How can I get a Voice Memo from my iPod to my PC?

I record discussions with coworkers on my iPod Touch because I have trouble taking handwritten notes.
The trouble is that the Voice Memos playback screen is small, and the Scrub control is so small, that it's hard to use with any precision. I wind up going back two minutes in the recording when I only need to go back 30 seconds, that kind of thing. It's very time-consuming transcribing notes when I listen to much larger portions of the recording than I need to, multiple times.
To make things worse, the Scrub control in Voice Memos is very near the Delete button.
All I want to do is move or copy this recording off of my iPod and onto a PC at my job, so that I can listen to it on a larger player that's easier to use. Needless to say, I'll manage to play an unprotected audio recording on my PC one way or another.
My "real" iTunes installation is at home. Can I move the file from my iPod into an otherwise empty iTunes installation at work? I'd also like not to erase my iPod by syncing it to an empty iTunes installation; been there, done that.
I've tried Messaging these recordings to friends with iPhones to be able to see the recordings as an attachment to a Sent Message. This gets me a larger QuickTime player, but there are drawbacks with needing to Message a 24-minute recording to a friend with an iPhone.
I would also be happy to be able to use this recoding in a larger player on my iPod without the silly business about Messages that is cited above.
Thanks.

Thanks Caramby.  I actually found another work-around
Here's how to copy the voice memo to your laptop (and then email it if you need to):
With iTunes open on the Voice Memo folder of your device (an iPhone 4s in my case), simply drag the required file from iTunes and onto the desktop of your pc/laptop.  It won't remove the file from your device but simply make a copy.   Then you can play the file from your pc/laptop (through Quicktime) as the file is in AAC format.  You can also attach the file to an email for sending.
Hope this helps someone else.

  • How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 laptop please?

    How do I transfer a voice memo from my Ipod touch to my windows 8 PC please?

    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

  • How do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch

    how do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch?

    Are you trying the "sync" the Voice Memos to a computer other than your syncing computer?  If it is to your syncing computer just follow the instructions in the Users Guide.  If to another computer you will have to make a backup of the iPod on that computer and then restore the iPod from that backup and then sync to the computer.

  • How can I get my voice memos back to the voice memo app on my iphone

    Yeah, i just synced my iphone with my iTunes library and almost everything went smooth..  my pictures, apps, contacts, calendar, etc.  But I can not find the most important thing, the voice memos..  I had transferred them to my iTunes library the last time i synced, so i thought logically they should sync back into my voice memo app. Its important because they were lectures (im in college)!  And I planned to keep in order until the end of the semester until i had to restore it and back it up (because i went to get a new iphone)..
    But now, i open the voice memo app, and its blank, there's not one memo..  And i don't know how to get them back in there..  I think i could put them in my Music library, but i dont want to do that.   I like to keep them in the voice memo app, so when i have exams i can just go back and listen to them in order (without them being all over the place.) 
    So all I'm asking is, is there a way to get my voice memos back to the voice memo app?  I have the latest version of iTunes (11.0.1.12) and an iPhone 4 with the latest iOs (6.0.1) and note i have a PC (Windows 7)..    I hate how iTunes totally changed their layout, it makes it harder.  That's why i couldn't follow older discussions on here, because the update made the layout so different..  Anyway, if you know what i should do, i would be very grateful.  Thanks. 

    Hey mahongue!
    I have some information here that may help you import your voice memos into iTunes. This information is written for the iPod, but the steps for saving your voice memos should be the same with your iPhone:
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.

  • How can I get my voice memos off of my iPhone?

    I have a new iPhone and took some pictures and recorded a few voice memos.  I would like to save these before I restore my iPhone to the back up I have on my computer.  I was able to import the photos into iPhoto, but I am not sure how to import the voice memos.  Normally, I would see them in iTunes under the Voice Memos playlist, but they are not there.  When I click on the iPhone in iTunes it gives me a choice of restoring from back up or setting up as a new iPhone.  I am worried that either of choices would get rid of the two voice memos I have on my iPhone.  Any advice?

  • I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3.  How do I get the voice memos from my phone?  I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

    I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it.  My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do. 
    Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3. 
    How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer?  All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos.  Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes? 

    Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

  • How can I get the Voice memo's source computer file to keep the original file name?

         I ran out of space in my iPhone some weeks ago and I've been cleaning up. I am pretty much done deleting the photos and apps. The only thing I need to finish is erasing my voice memos. I already synced my music/voice memos with my computer, the only problem is that when I get the files from the iTunes media it changes the name and makes it extremely hard to organize. I want to upload this files to another website so I can access them freely.
    I would REALLY appreciated if anyone could tell me how to fix this or if you have another method please tell me.

    This is pretty straightforward.
    If the file isn't too big you can just read the entire file contents:
    set fileContents to read file "HD:path:to:the:file.txt"
    Once you've read it in, you can iterate through it with a repeat loop like:
    repeat with eachParagraph in (paragraphs of fileContents)
      -- code here to process each line
    end repeat
    Within the loop, eachParagraph represents each successive line in the file, so all you need to do is pull out the data you want. Now your subject says that your file is tab-delimited, but your example uses commas, so you may need to adjust this script depending on what's actually the case:
    set my text item delimiters to tab -- or "," as appropriate
    set firstName to text item 1 of eachParagraph
    set lastName to text item 2 of eachParagraph
    set emailAddr to last text item of eachParagraph
    -- rest of code here to send an email
    The last thing to do is to reset the 'text item delimiters' to their previous value so you don't end up getting confused.
    So, putting that all together you end up with something like:
    set fileContents to read file "HD:path:to:the:file.txt"
    set oldTIDs to my text item delimiters -- additional code to remember the current TIDs
    set my text item delimiters to tab -- or ","
    repeat with eachParagraph in (paragraphs of fileContents)
      set firstName to text item 1 of eachParagraph
      set lastName to text item 2 of eachParagraph
      set emailAddr to last text item of eachParagraph
      -- rest of code here to send an email
    end repeat
    set my text item delimiters to oldTIDs -- restore the TIDs for cleanliness
    Note that this should work for reasonably-sized files (up to a few thousand records). If it's much more than that you may need something a little more sophisticated to read the file progressively rather than all at once.

  • How do I export a voice memo from my iPod touch to my pc?

    Windows Explorer recognizes my iPod Touch as a camera only, and shows image files only via Explorer.  I cannot figure out how to export from iTunes.  I would like to copy or export a 50 minute long, 24MB voice memo to my hard drive.  The voice memo is an interview my 11 year old son did of my father for school.  Well worth keeping.  Too big to email or text.

    That is covered in chapter 23 of the Users Guide:

  • How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?

    How do I get a voice over from garage band into Final cut x?  Sorry if this is a newbie question.  I have been editing in final Cut express on my MacBook Pro and just jumped to a new iMac and Final Cut ProX.  Trying to record my own voice on a Yeti mic and import it as narration for a video.  Thought I could simply import media but X has it greyed out.

    Sharing with iTunes is OK, but it is likely to produce a file in MP3 or AAC, which can cause problems. You can create an AIFF version of an MP3 file in iTunes and use that.
    To create an AIFF version, go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General Tab. Click the Import Settings button. Choose Import Using: AIFF Encoder. Then choose your track, and click FILE/CREATE AIFF Version. Use this in FCPX. Be sure to go back into iTunes Preferences and set the import options back to where you had it, so the next time you rip an CD it does not make an AIFF.

  • How can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?

    how can i get the all values from the Property file to Hashtable?
    ok,consider my property file name is pro.PROPERTIES
    and it contain
    8326=sun developer
    4306=sun java developer
    3943=java developer
    how can i get the all keys & values from the pro.PROPERTIES to hashtable
    plz help guys..............

    The Properties class is already a subclass of Hashtable. So if you have a Properties object, you already have a Hashtable. So all you need to do is the first part of that:Properties props = new Properties();
    InputStream is = new FileInputStream("tivoli.properties");
    props.load(is);
