Iphone 4 voice memo crash?

So i am an iphone 4 user.
Just today, i have use my voice recorder to record a VERY IMPORTANT interview, the whole interview takes about 39:46s, and yes, i can remember the number so clearly is because i do take a look before i press the stop button. After that, when i try to listen the voice memo, the time had changed to 0s, it was so scary!! how can it change to 0s?
THE VOICE MEMO IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!! PLS HELP ME!!

Please list the iOS version your iPhone 4 is running, since that may have a bearing
on the issue, and perhaps any helpful advice someone may offer in passing.

If you want to try & recover 'deleted' or lost Voice memos on iPhone 4, this article
at iFixit.com may be helpful; the causes are mentioned as is a path to try:

Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade - ASC discussion from last year
Had you looked to see if any Voice Memos re-appeared by accident -- in iTunes?
Did you see the Support section where manuals, and some helpful ideas for iPhone appear?
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/
Frankly, after looking into iPhone support, I am amazed at how lame and wasteful of my
time to try & find information, to help you, has been. The entire site seems dumbed/down.
So one of the other things is to look in search engine results, per example:
iphone 4 voice memo restore:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=iPhone+4+voice+memo+restore
restore voice memo iphone 4:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=restore+voice+memo+iphone+4
Sorry to not be of much help, as I was looking to see if you'd mentioned the OS X 10.10
issues in another discussion, and saw this instead. You may have to re-state the issue
in regard to that other topic. And I hope these two topics are not related, for your sake.
Good luck & happy computing!

    iphone voice memos does not stay open

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Syning iphone voice memos to itunes

    I am having trouble syncing iphone voice memos to itunes. I am selling my iphone and need to ship it off, but I really want the vocie memos. I went to the music tab and checked include voice memos. I have backed up and synced my phone after,and I cannot get the voice memos playlist to appear on itunes. I have emailed some to myself, but some are too large. Please help

    Yes, you can! You need an app on your Mac called Phone View. Download it, check the "show all files" option(or words to that effect) in prefs, and look under voice memos. Be careful not to delete any iphone system files, but if you follow the instructions you will easily see a section for voice memos. Drag the relevant .mov (this seems to contain the sound data) onto the desktop and then into itunes.
    Quick, wireless, and no sync required. I did this for one voice memo of a conference that got stuck on the phone, i.e., it wouldn't sync in itunes, and it also wouldn't play from with the voice memo app on my phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Iphone Voice Memo Sync Solved?

    Recently got an Iphone 3GS. Couldn't get the iphone voice memos to sync to Itunes, except once by trimming the memo and that seemed a fluke.  I didn't want to go through the steps of consolidating my itunes library which has worked for some, as I didn't want all that duplication going on. I found that once the Iphone is connected, there is ANOTHER box that needs to be checked that Apple has not mentioned as far as I know: The name of your iPhone in the Artists box.
    1. Connect Iphone to computer. Note that I do not automatically sync my Itunes or iphone but manual only; others may differ.
    2. At the top of the Summary page, select the Music tab which opens the music page, at the top of which is a box that you check called Sync Music. (That 'sync music' is just a setting, not the 'sync' button at the bottom that actually syncs.)
    I make sure that under that the 'selected playlists artists albums and genres' is selected, then below that is checked the 'include voice memos'...
    3. Under that you should see a list of categories playlists, artists, etc. You can check the box 'Voice Memo' under Playlists, but don't know if this is crucial. There is another Voice Memos box under 'Genre' which you can click but also don't know if it's crucial.
    4. Most importantly, go to the Artists list, scroll down and find the name you use for your Iphone. THAT'S the box that seems most important. Then with all those boxes checked the computer may request you to hit the 'apply' button at bottom right for those changes, then click the Synch button on the bottom right of the page and all voice memos go from iphone to iTunes.
    To get them out of Itunes for backup go to the left hand column in the Itunes window where it says 'PLAYLISTS' (not the playlists on the music page, but the heading in the left hand column usually below the 'STORE' and 'DEVICES' headings.) This PLAYLISTS heading shows the iTunes folders on your computer, not your iphone, scroll down and through the playlists until you come to 'Voice Memos'. Open that and then you can drag the voice memos onto your desktop like any other itunes file. (If you mistakenly open the Voice Memos folder under the Devices heading, that's your Iphone, and you will not be able to drag those files onto your desktop. Ideally disconnect your iphone before doing this.)
    I would like to know if this works for other than the two MacBook Pros I tried it on; note that this presumes your iphone name will show up in the Artists list; if not that may be another problem.

    Can someone help me with that?

  • Voice Memo Crashes Upon Opening App

    Ever since the upgrade to 6.1, my iPhone 5 will not open Voice Memos. It immediately crashes yet stays open in the bottom tab. I can't find a solution anywhere. I have hard reset my phone etc. The app is basically rendered useless. Any known fixes out there?

    Well buddy, if like me you've been buying Apple product for 20 years (over $20K of all sorts of their products from pro Computer to iPods, iPhone etc) and encountered a long list of unresolved  problems recently ever since I got my iPhone 5 and also 2 brand new Mac Minis you'd feel the same.
    Also I did updated to the latest iTunes, not only I hated it, it did not fix any of my problems and it was painfully slow so I went back to 10.7. Plus the fact that Voice memo doesn't launch has nothing to do with iTunes
    PS resetting did not fix it

  • IPhone Voice Memos Interrupted By Incoming Calls

    I notice that every time I use my Voice Memos software on the 3G(s), if an call comes in, the Voice Memo stops recording and I won't know it till I look at the phone later. Is there ANY way to stop that for that not to happen and you can have perhaps the calls go directly into voice mail so that the Voice Memo feature doesn't get interrupted? It's useless to me otherwise.
    Thanks for anyone's input!

    The voice recorder application - just like every other iPhone application, native or 3rd party - will shut down when you receive a phone call. The iPhone operates under the assumption that the device is first and foremost a telephone.
    As far as work arounds go, you can always put the phone in airplane mode when you need to use the voice recorder app uninterrupted. This will send all incoming calls directly to voicemail.

  • IPhone Voice Memos Won't Sync

    I have an iPhone 3GS and an iMac operating on OS X 10.6.8. When I sync my iPhone to the iMac, all of my voice memos transfer, except key memos dated before a certain date or 5/4/11. I can't figure it out. I've looked through all my preferences in iTunes and on the iPhone but without any luck. Any clue what the problem may be and how to fix it?
    Thank you...

    I got a way around it. It's a bit long but works. Email the memo to yourself and then download it. Then open it on itunes and find it inside the Music folder (top left). Then copy and place it wheneve you want. It's the only way I could managed to move them from the memo library to my prefered playlist (despite ticking the include voice memos box). For some anowying reason memos are not allowed to be moved around!

  • IPhone voice memos can't be deleted

    I have unchecked voice memos and eleted others from my itunes library, but they still show in Voice Memos on the iphone (when viewed from itunes. How do I get rid of them from the iphone. I think this is why I have 4GB of OTHER cluttering my iphone memory

    Thanks, selecting Manually Manage allowed me to delete the errant voice memo files. Curiously, it did not delete within the general Music folder so had to dlete from there as well. I think they are gone, but saw no reduction in space used. Have to look somewhere else for that.

  • Voice Memo Crashing - Help.

    My "voice memo" keeps crashing when i try to open it.  It has played since my last software update, so I'm not sure what happened. When I sync my phones through itunes, my new voice memos won't transfer either. Any thoughts on how to retrieve the data?

    I got through to apple help line on the phone.  It was a corrupt program.  They had me back up all my data and then reformat the phone which re-installed the latest voice memo program.  Fortunately, all my voice memos stayed in tact and once the program was re-installed it opened them again.  Because it is an error on apple's side, there is no cost for the phone tech help. Good luck!

  • Why my iPhone Voice Memos sometimes randomly stop recording

    Hello everyone,
    I'm using my iPhone 6 Plus Voice Memos app to record my lecture in the university, the problem is sometimes the app stop recording and this is causing me major problem.
    Note that I'm putting my iPhone on Airplain mode to avoid stopping the recording if someone called me.
    The WiFi is sometimes ON while recording, but in all cases the Airplain mode is on
    at the end I need to record my classes lectures for more then 60 minutes normally sometimes 160 minutes.
    Thank you.

    Hey there Al-Shatti Jr.,
    If your Voice Memos are still unexpectedly not recording after some time, I would recommend quiitting the app itself first:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Iphone voice memo issue?

    So when I record anything with my iphone I give the voice memo a name by taping the blue arrow at the end of the recording, however when I sync them to my itunes the name does not sync and only the date and time...! does anyone know how can I fix this or if this is even possible?

    Hi, Stanley Chong. 
    I would start by closing all applications open in multitasking and power cycling the device.  The article below will walk you through the process of forcing applications to close.  Test recording Voice Memos after processing these steps.

  • Iphone voice memo xfer to ipad from macbook .. why not?

    I've started using voice memos on my iphone to sketch out riffs and song ideas, they transfer just fine to my macbook pro and show and play just fine in itunes. I use my ipad to store itune playlists off of my macbook and have no difficulty playing. But for the first time, I added a voice memo to a playlist but the voice memo will not transfer to the ipad. The rest of the songs transfer just fine ... I've got the voice memo box checked in preferences ... the voice memo plays ok in tunes on my macbook and on my iphone but does not show at all on ipad after transfer.
    Whats up with that?
    Thank you, especially if you can help me figure it out!

    Hi
    Yes very puzzling.. Can you confirm your iPhone type and IOS... 3GS and 6.0.2 don't go together.
    Cheers

  • IPhone 5 Voice Memo crash due to alerts

    Hello all-
    I have had the iPhone5 for about a month and just started using the VoiceMemo app to record meeting notes and discussions.  Overall, usually works fine, but I notice that if I am recording and I get any kind of reminder alert from the calendar, or an incoming phone call, or an incoming text, it kills the recording in progress and doesn't even save what I had recorded up until that moment.  Very frustrating especially if I am 30-45 minutes into a meeting/discussion, all is lost!  Any ideas or tips?
    Many thanks!!

    Put your phone in Airplane mode. That will stop all calls, SMS's, etc. Then start your recording.
    Also turn off your alerts before you start.

  • IPhone 5S Voice Memos

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with the voice memos.
    I am using an iPhone 5S -> iOS7, back up from iPhone 4S (the voice memos were recorded in iPhone 4S).
    Previously, my iPhone 4S had the same problem too.
    The voice memos can't be found in the iPhone VoiceMemo app, but it can be seen from iTunes > On this iPhone > Voice Memos playlist.
    The memos are greyed out in iTunes, but can be played.
    Also, the checkbox in iTunes > Music > Include Voice Memos is unchecked.
    Someone please teach me how to remove all the voice memos in my iPhone 5S and also from the iTunes.
    Thanks.

    and also why do my voice memos show up in my music - only in itunes not on iphone

  • Iphone 4s voice memos not syncing to itunes?

    hi all,
    i have an iphone 4s, purchased in october 2011. all the software is up to date, as is the software on my macbook pro (running 10.5.8). the itunes version i use is 10.5.3.
    i used the voice memos function for the first time recently, have two recordings of workshops, one is 45 mins long, the other about 1 hour 15 mins long. when i came home, i connected my iphone to the macbook, launched itunes, checked the box under the music tab that said "include voice memos" and hit sync. when done syncing, i saw that under all the playlists was a section for voice memos, but nothing in it. my phone has the two voice memos, but the itunes, after syncing everything, does not. i repeat, this is despite having checked the "include voice memos" box.
    has anyone faced this issue before? is there any way for me to transfer these memos to my computer? any way to get the syncing to work?
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    hope the new year is treating everyone well so far. cheers!...r

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.
