Nike+ Sensor and iPhone question

Hello all,
I'm somewhat confused about this Nike+ Sensor and how/why it interacts with the Nike+ app. I'm really thinking about getting one of these today but I want to make sure it does what I think it does.
I play indoor football and I want to know how far I run when I play. Can I put the Nike+ sensor in my shoe, play football, plug the sensor into my iPhone after football and upload the info to my iPhone? Or would I need to carry my iPhone about for the time that I'm playing football as well?
Thanks

  • Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

    I have:
    Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
    works fine, linking is easy, but....
    Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
    To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
    Anyone have any suggestions ?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

  • Nike Sensor and Nano .

    I am using the Nike Sensor and am now getting the "you have completed another 500 miles" message  on my Ipod almost daily.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  I have done a soft reset but that has not fixed it.

    The recent iPod touch and iPhone models have the "receiver" built-in, but not iPod nano.  The "sensor" is the part that goes in (or on) your shoe.
    You need this kit (with receiver and sensor)
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA365LL/F/Nike-iPod-Sport-Kit
    When you insert the receiver into the nano's dock connector, the new functionality should become accessible on the screen.  I don't have the 6G nano, but that's how it work with my 5G nano.
    The sensor that goes in (or on) your shoe is an accelerometer.  It tracks movement and speed of your foot, which is used to calculate distance and pace (pretty accurately), and it also tracks total time.  You can pause and resume your run.  You can get an audio (spoken) status of current time, pace, and distance, at any time during the run, and at the end.  You can use any completed run to better "calibrate" its measurement of distance and pace.
    I wear New Balance, so my sensor goes in a little pouch that straps on the shoe lace.

  • Can you use nike+  sensor with iPhone 5

    can you use nike+ sensor with iPhone 5. like the device you place in your shoe. Can it be connected to your phone.

    However, you don't need the sensor if you use the Nike+ Running app. It uses the phone's built in accelerometer.

  • Buying Nike+ Sensor and informations.

    I have a Ipod touch 2g and im interested in buying the Nike+ Sensor. There are a few questions i would like to ask. Firstly, is there any warranty for the Nike+ Sensor? Secondly, can i place the sensor in a pouch on my shoe or do i have to place it inside my shoe? Thirdly, i have heard from people saying that the sensor cannot be detected by the Ipod touch, what can i do if this happen? Thank you in advance.

    I started using the Nike plus kit with my Nano a couple years ago and loved it, so I was so thrilled that the 2nd generation Touch had the receiver already installed. I tried synching it to my sensor, and when it wouldn't synch, I assumed the sensor was bad. I just received the new sensor the other day, tried to synch it, and again, it wouldn't synch. I've been searching this topic to find out if Apple is going to address this issue (which is clearly happening to many people based on the amount of posts on this forum), and I haven't yet found anything from them. I wouldn't bother with the expense of the Nike kit until they work this major bug out.
    But in response to your question about where you can put the sensor, real runners know that Nike shoes just don't cut it. I run only in Asics and have for a long time. When I first bought my Nike kit, I purchased a little pouch that attached securely to my shoe (the laces go through it to hold it stable), and I never had any issue with calibration. As long as the sensor is held in place on the shoe, you should have no issues with mileage count. They sell different pouches on Amazon and most of them aren't more than $10.

  • HT1602 Can I use Nike+ sensor and a bluetooth headset simultanously???

    I am planning buy a Ipod Nano for running. And I want to use a Nike+ shoe sensor and a bluetooth headset.
    Can I use them at the same time? Or bluetooth only accepts one connection at a time?

    No
    Get a bluetooth headset.

  • Time Capsule and iPhone question

    I recently replaced my Airport Extreme (802.1b/g) with a Time Capsule and went through the standard installation and setup procedure - no problems. I assumed that the TC was operating in 802.11N mode - there did not seem to be an option to set during the installation process. I must admit that I did not notice a marked improvement in my network speed but assumed all was well. Now some weeks lated I bought an iPhone - it immediately connected to my network. I did not even think about the N vs b/g issue. Now reading this forum I noticed that iPhones are b/g so does this mean my network automatically "downgraded" from N to b/g or has it always been running in b/g. Note I before I installed my T/C I turned-off my old AE.
    I cannot figure out how to determine what mode my network / TC is running in. Can I easily swap back and forth when I need to have my iPhone connected.
    I have read the thread on this forum on how to have 2 bridged networks - one with N and one with b/g (might be a good way to put my old AE and Airport Express to some use) - since I'm no network wizzard I like to keep things simple - by doing so I seem to avoid many of the issues I read about on the forum
    Thanks for any advice.

    Hi Pat, I have an iPhone too and I'm quite disappointed that my nice new N router will be running at much lower speeds. When I'm at home I use both my MBP and my phone and switching back and forth doesnt sound appealing.
    Anyway, to answer your question, open up the Airport Utility and click Manual Setup at bottom right. Then click on Wireless from the 4 tabs you'll see and choose the appropriate setting from the Radio Mode drop down menu.
    Hope this helps!

  • Antiglare cover and iphone question

    Hi, I just recently bought an iphone as long as the anti glare cover. I was wondering for those of you that use it, does it seem like the image is not as clear? Also is it weird if on screens with white backgrounds, like the ipod mode, i see horizontal lines ? Also one more question, for some reason if I press the upper right corner of my iphone I can hear a small squeak, is that normal? Thanks!

    I would imagine since it shades the screen.

    This should not occur
    Also one more question, for some reason if I press the upper right corner of my iphone I can hear a small squeak, is that normal? Thanks!
    No it is not normal. With the lines and the squeak I would take it in to get looked at where you bought it.

  • Can't calibrate Nike+ sensor with iPhone 4

    I can't perform Walk on Run calibration.
    It says that I have to complete a workout and then press "Calibrate" button. I tried different workouts but I'm not getting this button anywhere.

    I believe VLC was able to do this, but it was pulled from the app store by the developer. I am not aware of any apps that can handle this format on an iPhone. Largely because most people would consider it obsolete given the capabilities of modern smartphones.

  • Nike + Sensor and battery

    How will I know when the battery is dead? My iPod cannot connect and think it might be the battery. This kit was used with a 2nd gen iPod and now I'm trying to link it up with my 3rd gen. I've already pressed the button on the bottom of the sensor to try to wake it up. Do I have to buy a new kit?

  • YouTube account and iPhone question

    I have several playlists of videos saved on my YouTube account that I have set up on my pc at home. I can log into YouTube at home and my video playlists are saved, which is great. I tried logging into my YouTube account on my 3gs to access those videos, but they are not saved in my account. I figured that a YouTube account could be accessed anywhere, so what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    Not sure, but note that not all YouTube videos are available on the iPhone. When you access YouTube on your computer, you are viewing Flash video. Since the iPhone doesn't support Flash, the YouTube app accesses a subset of YouTube videos that have been re-coded as h.264 for the iPhone.
    Try one of the 'Most Viewed' videos accessed from the iPhone. Add that to your playlist _on the computer_ and see if it shows up on the phone.

  • HT2729 I have iTunes and iPod and iPhone question

    I just downloaded and installed new iTunes on my tablet and attempted to sync my ipod songs to itunes.  itunes is telling me this will empty my ipod. assuming i go ahead and sync from ipod to itune, will i be able to snyc my songs back into ipod and to my iphone ??

    No.
    The Sync with this new iTunes Library will remove the current content of your iPod and put onto the iPod only what is already in the Library. It will not transfer music from the iPod to iTunes.
    For music that you have purchased from the iTunes Store, sign into your account and access those songs through the Store. For music from other sources, such as your CDs, you neeed to transfer the music from the old computer into the new Library before connecting th iPod to it.
    I'm curious, what tablet do you have that you have downloaded iTunes onto?

  • HT4236 Auto Sync ipod and iphone question

    I have a iphone and my son has ipod and when ever he gets a new ap it goes to my phone hes 7 and so its alot of crazy things I googled to see how to stop and I came across to go to itunes under edit go tp preferences and then device and check don't allow auto sync between iphone ipod ipad but will that effect my icloud and my sync to itunes when we connect to computer. Thank you for your time

    Sounds like you are sharing the same Apple ID for the iTunes Store.
    If so, on your iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads. Turn all off on your iPhone. If your son doesn't want to receive any of your downloads done direct with your iPhone, he needs to do the same on his iPod Touch.
    iTunes on your computer includes the same but there is an option under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to not automatically install new apps in iTunes on your iPhone when syncing.

  • Nike+ Sensor won't connect to my iPhone 3GS (3G S)

    Hi Guys,
    I've got a 16gb 3GS and have just bought a new Nike+ sensor from ebay (model A1193).
    When I follow the instructions to link it i hear "Walk around to activate your sensor" and see the pulsing blue searching logo, but nothing happens.
    I've tried resetting my network settings, rebooting my phone, doing a hard reset (sleep+home button) but nothing seems to work.
    I've also put the sensor to sleep (by holding the button in for 3 seconds) then waking it up (by pressing the button once.)
    Any Ideas?

    I had the same problem with my sensor and iphone 3gs. It would work for one workout then not for the next. I called Apple and they told me to go into settings, turn off Nike + then back out of settings, then immediatly go back into settings and turn on Nike+ and link sensor with phone. I did this and it worked but then the next day it was off again on again. I finally figured out the problem, which may or may not be your problem. I was putting my iphone onto airplane mode when working out to save battery life, which was told to do in a CNET article on saving iphone battery life. Well I figured that in airplane mode, all ports are turned off, phone, bluetooth, wi-fi and of course the Nike+ sensor. Since I stopped turning on airport mode it has worked every time. Don't know if either of these will work but it worked for me.

  • Using iPod Nano with two Nike+ sensors

    Hi,
    I have searched your site but cannot find any information regarding my query. I bought an Nike+ sensor and pick-up unit for our iPod nano 3rdG for my wife to use. We have one iPod, one PC and one iTunes account. This has worked great and now I want to start running. My question is if I buy another sensor and pick-up unit will the iPod store the information separately? Will iTunes be able to upload the date to a different Nike+ account? We would not be able to run together I know that. Whenever I run I'll use my sensor and pick-up unit and whenever my wife runs she will use hers. Will this be possible. Thanks

    I have a ITouch and I run iTunes on a Mac.
    My iTunes keeps track of two different sensors.
    I go to my settings "Nike + iPod" menu and turn on and off, them I press "sensor" and link to whatever sensor I am using.
    Now when I got to iTunes "Nike + iPod" it shows "sensor 1" and "sensor 2" it also allows me to edit the name of the sensors.
    My question is, I want to delete one of the sensors and I don't know how
