Problem with Ipod nano and nike+ipod

hi everyone (i'm french so forgive the writting mistakes)
i just bought the nike+ kit for my little square ipod (which has the right itunes version 1.2) but when i plug the small white device to the ipod, the fitness menu doesn't change and stays the same as before (Walk/Run/ History) instead of the new one that i saw on pictures (Nike+Ipod / podometer / history)
i may be too worry but i want to be sure that i works as it is supposed to be ( with the expected modifications and all )
So please HELP ME 🙂
i believe it's not very complicated, but still i don't find the solution
Thanks a lot ! (again, sorry for any mistakes 😉 )

iPod nano

Hello HugoC2,

I just found this for you:

http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/article/nikeplusipod-fitnes s/a_id/20980/p/3169,3171

Is shows that the fitness icon is what you will click as your nike plus ipod icon.

Hope this helps.

This is what I actually HAVE :p

and it is suppose to change when you plug the new device but it doesn't do it and I don't know to do it.

you can see on the apple website (the nike+ part) a picture where the nano has the fitness menu uploaded has it should be.

thanks for the answer btw :)

in fact I begin to wonder if it was useful to buy the kit for my iPod (which the small square one I'm just re-specifying)

in the website you gave Julian it seems to me that they say it's not essential ... but it makes me wonder why they would suggest something useless ...

you can see I'm a bit lost ^^

thks for your next answer :)

Hello HugoC2,

What your looking at is the icon for the ipod touch/ios devices, NOT the ipod nano. The nano icon will not change.

This would help:

Nike + iPod - User Guide (including safety information)

Nike + iPod Sensor - User Guide

Cheers.

Hi julian

what you previously gave me is exactly what i have on my ipod nano.
It has changed when i had to update the ipod : the app change from the "fitness" to the nike+ app as you can see it here (what you gave me) : http://support-en-us.nikeplus.com/app/answers/detail/article/nikeplusipod-fitnes s/a_id/20980/p/3169,3171

so i wondered if when i plug the white device, the app menu was suppose to change as it is change in the user guide.
thank you !

Hello HugoC2,

When you plug the white sensor, the app menu is not suppose to change.

I found in page 4 of the user guide that the sensor is NOT required for the 6th gen nano. It is optional for use with the polar wearlink and the heart rate transmitter.

Cordially,

~Julian

And is it suppose to improve something in the podometer ? I don't understand why it is optional ...
