HT1386 Can't delete Voice Memos on iPhone and on iTunes

The situation:  iPhone 4S, Mac OS 10.6.8
I record a voice memo on the iPhone and sync with iTunes.  The VM shows up in iTunes as it should. 
HOWEVER, if I delete the VM from the phone, the next time I sync with iTunes it reapears on the phone.
If I find the file on the Mac in Finder, delete the file, delete the VM on the phone, then sync, it STILL reappears on the phone, and stays in iTunes.
So.... how do I delete a VM so it is not on the phone or the Mac once I sync?

IF it is check in itunes then it will sync back to your phone.  Unchecking it won't delete it in itunes, it just won't sync to your phone the next time you connect.
Just like if you manage your own music.  If you check songs in itunes it will sync to your phone if you uncheck it, it won't but it won't delete from your music library.

  • Recover deleted voice memos on iphone

    Hi there,
    I wanted to trim 20 secs off a voice memo and deleted the 70min after instead. Besides paying for software to use via the mac to recover the file I wondered if there was a simple process via the iphone? btw the icloud voice memos was not on?
    Cheers

    I think the simplest way is to retrieve deleted voice memos on iPhone through computer, no apps on iPhone available now to do it.

  • How to permanently delete voice memos from iPhone 4s?

    As you can see, I have over 387 voice memos somewhere on my phone, and I want them permanently deleted. I've deleted the voice memos through the voice memos app, and these appear to be all of the deleted voice memos. I tried deleted the voice memos playlist, and that didn't do anything either. This list is shown on the new iTunes.... where you click "On This Phone" when looking at my connected iphone. It's taking up a ton of space on my phone and I don't need them. A majority of them appear to be the exact same voice memo just in there a bunch of times. I can't find a solution anywhere for this.
    Also, how can I make sure that any future voice memos don't sync to my iTunes? I can't find an option to uncheck the syncing of voice memos. All of these changes are confusing me.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE: I just checked, and I do not have voice memos checked in itunes as syncing to my computer from my phone. So why was it syncing anyway? I don't understand.

    I was having a similar issue and I if I understand correctly, I think this is a solution for others..
    in itunes with iphone plugged in, go to summary tab. click "manually manage music.." and apply. Then go to "on this phone tab" and you can actually physically delete the voice memo playlist or individual voice memos. This appears to have finally worked for me..or at least the voice memos playlist doesn't persist under the "on this phone tab" anymore....not sure it made a huge difference in my iphone available space.

  • HT4864 Can I delete email on my iPhone and have my ipad also delete them on its own?

    Can I delete mail on my ipad and have it tell my iPhone to delete it automatically?
    I thought this is what iCloud would do?

    You're welcome.  If you're using a POP account, not even a 10 year old can help you.   You'll have to get an IMAP account (such as iCloud email, Gmail or Yahoo), then forward your old account to your new one until your contacts learn to use your new email address.

  • How do you delete voice memos from iphone 4

    I have multiple copies of the same voice memos on my iphon and it is taking all the memory on my phone.  How can I delete them?

    Same way they get there, via a sync. When you sync a photo folder/album on the phone, you can "un" sync it by connecting to iTunes, go to the photo tab, unselect the Photo folder and sync again.

  • Deleting Voice Memo is iPhone 5s

    Hi there,
    Now I have a little "problem", I have an iPhone 5s running with iOS 8.1, my Laptop running Windows XP and iTunes 12.0.1.26 (the latest).
    A few days ago I had a problem with my Sync (now it is solved) but, something weird happen, I had (originally) 140 Voice Memos in my iPhone and in my iTunes Library, but now I have 280 in iTunes and my iPhone; I deleted "the dupplicated ones" in iTunes and synchonized with my iPhone thinking this would correct the duplicate ones in my phone, but, it is WORST, the sync did not erased the ones in my iPhone, but triplicate the items in iTunes AND in my iPhone too!!!!!!
    Now I have 420 records! Does that mean I have to DELETE the Voice Memos in my iPhone "one by one"?
    Any help or idea will be welcome.
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
    Open TextEdit on a new document
    Enable  Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
    Press the fn-key twice
    Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the  Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
    Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation.  You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished.

    I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
    Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there.  Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

  • Can't retrieve voice memos on iPhone 4

    Anyone have a tip on how to retrieve voice memos in the iPhone 4?
    When I tap the button to the right of the VU meter, nothing happens. It was working fine up until now.
    Any tips much appreciated.
    Regards,

    I've experienced this and have what appears to be a work around. Using iPhone Explorer I found that I had both a voice memo and a movie with the same file name. The voice memo is useless, however, the movie was transferred by iPhone Explorer and the playback is working fine.

  • How can i transfer voice memos from iphone 3g to a laptop tha is not a mac???

    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.

  • How do you transfer voice memos on iphone 3G to iTunes?

    I have voice memos on my iphone 3G that are very important. I want to sync them to iTunes. Problem is, when I go to the tab that says "music" and try to push "include voice memos" it is greyed out. This is because I manually manage the music in my iTunes. When I push the "sync music" icon, it has a message saying that "all existing content from iphone will be removed and replaced with songs in iTunes." Is there a way to get my voice memos onto iTunes without having to go to the extreme of removing the content from my phone? I'm afraid that if I push the "sync music" button, it will erase all of my voice memos from my phone. Any help or ideas??

    Well, while I cannot fully help as I don't mess with voice memos nor use manually manage, perhaps you can at least use the Share button in Voice memos to email them to yourself just as a precaution before trying anything.

  • I cannot transfer voice memos from iPhone 4 into iTunes 11.1.5

    I was able to transfer voice memos until the 2th of March 2014, but then I have three other memos I want to transfer into iTunes and I can't, I have tried everything... any sugestions???

    Hi,
    The only way I found with my version of iTunes (11.1.1.11) is the following:
    - select your device (mine was an iPod Nano 6G)
    - in the options, select the activation of the device as an hard disk
    - on your computer, navigate to the Apple device and select the folder "Recordings"
    When here, you get the files, you can copy and paste or drag and drop where you want.

  • HT1277 can I delete emails from my IPhone and the server as well?

    Can I delete emails from both my IPhone 5 and the server as well?

    It's very easy to do - open up the music app, find the song/artist/album you want to delete and then swipe on it right to left and press 'delete'. Once you have done this it will take up no more space on your device whether it's in the cloud or not.
    If the song is still appearing in the music app with a little cloud next to it then you can stop it from showing by going into settings, music, and turning off 'show all music'. Note that this will remove ALL songs from the music app that have the cloud next to it (the cloud means they are in the cloud, online, but not stored on the device) and if you want to play them you will have to open itunes and redownload it, or change this setting back to on.
    Let me know if you need any more help!

  • How can i store music on my iPhone and use iTunes match?

    I signed up for Itunes match but found the streaming music uses a lot of data and is too expensive.  I then put the music back on my iphone but found that enabling itunes match will delete the music on my phone.  Is there anyway to keep the music on my iphone and also connect to itunes match?

    Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
    I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
    Thanks again!
