How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

  • How do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    This is probs the oldest question out there, but how do i get my music off my pc and onto my mac ?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) and open iTunes.  At the prompt to create or choose a library choose the copied iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How do I get voice memos off an iphone which hasn't yet been synced with my computer before?

    I know that voice memos can usually be transferred to itunes by syncing my phone with itunes however the iphone I am using has never been plugged into my laptop.  When I plug it in it gives me two options: to restore from a backup or to set up as a new phone.  Both options mean wiping all the data currently on my iphone.  The voice memos are a total of 3h30mins which I would rather not have to email to myself in 105 two minute clips!  I know there is software available for extracting files from iphones onto PCs/macs but I'm not sure what will work with a phone that hasn't been recognized by the computer before.  I have also in the past wasted almost $100 on an app (desperately trying to retrieve lost voice memos!) which did absolutely nothing, so I'd rather not waste my money buying an app unless I know it will definitely do what I want it to do.  Please help!

    To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
    If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • How can I get my music off the cloud and onto my iphone only?

    I have an iPhone 5 (not sure if it's an S or a C).  I have the newest IOS on it.  How can I sync it so that my music is on my phone and NOT on the cloud?  It takes way too long to get my music to play when it's stored on the cloud.  I can't find anywhere in the sync instructions to help me with this.

  • How do you encript voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at the computer can listen to them?

    How do you encrypt voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at your computer can listen to them?

    iTunes has no ability to encrypt anything. You'll need to search for encryption software appropriate for whatever type of computer you have. Or, you could set up separate accounts for other users of your computer and password your account.

  • How do I get custom ringtone off my iPhone and into iTunes

    I recently reformatted my laptop and now I need to get my ringtones off my iphone and into itunes so I can back them up but when i check sync tones, iTunes is telling me it will erase all tones on my iPhone 4 and replace with tones on current iTunes library (and there are no tones on current iTunes library.)  Is there a way to save my ringtones that Ive created that are only on my iPhone?

    Bump?  Does anyone have any words of wisdom?

  • How do you get voice memos from iphone onto itunes with MANUAL sync?

    Ok, the iphone voice record function... I can't get the voice memos onto itunes or my computer. I don't use the autosync function, I like to manage my music and such manually.
    I cannot find a way to manually access the voice memos on my iphone through itunes. Many of them are too large to email so I'm stuck.
    The only option seems to be auto-sync, and if I do turn on the sync function at this point, itunes will completely erase my iphone and the voice memos I've recorded on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
    Any tips?
    I've looked at a lot of posts and haven't found anything to help here. Just a bunch of posts complaining about how bad the voice recorder feature is integrated into the new iphone 3.0 software.
    i'm using a 32gb 3gs.

    Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm not quite sure if there is a solution to this.
    I have the same desire as OP, but yet I do not see my voice memos automatically syncing when I have manual sync selected. I also do not see a playlist folder or anything that indicates voice memos have transferred. Am I missing something? Is there no way to get voice memos onto the computer without having to autosync it?
    If someone can provide more details on how to do this, that'd be great. But it seems at this point that I cannot get voice memos onto my computer through iTunes with manual sync on.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

    Hi King Arthur 2000,
    Voice memos can be shared back to a computer in a number of different ways, described in this article -

  • I can't get voice memos off itunes iPhone 4

    iTunes 10, Iphone 4. I have deleted the voice memos from the Library>music but they are still there under Devices>iPhone>Music. They are also not on my iPhone when I launch the Memos app. I have tried checking and unchecking the "include voice memos" and have sync'd after checking and unchecking. I am out of ideas and have not found any help googling. Anyone else run into this problem?

    I'm having this issue as well.
    I have a number of voice memos that follow my iPhone back ups every single time i upgrade my phone.
    I have about 10 voice memos dating back to 2010 that are not visible on my phone via the voice memos or music app, but in iTunes > Devices > Music OR iTunes > Devices > Voice Memos, i can see and listen to them.
    I don't have any way of deleting them either, as the delete option via "Edit" is greyed out and the "del" key doesn't do anything either, and as i mentioned above, the voice memos are not visible inside of the Voice Memos app either.
    Currently on an iPhone 5 but these voice memos have existed since purchasing my iPhone 4 in 2010.
    Invariably someone will always suggest "why don't you wipe your phone and start fresh?". This isn't a solution to the problem nor should it be considered. I'm not about to lose my contacts, messages, save games, and all of my other personally generated data just to delete 10 voice memos which SHOULD be easily removed via iTunes.
