3GS Voice Memo appears in phone will not sync to iTunes

Yes, I'm on an antiquated phone but refuse to switch until a real 4G iPhone is released!
I recorded a very important interview yesterday. No matter what I do it will not sync to iTunes on my MBP. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 with all updates applied.
I have gone through the recommended steps in other threads such as:
Consolidate my library.
Deleted playlists and re-created them.
Deselect sync items - sync - select sync items - sync
No go to all options. The memo is 30 minutes and too large to SMS or mail. Fortunately it's still on the phone, but i need to get it to my Mac to edit excepts and publish. Any suggestions?

No, it does not.  It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer.  The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync?  Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device?  FYI, nothing.

  • My phone will not sync with itunes

    itunes wil not sync my music to my iphone
    i uninstalled itunes and downloaded a new one
    it will backup my pnone, but as soon as it starts to sync it says it cant find the device on the iphone

    Connect your iPhone to your computer, open iTunes, go to Devices (on the left side) and double click Devices. A window should come up on the right...It has Summary, Info, Music, etc on the top. Go through each tab and see if you have checked all the sync boxes that you want.
         At the bottom of the page it says 'sync' or 'apply'
         You may have to go to your 'playlist' and check the boxes that you want to go to your iPhone, to sync to your iPhone.

  • My phone will not sync in iTunes since I installed ios5.

    I keep trying to sync and it says "waiting to sync" and then I get a message that says my phone could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.

    Hi Byron,
    I was having the same problem, few days back. I rebooted my device, but it did not work. Then I uninstalled the iTunes. Upon again installing the same iTunes, it started to sync. But today again I am facing the same issue. What do u suggest?

  • Phone will not sync with iTunes (5 and 6)

    I posted this about a month ago and didn't get any help. Maybe a second time around will do the trick. Below is the original question. I don't want to keep restoring my phone to factory settings in order to sync music, so any other insight would be helpful. Thanks.
    Hi - I'm sure this is more of a software or iTunes question but whenever I connect my iPhone to my computer, iTunes for some reason won't sync at all with my iPhone. I noticed this when I had the iPhone5 and recently upgraded to an iPhone6. I tried importing music and photos but it will just not work. I also tried checking sync w/ wifi and sync selected songs and photos only, but it won't even go as far as saving those settings on my iPhone. My iTunes indicates that it is syncing for about 1 second and then it'll go back to normal like nothing happened. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! By the way I am currently running mac os x version 10.6.8. My laptop is a little outdated and won't let me update iTunes or my software to a more recent version. Unless I'm being naive and missing something else here.
    Thanks again,
    Gerardo

    I was able to fix a problem where iTunes 12.01 would not recognize my iPhone or iPad but the device WAS recognized in iPhoto.
    Another website gave me the hint to download and re-install iTunes.  I did this and it worked.  (I also restarted both the Mac and iPhone and iPad afterward for good measure). 
    Here is the URL for download:

    My phone will not sync with itunes without 10.6.3 itunes which is not compatible with the software that is currently on my mac book. However, My mac does not have a software update available. HELP

    It would help if you told us which version system software you have on your Macbook and which version of iTunes and what system requirements say on the side of the phone's box you actually need.

    Is your iPhone connected to your computer using the lightning cable or are you doing WiFi sync?
    Sometimes the iPhone doesn't show up in the side bar if you're using WiFi syncing, if its not working, then be connected to your WiFi on your phone and on your computer (Same network) let me know how it's going, if it doesn't work still. Turn your phone off and on again and put in your pass code then try to sync it (keep your phone unlocked and not in sleep mode) tel me if it appears in the side bar.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

    My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

    If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes.  You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful.  Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

  • Phone will not sync to new pc. dont want to sync and loose data on phone

    I loaded software on my pc – pc was stolen – all info is on my phone but not new pc.  New pc has a different name and now phone will not sync and keep current info, I don’t want to lose my data on phone.  I have changed my password many times – if I use new password in Itunes store on pc it works but will not work on phone.  Apple ID is different on phone.  How do I fix all of this?

    It seems that I have multiple ID’s and 2 email addresses.  My email address changed and I did so on iTunes but when going on to store it asks for password and still shows old email address.  ID on iphone is the old email address and I don’t remember the password.  How do I fix this.  I cannot login on iTunes on my phone.

  • Phone will NOT sync calendar

    I just bought this very expensive phone that I have spent the last 2 days trying to get to do the simplest task. I should have kept using my reliable Palm PDA. My I-Phone will not sync from my calendar to my phone. I have read every discussion on here and tried many solutions, but nothing has worked. In fact it has gotten worse. At the beginning I at least got a few, very few, appointments to sync, but now nothing works. I feel like it is something very simple in the way the phone or Outlook is set up since some people get theirs to work right away and some after some trial and error. Right now I just want to throw mine out a window. Does anyone have any step by step instructions you would share with me? I am willing to work through steps, trying one thing, then another. I just want it to work.
    PLEASE HELP!

    I figure I'll get the contacts to sync correctly before I pull my hair out with the contacts. So, syncing my Outlook 2003 calendar to my iPhone's driving me crazy. I tried the Apple instructions, but it still is acting strange. The first calendar entries I made worked fine -- setting a bunch of recurring daily events -- but then I tried to enter events that occur on the first Thurs of each month, or the 3rd Monday of each month, and that's when I started having trouble. Sometimes they sync to the phone, but in the wrong week/day slot, sometimes they are missing altgether. One of the great advantages of having this iPhone is to be able to work between calendars, contacts, email and phone applications. If it won't sync correctly, I should have spent a lot less money and gotten something that would else. I'm still naive enough to think that it will work.
    Actually, I should be able to sync Outlook to the iPhone or the iPhone to Outlook. But that doesn't seem to work right either. Do I need to take everything off and start over?
