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??

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.

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 are listed on the Playlist on my computer, but do not sync to my IPOD Touch so that I can listen on another device (stereo, dock station, etc.) When I click on the one that transfered over, a grey screen shows up "No Music" Help1

Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my Ipod, but a grey screen comes up "NO Music". How can I listen on a device? Like, my car or my dock station/ radio.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

Why can I not get my iPhone Playlist to match on my iPad and PC. I want my iPhone Playlist to appear on my PC and my iPad.

Yes I understand the PC is where everything is maintained and my playlists used to reside there and that is where I created them. However, they are now gone and only appear on my iPhone and I am trying to figure out how to get my Playlists to show back up on my PC so I can manage the songs.

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

Voice memo not working

Recently the Voice Memo function on my iPhone is not working. When I click on it I get the 'microphone' icon, but when I switch on it collapsed back to main screen. The guy at Genius Bar suggested that I should 'restore iphone' my iPhone settings.
When I got to do this I get a message saying "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased." This sounds v scary, not sure of consequences and not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello John,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I concur with my colleague at the Apple Store, we may need to restore your device. Furthermore, we have great utilities in place to avoid data loss while restoring: backing up with iTunes and/or iCloud. I have included information about how to do so, along with a step-by-step guide on restoring your iPhone:

How can I transfer a sound file from my "Voice Memos" app on my iPhone to my iPad?

In iTunes with your iPhone connected, click on the iPhone device, select the Apps tab, scroll down to the File Sharing section and pick an app that plays Quicktimes ("Files Connect" works in this example, but I'm open to suggestions of better apps for playing transferred Quicktimes) and drag your Quicktime from Finder to the Documents pane for the File Sharing app. Once the file transfer is complete, go to the app on your iPhone to play the Quicktime.

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.

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?

IPhone 4 Voice Memos not working/saving

Hi there,
I'm having trouble with my voice memos too. Up until yesterday they were working fine and now, even though the record button works, the stop button does not and I can only pause them. Worse again is that the button to go into the menu to view all voice memos is not working so I can't play them from my iPhone and nothing new is saving to my iTunes. Please help!

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.
