Accessing Voice Memos from iPhone when the iPhone is Sync'd to another Mac

Don't know if this is possible but...
- Have an iPhone 4 sync'd to my home iMac and iTunes account - all good with lots of music sync'd (~16Gb worth)
- Want to use the Voice Memo functionality for recording work stuff
- Want to download/sync these Voice Memos to my work MacBook Pro that I have already authorised to access my home iTunes store account
When I attempt to sync music (only selecting 'Selected Playlists..." and check Include voice memos) I get a message stating that "all my current music will be replaced with songs from your iTunes library".......of which there are no songs on my Work MacBook Pro. So in effect I would lose all music already on my iPhone.
So it seems that I can only utilise the voice memos functionality (ie: download the voice files to a mac) on my iPhone 4 on the Mac/iTunes it is originally sync'd with. Seems rather counterproductive to me.
Does anyone know a way to do this without having to use third party software?
Thanks in advance!

An alternative would be to switch to manual management of your iPhone.

  • How do I sync my voice memos from itunes to my iphone 4?

    I had an iPhone 3GS and I went away from it for a while. Well it was the worst decision and needless to say I am back to the iPhone. I have resynced my phone but I have several voice memos in iTunes that I would really like to get back on my phone but I seem to be havingtrouble with that part. I made a folder and put them all in it. I cheked it for download but they won't go on my phone. Can someone please help.

    just posted this in another question, word for word.
    after you connect your iPhone, click on the 'video' tab at the top and scroll down. you should see sections for 'rented movies', 'tv shows' and 'movies'. select the things you want to sync, hit save, sync, and you should have your movies.

  • Itunes trys to connect to my iphone when the iphone is not connected to the pc

    At first I thought it was beause I didn't "eject" the iphone from itunes before disconnecting from my USB cord so I reconnected the iphone and ejected the iphone from within itunes.  Once my iphone disappeared from the list of devices I disconnected my iphone.  However, everytime I open itunes, itunes trys to connect to my iphone when it is not connected via the USB.  I get an error message saying itunes could not connect to my iphone - Duh! 
    Any help would be appreciated!

    A backup of a device with a newer version of iOS cannot be retored to a device with an older version.  The solution is to connect to itunes and update the new device's iOS, then perform a restore.

  • I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed?

    I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
    But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?

    Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

  • How to transfer voice memos from iphone to computer since iOS7 update

    Since upgrading to iOS 7 voice memos are no longer being transfered from my phone to my computer when I plug it in. This was a simple, automated process in the past, now I can't seem to get it work at all. Does anybody out there know if Apple dropped the backup function for voice memos from the new operating system?
    Frustratingly, I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with Apple "Support" and was told I was elevated to the highest level on this question. She actually told me that the "sync" process only ever went one way, from the computer to the phone. I asked her if that was the case, how did the old voice memos make it from my phone into the playlist in iTunes (that was created by iTunes for me) in the first place? She actually told me that it never worked that way! Please help!

    When I plugged in my iPhone, the memos were not transferred, but when I clicked on "Sync" in iTunes, it created a Voice Memos playlist and my new recordings showed up.
    This is the first time I ever tried using voice memos before.  It looks like syncing is done manually instead of automatically.  I got my answer from this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23658301#23658301

  • Transfer voice memos from iPhone 5 to mac iTunes without replacing all music on iPhone

    I have some new voice memos on my iPhone 5 as well as selected music from my iTunes.
    I want to transfer the new voice memos to iTunes on my mac but it appears that it will since my itunes library to my phone.
    The iPhone is connected to the mac.  i am in iTunes and I go to the Device listed as iPhone and click on music.
    When I click on the box that says Sync Music, I get a message that says
    Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies etc from this iPhone and sun with intones library...
    I click cancel instead of remove and sync.    In the sync music window in light grey I can see tha Selected playlists, artist and albums and genres is selected and include voice memos is checked.
    On summary I have Manually Manage Music and Videos checked.
    I just got the phone and i see on p 110 of the manual how to move recordings to your computer and it isn't doing what I want.
    I would like to move the voicemails to the computer without syncing the library and I would like to manually move some songs from iphone to iTunes on the mac.
    I also don't know if under Summary if I should check Sync only checked songs and videos
    Mac mini 10.5.8
    itunes 11.1.5
    7.1.1 iphone 5
    Thanks for any help.

    I think you need to find a third-party tool to copy voice memos from iPhone to Mac because iTunes can't do it. And the only option Apple offers is to backup your iPhone, either to iTunes or iCloud. However, by doing this, voice memos are packed into the backup file package. You can't view them until restore your iPhone with the backup file.

  • Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

  • How can I transfer Voice Memos from my iPhone to my computer?

    Dear Iphone users,
    I have a very nice Iphone. I know how to transfer the pictures on my Iphone to my computer but I do not know how to transfer my "audios" (from the "dictaphone" function in French). How can I do that ?
    Thank you very much

    iTunes automatically 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 application 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 application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
    Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
    1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
    2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
    3. Select the Music tab.

  • How do i download voice memos from my iPhone to my macbook

    how can i get my voice memos from my iphone to my macbook pro?

    In the Sync settings area of iTunes when the phone is connected, you check the Music area, and check off Voice Memos too. I'm not sure right now what the exact verbiage is but it is where you check off what music you want to sync.

  • How do I transfer voice memos from my macbook to my iphone?

    I had to back up all of my information from my phone to my macbook as I needed to restore my iphone to factory settings and would lose all my information. Now I want my voice memos back on my iphone and I am unable to sync them onto my phone. Not even through a playlist. Icloud says it cannot download that particular playlist. Please help!!!

    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 application 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.
    Your phone connected, iTunes running, under the Music tab, check "Include Voice Memos" and then hit "Apply".  Your synced voice memos will appear in a Voice Memos playlist, which iTunes creates if it doesn't already exist.

  • How do I transfer Voice Memos from my iPhone 5 to my PC?

    Hi!
    I recently got an iPhone 5 and I have a bunch of Voice Memos on it already. I already tried syncing the voice memos on iTunes, but when I go and try, it was ask me "Would you like to copy these voice memos to your iTunes library?", I would click 'Yes' and the syncing portion would instantly stop. Any clue as to why this is happening?

    Hi its pretty simple. So
    *First download the latest iTunes version and install it on the PC.
    *Plug in your Apple Device to your PC
    *The iTunes window will automatically pop up when you have connected your device, if it doesnt happen , open iTunes manually.
    *Choose Your device and there it would show you the "Summary","Apps", "Music","Movies" etc etc..
    *Go to Music and click on the option "Sync Music"
    *When you tick that option , the other options would be enabled.They are the "Entire Library", "Selected Playlists...", "include music videos", "include voice memos".
    *Tick only "Include voice memos"
    *Now it should start syncing and show you a separate folder saying Voice Memos on the Left side where all your other folders are there on itunes page.
    *You can access those audio files by going to the C:_Users*_My Music_iTunes_iTunes media_Voice Memos!!
    NOTE: IF THOSE VOICE MEMOS DONT GET TRANSFERRED TO YOUR PC , THEN IN YOUR DEVICE , NAME ALL YOUR VOICE MEMOS AND THEN TRY THE WHOLE PROCESS AGAIN.
    NO NEED TO BE DOWNLOADING THE ITUNES AGAIN AND AGAIN.
    Hope this helps You
