New voice memos not syncing from iphone to itunes

My voice memos are not syncing from my iPhone4 to iTunes. Everything has been restarted. Everything is up-to-date. The voice memo box is checked. What is going on? Thanks.

Hey Colonel,
I read this on another thread then confirmed it when I bought an App on my iPhone then did a sync. At first, it appeared that the App was being copied to the iTunes library, but when I checked under Applications, it was not there.
So I went to the File menu, and selected Transfer Purchases from iPhone. It again showed that it was copying to iTunes, and this time it really did.
Not sure why it's not automatic, but it's a minor extra step.

Voice memos not syncing to iphone

I can’t seem to get my voice memos to sync back to my iphone 5 from the computer. I have all the voice memo boxes checked. The “voice memo” playlist is not showing up at all. On the second playlist, made up of a mixture of a couple of voice memos and 2 other tunes, the playlist with 2 other tunes show up but the 3 voice memos do not come with it.

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.

Voice Memos not syncing from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro. Sync music is ticked in iTunes along with include Voice Memos box

Hi, I am trying to get my voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to my MacBook Pro via iTunes and it is not working. I have ticked sync music in the music tab of the iPhone device and the include voice memos box is also ticked. So, apparently this should work, but there is no sign of the voice memos in iTunes or in the iTunes folder in the finder window. Any ideas much appreciated! :-) Thank you.

IPhone (4) Voice Memos not Syncing to New iTunes 10.0

I'm currently on an iPhone 4 (4.0.1 firmware) and I've been experiencing issues getting my voice memos to sync to my iTunes library.
The last time this worked was August 27, 2010 which added 3 voice memos to my iTunes library successfully. Since then, I have not yet updated my firmware but have installed the new iTunes 10.0. I have 8 new voice memo recordings on my phone since the last successful sync, and I've tried syncing my phone four times today, Sept. 4, (restarting iTunes and my iPhone) with no luck. I tried recording a new voice memo to see if iTunes 10 would recognize any memos recorded after the installation but that failed as well.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Some Voice Memos do not sync from iPhone to Mac?

I recorded a number of meetings to my iPhone using the Voice Memo app. When I sync with my Mac, most of these transfer to iTunes, but a handful don't, for no reason I can see. I did not record them any differently from the ones that made it across. I tried emailing the missing memos to myself from within Voice Memo, but the email silently failed, perhaps because the files are too large (almost an hour).
I've seen other similar threads on the web - the suggestion to uncheck and re-check the "Include Voice Memos" box did not help.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
(My suggestion for Apple is that iTunes and Voice Memo need a big usability upgrade.)

In the music part of your iphone in itunes, uncheck the box for syncing voice memos. Then apply changes. Check that it is all gone on your iphone. Go back to itunes and check the box for voice memos and sync. Itunes would copy the voice memos back to your iphone in the process.
that worked for me. +Don't forget to update to ios 6 latest, as apple fixed (at least improved) the bug causing wrongly sync music/voice memos not appearing.

IPhone 5 long voice memos not synced in iTunes

Hi,
Today, I've recorded 3 voice memo longer than 3 hours long on my iPhone 5, iOS8.
I've checked "sync Voice Memos" in the Music tab of iTunes 11.4 sync, but those new memo don't get synced.
By the way, looking into the "on my iPhone" tab, I can't see the recordings. I can see older recordings, though.
I can play all the voice memos on the iPhone, including the 3 recordings of today.
I've tried to send them via email but they don't get through, probably because they are too big.
AirDrop on iOS8 doesn't seem to be able to "speak" with Mac Os X 10.9.4's AirDrop.
Any way I can get those big recordings transferred ?

Hi,
I found a solution.
Maybe it helps, if anybody has the asme issue.
Download iBrowse (http://www.ibrowseapp.com), and the recordings will be accessible, even those hidden by iTunes.
I could export my recordings with that software.
This is definitely a bug of iTunes or IOS, and if Apple reads this, they might want to fix it.

Voice Memo not syncing as advertised.

Voice Memos arent working right for me. I have them set to sync, but itunes never did sync them no matter what I did (I thought). So I manually created the Voice Memo playlist it was supposed to make for me, then it finally started automatically putting them in there. It actually was syncing the files over to my main library with just a time and date file name... but no play list and no easy way to find them all or manage them all without searching for each one individually.
Any change I make in iTunes does not change anything on my iPhone in the Voice Memo app. Deleting them from the playlist leaves them in my library, I have to search my library for the date names they are saved as and delete them from there. After deleting them from iTunes, it does not remove them in Voice Memo from my iPhone, they are still there. Syncing my iPhone puts them back as music files onto my iPhone, and they are still in Voice Memo separately... its very confusing because this isnt how Apple said its supposed to work. Maybe the playlist is set up wrong because I had to manually do it and it wont auto create one?

That's interesting. That was not my experience as I played around with Voice Memos.
Interestingly, even though I have the Include Voice Memos checked, voice memos that are in iTunes, but have been deleted from the Voice Memo App do not get synced back to the iPhone. With the box unchecked, Voice Memos don't seem to get synced back to iTunes at all.
I also can't seem to get the Voice Memos playlist to show up in the iPod at all.

mines not working like that at all... not even close.... i get multiple copies... also it will NOT create a Voice Memos playlist for me. I've tried over and over. If I manually create one called Voice Memos, it uses it, but I don't think its using it right since it keeps syncing the same memos every time to get multiple copies.

Voice memos not syncing

I'm trying to just transfer voice memos from the IOS voice memo app to my laptop.
Selected the device, then "Music" tab, then "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres," then checked "Include voice memos."
Then clicked "Sync"
Nothing happens. The voice memos are on the iPhone, I can see them in iTunes and on my iPhone. They do not transfer. It would be great to just select them and drag them into my Library but I guess we're not allowed to do that, we have to do it some really complicated other way.
I have transferred voice memos in the past, but every time it's like reinventing the wheel over and over again. Definitely not a straightforward set of steps. I find this baffling.
Another baffling issue, all voice memos show up under Device > Music (iPhone device in left column), but only some show up under Device > Voice Memos (again, left column).
Don't know what else to say, it just doesn't seem to transfer. What am I missing. iTunes 11, iphone 4S. Please help.

I rarely use voice memos, today I needed to. I had not checked the sync button previously, and of course my new voice memos didn't sync even after I tried again. By now I hope you've found a solution, but since it's still soon after your post, I found this info on a macrumors forum, which worked like a charm for me, so I hope it can still help you or someone else:
"This is how it was resolved on iphone...not sure if it will work for ipod
I found the solution on another forum (source is at bottom)...but basically I noticed that if i created a fresh new voice memo and then synced...then it worked. So the problem then became that older voice memos weren't syncing..
so the solution is to:-
go to each old memo and TRIM it (see the little blue arrow, far right of each memo..click on that arrow and trim by 1 second)..then when you sync ..it sees the voice memo as a new one and syncs it fine

IOS 7.1.1 Voice Memos not syncing

I have selected "include voice memos" under "Sync Music" in iphone.
Since updating to 7.1.1 my voice memos are not downloading to my computer.
I have logged-out of iTunes store and shut down iTune multiple time and disconnected phone from computer, ensured that my phone is unlocked prior to sync and transfer. All to no avail.
Of course its only two files that I am trying to get off of my phone, but still...
What am I doing wrong?

I really need help since I have an interview on my phone and need to save it on the computer. Greatful if anyone know any solution to my problem. Marit

Follow the specific steps to transfer voice memos from iPhone to Mac:
Launch iTunes on your Mac.
Connect your iPhone to a USB port on the Mac using the iPhone's included USB cable. The icon of your iPhone will appear in the left pane of the iTunes window.
Click the "Music" tab at the top of the iTunes window.
Click the "Sync Music" check box to select it.
Click the "Include Voice Memos" check box to select it.
Click "Apply." The voice memos you recorded on your iPhone will transfer to your Mac. They will appear in the "Voice Memos" playlist in iTunes. The voice memos will remain on your iPhone until you delete them using the iPhone. If you delete a voice memo in the iTunes Voice Memos playlist, it will not be deleted from your iPhone.

Voice memos not appearing in iphone playlists

Hello All,
I have about 100 voice memos recorded on my iPhone 3GS and which have successfully synched with my MacBook Pro, which i recently upgraded to Lion.
When I open up iTunes, there they all are listed in my Voice Memos playlist.
The voice memos are lists of french vocabulary and so I created themed playlists in iTunes on my mac and arranged the voice memos in the different playlists. When I open the playlists on my Mac's iTunes, they are all there.
I have synced them with my phone and the name of the playlists appears on my phone but when I open the playlists, they are empty.
I am manually selecting music and playlists to be synced.
i have checked the boxes for:
sync music
selected playlists, artists...
playlists (the specific playlists)
and in the genres topic, i have selected voice memos
i created a music playlist just now and that works fine, but not with memos.
HELP!!

Hi moodymiss,
Thanks so much for getting in touch with a suggestion.
Sadly, it doesn't work for me. I have no idea why not.
Frustratingly, when i tried it, some of the memo tracks appeared in the playist on my iPhone but not all. I have no idea why this is. All the settings etc in the "summary, info, options" tabs in iTunes are the same for the tracks which do appear and those which do not!
So annoying!
Any other ideas??
