HT201706 how do I recover a voice memo that didnt finalize due to low battery shut down in the middle of the recording?

iOS 8.1.2 battery on ipod touch died in the middle of recording a voice memo. Now I found the file but the file wont play and I cant email it. I get a message that says its being optimized for sharing at this time. That optimization never happens. What's up Apple?

However, I doubt yo can do it because file was never closed. A data recovery company might be able to help. It is not Apple fault. You let the battery fully drain. Just like if you were copy a file to a thumb drive and the computer died before the transfer was complete

How do I retrieve lost voice memo that WASN'T backed up?

While updating to the new IOS 7.1, my phone froze and went into recovery mode. I had to do a reset and update and then restore from a backup file which took upwards of an hour. Oh joy. I try to back up my Iphone 4s to my Macbook often so I didn't lose too much during the reset except for a very important voice memo.
My question is, is there any way to retrieve that voice memo lost during the update if it wasn't backed up? I've tried iExplorer and some other data recovery software but they are only able to extract what is already available on the phone or from a previous back up. I called into my local Apple store and they referred me to a super expensive data recovery specialist. I've heard of USB sticks, Iphone Data Recovery sticks that are supposed to be able to retrieve old data from when you first bought your phone. But they are expensive as well and I'm not entirely sold that it'll work for me.
Does anyone know of any alternative methods? Or if it's even possible to retrieve lost data after a reset? I'm desperate to get this voice memo back so thanks for any help!

No. It's gone. And you can ignore the spamvertisements that are sure to pop up touting data recovery software. The only thing they are going to recover is your money... straight into their own pockets.

Is there any way to recover a voice memo that was not backed up but accidentally deleted?

Today I accidentally deleted a very important voice memo in the blink of an eye. As I forgot to back it up I know this is probably not possible and I understand that. Is there any way to recover this?

I had exactly the same problem, I was trying with some software of wondershare but wasn't possible, so, it seems like we lost that important info!.

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?

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 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.

Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.

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.

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
