How to stop syncing voice memos

iTunes is driving me crazy because every time I sync my iPhone 5S 16GB it is importing my voice memos into my Library despite the fact that I have done the following:
the "sync only checked songs and videos" box is checked
the "include voice memos" box is UNCHECKED
all of the "genre" boxes are unchecked
I have no music on my phone
I am using iTunes 11.1.2.32 on my Windows PC and iOP 7.1.2 on my phone.
The only thing that I can report that works is turning off "Sync Music" entirely.
Related, the only strange thing I can report is that when I go to the Sync Music page in iTunes, when my phone is connected by the cable, and check the box for "Sync Music," the amount of space left on my phone drops from 3.34 GB to 2.89 GB -- even though ALL of the boxes are unchecked for playlists, artists, genres, and albums, and it says "0 Songs."
It is as if there's another whole category of songs it is syncing but it won't show it to me.
I went to the Apple store today and they had no clue.
Thanks for any ideas.

How many Gigs do you have on your computer? if you convert the voice memos to AAC which is possible after you put them on iTunes, they take up virtually no room.
When you plug in your iPod and a notice comes up asking if you want iTunes to put the voice memos from your iPod into your Library, selct "No".
If you want the voice memos to stay off your computer, your going to have to manage every manually, if you have iTunes manage automatically, it will delete the memos off your iPod because iTunes duplicates Movies, Music, TV shows, Memos, etc, from iTunes directly to iPod. Managing all material manually is a heavy price to pay just to keep memos off your computer. That's the way it goes. If any knows hows to keep the memos out of the Library but still keep on the iPod, that would be pretty intelligent of them.

    How do you sync voice memos and make CD's of them?

    When you sync the phone with your computer voice memos are copied to your iTunes library with the Genre "Voice memo".
    To burn to CD you do it the same way you would any music; create a playlist of the memo(s), the right click on the playlist and choose "burn to CD".

    iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to
    your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a
    backup if you delete them from iPod touch.
    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
    app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPod touch, it isn’t deleted
    from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from
    iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes.
    You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the Music app on iPod touch using
    the Music pane in iTunes.

  • How do I stop syncing voice memos to iTunes on Windows?

    I want to delete my voice memos on my Windows computer (to free up disk space), but leave the voice memos intact on my iPod. How can I accomplish this? (iTunes says that when I delete from my computer, the memos will also be deleted from my iPod, which I don't want to happen). Thank you for your help (I'm a new iTunes/iPod user).

  • Newly repaired laptop- how can I sync voice memos from to itunes from my iphone without erasing the contents of my phone?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help with this? MyDell laptop died and I had to wipe it and start all over again. I use voice memos a lot for work and I need to sync them onto my PC so I can email them to people. However, since I fixed my laptop and redownloaded itunes I can't sync my iphone without first erasing everything that's on it. Sigh. Please help!!
    MM

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    Try move your iTunes library folder from old computer to the new one.

  • How do I sync voice memos from an iphone 4s to my PC?

    i plugged in my phone via usb to my computer and then i authorised the computer for the phone
    and now, I want to transfer the voice memos from my phone to my computer so that I can listen to it there
    however whenever i click sync it says that i've synced the phone with another computer and the only way to sync is to erase everything on my phone which obviously defeats the purpose of me transferring my voice memos to my comp.
    how can i change the settings or whatever to get the memos to my computer and allow me to sync without erasing everything?
    is there any way without having to download some sketchy app to help me?
    i just want to change the settings of my phone to sync with this computer and still have my voice memos.
    any help would be greatly appreciated

    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 do I sync voice memos and notes?

      I use windows and will never use a MAC as I hate them and only like  apples Iphone.  I have an Iphone 5 and use version 11.0.2.26 of itunes.  I had an older Iphone 4g with lots of voice memos on it and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get itunes to sync the voice memos onto it and then put them onto my new phone.  Can anyone let me know how to do this?  Thanks. 
    Also - is there a way to sync my notes from my old iphone 4g to my new iphone 5 on itunes? If you know how can you please advise also - this would be much appreciated.  Thanks very much.  :-)

    You must have a supported program on your computer to sync with (such as Outlook or mac iCal).  The list of supported programs is shown in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296.

  • 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?

  • IPhone syncs Voice Memos after unchecking sync box in iTunes

    I do not want to sync my voice memos from my iphone to itunes so i have unchecked the sync voice memos option and they still continue to sync over and itunes creates a playlist for voice memos. I have tried this numerous times and even after a restore it still happens? Anyone have any ideas?

    It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
    Keep in mind that 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.
    The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

  • How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

    I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
    My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
    I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
    Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
    So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
    What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

    The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
    One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

    How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone5 to iTunes?

    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.
