Voice Memos will not start recording.

I can pull up the application, but when I tap the record button, nothing happens. The little dial that says "VU" doesn't move, the red recording circle symbol doesn't change to a pause or stop button. Is this an application error? Any suggestions?

I bought an iTouch 3rd Generation last March my voice memos worked fine in the beginning but eventually the app just quit working due to new firmware update. Ever since I updated to 3.0 or 3.1 (can't remember exactly) my voicememo application quit working... I just downloaded 4.3 and that did not fix problem neither. The icon for voice memos used to be red ever since I started udating firmware from 3.0 or 3.1 on it turned blue and it also quit working. Can't get dragon dictate to work neither... can anyone please help these apps are absolutely vital to me! I am really bummed out that i cannot use them... Thanks

Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

Voice memos will not play full recording

I have a 4 hour 46 minute meeting recorded but can only play the first 2 minutes and 2 seconds of the recording.
As you can see from the screen dump above the recording shows 4h 46m 9s but the player at the bottom only allows the first 2m 2s to be played. The recording will sync to my PC but again only the first 2:02 is copied across.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to recover the original 4h 46m recording?

I just had the same problem with a 2:10 minute voice memo only sending or playing back the first 12 seconds. theres nothing anywhere on the internet to help me. Did you figure out what to do?

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?

Voice memos will not play

The voice memos appear to have been recorded on my I-pod Touch as it list the date and length of the recording, but it will not play or sync the voice recording.

Voice Memo will not export into iTunes

I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and I have a 2008 MacBook running Lion with the latest version of iTunes 10.4.1. For some reason, I cannot get voice memos to import into iTunes. I don't know if length of memos has anything to do with this or not, but it hasn't been an issue in the past. In iTunes, I choose to manually import my digital media since the storage capacity of my current iPhone is relatively small.
I work as a vocational high school counselor. I like to record meetings with students so that the have an audio record of the things that we cover for college prep. The meetings can run fairly long, which is standard, I'm hoping that the length isn't an issue. Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you see a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes?
Check out page 162 of the iPhone User Guide.
iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos app until you delete them. 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.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod app on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
Connect iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPhone in the Devices list.
Select Music at the top of the screen.
Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

HT5470 My voice memos will not save

I cannot get any of my voice memos to save, what am I doing wrong?

I used to be able to save voice memos, convert them to mp3, copy them to an outside folder and email them as attachments. This was very useful as I teach ESL, and I could record my students, and email them their work separately with comments. Now, I can still convert the voice memos to mp3, but the 'Copy' function doesn't work. Any ideas?

Shared voice memos will not play on recipient's iPhone

My wife and I both have 16GB 3GSs. She's on 3.1.2, and I'm on 3.1.
If I create a voice memo and then choose to share it via email, when she receives the email on her iPhone, she's unable to play it. Her iPhone tells her taht it cannot play m4a files.
I think this is rather strange....
Any ideas?

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??

In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

Voice memos app not saving properly

I am using an iphone5 running iOS7.1.1 and performing the following actions will cause Voice Memos app not saving recordings. I have sent a feedback to Apple but is wondering if anyone else is found having similar problems.
1) Run Voice memos app and start recording
2) At lock screen open camera app and take a picture
3) At same lock screen delete the picture taken
4) Lock screen will show RECORDING in progress
5) Open Voice memos app and it will also show RECORDING in progress
6) Save voice memo from app and the duration FROM the point of picture deleted WILL NOT be saved

same here ... iPhone 3gs/32 gigs ram/ios 4.3.1 ...
the app doesn't seem to work any more, and hasn't for some time:
"buttons" are unresponsive, or they appear to respond, but don't perform their function ... erratic behavior ...
very disappointing as this has gone on for some time ...
We appear not to be the only ones ...
Anyone with a solution?
Thanks

IPHONE 5s w/IOS7 voice memo app not working - only records, but no option to play, save, edit

IPHONE 5S W/IOS7 - VOICE MEMO APP - CAN ONLY RECORD, CANNOT EDIT, DELETE, SEND, ETC. TOOK TUTORIAL ONLINE AND IT SHOWED ALOT MORE FEATURES THAN I CAN LOCATE. PLS HELP

First turn off all caps it's considered rude and as if your shouting.
try a reset, no data loss. hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait until your phone boots back up.
then check voice memo again.

Voice Memo does not work on 3g

The voice memo does not work. If I scream in to the mic it finally shows movement on the readout. But, when you play it back all you get is static noise where I screamed. Other wise, any normal voice speck is totally silent.
Actually it works with the iPhone head phones but not the mic in the phone it's self.

Yes, the low level while recording doesn't result in a low or weak "memo". Sounds fine and mails to my email as well . . . But !
I had a phone-message waiting two months, a little song-fragment I called home to leave with the hope that Voice-Memo would eventually save it for me. And it sounded better once mailed that it even did playing out of my cheap little land-line speaker ( I guess mic-placement is everything ! )
But the recording was 2 min 50 seconds and trying to mail it to myself brought up the warning that it was "too big" !! Luckily, the first 27 seconds was unrelated and expendable . . . and being able to trim it did the trick.
*So what's the size limit on a mailable Memo Apple people ?*
( It was 4.1 mb as attached to the mail )
Also, how odd is it that it was still "Sending" within the iPhone, yet already sitting in my iMac's email well before the "airplane whoosh" of sent mail sounded.
Hmm . . . . .

Voice memos are not transferred to my Mac

I am trying to transfer some voice memos from my iPhone to my Macbook. I select 'include voice memos' in iTunes under the Music tab. But all what is doing is to transfer voice memos from my Mac to my iPhone, not vice versa. After syncing when I check the voice memos in the side bar of the iTunes I do not see my iPhone's voice memos. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem. The voice memos do not transfer to my G5. Some people get a Voice Memo folder in iTunes but I don't. On the smaller sized memos I have been e-mailing them to myself and then they show up int iTunes. Once they get into iTunes I found them in a folder called Unknown Artist.
It would be really helpful if some one could fix this problem with the transfer. I have recorded my 99 year grandmother using this but because they are too long and the transfer doesn't work, I can't get them off my iPhone.

Voice memos are not sychronizing
