Nike+ Sport Kit for IPod w/ Video?

I really wanted to know if they were going to make a sport kit for the regular IPod's w/ video becuase I would like to use this tool. ???
IPod w/ Video Windows XP

i heard that the reason behind just the nano is that if you run with any other ipod, because it has a harddrive, it would screw up the unit and since the nano uses flash only, it works perfectly with the armband and running, etc...but who knows...monday's WWDC should be interesting or dissapointing.

When the new Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (5th generation) ?

When the new Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (5th generation) ?
Is the Nike Sport Armband for iPod nano (4th generation)same to use??
Is Nike Sport Armband or Incase Sports Armband good to use?

Not sure about the Nike, but do NOT buy the InCase armband. This product is HORRIBLE for at least 3 reasons. I am tall and of normal build. Tried to wear it while working out (have worn other iPods and MP3 players in armbands/cases while working out with no problems at all).
1) The strap is barely long enough to fit over my biceps (which is normal sized). The strap is not flexible, so it's loose when your arm is extended, tight when your arm is flexed. When doing a normal arm exercise (not even a biceps exercise), with a normal amount of weight, the very first time I tried to wear this, it popped right off my arm (literally).
2) This generation Nano is longer than previous ones. The case is even longer (longer than necessary). It barely even fit on my arm, length-wise, between my elbow and my shoulder (and my arms are somewhat longer than average). Also, it was so long that I had to try to wear it in only one position, otherwise I couldn't really even bend my arm (during the 1 minute it stayed on my arm to begin with).
3) The case has a thin opening at one end but none at the other, and is difficult to get in and out. Thus you can either have access to the earphone plug or the "lock" button, but not both. I actually "solved" this by creating a small hole in the bottom that allowed me to stick the earphone plug through it, allowing me access (sort of) to both ends. (Unfortunately, did this before testing the product out and can't return it now, if I could have to begin with.)
Do NOT buy this product. I wish I hadn't.

There are now two Nike+ Sport kit discussion forums

Looks like Apple is splitting the Nike+ Sport kit forum into two groups--1st generation and 2nd generation Nanos. Here's the link for the Nike+ Sport kit for the 2nd gen Nano http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1132
It is also harder to find these two groups if you are new to the Apple Forums. (I asked some friends who don't use the forums to try this out and they were baffled how to find the two Nike+ Sport Kit discussion forums.)

I suspect it's simply that Apple is dividing up discussions in a way that seems logical to them and then indexing accordingly. So if there are two generations of Nanos, they have two Nike+ Sport kit forums. Simple for Apple. Not so simple for users of the Nike+ Sport kit.
For example, I will soon own both Nanos, so when I have question about the Nike+ kit my question will probably relate to both Nanos and will have to post my question on both forums. When I answer questions, the answers about Nike+ in many cases will be the same on both forums. And when the third generation Nano comes out, same drill, now multiplied 3 times!
So rather than splitting the Nike+ forum to follow the multiple generations of Nanos, it would make more sense for members of the Nike+ Sport Kit discussion forum to have one forum for us that includes all generations of Nanos.

Ipod classic and nike sports kit

hi,
can anyone tell me if the ipod classic is compatible with the nike sports kit, importantly if its not why not?
i spent a considerable amount of money purchasing what i thought was a premium product and it would now appear that it will not even support something that a cheaper ipod (nano) will, how can this be so?
cheers

The iPod classic is not compatible with the iPod sport kit, likely because its hard drive is much more vulnerable to being dropped than an iPod nano's flash media.

Why no Nike+ sport kit category for 3rd gen nano?

Considering all the problems people (myself included) have been having with the 3rd gen nano and the Nike+ sport kit, does anyone wonder why there is no category for it here (only 1st and 2nd gen)?

It will be coming out soon.

Internet and Itunes with Nike + Sports kit.

Hi,
I am thinking about buying a nike+ sports kit but have just a few questions!
I have my ipod synced/itunes on a Windows Vista laptop, that has no internet.
To use nike+ sports kit do you have to have the internet on the computer which has your ipod synced to itunes?
The other computer in my houshold is a windows XP computer *with internet.*
do i need to sync my ipod/itunes onto this computer in-order to use the sports kit? Or can I use the sports kit on the computer with the internet but which is not the computer i would normally use for general ipod use (Syncing of songs etc)...? DO I need to have all of songs, itunes, internet & sports kit all *on the ONE computer?*
Very tricky to explain...
Help much appreciated!!

The Nike+ plus sports kit does support playback of Audiobooks. You need to start the audiobook before you start Nike+.

Can I modify the frequency of the Nike+Sport Kit Notifications?

When I set my Nike+Sport kit on the Time setting, it give me an update every 5 minutes. When running for 180 minutes, every 5 minutes tends to be very annoying. Is there a way to modify the notification setting? Say every 30 minutes instead of every 5 minutes?

You might get a better response from folks who use this if you post in the Nike/sport kit forum here.

I just got my nano 6th generation, and i wonder if i use mi nike sport kit, i will have an improvement ?

For anyone following, I looked further into the tape cassette adapter and it seems to get the best reviews vs. FM transmitter. Guess there is a good reason that I have the last year model with a tape cassette. Worth mentioning is the Maxell one gets a better review than the Monter one. Not sure why, but it's cheaper. Anyone else find a good quality tape cassette adapter?

Nike sport kit

can you use the nike sport kit with the iPhone 3G?

are they going to make the nike+ sport compatible at all with the 3G? any software upgrade that will make it work? cuz i don't want to buy a new phone!!

Nike+ iPod Sport Kit for my personal workout and running.

I bought a Nike+ and I already have a iPod 5th Gen. with video and 80GB(which I love). Is there a software available to make the two compatible or is the Nike+ still only able to work with the iPod Nano? What should I do ?

Will an iPod Classic work for the Nike + iPod Sport Kit?
No.
Why does the Nike + iPod Sport Kit only work for iPod Nano and iPod Touch?
Only those iPods contain the firmware needed to use it, likely because iPods with a hard drive such as the iPod classic are much more vulnerable to drops and other hard impacts than iPods which use flash media.

Does 6th Gen iPod Nano need the Nike + Sports Kit?

I have the Nike+ sensor with my Sports Band. To use it with the new 6th Gen Nano, do I have to get the sports kit? Or is this feature built in like the iPhone 3GS and 4? The attachment to the new nano will make the form factor ugly.

Hi toffeepup,
As cocon said, you will need the receiver. Here are some of the references...
Based on the iPod nano Specifications page it looks like you will need the Nike + iPod Sport Kit (with the receiver) for the new nano.
From the bottom of that page, under "Which iPod are you?" it says, "Nike + iPod support".
Compare that to the iPod touch which says, " Nike + iPod support built in".
Also, from Rock and Run
"Then connect the receiver to your iPod nano. iPod touch, iPhone 3GS, and iPhone 4 include built-in support for Nike + iPod, so no receiver is necessary."
Note it does have a built in pedometer, and based on the Features page you can upload that to the Nike+ website. Not sure if that's enough for you.

Do I need to purchase the nike sports pack for my 7th generation ipod nano? I want to get the audio feedback while I am walking.

I purchased the ipod nano 7th generation because a coworker of mine has one and it talks to her while she is walking.
Mine does not do that and I wonder if I have to purchase the nike sports pack sensor.
Thank you

Hey SeanW89,
Thanks for the question. The iPod nano 7th generation has bluetooth functionality that can connect to the Nike+ sensor. You do not need to purchase the USB kit, but rather just the sensor itself:
Nike + iPod Sensor - Apple Store (U.S.)
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA368LL/E/nike-ipod-sensor
iPod nano (7th generation): Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5470
Connect to Bluetooth accessories
You can connect your iPod nano to compatible Bluetooth headsets and other accessories, including some hands-free systems in newer cars. You can also connect to a Nike+ sensor or a Bluetooth heart-rate monitor. iPod nano supports A2DP for audio streaming and AVRCP for controlling playback on Bluetooth devices.
Note: FM radio will not play through a Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks,
Matt M.

2 nike plus sport kits 1 Ipod?

I have one IPOD Nano and 2 sport kits....Is it possible for my wife and I to share 1 ipod and still each have our identity using our own sport kits.

This post from Apple FAQ, should be relevant to what you want to do:
Question: I have a computer at home and one at work. Can I update my iPod music collection from more than one computer?
Answer: Yes. When you first connect iPod to your computer, iPod recognizes that computer as its "home" computer. Each time you connect, iPod automatically downloads the music library stored on it. When you connect iPod to a different computer, iPod asks for permission before synchronizing with this music library. If you choose Auto-sync, iPod recognizes the second computer as its home computer and breaks the link with the original computer. If you do not choose Auto-sync, iPod switches to manual update mode, allowing you to selectively drag songs, albums, or playlists from the second computer to your iPod.
Synchronization occurs only in one direction, from your computer to your iPod. This means you cannot transfer music, automatically or manually, from your iPod to a computer, and you cannot use iPod to copy a music library from one computer to another. But, if you legally are allowed to copy music files, you can configure your iPod as a hard disk to move music files.

Calibrating the Nike+ Sports Kit.

After a couple of tries I think I got it now. The information that gets sent to iTunes and nikeplus.com is right, yet -- on the iPod nano itself window --, although the time and pace are correct (in History), the distance is not.
I'll check this out at the nike site but their discussion groups are not so good.

My "Saved-for-iPod" mp4 video stops, while audio continues...

This has recently happened both with saving iMovie HD 6.0.4 projects as mp4s, and for DVD. 1) In iMovie, I imported a .mov I made in iPhoto (slideshow with jpegs & added music). Just that one file. I then saved it for iPod. I played it in iTunes, and the first minute is fine, but then the video "freezes" while the audio continues. Same thing happened when I synched it to my iPod. 2) In iMovie, I imported 5 avi files and added dissolve transitions. Sent to iDVD 6.0.4 and made a DVD. Same thing. The video image freezes at some point, and audio continues. I previously made DVDs successfully, by importing avi files to iMovie HD 6.0.2 & adding transitions. I can't figure out what could be wrong. Any help is appreciated.

I have the iPod Touch 32GB and my video podcasts do the same thing. The video portion just freezes randomly but the audio continues on. This happens with a variety of video podcasts on my Touch. Very annoying and unacceptable for unit in this price range. I would love to see a solution to this problem!
