Voice memos not syncing with iTunes

My voice memos stopped syncing to my iMac's iTunes software since the beginning of November. How do I fix this?

The follow is backed up in iCloud:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books

Try syncing Voice Memos from the Music tab in iTunes.

  • HT1386 Voice Memos not syncing with iTunes iOS 8.1 (12B411) iTunes 11.4 (18)

    My phone is an iPhone 5.
    I have tried everything I can think of.
    Any voice memo older than last week will not transfer to my itunes on my mac.
    I just recorded 2 new ones and they transferred fine.
    When I open up itunes on my macbook pro and click on "On This iPhone" all my voice memos don't show up even though I have over 30 of them in the phone.
    Only the last 2 show. And when I go to itunes music library only one shows up which is the one I just recorded as a test.
    Any sugestions?

  • 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.
    JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, POST WHICH FIRMWARE YOU ARE RUNNING EXACTLY!!!
    I'm on an iPhone 4, running firmware 4.0.1

  • 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.

  • How do i convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12?

    I need to convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12.

    Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from an Android smartphone that had created that sound file minutes earlier.
    After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a sound file (a whopping 352 KB) to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch running Yosemite).
    Clicking on the sound file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
    However, when I selected the file on the desktop and navigated to the Finder/File/Open With dropdown window, a dialog box opened with alternative applications to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each opened and played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.
    Apparently, Flip Player Pro (which I do not own) has a "save as" feature that might help you convert the file to the format you desire.

  • IPhone 5 not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3

    My iPhone 5 (version iOS 6.1.4) is not syncing with iTunes 10.0.3 ?
    When I plug my iPhone 5 into my Mac Pro (version OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3) the iPhone 5 syncs with iPhoto but not iTunes ?
    The phone 5 is being charged via the USB cable into the Mac Pro, I can import photos via iPhoto from the iPhone 5, but I can not get iTunes to sync with the iPhone.
    I have gone through all the steps in the "iPhone not appearing in iTunes" support assistant link with no luck:
    iPhone not appearing in iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/itunes/#section_1
    Does anyone have any suggestions ?

    I finally got iTunes to sync with my iPhone 5
    I followed the step by step instructions in this archived support article:
    Archived - Mac OS X v10.6: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3540?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If the issue remains, try these steps:
    Disconnect the device and quit iTunes.
    In the Finder, locate iTunes in the Applications folder and drag it to the Trash. (This will not remove any of your iTunes media or your iTunes library.)
    Choose Go > Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/Extensions
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "AppleMobileDevice.kext" and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the Mac.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks
    Click Go.
    Locate the folder "MobileDevice.framework" and drag it to the Trash.
    In Finder, click the Go menu and then choose Go to Folder. Enter the following location into the text field that appears:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    Click Go.
    Locate the file "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig" and drag it to the trash. (Do not move the similarly named "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" file to the Trash.)
    Restart the Mac.
    Download iTunes and reinstall it. Test to see if the issue persists. Then, restart your Mac a final time to confirm issue is still resolved.

  • My Ipod will not sync with Itunes - PLEASE HELP

    I have a bunch of songs on my ipod that I have from my previous computer and they will not sync with Itunes on my new computer. I have authorized the computer, I have also selected the "transfer purchases from ipod" option, I have spent the last day reading through FAQs but have found no solution. How do I fix the problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

    The transfer purchases option only works with music purchased from iTunes and you don't say if this is the case.
    Here's some other option for Windows users.
    First, try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • I had my iphone stolen which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes but not synced with itunes on my computer.Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost?

    Hi,
    I had my iphone stolen a few weeks ago which had quite a lot of music on that I had downloaded from itunes via my phone but had not synced with itunes on my computer.
    Is there any way to access the music now or is it lost? Thanks x

    By any chance, did you have the Find My iPhone app installed prior to it being stolen?

    Hopefully you had your iTunes purchases backed up to an external source such as an external drive or CD's?

  • My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is off

    My first generation AppleTV will not sync with iTunes anymore.  I get an error message that says: "The Apple TV is not responding Check that any firewall software running on this comptuter has been set to allow communication on port 3689"  firewall is turned off.. Any ideas?

    Thanks Rudegar,
    I only synch and do not stream off of my 1st Gen AppleTV
    I will try with ethernet but will be a pain in the butt if i can not fix it with wifi for long term fix
    I may end up trying to do a named IP address vs DHCP for this appleTV (not sure if i can do both and do not want to remove DHCP as i have a bunch of sensors and other devices that I prefer to dynamically add to the network via DHCP vs. assign each one
    Will keep working on other fix options (factory reset, etc.)
    Thanks again

    I followed the instructions in those 2 articles. Still not able to see the device in ITunes. I reinstalled the latest iTunes and all updates to my iMac (Mac OSX ver 10.6.8). I tried 3 different USB Cables in different USB ports. Rebooting both the Iphone and IMac. Still nothing seems to be working. I searched the discussion boards and I see other people with the same problem but they seem to run into the same problems finding a solution. I dont understand what happened because this was working properly up until 2 days ago. Do you have any more suggestions?
