Nike sensor not logging distance

The last two times I've gone for a run (this morning and a couple of days ago) the sensor has activated with no problem and logged my time, but not my distance or how many calories I've burned. I thought maybe the runs would stay logged in my history, but after a few minutes they disappeared as well. I tried to sync to my Nike+ account to see if the distance/calories showed up online, but it doesn't even show up. However, it does show my last run on my iTunes.
I've seen that other people have had similar issues, but none of them seem to have been resolved. I have Nike+ shoes, so it's not a matter of the sensor moving around. I haven't used my Nike+ sensor since August of last year, so I don't know if that is the issue.

May be the sensor battery drained? Try this: Start a run with the sensor and as you run check if the pace updates. If it is not updating it could probably be low battery on the sensor.
I had similar issue and after replacing sensor it worked fine for me.

IPod or sensor not tracking distance correctly for Nike +

Everytime i run with my Nike +, it is exactly .04 off per lap. For instance, one lap equals .25 miles, in the sensor's case...one lap equals .21 miles. So, whenever i run 8 laps, which should total 2 miles, the sensor says i have only ran 1.73 miles, and thinks i should run one more lap to complete a 2 mile run. I have calibrated the sensor and also received a new sensor thru Apple, however, the results are exactly the same. Am i doing something wrong? Could it be the IPod and not the sensor? Again, i have done this numerous times to see if the mileage i am running is correct, on a track and on a treadmill, and everytime the sensor is off by .o4 per lap. Please help if you can!!!!! Thank you

I have the Nike running shoes, so i know the sensor is placed correctly. And i also am running on the correct track length inside the white line. The 2 tracks i've used and the treadmill can't be off all the time by .04 each lap. For every lap i run, i will push the center button to get an update, and each time it is off by .04. I guess it is correctly off, but i would just like to get credit for my 2 miles, instead of 1.73 miles. It adds up. Could my stride just be a problem with the technology? Does running at a faster pace decrease or increase the capability of the sensor? The other thing that is off, is my pace of the mile. Because the Nike + does not give me credit for a complete 2 miles, and basically thinks i have one more lap to run, the pace is off by about a minute a mile too.

Nike Sensor not calibrating...

Just got an itouch (3gen) and the Nike sensor. Read all the instructions and went out to do a walk. While on it I noticed that it wasn't showing any distance and no pace.
I do not have Nike shoes but bought the Bean Pod to place the sensor in. Could it have something to do with it? I was reading somewhere too that there could be a possibility that the sensor is not in it correctly. Which way does it need to face?
Any help would be grateful!!
Edit
I think I figured it out and it was that the sensor was not position correctly. For others maybe having this issue the red part needs to be pointed upward.

I am wondering if u can edit your runs on Nike + website because my iphonw wont always let me calibrate to the right distance after my workout - When I run it says I am running like a six minute mile and I am running a 12 minute mile - weird and disappointing

Ipod+nike+sensor not communicating

NikePlus sensor not communicating w/ Ipod nano
Compaq Windows 2000 Ipod Nano First gen

I'm having the same problem. My first sport kit worked for a couple of months then stopped being recognized by the ipod. I even went out and bought a 2nd sport kit that worked for about 30 days before it stopped working. I returned that one to the store and got another new one but the new one did not work at all so I just returned that one and got my money back. It's a shame because I really like the capability of keeping track of my runs automatically. I was over 650 miles since March, but now nothing. I'm very disappointed.

IPod 3G Nike+ Sensor not found..?

Hi,
I have iPod 3G nano with 4gb and 1.1.3 firmware. Mac OS is 10.5.5 with new itunes. I bought nike + kit on ebay, i think used. And my iPod could not find the sensor. It says to walk with it a bit, but still it does not work. Could it be that the sensor's battery is dead? How could I tell that?
Thank you in advance!

My guess is the sensor's battery is dead. Try taking it to an Apple store or elsewhere where iPod touches are sold and see if you can get the sensor to work with another iPod touch.

Nike+Ipod not picking up shoe sensor

Admittedly, I haven't used it in a while... but my Nike sensor isn't being picked up by my ipod (the menu appears, so I know it's not the ipod) Any ideas? Have tried pressing the little button at the back for one second but no change.

I can't calibrate my Nike+ sensor with my iPod 2G

I've just bought a nike+ sensor and there is a huge discrepancy in the distance given after my workouts (always is lower) with the real runned distance. I have tryed to calibrate several times (with 400m, 1Km, 1,2km) but it always say that I have not runned the distance of calibration and don't let me calibrate the sensor. Someone knows what I can do to calibrate my sensor?

Then you need to deauthorize another computer so you can authorize this one. If yo do not have the computers to deauthorize then yo can deauthorize all (you can only do that once every 12 months) and then authorize this one.
See:
iTunes Store: Authorize or deauthorize your Mac or PC
Or is this your problem:

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.

Nike+ sensor life

I recently bought a Nike + sensor to use with my iPod touch. After only 40 odd miles I have got the low battery message. Now I know that the sensor has a variable battery life but the 4 and a half hours I have logged on the sensor is someway off the 1000 hour prediction. When not running my shoes are kept at the back of the wardrobe so they don't get knocked.
Surely my battery can't be running out already? The only explanation I can think of is that it was very cold last time I went running.

I started using these kits with the 1st gen nano and have one that's lasted over 1200 miles. Out of four sensors only 1 has dropped out prematurely (about 8 months) and that unit still had a lot of miles. There may be some bad luck or some weather issues involved that are seriously shortening the battery life. Cold or hot ground is the closest thing to your shoes. Getting only 85 hours is ludicrous.
Other people might have the same experience as you, but you will always hear about the problems on support boards and nowhere near as many comments by satisfied customers.
I do know that the kit has worked within reason for me and many others so I would suggest trying the system again, HOWEVER, I would hold onto the receipt and ask for the latest stock in whatever store you purchase the sensor at so you can a) hope to have a fresh unit and b) leave the possibility of an exchange open if the sensor fails early.
Sorry to hear you're having bad luck, but it works both ways. Maybe next time you will have an everlasting sensor.
Good Luck,

My ipod stops or pauses while I am walking...I am using the nike sensor with my Ipod. Will it pause when I stop walking for a period of time?

I have purchased the nike sensor to use with my Ipod touch. I tried it on the golf course and it kept pausing after time.. I tried the different ways to work out eg basic, timed, calories...but it kept pausing after a short distance. Is this because you stop and start with golf? Is there a setting I can adjust?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

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.

Do I Need to Purchase the Nike+ Ipod Sport Kit or Just the Nike Sensor

I'm a newbie to all of this. I am considering purchasing either the new Ipod Nano or the updated Ipod Touch (32). Would I need to purchase the Nike Sensor Kit if I purchase the Ipod touch or just the Nike sensor to insert in the shoe? Thanks in advance to whomever can provide guidance on this issue.

I can speak for a new iPod touch and tell you that you only need the sensor. That's what I have and I love it. I'm really enjoying Nike's website and the history it builds.
From what I understand about the new nano, it has some sort of pedometer built right in so you can get a calculation of steps all by itself. You can also add the nike sensor to get more information on your walk/run, I'm just not certain if its the whole kit you need or just the sensor in that instance.

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
