Comment to "How do I get a memo onto my iPhone?" -- more elegant solution

Since I can't post a reply or comment to my archived post, I thought this might be an alternative.
Even though Tamara had a solution, software now available for the Mac and iPhone gives a more general solution.
iPhone Explorer lets you use an iPhone or iPod touch as a USB or pen drive. You can create, delete, and rename files and folders, and use drag-and-drop. OS X 10.5 or later. From www.iphone-explorer.com (myPodApps) It's free.
Good Reader is one solution to read those files and many others (like e-books and PDFs) on your iPhone. It's in the app store. Normally $4.99, was on sale (may still be) for $0.99.
I've started to use both. I have no financial interest in either product.
Hope this helps someone else.

Well that's Cool.
Here's what usually pixxes me off.
Apple promotes a app, and they never tested it.
Some tried almost made it out the window at 90.
So, I think this is commendable that an app that's needed and tested at the same time deserves an automatic star magnet for the fridge.
Unless you can't fine the door handle anymore.
Cheers

HT1296 I purchased a macbook pro online this fall and had iWork and iLife apps pre-installed when I purchased it. How can I get these Apps onto my iPhone 4s without paying for it again?

On my iphone those apps still require me to purchase them.

The MacBook versions run on a Different Operating System...
You will need to Purchase the iOS iPhone versions

How do you get Voice Memos off the iPhone and onto my Mac???

Is this yet another iPhone dead end??
I used the Voice Memo app that comes with the iPhone to record some rehearsals and now I want to move them to my Mac, edit them, make CDs, share online.
I can't find any way to get them off the iPhone, unless I click the "Share" button, which means I can email them. But, it won't let me email the longer ones. I don't know how large the files are, but it just won't do it. I don't see any other facility for moving these files to my Mac. What is up with that???? iTunes provides no access to these files.
Is there some proprietary utility for the Mac that will allow me to access these files and move them to my Mac??? It would be nice if the iPhone would show up as a mounted volume which I could then browse for files, but that would make too much sense and be contrary to the control freak nature of Apple and it's iPhones/iPod Touches. I would call it another lousy user experience, but it's just a user non-experience, a complete dead end.
Is there any way to get these Voice Memo files off of the iPhone besides emailing them??

Thank you for replying!
That kb article refers to the iPod Nano and not the iPhone nor the iPod Touch.
The Synchronizing section you pointed to does not work. I have a big bunch of voice memos on the iPhone. I tried the sync. Three of them were moved to the Mac, the rest were ignored. Four others were moved to iTunes Music/Music/Unknown with numbered names (i had given several of the voice memos names with the Custom label on the iPhone). For the synch I selected "Include voice memos."
After a sync, or several syncs, none of the other voice memos were moved to the Voice Memo playlist, nor are they in the iTunes Music library.
How do you get them to sync? I need to move them off of the iPhone and onto my Mac!

How can i get a CD onto my iPhone from my computer?

I Just got a new CD and i loaded it onto my computer (its on iTunes) and when i plug my iPhone in it wont automatically download the CD. How can i get it onto my iPhone?

Hello there, justinlove143.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the how-to steps for syncing your music to your iPhone:
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386
To sync via USB:
Sync using USB
Open iTunes.
Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable.
Click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button first.)
Some tabs may not appear if you don't have the corresponding content in your library. For example, if you don't have any podcasts in your library, the Podcast tab won't appear.
Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

How do I get my music onto my iPhone 4S it's not in my iTunes

How do I get my music from iTunes it's not showing in purchased like it usually does

You can sync the songs to the iPhone using iTunes on your computer. This video will give you a better idea of the syncing process.
If you want to download it directly to your iPhone, just authorize the iPhone and look for past purchases.

How do I get voice memos off an iphone which hasn't yet been synced with my computer before?

I know that voice memos can usually be transferred to itunes by syncing my phone with itunes however the iphone I am using has never been plugged into my laptop. When I plug it in it gives me two options: to restore from a backup or to set up as a new phone. Both options mean wiping all the data currently on my iphone. The voice memos are a total of 3h30mins which I would rather not have to email to myself in 105 two minute clips! I know there is software available for extracting files from iphones onto PCs/macs but I'm not sure what will work with a phone that hasn't been recognized by the computer before. I have also in the past wasted almost $100 on an app (desperately trying to retrieve lost voice memos!) which did absolutely nothing, so I'd rather not waste my money buying an app unless I know it will definitely do what I want it to do. Please help!

To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar. Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

How can I get my music onto my iphone 4S

I hae just purchased an iphone 4s and can't seem to transfer my music from my computer to it. Never had this problem with my old iphone 2. Most of my music is CDs which I have transferred to itunes on my home computer (an imac, still running leopard) when I open the music folder on the iphone 4s it just says I have no content and have to purchase music from itunes. There is no ipod folder on the new iphone 4S like on my iphone. I really want to get my music as I have some great stuff and don't want to purchase it all again from itunes.

The iPod app is now called "music".
Is Apple ID set up on your phone and is your Mac still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
Can you select the music in the music pane in iTunes, or is it grayed out?
Any restrictions set in Settings/General/Restrictions?

How do you get voice memos from iphone onto itunes with MANUAL sync?

Ok, the iphone voice record function... I can't get the voice memos onto itunes or my computer. I don't use the autosync function, I like to manage my music and such manually.
I cannot find a way to manually access the voice memos on my iphone through itunes. Many of them are too large to email so I'm stuck.
The only option seems to be auto-sync, and if I do turn on the sync function at this point, itunes will completely erase my iphone and the voice memos I've recorded on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Any tips?
I've looked at a lot of posts and haven't found anything to help here. Just a bunch of posts complaining about how bad the voice recorder feature is integrated into the new iphone 3.0 software.
i'm using a 32gb 3gs.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm not quite sure if there is a solution to this.
I have the same desire as OP, but yet I do not see my voice memos automatically syncing when I have manual sync selected. I also do not see a playlist folder or anything that indicates voice memos have transferred. Am I missing something? Is there no way to get voice memos onto the computer without having to autosync it?
If someone can provide more details on how to do this, that'd be great. But it seems at this point that I cannot get voice memos onto my computer through iTunes with manual sync on.

How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?

How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?
Problem: when I click Sync I get a warning stating "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Jarrod Vassallo’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."
I don't care if the iPhone syncs with the laptop (and the music is lost), I just cannot afford to lose the Voice Memos too as they are very important. Any suggestions?

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How can I get my comments imported along with the pictures?

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How do I get my comments?

First make sure you've added the comments you want to show in the Add a Description field in iPhoto or in the Title field. If you put them in the Title field and you envoke the feature in iDVD you won't have to delete the title from each slide to give you just the desciption. Or batch remove the Titles from all the photos before you add them to the iDVD project. You can allways get them back with the Photos ➙ Batfch Change menu option later on.
Click on the cog wheel menu button at the bottom and select Show titles and comments checkbox.
Happy Holidays

Click on transfer purchases only works for purchased apps and music, but NOT the music rip from CDs or other sources.
For transferring music other than those purchased from iTunes, refer to the following:

In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome. The only extension I have is Google docs. I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer? People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
Thanks!

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

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

All you have to do is enable iCloud on your phone and turn notes on. They should automatically appear on your phone.
