Voice Memos Playlist Not Syncing

I've tried all sorts of things, but I can't seem to get my voice memos playlist to sync to itunes.
My workaround has been to make a new smart playlist, and have it add all files that contain "iPhone" but I would rather have it work as it used to.
Anyone else having this problem?

I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
Here ya go:
1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync, Voice Memos tab under iPhone blank

    I have all my iPhone music and videos manually managed, but somehow the voice memos got synced to my iTunes automatically each time I click Sync iPhone under the album "Voice Memos" and artist name "&MyPhoneName" which is fine by me. Is that normal? How to turn it on or off?
    Then I notice that some of the voice memos do not sync, and the Voice Memo tab under iPhone is blank. All the voice memos are still in my iPhone. How does that happen?

    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.

  • Voice memo playlist not on iphone

    my iPhone 6 plus has voice memos that i recorded on it. they are also in iTunes under the voice memo playlist.
    however, there is no voice memo playlist on my iPhone. i selected it in the syncing section in iTunes, but nothing. the voice memos are in the playlist, but nothing i do moves the playlist to my iPhone. which means i can only listen to the voice memos from the voice memos app- and that means that if i want to listen to them i cannot leave the vice memo app. if the voice memo playlist worked, then i could then i could listen to them in the music app and do other things on my iPhone.
    any help?
    i have osx 10.10.2 and ios 8.1.2

    i cannot add the voice memos to my iPad air either. when i click on iPad in iTunes and go to the voice memos bit at the bottom in 'on my device' they are greyed out and not syncing onto my iPad air. this used to work with my older iPhones and iPads.

  • Voice memos do not sync into itunes but ARE on iphone. How do I get them to sync into itunes?

    I cannot get voice memos to upload ( sync ) into my itunes library on my Toshiba PC.  Many do.....but many won't upload so I can burn into cd's.
    HELP!!!!!

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • Voice memos are not syncing

    I've used my iPhone 4 to sync voice memos to iTunes previously and it has worked seamlessly. My new recordings on a 5s are not syncing across. I have checked the sync voice memos box. Even within the 'on this phone' tab the recording aren't visible...just the old ones show up.
    If anyone help it would be appreciated...I have tried the other methods on the forum but they dont help such as trimming files.

  • 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.)

  • Voice Memos will not sync debacle

         This is an open thread many times over yet I see no orthodox solution. Apple, I address this to you. I have hundreds of voice memos on my iPhone 5s. I have over 900 of them relatively safely transferred to my Macbook Pro. But there are still sporadic unsynched/un-backed-up Voice Memo recordings that have not made the journey from my iPhone. They are stuck there. They are taking up all the space. I need them on my computer and they will not transfer. iTunes refuses. Computer says no.
    Include Voice Memos is selected.
    What do I do, Apple? What is this strange bug? How does one squash it? Come now, mighty Apple and work your sleek magic... tell me what to do. There is a direction I have neglected to wave my eyes in, or drag my thumb across the surface of some plane... you have stumped my intuition and my logic and my problem solving and I want to throw iTunes into a blender on a star to make the cake of flaming misery, I am so despondent.
    This is the meal you'd have me serve my kith and kin.
    Where's the big button that makes things work, Apple? Where's that special idiot-proof thing that stops things being dumb?
    Please. I beg of you. Mercy, Apple. Have mercy. I need my freaking voice memos, why is iTunes being arbitrary in its recognition of those I would want transported from my phone to my computer?
    And sorting them is another matter - please don't tell me I have to wade into my archives and edit tiny portions of these things, rename the files - one by one, to have the program recognise them as something new that it might drag them through the cable to the safe harbour of my laptop and possibly some external drive along the way... Two Apple products joined in holy technonomy by a freaking thunderbolt-usb... whatever the **** it's called cable - I mean for goodness sake - can I not simply migrate the whole freaking bunch of them to a folder? Why cause such widespread suffering and confusion?
    Help me Apple. Someone freaking help me. Help us all. Save us from losing our minds to the dementia of iTunes.  

    When you record a VM, does the VUY meter show the level?
    What happens when you try to play the VM? Does it appear to play but with no sound?
    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod?

  • Help! Voice memos will not sync!

    I have checked all the right boxes for my voice memos to sync, but still 1 out of 3 will sync. Why won't the other 2 sync??

  • Voice memos not showing up in voice memos playlist on itunes after sync

    I have synced my iPod Touch many times to iTunes, and usually find the Voice Memos right in the Voice Memos playlist where they should be. I have recently had to replace my hard drive on my MacBook Pro, and reinstall using Time Machine, which means many apps have to be re-introduced to the system. But I don't see how this could affect a sync between Touch and itunes. I still have many many voice memos to upload, but do not see evidence of them anywhere. Any ideas?

    I have tried every solution listed in this topic - unfortunately none of them worked I have a 46 minute voice memo of an interview which I needed to transfer to my computer. In the end, I found this software, PhoneView, which offers a free 7-day trial (no credit card needed or anything) and lets you transfer up to 10 voice memos. There doesn't seem to be a size limit because my 46min voice memo (20MB in size) transferred instantly. http://downloads.ecamm.com/PhoneView.zip
    Not really a long term solution, but if, like me, you are desperate to get one big file to your Mac quickly, then this is perfect.

  • IPhone syncs Voice Memos after unchecking sync box in iTunes

    I do not want to sync my voice memos from my iphone to itunes so i have unchecked the sync voice memos option and they still continue to sync over and itunes creates a playlist for voice memos. I have tried this numerous times and even after a restore it still happens? Anyone have any ideas?

    It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
    Keep in mind that if you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

  • Voice memos don't sync properly

    I'm very frustrated. I'm trying to sync voice memos from my wife's iPhone. iTunes simply refused to do so, no matter what I did. I synced. I unchecked and re-checked the "Include voice memos" checkbox. I deleted the voice memos playlist from iTunes and tried syncing again. Nothing worked.
    Then I stumbled across a suggestion to trim the memos, and that would be enough to get dumb iTunes to finally see the memos. The problem here is two-fold. The recording I'm working on is one of my wife's aunt who just passed away telling stories from her youth. I'm not going to trim a second of that, not when it's iTunes's fault that this isn't working. The second problem is that it's 45 minutes long, and it's physically impossible to trim only a second of that on the iPhone's small screen.
    So what I did was to select nothing to trim, and hit the trim button anyway. That seemed to be enough to fool iTunes into thinking it was a new memo.
    So what's the problem you ask? Now I have the opposite problem: iTunes is syncing the memo EVERY TIME! I've synced the phone four times now and I have four copies of that voice memo in iTunes. I'm worried that after a year or so I'm going to have hundreds of copies of this voice memo in there.
    What's going on? What can I do?
    ps-before you mention it, I can't email the memo to myself, because it doesn't like a memo of that size.

    It's true, I could do this, but I'd like to figure out what the problem is. Clearly iTunes is not behaving properly (this can't be how it's intended to work), so I'd like to know what I need to do to fix it. I'll test how it works on future memos, but in the process of working on this I searched and found dozens of other people with this problem and no real solution anywhere. I feel it's important to add more voices to a problem until it's heard and fixed.
    Thanks for the help, though, I'll do that just to make sure the recording is backed up sufficiently.
