartrate while running, and I'm hoping this feature does this for me. I'm trying to find out before I spend the money on the special Polar heartrate strap.
*Also, I notice you need the Nike+ receiver in the Nano, but supposedly not the sensor. Will I still collect all my workout data in addition to the heartrate info with the sensor on the sneaker? (I know the 6th gen Nano has the built in accelerometer, I just wasn't sure if using the receiver makes the Nano think it needs the sensor too)
Thanks!!

I had the same problem. Nothing but a complete reset fixed it. After that, no problems.
Take the battery out of the HR monitor for a 30 sec or so to reset it. Then do a wipe and reset of your Nano - back it up, reset to factory defaults, then re-sync. The HR montor shoul dbe discoverabel. Also, make sure your Nano firmware is up to date.

Nike+ on my Nano 6th gen won't calibrate.

No matter how many times I calibrate the Nano after my run, it ignores it. Ends up with a distance way further than I actually ran every time. Any tips or tricks for better accuracy?

I noticed that entering correct height and weight helped for me. Also, using on my waist seemed to give best results.

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
That's where I would begin, too, with
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
Thanks

I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it. MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs...
Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

TS1410 My iTunes will not recognize my iPod Nano 6th gen.   It has worked in the past and it works with my iPod 4th gen. I've gone through the troubleshooting steps as suggested, but still -- nothing. Now, what??

iTunes will not recognize my Nano 6th gen. as a device. It has been recognized in the past and iTunes does recognize my Nano 4th gen. The device connects to the Mac and charges allright. All of the functions on the Nano work but want to modify my music, I'm tired of the same songs etc.

I'm not sure if it charged when I hooked it up to my roommate's computer, but it definately didn't register either. If I put it on the dock it plays so the port is fine, but that still doesn't help me sync it to my computer.

My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

Hello Singhindia,
It sounds like you restored your iPod Nano when iTunes prompted you and it appears to sync. When you disconnect it and look at the content, the songs arent there, and when you plug it back into iTunes you get the same message again. I would recommend these troubleshooting sections from the following article to help isolate the issue to hardware or software:
iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218
Verify that iTunes is installed and updated
Restart the computer
Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
Verify the device's USB connection
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
Remove and reinstall iTunes
If the issue continues, gathering iPod Diagnostics may be helpful for you or for support personnel in identifying the issue.
Additional Information
Certain phone connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, and Sony may also cause this issue. If you have such software on your computer:
Uninstall your Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, or Sony phone connectivity software and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this.
Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista and Windows 7).
After reinstalling iTunes, test the iPod nano.
If you still need your phone connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your iPod nano to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
While the error message is different than you are seeing, the troubleshooting is relevant for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Is your iPod configured to sync photos? If so, try disabling the syncing of photos and see if the error message goes away.
Anything change with your iTunes library since the last time the Nano was able to successfully sync?

How to Clean and Polish iPod Nano 6th Gen?

Hey guys,
I just got a good deal off eBay of a used iPod Nano 6th Gen in the mail today, but it seems quite dirty. Their is much dust and gunk under the clip, the buttons and screens have many smudges, and the the 30-pin connector port and headphone jack are a little dirty on the inside, kinda moldy in too.
Does any one know how to properly clean the ports, and the rest of the iPod before I use it? Thanks.

Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?
