Nike+ iPod Sensor HELP!

I'm having trouble with the sensor not activating on my 2nd generation iPod Touch. I have everything the shoe, the sensor, the iPod and have tried putting it in sleep mode and turning it on countless of times and it doesn't want to activate. Please tell me what i'm doing wrong or inform me on what is wrong. Thank You.

I was having the same problem with my iPod Touch and Nike+ sensor. Here's what I did and it worked .... Reset your iPod by holding the "off" button and the "menu" button together until you see the Apple logo in the middle of your screen (a serious of screens or flashes may occur). This takes a few seconds and it will appear in "idle" mode for a few seconds. Once the home menu appears, your iPod is reset and you can try your Nike+ again. I did this once and it immediately worked. Hope this helps.

I have a major issue. i have used my touch for many walks. i also have 3 sensors and receivers and figured the touch would better b/c no matter what shoes i pick up i can sync the touch to that sensor. for some reason it wont link and tells me it sees one there but just keeps searching. I've restored twice. one hard restore and then just restore from the iTunes screen. i have also reset my settings from the touch itself and it still wont link it. any suggestions before i actually contact apple for support. i have 1, 2 and 3 gen nanos so i know about the nike+ and all the little glitches but to restore and it still wont link up I'm lost. it also didn't delete my current runs. anytime i've had to restore my nano's it always deletes my works out. funny thing on my 3rd gen is it has history but no current saved workouts. that's something that's never been fixed and i have a new nano b/c previous one would just lock up. they are great products but when there issues it's sometimes not easy getting it fixed and we're 2 hours from the closet Apple store.

for now I'm off to put my other shoes with sensors in the dryer and see if the touch will pick up my 3rd sensor. if anyone has other suggestions or things to try that i haven't i'm all ears. : )
thanks

I have had this problem for two days now, I have looked everywhere for the solution, even returned one sensor thinking it must be defective. I have been so frustrated trying to get an answer, then I found your response to the question and two seconds later all is well in the world. I am up and running, well not quite running yet that's for tomorrow. Thank You.
