Edit/Combine Voice Memos

The easiest way to edit/combine voice memos on ipad 2 or iPhone 5?
I need to edit voice memos that are currently stored on the built in Voice Memo tool/app.
Thanks for your help!

I'd like to combine them into one memo.  Is that possible?
iTunes does not have a way to do that.  You can do it with an audio editor.  A free one that many people like, and which has Mac and Windows versions, is Audacity.

  • How to copy (edited) voice memos from iphone to itunes

    This is a similar question to one that I have already asked, perhaps simpler, though. Imagine I have just recorded a voice memo on iphone: how do I copy it to itunes? Is it done via backup or via sync, and with what options turned on/off? Does it work even if I edit (trim and/or rename) the voice memo on the phone before copying it?
    Thank you.

    I was having a similar issue and I if I understand correctly, I think this is a solution for others..
    in itunes with iphone plugged in, go to summary tab. click "manually manage music.." and apply. Then go to "on this phone tab" and you can actually physically delete the voice memo playlist or individual voice memos. This appears to have finally worked for me..or at least the voice memos playlist doesn't persist under the "on this phone tab" anymore....not sure it made a huge difference in my iphone available space.

  • 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.

  • The iphone and itunes shows a short version of a voice memo instead of full. only by pushing edit i see the whole thing. how can i see and export the full thing?

    I recorded a voice memo but in itunes and also in iphone i can see only a hort version of my record. if i push edit, it shows the whole thing. How can i export the whole thing and listhen to it ? It only plays the 3.5 minutes instead of 35 minutes...
    Please help ... it is a really inmportant record of a doctors.

    this one is actually a really rare symptom of a flaky connection to the ipod on a Windows PC. there's more going on in terms of hardware on nanos and 5th gens than in the earlier models ... so if the connection is flaky to precisely the right/wrong degree, itunes will see the ipod, but misidentify it as an earlier version of ipod.
    tracking down the cause of the flakiness can be tricky ... as you already know ...
    just checking. have you tried connecting with a different (known-good) USB cable? does that seem to have any impact on the rate of occurence of the problem?

  • How do I rename voice memos that were on iPhone 4 and are now on iPhone 5s

    Hi - I've got a hold load of voice memos that were on my iPhone 4 which I did not label at the time.  Now I'm trying to do some housework on my 5s and would like to label said memos but I can't.  Any ideas please?  Many thanks.

    You can email it to yourself by opening the conversation, tap Edit, tap the voice memo, tap Forward, choose your email address from your contact.  You can open this on your computer and the attachment should play in Quicktime.

  • IPhone Voice Memos Interrupted By Incoming Calls

    I notice that every time I use my Voice Memos software on the 3G(s), if an call comes in, the Voice Memo stops recording and I won't know it till I look at the phone later. Is there ANY way to stop that for that not to happen and you can have perhaps the calls go directly into voice mail so that the Voice Memo feature doesn't get interrupted? It's useless to me otherwise.
    Thanks for anyone's input!

    The voice recorder application - just like every other iPhone application, native or 3rd party - will shut down when you receive a phone call. The iPhone operates under the assumption that the device is first and foremost a telephone.
    As far as work arounds go, you can always put the phone in airplane mode when you need to use the voice recorder app uninterrupted. This will send all incoming calls directly to voicemail.

  • 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 - visually low decibel level

    Hi all,
    I just bought a brand new iPhone 5s (coming with iOS 7.0.2) and I'm overall very happy with it. But when I opened the Voice Memos app and tried to record something I got a little bit worried that my mics might not be working properly or hopefully it's just a software thing.
    First of all, I've already read quite a few threads both here and in the other forums about this app crashing down or not finalizing the recordings properly, I haven't tested it out yet. I have a different concern, when I tried to record my voice at a normal distance holding my iPhone in my hand streched out approximately 1.5 feet away from my mouth and speaking as I usually do (not too loud but kind of just like when having a conversation in a non-noisy environment), the waveform depicted in the app stayed almost flat which according to a scale on the right hand side means less -10 dB (or negative infinity as it would usually be gauged on professional sound equipment). I don't really think it's normal since the waveform is supposed to be useful for editing memos and it seems like the waveform will be visible either if the sound source is loud or close.
    I'm particularly anxious for two reasons. Firstly, I often have to record stuff because I'm a student and a musician so I really need my mics to work properly. Secondly, I've had bad experiences with mics on other Apple devices. At some point the mic on my iPad 2 became very insensitive. I almost had to put it an inch away from my mouth for it to be able to record anything. Then I learned that vacuuming the mic helps but only for a while. It couldn't be judt dust or anything because at some point it would suddenly relapse into this condition the following day without gradually becoming less sensitive, it was just a snap and it wouldn't work well. Then something similar happened on my iPod 4th gen but I didn't even try to vacuum it. I dropped both of these devices but this problem appeared on my iPad befor that I believe. So I'm really worried about these mics problems being a seemingly common issue with Apple devices.
    So I was wondering if anyone has similar problems/concerns. I haven't tried recording something really loud maybe such calibration will come handy. In my trial of the app I could hear the recorded sound (as if coming from a distance but quite passable). So I hope it's a software calibration rather than a hardware issue. I decided to carry out a test and since the volume of the sound is a difficult thing to reproduce in the exact same conditions I tried to set it up so that some of you might be able to repeat it if you want to compare our results. So I bought 'Blurred Lines' by R. Thicke on iTunes, a popular song these days, playbacked it on my iPod 4th gen at maximum volume (oops just realized I have an iPod volume limit set up at about 75%) placed at various distances from my iPhone 5s so that the iPod's top faces the iPhone's bottom.
    Here are the results:
    1 foot away - negative infinity
    8 inch - almost the same
    4 inch - topping at -10 dB
    2 inch - -7 dB
    0 inch (almost touching each other) - -3 dB sometimes going up to 0.
    And by the way in the right hand corner there's a speaker sign which I assume means recording with a bottom mic for calling or the mic that's near the camera. The results are basically the same. And one more thing, when recording videos I get clear sound.
    So if you got to the end of this post I know my experiment is kind of complicated, I just like to have this scientific approach. You can try to repeat it if you have time and can set up all the same conditions but otherwise any opinion/information will be very welcome.
    Thanks in advance!

    For iphon 5 after the last update, to listen to your recored voice memos, you have to tab the speaker symbol on the upper right corner of the file page. You can also use the bluetooth or headphone to listen to your recordings.

  • "voice memos" on ipad3

    I use “voice memos” on my ipod alot so am disappointed it is not included on Ipad3.  The itunes store has some apps but receive mixed reviews. Any recommendations re finding an equivalent app to "voice memos" which comes with the ipod please? I record up to 3 hours at a time, sync to itunes (sometimed edit in garageband) & then add to my music playlists.

    What format are these files encoded in?  You can check by right->clicking on a track, choosing Get Info, and looking under the Summary tab.
    Do these Voice Memos play okay in iTunes?

  • Naming voice memos on iPhone 3GS not working.

    I have an iPhone 3GS
    I have many voice memos. I try to name them by pressing 'custom' then naming them, but once I quit the application, it NEVER saves the names. Does anyone know why? I know I'm doing everything 'right'; they appear named after I do this, but never after I quit and reopen the application.

    It has been reported that Apple decided to block developer access to libraries using external display on iPhone 2G, 3G and 3GS and iPods 1st, 2nd and 3rd generations.
    While I understand some potential limitations on hardware capabilities for earlier models, the iPhone 3GS can output to TV from Apple private applications such as iPod, YouTube and Pictures/Videos without any problem. I strongly suspect that it is Apple strategy to force people to upgrade to new hardware. I personally find that limitation for the 3GS rather unjustified if it is based on technical limitations (no comment if it is a purely marketing strategy)
    From their technical documentation: [[UIScreen screens]|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/uikit/reference/ UIScreen_Class/Reference/UIScreen.html]
    screens
    Returns an array containing all of the screens attached to the device.
    Not all devices support external displays. Currently, external displays are supported
    by iPhone and iPod touch devices with Retina displays and iPad. Older devices, such as the
    iPhone 3GS do not support external displays. Connecting to an external display requires an
    appropriate cable between the device and display.
    Availability
    Available in iOS 3.2 and later.

  • 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!

  • Voice memo

    Hi,
    You, i.e apple, have a serious problem with voice memo/volume control. For example, if you´re listening to music and switch to Voice Memo to record whatever, and then go back to listen to your music, volume control is not working, and the volume is on FULL FU**ING BLAST!!!! Fix the problem before someone sue your a** for giving them a serious case of tinitus, which I already suffer from. And for the record, I'm using your Beats wireless with noice cancellation.
    Regards,
    Peter

    Updated info since I can't edit this sh**t:
    Hi,
    You, i.e apple, have a serious problem with voice memo/volume control. For example, if I'm listening to music, in this case on Spotify, and switch to Voice Memo to record whatever, and then go back to listen to my music and turn it in on with the play control on my Beats wireless headphones ,without first closing Voice Memo or switch to my music app, volume control is not working and the volume is on FULL FU**ING BLAST!!!! Fix the problem before someone sues your a** for giving them a serious case of tinitus, which I already suffer from.
    FYI, volume control don't seem to work with Voice Memo whatsoever.
