Nike+ website "flattens" my runs

I am so glad to have found this forum, as the lack of any clear way to find help for problems on the Nike+ site was starting to get me down.
The first few times I uploaded workout data, the charts showing my runs (really walks) were great--full of bends and curves to track my changing pace.
Since then, many of my old workouts have been "flattened" by the site--transformed into flat lines, with the same pace reported for each part of the workout (very often, for some reason, 16'40"--or 16.6666 minutes--per mile), even when that pace has no connection any pace I actually went at.
For instance, for one workout of 1 mile, which I completed in around 18 minutes, the chart with the little running man shows me having gone at an unvarying pace of 16'40" per mile, which is very Alice-in-Wonderland if you think about it for a moment.
The cumulative data--how far I went, how long it took--is still intact, but all the details of what I did while getting there seem to have been thrown out.
Anyway, I don't like losing data, and the website is less fun when all my pace information is corrupted or ignored. It's still happening much (but not all) of the time, so it's not some transient problem with Nike's servers.
(How I wish Apple had an option to simply report your data to your .Mac account, incidentally! All the time-consuming bells and whistles on the Nike site--and the absence of more flexible ways of viewing and presenting your data--get to be a drag after a while.)
So, does anyone have any insights into what might be happening, or how to fix it?

I have noticed the same thing too. My earlier runs used to show my change in pace, but lately they all have been very flat. Since there are several hills in my run route I know my pace definitely changes. I actually see this in the xml data so I am sure apple or nike is using some sort of algorithim to limit the change in pace. This is prabobly a result of the spike at the end of the run issue.
About the xml, it quite easy to read if you organize it into a more reader friendly way. The part that give all the most information is between the "snapShotList" node. The kit only collects the data in kilometers and then it converts kilometers to miles. If you pick any of the 3k, 5k, or 10k workouts, the kit capures the duration (elaps time) for each kilometer. Below is part of the xml data from my 10k run this morning. As you can see by simply rearranging the carriage return, the data is easier to read.
<snapShotList snapShotType="kmSplit">
<snapShot><duration>315633</duration><distance>1.0</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>630158</duration><distance>2.002</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>940306</duration><distance>3.0</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>1256162</duration><distance>4.003</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>1573275</duration><distance>5.002</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>1892976</duration><distance>6.001</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>2222562</duration><distance>7.002</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>2551231</duration><distance>8.002</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>2881140</duration><distance>9.001</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>3211630</duration><distance>10.002</distance></snapShot>
</snapShotList>
It simply shows the duration in millisecs and the distance in kilometers. To convert the duration into min and sec, take the duration number and use this equation.
3211630(1/60)(1/1000)=53.5272
Take the decimal part and multiply by 60 to get the seconds in 1/60th and not 1/100th.
0.5272*60=31.60
So my total run of 10k was 53 min and 31 seconds.Which is confirmed by the lines from the top of the same xml file. Which shows it took me less than a 10th of a second to end the workout.
<time>2006-09-02T07:48:50-04:00</time>
<duration>3219946</duration>
<durationString>53:39</durationString>
To capure the data for each mile, it captures the duration at every 1.61km which is equal to 1 mile.
<snapShotList snapShotType="mileSplit">
<snapShot><duration>506538</duration><distance>1.61</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>1010884</duration><distance>3.224</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>1518186</duration><distance>4.829</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>2035667</duration><distance>6.437</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>2566503</duration><distance>8.048</distance></snapShot>
<snapShot><duration>3097300</duration><distance>9.657</distance></snapShot>
</snapShotList>
If you compare the 2 section 9.657km = 6 mile, so the kit capured all 6 miles of my 10km run. Now each time you push the center button, it capures the same information.
<snapShotList snapShotType="userClick">
<snapShot event="onDemandVP"><duration>792182</duration><distance>2.521</distance></snapS hot>
<snapShot event="onDemandVP"><duration>924998</duration><distance>2.948</distance></snapS hot>
<snapShot event="onDemandVP"><duration>2281055</duration><distance>7.179</distance></snap Shot>
<snapShot event="pause"><duration>3219946</duration><distance>10.027</distance></snapShot >
<snapShot event="stop"><duration>3219946</duration><distance>10.027</distance></snapShot>
</snapShotList>
As you can see from this, it capured the 3 times push the button to get my status info and the time I pushed the pause button, and the menu button to end my workout.

</extendedData>
The extended data is my distance every 10 seconds. As you can see it starts a 0km and ends at about 10km, which is how far I ran. If you subtract the first number from the second number, you get the change in my pace between the start of my workout and 10sec later. When you subtract the second number from the third number you see the change in pace between the 10sec into my workout and 20 seconds into my workout. If my pace were steady, than the subtraction of each 10sec interval would be a constant number. The larger the number the more your pace varies.
Since I have some time this weekend, I will try to write an application that will import the xml data automatically and display useful information on in MS excel. I posted the 2 vb scripts that actually plot and calculate your elaps time on another post, so if you are familiar with excel macros, just do a search for them, and it will plot your actual run for you without any modification.
Hope this helps.

HT1632 I can view a workout on my ipod touch history, but not in itunes or on nike+ website. I can't seem to upload this run and it's really annoying as I'm loosing about 12k of runs. It seems to happen when I program in a custom run. Can you help?

Hi there,
I have just done a custom run on my Ipod touch 2nd Gen of 12k. When I finished the run is appearing in my run history on my iPod touch, however it is not appearing in my itunes 'Nike+' tab, or on the Nike + website. I can't seem to get this run to sync and it is really annoying because I'll be loosing 12k. Can anyone help or has experienced this before? I know there are solutions to add runs to iPod nano's and older iPods using the 'Enable disk' and iPod_control function however from what I'm aware you cannot do this on an iPod touch. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Phil

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Pedometer workouts not synced to nike+ website

pedometer workouts not synced to nike+ website, they appear in the itunes but i can't upload them to the site.

Ok I figured it out.
Connect your iPod if iTunes opens up automatically then close it or this wont work.
ITUNES MUST NOT BE RUNNING WHEN DOING THE NEXT STEPS
Now navigate your iPod device in my computer or computer or whatever it is called on your system.. go to the "iPod Control" folder (this is a hidden folder so you will need show hidden folders enabled) then go to "Device->Trainer->Workouts->Empeds" in here there should be a folder with a bunch of letters and numbers, go into that one, next go to synched, select all the files in there (they are all .xml files) and press ctrl+X or right click and cut.
Now go back one folder from "synched" and go into "latest" press ctrl+V or right click and paste.
Important step.. log out of nikeplus.com and close your web browsers, all of them.
Now disconnect and reconnect your iPod, if iTunes is set to automatically start when you connect your iPod you will now get the "your data has been synced with nikeplus.com, would you like to visit the website?" and when you log in, your data is all there (if its not there log out of nikeplus and back in again, sometimes cookies and cache can get in the way)
Took me a day to figure this out after it started happening to me, myself being a software engineer I knew there had to be a fix and couldnt find it in any of the forums, So I tinkered around until I fixed it myself, happy to share this with you all.
Happy running

@I run a Windows 8.1 - Photoshop CS5 under Parallels on an iMac one year old and both having the latest OS. I use a NIK plugin "VIVEZA" which run fine for years without a problem. Latelt and without a reason, the NIK plugin has gone corrupt, (can not use it more the 2 corrections after a get a black background message that there is not enough memory) and the system stops running and a must restart is required. How do I fix this terrible problem?
If it requires a Photoshop CS5 re-install, (I belief that it may fix the problem) and re-install the two third party plugins (NIK Viveza) and (Onone Perfect Resize) how and where do I get to the proper Adobe upload page to do that.
I have tried to fix this problem by changing the memory allocations, I have spend many hours on it and are very disgusted with it but it needs to be fixed. The current memory settings are;
Ram available = 1588 MB
Range = 873 -1143 MB
Recommended Photoshop usage range = 857 however I have tried every setting to max and in between. Nothing works. Current setting = 1588 (max)
The Photoshop I use is registered, I have product # and order # .

Contact NIK for updated/upgraded versions of their plug-ins. They have been having a lot of issues with their plug-ins.

Got my website up and running but lightbox is not working properly

Hi Everyone,
I got my website up and running, but my lightbox isn't working properly. The descriptions of each painting is missing and the arrows and slideshow function is missing. I don't know what I did wrong.
The link to the website is below.
http://www.sainteustacefineart.com/Gallery%202.html
The gallery is supposed to look and function like the gallery in the website linked below.
http://www.labelsnlogos.com/
I also did this website, so I'm at a loss as to what went wrong.
Thanks!
Ellen

Okay, I got it working. I forgot to "put" the JS folder (which holds the Clearbox components). Something I overlooked because it was on the bottom of the files window and I didn't see it.

Existing Nike+ workouts stored on the Nike website to new iPod nano 7th gen?

Will my existing workouts stored on the Nike website (recorded via Nike+ on my iPhone 4S) be downloaded/added to my new 7th gen. Nano? I wouldn't want to have to start over re: my accumulated data... And I want to be able to see it all on my new 7th gen. Nano (when I get it). Will it all show up there?

No they don't. I tried the same and it did not happen.

Having problems us ng my ipod 7g Nike Fitness. When running when I press the button between the volume buttons, I get a different action almost every time.

I am having problems using my ipod 7g with Nike Fitness. When running when I press the button between the volume buttons, I get a different action almost every time. And usually I end up either turrning volume up very high or ending the workout. I need to be able to pause workout, and get spoken feedback regarding time, distance, and pace, that's all. I'm using a Griffin brand armband, that covers all of the buttons. I've read the online manual. no help. I'm just about ready to return it and go back to my 5th gen with its smaller song capacity and no blurry. Any help or suggestions very welcome.

Jeff:
I have had both good and bad experiences with Acronis True Image. I got the recent copy of ATI via a Newegg.com bundle. I haven't tried it yet on any Windows 7 editing systems. ATI installs some services that I would rather not have running in the background.
What made you change from ATI to ShadowProtect Desktop Edition?
Are you running Windows 7?
What do you see as advantages to running ShadowProtect Desktop Edition as opposed to Acronis True Image?
Thanks

Windows Media Player Extension "Add-on for this website failed to run" except for Administrator

This is on a Windows server 2008 r2. I am trying to allow users to watch help videos at a vendor site. If I remote desktop using the Administrator, I can play the videos and if I check the "manage add-ons", I see Windows Media Player as an extension.
If I remote desktop on as a "normal user" and try to view the same video, I get the error message "An add-on for this website failed to run" and if I check the "manage add-ons", Windows Media Player extension is not there. That
makes sense, since if it is not there, it won't run.
Why isn't Windows Media Player extension showing up in IE 10 on the server for anyone other than Admin? How could I make this work? If I am somehow preventing this from taking place, where would I go on the server to change that?

Hi,
Have you try adding this video website into trusted sites zone or compatibility view list?
Generally, improper security settings may casue failure to run some add-ons. So, please attempt to decrease security level for Internet Zone to check if this issue still occurs.
How do you think your issue is related to Windows Media Player extension? Based on my knowledge, Flash player plug-in can lead to the problem. Please reinstall your flash player for the current user.
Also, Please check in event log for more clues.

This website wants to run the Following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player'...

Alright, So i'm getting this information bar to pop up everytime i enter a new site that has adobe content.
This website wants to run the Following add-on: 'Adobe Flash Player' from 'Adobe System Incorporation'. If you trust the website and the following add-on and want to allow it to run, Click Here...
Here's an example picture on cartoonnetwork.com
(Click to enlarge)
Now, If i hit allow it will allow it but it pops up on almost every new website i go to and i have to allow it each and everytime.
Yet my Adobe version is 10,0,32,18 as shown in the picture below.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled overwritten and uninstalled Internet Explorer 8 with no luck of getting rid of this annoying problem. So if anyone has a slight idea of how to fix this problem i'll try anything because i hate it when something isn't working correctly. (Yes, I've googled around for a good 2 hours with no luck)

Alright guy's It always happens. Over 90% of the time it's just a matter of time before i fix my own problems. I solved my problem and now it works perfectly fine.
I'm gonna say how i fixed it so who ever finds this page on google can see how i did it. I uninstalled Adobe Flash Player using the uninstaller from adobe http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe after i did that i went to my system32 folder and delete my adobe folder which still had files left over in it (Deleted the whole macromed folder) C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash
Note, You need to exit any browser you have up (IE,Firefox,ect) or else you will not be able to delete it and it'll say access denied. After deleting that i installed Adobe Flash Player with a .exe i downloaded from Adobe and it worked perfect! No more annoying message
Side note, I'm use XP so the marcomed folder might possible be somewhere else if you are useing Vista or Windows 7.

Why am I not able to sync to Nike website?

My Nike+ iPod app works perfectly fine but when I connect to iTunes, I don't get the "Nike+ iPod" tab nor can I connect to the Nike+ website from my phone directly. Is this a problem with my phone (iPhone 4 with the IOS5 update) or is it Nike's server issue? Thanks!

Hello,
Most videos on the internet are played using the Adobe Flash plugin.
Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash update and/or a malfunctioning browser plugin such as Real Player.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
* [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
* [[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Itunes mileage doesn't match nike+ website mileage

I know how far I ran and it logs the miles on nike+. When I open itunes and click on the nike+ tab, the mileage is .88 more than when I log onto the nike+ website. I have the nano 2nd generation, and have only had the nano and sport kit since March.

I'm having a similar issue. My credit card expired in May and when I activated my new one I was able to log in, get updates for my apps, etc.
However, about two weeks ago the Apple Store stopped accepting that card as valid saying that my information didn't match my bank's. My information didn't change after I activated the new card and hasn't changed since March 2009.
I verified everything on my card and the information stored on the Apple Store matches the bank's website exactly.

How to get back lost runs on nike+ website

Hi to everyone, i've erased a run from the nike+ site but it's still on the ipod.How can i make it appear again on the website? please help me... thanks everyone for the interest.Bye,
gugu000

i enabled the invisible file using the terminal,than connected the ipod, opened its folder going to ipodcontrol>device>trainer>workout>empeds than the third folder in my case it was named:"5C9435N3VSX" than found the course i wanted to upload again in synched folder and copied it in the folder named "latest".I also erased some library files but i think that it's not necessary.I suggest a backup copy, i'm not responsible for what you do.When i erased some library i lost association between my ipod and my itunes, so i had to synchronize it again copying all music in it again.I suggest to disable the invisible file view immediately after you finish.
to see invisible file go to the terminal and digit:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
than restar the finder
to remove invisible file option go to the terminal and digit:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
good luck

Using Nike+ website and Nike Running

If you want to use Nike's Running Schedule, whilst it accepts your Nike+ log in as your log in for Nike Running, it will only grab the workouts from Nike+ after you log in for the first time on Nike Running.This can be a problem if you have been using Nike+ for a while as all of your earlier will not be uploaded. There is a way round this.....
If you take all your completed workouts out of the "synced" folder on your Nano and drop them back into the "latest" folder, then delete all of your workouts from Nike+ and plug your Nano back into your PC, the workouts get re-uploaded to Nike+ as new workouts. They retain the date and time stamp as original completed, the only difference is they all show up as "new" on Nike+ but this only lasts a day. Your stats and challenges and goals are unaffected (well mine were!) as is your position in the weekly, monthly and ever league tables. However, Nike Running now sees these workouts as "new" and populates your schedule retrospectively to when the workouts started, not when you first logged into Nike Running.
I hope that this is useful

David, you're a star! Great information.

I keep getting pop up windows when I click on a website. I run Avast virus detection, malwarebytes and spybot but can't seem to get it to stop.

I'm running Vista

Hi shughes3,
Does this happen with all sites or just on a particular one? It might just that the website is in a "bad neighborhood" so to speak. Do you have the [[Pop-up blocker]] enabled in Firefox? That article will show you how to turn on the pop-up blocker and how to manage it as well. You might also want to take a look at [[Is my Firefox problem a result of malware]] although it sounds like you've got that pretty well covered.

Nike+ website "flattens" my runs
