How To Sync Labled Voice Memos with iTunes?

I've found evidence of this problem, in closed threads on these boards, but no real solution. Naming voice memos, in either the iPhone app or iTunes, doesn't result in the name transfering to the other device. In fact, after many hours of careful labelling of my voice memos, iTunes simply overwrote the Custom Label names I had entered, ruining days worth of work.
Can anyone please provide a workflow? The current implimentation is a disaster, Apple. Shame on you!

An iPhone 5 requires iTunes 10.7 (minimum) which in turn requires OSX 10.6.8 (minimum) which in turn requires an Intel Mac (which you have).
1) Make sure your computer meets Snow Leopard technical specifications - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575 This mostly means making sure it is an Intel Mac and has at least 1GB RAM (at least 2 GB is recommended). Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window to "About This Mac". To check RAM continue to "More Info...". It should say you have at least 1GB of "memory".
2) Buy a Snow Leopard disc from Apple online

http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard - UK
or telephone Apple. In the USA: (800) 676-2775 (contact information for other countries: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57)
Alternatively you can buy from online retailers but anticipate paying much more than the original price which is the price still charged by Apple
3) Backing up your computer before upgrading is always a good idea.
4) After installing from the DVD, update your Snow Leopard installation using Software Update or manually downloading and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v.1.1 - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

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.

How do you rename voice memos in iTunes?

I'm trying to rename my voice memos in my iPod via iTunes, but when I sync renamed voice memos back to my iPod, it doesn't not transfer the name. It works if I name voice memos using my iPod and transferring it into iTunes, but not the other way around. I have so many though, I would love to be able to do all the lableing in iTunes. Is there a way to make it work the way I want it to?
Also, I read in another thread that I can organize my files if I make it into a music type file instead of a voice memo... but the thing is I don't want them to be mixed in with my song library. I want them to stay in their own separate place.
If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

Hi, heymelody : I have the same question asked above and i would like to know your secret way to lable my Voice Memos on my iPod Touch, and hopefully also so can see same description lables on my iTunes on my Mac computer.
Thanks.

How to sync old voice memos from ipod Touch to computer

Due to a computer crash I lost all the voice memos on the computer. So, I wanted to sync the voice memos still on my ipod touch to the computer again. Unfortunately, sync music, include voice memos, doesn't do the trick. How can this be done?

Since the original computer crashed did you do the following:

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library and your new (or rebuild computer) is a new computer/iTunes library.

How to sync a voice memo inside an itunes playlist to iphone?

Hello there.
Here's a tricky question and could find the answer nowhere.
I synced my iPhone with iTunes.
My Voice memos are on iTunes.
I deleted them from my phone. They're still on iTunes.
I create different playlists on itunes with my voice memos in them.
I check the "include voice memos" case for syncing.
...and the voice memos do NOT appear in my playlists on the iPhone! They're back in the Dictaphone app, but not in Music.
How can I deal with that?
Thanks

OK. How do I take them OUT of the voice memos playlist. They are listed under Albums and the album name is VoiceMemos. I tried going into the get info section of one of them and tried to change it manually there to no avail. All I want to do is add ONE single voice memo (a recording of me singing a specific song to someone) to a playlist so that I can then burn that playlist to disc. This is REALLY annoying. Yet another reason that I should switch to Android. >:(

How do you transfer voice memos to itunes?

I am trying to transfer my voice memos to the latest version of iTunes but I cannot find a way. It used to be simple with the older versions, but now I am having trouble.

It hasn't changed. Check to sync voice memos on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings, then sync. iTunes will create a Voice Memos playlist that contains your voice memos.

How do I save Voice Memos from iTunes to Macbook? When I updated.....

When updated my software today to 6.1.3 the voice memos were GONE off of my iPod but they were recognized when I synced it when plugged back in. They imported into the voice memos folder in iTunes but they are no longer visible on the iPod. They are extremely important and captured some special moments from my son's childhood, so I desparately need to either get them back onto the iPod so that I can email them to myself or somehow create a hard copy on my computer somewhere. I'm not sure if the files are ONLY stored in iTunes or if they are lurking somewhere on my computer that I'm unable to locate. Any advice you could give would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

The are only stored in iTunes now (since they do not appear on your iPod) and can't be imported back into the Voice Memo's app on the iPod. Go to the voice memos in your iTunes libary and righ click on one and select Get Info. The bottom of the Summary tab gives the location of the file.Go thee and do what y want with it.

How to transfer the voice memos from itunes on PC to iphone?

I need to know how i sync my iphone 4s with itunes when i already have my ipod touch synced to it??

my ipod touch is already synced to my itunes. i want to sync my iphone 4s. when i plug it in it says there is already an ios device synced to this computer, do you want to 1. set up as new phone or 2. restore from the back up of my ipod....what do i do? and will this effecy my ipod??

What itunes is asking is would you like to import the files and settings of your ipod to your iphone? It'll import things like contacts, calendar, mail, apps with app data. If you want your phone set up just like your ipod then use that option. Otherwise pick "set up as a new device" and it'll allow you to keep the two seperate and you will be able to sync them both to your itunes independently of each other.

How do I email a voice memo from itunes?

Hello, I want to know how to pull a voice memo from itunes and save it or do whatever I have to do so I can email it with my yahoo.com email account. Thank you.

Had the same prob myself.....didnt get a lot of help here so trial & error did the trick.
Had voice memos but wanted to keep some.
Clicked on the voice memo playlist link & that showed me the list in itunes
Put cursor onto the memo i wanted to be rid of & right click.
Looked down the options available.
Spotted delete, whacked that & that memo was gone.
Did that to all the ones i didnt want.
Dont know if it will work on the voice memo bit in the playlist index.
Also altered the sync settings to stop the phone reloading to the PC.
PS
Just flicked to itunes playlist index.
Right click on voice memo & delete was an option if you want to bin all the voice memos.
Hope this helps you out.

Syncing Voice Memos to iTunes - Workaround

Not everyone can sync their voice memos to iTunes, and no one really knows why (or cares). Here is a workaround.
Part One - Email the Voice Memo to Yourself
1. Select the voice memos application.
2. Select the voice memos list (button in lower right hand corner).
3. Highlight/Select the voice memo to send.
4. Select the blue Share button (lower left corner).
5. Select the gray Email button.
6. Address the email to yourself and select the Send button (upper right hand corner).
Part Two - Save the Voice Memo to Your Computer
This part varies for everyone. I am going to assume you know how to save files from your email to your computer.
Part Three - Add the Voice Memo to iTunes
1. Open iTunes.
2. Select: File / Add File to Library. Choose the voice memo you downloaded to your computer. Click Open.
Note: the music file will be saved as an 'Unknown Album / Unknown Artist'.
3. Right-click on the file, choose Get Info. Choose the Options tab.
4. Change the Media Kind to Voice Memo (the Media Kind should automatically add a check mark). Click OK.
5. Double-click to re-open the file.
6. Right-click on the name, choose Get Info. Choose the Info tab.
Note: You now have a chance to re-name the file anything you want.
7. Use the Name field to re-name your memo.
Part Four - Add a Voice Memo Playlist.
1. Select: File / New Smart Playlist...
2. Click on Artist and choose Media Kind from the drop-down list.
3. Click on Music and choose Voice Memo from the drop-down list. Click OK.
You can now use Voice Memos and iTunes as promised in the Users Guide.

UPDATE - Apparently large files cannot be mailed out. So far I can verify that a 27 minute memo cannot be mailed.

Problem syncing voice memos to ITunes from IPhone 4?

Recorded Voice Memos will not sync to Voice Memos in ITunes. After connecting the IPhone, I tried Transferring Purchases, then Backup, but they do not appear in the ITunes library. Have been having this issue since latest update on 25/4/2014. I tried unticking and reticking reference to Voice Memos under Music.
Your advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi mallee fowl,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to transfer Voice Memos to your iTunes Library. On the Summary pane in the sync settings make sure your Manually manage music and videos in not check marked and when you sync your iPhone a playlist should be created called Voice Memos in iTunes. Please use the following article for reference.
iPod: Recording voice memos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
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.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Syning iphone voice memos to itunes

I am having trouble syncing iphone voice memos to itunes. I am selling my iphone and need to ship it off, but I really want the vocie memos. I went to the music tab and checked include voice memos. I have backed up and synced my phone after,and I cannot get the voice memos playlist to appear on itunes. I have emailed some to myself, but some are too large. Please help

Yes, you can! You need an app on your Mac called Phone View. Download it, check the "show all files" option(or words to that effect) in prefs, and look under voice memos. Be careful not to delete any iphone system files, but if you follow the instructions you will easily see a section for voice memos. Drag the relevant .mov (this seems to contain the sound data) onto the desktop and then into itunes.
Quick, wireless, and no sync required. I did this for one voice memo of a conference that got stuck on the phone, i.e., it wouldn't sync in itunes, and it also wouldn't play from with the voice memo app on my phone.
Hope this helps.
