Running with the gen 7 Nano

Hi there. The Apple website says that the shoe sensor is not required for tracking runs with the latest Nano (gen 7). However, when I try to track my run, it says it can't link to the sensor. What sensor do they mean, if not the one that attaches to the shoe. Do I need to purchase one?
Thanks!

I don't have one, so this is from the linked article and my experience with a 5th gen nano. To set it up, it says...
On your iPod nano's home screen, tap the Fitness icon.
Tap the "i" icon in the lower rightt-hand corner to access your Fitness Settings.
Input your height and weight (under Personal Info) and select your units of measurement and distance.
So, once you've entered your personal information, a one-time deal, when you want to do a run, on my 5th gen nano, I do the following (the first time)
main iPod screen -> Nike+iPod -> Nike+iPod ->Basic (or other workout type)
and then it tells me to walk around to activate the shoe sensor (which would not be needed in your case) and then prompts me to start my workout (press the center button).
If I want to repeat the same type of workout, it saves the options used before, so I can select
main iPod screen -> Nike+iPod -> Basic Workout

Is it possible to get intermediate info while running with the Ipod Nano 6th gen?

In the store I was told that the Ipod Nano 6th gen would keep me informed every 500m or every km about my distance, average speed etc.
The Ipod only tells me AFTER the run what my average speed etc was. Not during my run. Is there a possibility to get this info during my run? The store does not know the answer.

Do you have the Spoken Feedback setting set to On under Settings -> Fitness on the iPod?

What is up with the iPod nano 7th gen. I just had a second one die. with both after only 3 weeks of useage?

what is up with the iPod nano 7th gen. I just had a second one die. both after only 3 weeks of useage... both dead since Jan 10th 2013.

this is an answer I just gave to someone else.
i'm going to ask you to try something I just did to fix a maybe simular problem that worked..... but I don't know why yet........make sure your iPod in plugged into your computer (mine is a Mac) and iTunes is turned on. My iPod was also "dead" but had been plugged into my computer for a couple of hours (but not lit up in any way). Then (in desperation) I held down all the buttons, the on/off (on top right), the small Home botton at the bottom of the face, and the volume/pause buttons (left side). For whatever reasons my iPod came back to life in a needs restoring mode ....and asked me to restore it in the itunes like "new' iPod connected mode. Since I have a Mac I also had to give permission to do a download by entering my computer password. If you have to do the same have that password ready. Then it did a restore software download. Everything previously on the iPod was erased and had to be re-synced, but I was just thankful to get it up and restored again.
Give this a shot and I hope it works for you.....but why? I don't know yet, I need more questions answered.

Are there problems with the 5g nano and previous games?

I just got the 5g nano to replace my video and i bought two 99 cent games because well, they were only .99. Chinese Checkers and Reversi. When i play the game, the screen keeps shifting. Before you say you are rotating it and the accelerometer is detecting it, this happens when it is laying flat on the table without me touching it. I'll make my move, and then the other people will go, and then it will point to my item that i want to move, only its not in the position its pointing at. If the board were flipped it would be correct. Kinda hard to explain, but if it happens to you, you will understand.

What are the system requirements of the games you purchased? Game compatible with 5th gen nano?
Apple is not going to respond here because this is a user to user message board. If you found no help on Apple's message board, iPod PDF user manual or Apple's Knowledge Base, every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.

S12 with the VIA Nano ULV 2250 processor splashtop 2.0

i am ready to order the s12 with the via nano does it come with splashtop 2.0,or can a older version of splashtop be updated

Hi,
Lenovo Quickstart is a system in a system... based on linux ... installed as a program at same partition where windows takes place ... but independ & installed in invisible folders ...could be activated via BIOS or in Windows ..
also known as splashtop ... thats also right...
For short ...a small system for a quick internet ....reduced to a browser, musicplayer, messenger... but not as target to take all advantage of a full system....so there is no pdf viewer or video player available....
if you want a more full system on a system, think that better fullfilled the lost features than use Jolicloud in near same way , but without Key using QS...
You can install Jolicloudexpress without fear on every running Windows ... as a normal program .. if you didnt like that.. simply de-install it...
... about Quickstart here...

i have a problem, i bought lion but when i want to install he said me i need to "download osx lion server" i'm running with the last lion beta. how to update please?
ps: sorry for my english :S

You apparently are using a version of OS X you did not purchase using your Apple ID. Although you can download Mavericks you cannot install it over your current system. You must repartition your hard drive, then reinstall the version of OS X originally installed when it came new from the factory. That would be on the installer discs that should have come with the computer. If the computer did not come with discs from the factory but OS X was pre-installed (Lion or Mountain Lion) then you can perform an Internet Recovery:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your external hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.

Which of these accesories will work 100% with the iPod Nano?

title about sums it, which will work with the ipod nano:
Radio Remote
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA0 70G/A
AV Connection Kit
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA2 42LL/A
ALSO is the av kit overkill for the iPod Nano? The av cable looks like it would not work,no video from Ipod so what the point of a video cable? Also I am pretty sure it doesn't have an ir reciever for a wireless remote so what that part of the av kit be useless too?

The a/v kit won't work with the nano. Specifically the v part. The audio and the rest will work, though.
The radio remote works 100% with the nano.

Running with the iPhone

I have a 60 GB Photo iPod, and bought an armband to run with the iPod. After year or so, I started to have some problems with the iPod, including the wheel and the iPod freezing. I found out that because my iPod does not have "flash" memory, it is not good to have the iPod bouncing up and down (i.e. running)
Has anyone used an armband with the iPhone? Any problems with the phone/armband? Does the armband keep moisture out?
Any help is appreciated.

Deggie,
Thanks for the info. As soon as my Ipod nano needs charging I'll use my A1102 charger.

What is the battery average of the iPhone 4S running with the 5.1 IOS ?

So... what is the battery average of the iPhone 4S running with the 5.1 IOS ?

I don't spend time worrying about my "average" battery life. To figure that out, I'd need to keep track of exactly how long it took my battery to run down. I'd need to run the battery down every time. I'd need to do this for weeks to get any valid data. I have a life. I charge my phone at night and take it off in the morning. If I need or get the chance to charge it some other time, I do.

WILL THE 1st GEN DOCK WORK WITH 2nd GEN NANO?

as the title states.... i think it will, but if anyone knows or has a logical idea, let me know. thanks.

The 2nd Gen Nano does only work with Apples universal dock.
For this product, you will find an adapter.
If you (like me) have purchased a Nano (1st Gen) dock - aka the small dock without audio/video/ir - then the 2nd Gen Nano does NOT fit in. The connector is slightly shifted and due to the round edges, you cannot insert it.
kind regards
Tom

With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off? If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

Syncing issues with 6th gen Nano

Hi,
Not sure this should be an iTunes specific question of a Nano 6G one, I plumped for this one anyway.
My Nano seems to have problems fully syncing playlists of either kind. I am trying to sync a handful onto it and having the following issues.
1) To Listen - Peel. This is a smart playlist with a single word keyword specification. This one syncs fine.
2) To Rate. This is a complicated smart playlist with all the music I have listened to, want to keep but still have to rate. There are 7 rules in all and within iTumes the playlist shows up 73 songs. Only 1 song is shown on synced playlist on my Nano however.
3) 2011 Compilations. I put together standard playlists every couple of months with best music of the year. Within my iTunes the structure is as follows:
5 - Years & Decades/ 2010s / 2011 / Compilations / then you have the standard playlists, 6 in all which are named 2011-1, 2011-2 etc. there are 88 tracks in these playlists in total.
I try and sync them and when navigating through it on my Nano it follows the structure above to 2011. It doesn't have the others though, no Compilations and no individual playlists. It means they are all grouped together as a single playlist rather than the 6 they should be.
And..... just to add another level of bizarre behaviour, within this group above are around 43 of the missing To Rate tracks (2) which show here but not in the playlist they are meant to be in. This is not all of them of course, around 30 To Rate tracks don't sync anywhere.
I am running the latest version of iTunes and the Nano firmware. Incidentally when I look at the content of the nano through Devices it suggests that the content should be exactly as I have defined it, on the actual Nano it's not the case. I have tried restoring the Nano but the same results are produced.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
C.

Since I posted this, I had lunch with a friend who is more knowledgeble about these things, and he answered 2 of 3 as follows:
1) Apparently with new Nano (6 or 7 Gen), you don't need to power off completely, putting in sleep mode or letting it go to sleep mode (with track stopped or pause) is sufficent and does not burn up battery life. If you do this, rather than shutting Nano off completely, it does resume where you left off.
2) More Clock faces (and other upgrades) are available in 1.2 firmware upgrade which can be downloaded from Apple.
3) Issue with clock face not staying on, or with Nano being susceptible to command changes from pressing against while in pocket, etc, he believes there must be a lock function, but have not yet figured this out,
