ipod crashing when calibrating

HI,


I have already done a full rest of my ipod nano (6th gen I think - the one with a screen and a clip at the back, about a year old) but still, every time I go to calibrate my ipod after running, it crashes. I keep the receiver plugged in throughout my run to connect to my shoe pod. It used to work perfectly but I recalibrated it a month ago, and when I went to calibrate it further, it crashed and has continued to crash ever since despite the full reset.


It still records the run, just the wrong **** distance!


Any help?


Thanks

Since you have already tried a hard reset, what about a full restore? A restore of the iPod in iTunes will wipe all content from the device, reset it to factory settings, and reload a fresh copy of the iPod's software onto the device. So it should correct any sort of software issue or data corruption that your Nano may be experiencing.

B-rock, thanks.


I thought I had done that but I did it again just to be sure. The issue has been partially resolved, only partially as there's a slightly different problem now.


When I ran today, 16km, the device noted correctly that I started running at 12:40 and finished at 14:10, ie 90 minutes, but it said that I was only running 53 minutes...it gave me a great pace though!! But sadly wrong. I can now calibrate distance, but how can I calibrate time??!!

B-rock, Having thought about it, I decided to replace the sender in my shoe, and sure enough that was the problem. After more than 5000kms and 3 years, the battery finally died, no complaints there!


Now I just need to work out why the run recorded on my ipod with the new sender is not showing up on my nike account, probably some pairing required!


Thanks

Thanks for the update. It crossed my mind at one point to suggest a new sensor but I let it go. Either way I am glad to hear that. As for the problems uploading I have seen this issue crop up for a numbe of Nike+ users in the past month or two. You might be able to look for some of these lengthy threads in the iPod Nano forums.

Well, 2 steps (actually runs) and now one step back! So the other sensor I used at the weekend was one which I had linked a few years back as a reserve, but had never used. But, on Saturday, it worked very simply, stuck it in the shoe, and off I went - the runs were recorded properly, and I managed to get those runs uploaded to the nike site yesterday easily enough after a little research.


BUT, the bad news, I went to run this evening, and no sensor was being picked up by the ipod. Nada, nic, nothing!! AArgh. Have looked at the settings, it says there's a sensor linked, and there soes not seem to be anyway to unlnk an existing sensor (I thought about doing that and then relinking it).


So why would it work perfectly well two days ago, and now not at all!!
