I can't get voice memos off itunes iPhone 4

iTunes 10, Iphone 4. I have deleted the voice memos from the Library>music but they are still there under Devices>iPhone>Music. They are also not on my iPhone when I launch the Memos app. I have tried checking and unchecking the "include voice memos" and have sync'd after checking and unchecking. I am out of ideas and have not found any help googling. Anyone else run into this problem?

I'm having this issue as well.
I have a number of voice memos that follow my iPhone back ups every single time i upgrade my phone.
I have about 10 voice memos dating back to 2010 that are not visible on my phone via the voice memos or music app, but in iTunes > Devices > Music OR iTunes > Devices > Voice Memos, i can see and listen to them.
I don't have any way of deleting them either, as the delete option via "Edit" is greyed out and the "del" key doesn't do anything either, and as i mentioned above, the voice memos are not visible inside of the Voice Memos app either.
Currently on an iPhone 5 but these voice memos have existed since purchasing my iPhone 4 in 2010.
Invariably someone will always suggest "why don't you wipe your phone and start fresh?". This isn't a solution to the problem nor should it be considered. I'm not about to lose my contacts, messages, save games, and all of my other personally generated data just to delete 10 voice memos which SHOULD be easily removed via iTunes.

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!

Can I get Voice Memos out of iPhone without adding them to my Music Library

I don't want Voice Memos in my music library. Is there any way to get them out of the iPhone? Why can't I see the iPhone in the Finder when I connect it to my Mac? I want to navigate its file system directly & get my Voice Memos.

Why can't I see the iPhone in the Finder when I connect it to my Mac? I want to navigate its file system directly & get my Voice Memos.
Because the iPhone does not support disk mode as is supported with most iPods.
The only option that is supported for transferring voice memos to your computer is syncing with iTunes. You can transfer the voice memos out of iTunes followed by deleting them from your iTunes library.
There are some paid 3rd party utilities that may provide for this.

How do I get voice memos off an iphone which hasn't yet been synced with my computer before?

I know that voice memos can usually be transferred to itunes by syncing my phone with itunes however the iphone I am using has never been plugged into my laptop. When I plug it in it gives me two options: to restore from a backup or to set up as a new phone. Both options mean wiping all the data currently on my iphone. The voice memos are a total of 3h30mins which I would rather not have to email to myself in 105 two minute clips! I know there is software available for extracting files from iphones onto PCs/macs but I'm not sure what will work with a phone that hasn't been recognized by the computer before. I have also in the past wasted almost $100 on an app (desperately trying to retrieve lost voice memos!) which did absolutely nothing, so I'd rather not waste my money buying an app unless I know it will definitely do what I want it to do. Please help!

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).

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.

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.

I tunes will not sync voice memos off of Iphone in yosemite

I just updated my macbookpro with the new Yosemite update. However, It won't let me sync voice memos off of my phone! I tried the same thing with my music library and I can only add to the iphone. It will sync music and voice memos on but not off. Photos and videos have come off my iphone so it is not an issue of nothing can be taken off. I have tried fiddling with new itunes forever but I just can't figure it out!
Oh and also it won't sync my contacts off my phone either....
If it helps, it is an iphone 4 so that may be a problem?
Please help, Thank you!

I use a program called iTools. It's an alternative for iTunes and it's more like import/export type of thing rather than sync. I like the windows version better but the Mac version works ok too. And it is free
It should look like this:

How can I transfer Voice Memos from my iPhone to my computer?

Dear Iphone users,
I have a very nice Iphone. I know how to transfer the pictures on my Iphone to my computer but I do not know how to transfer my "audios" (from the "dictaphone" function in French). How can I do that ?
Thank you very much

iTunes automatically syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
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 application until you delete them. 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.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod application on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
1. Connect iPhone to your computer.
2. In iTunes, select iPhone in the sidebar.
3. Select the Music tab.
4. Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

How can I transfer voice memos from my iPhone 4 without syncing and having all music/video/audiobook content deleted from my phone?

I would like to be able to transfer several very long voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC. They are too long to email to myself. I manage music manually, so the phone doesn't sync automatically. I have also not checked off "include voice memos" in my music sync preferences because of a warning that pops up which suggests that I will lose all the music, video & audiobook content on my phone and that it will be replaced with all iTunes content. (Several of the audiobooks on my phone were transferred in directly from my library system's audiobook service & I will lose them permanently if they are wiped off the phone.) Is there a way around this? I am able to transfer photographs directly to my computer because my PC recognizes the iPhone as an external disk and I was able to locate the photo folder, but I have no idea of where to look for the voice memo folder in order to transfer them in the same manner. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

How can I get my music off my iPhone and into the iTunes library?

My computer broke down a long time ago and I lost all my music, the only place I have any of it now is on my iPhone. None of my songs were purchases. I haven't updated my phone since I got it a year ago, I deleted and backed up everything on my phone except for my music because I can find no way how, and I still don't have enough space to update. Some of the songs I have on there, I can't get back if I delete now, not anywhere. Why is there not a simple, built in way to back up music??? This has been driving me insane forever, I really just want to get my music back into iTunes again, or get it onto the computer I'm currently using, somewhere, anywhere, at this point. Is there any way to do this without downloading some program that you have to pay for to get to work?

How can I get my photos off my iPhone 3 eventhough I don't have a sim card any longer?

I have an old iphone (pre iphone 4) and moved to Sweden. I want to get my photos off the phone, but no longer have any Sim card of any kind. Is there any kind of workflow or solution I can try to get them to my MacBook Pro? (My itunes says it can't read the phone without a sim). Any help would be much appreciated!!! Even if I could use my wi-fi to access the device? or blue-tooth??

I know the photos are on the phone, I can see all 915 of them. Itunes can now see the phone, but I'm afraid to update or sync with the phone as I believe it will delete the photos off my phone. I used to be able to get the photos off using Image capture, but Image capture no longer see my phone in the device list. That was my problem before I moved to sweden and chucked the sim. I used to mail the pictures to myself, but now that obviously doesn't work. I have image capture 6.1 and read on wikipedia there is a 6.2 but I can not for the life of me find it anywhere. Isn't there some app that should be able to transfer the photos over? I have iphoto and aperture, but they don't see the device either (using OS 10.6.8 on my macbook pro btw). These pictures are of my daughter, I just can't bear not getting my hands on them. Help!

How can I save voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MAC?

I recently updated to the 4s, but really need to save the memos because they are mostly of my deceased Father. I am very concerned that I will lose these memos. Thanks.

You're gonna have to get that version in an iTunes library that does not currently have the Navigon app in it. So, you could delete the current Navigon app in your iTunes library, move all files to trash when prompted, then empty your trash. Then, connect your iPhone 4 & File>Transfer Purchases. This should put the version on your iPhone 4 in your iTunes library. From there, you can sync it to your iPhone 3G...assuming this version will run on your 3G.
You can always re-download the version of Navigon, you deleted, later.

Can I get calendar information off of IPhone without syncing?

I would like to export my calendar info from my IPhone before I sync with google calendars and contacts. I have my contacts synced with google, but am unable to get the calendar info off without losing it during the sync. Is there a way to do this? I want to avoid losing all of my calendar data on my IPhone when I sync with Google Calendar. Can I do this without having to reenter everything manually?
I have also backed up everything in Itunes, can I just pull the info from there with a restore? Nor sure what to do.

One thing that might help out.
In order to sync calendar events to a windows computer, you would need outlook 2003 or 2007.
If you tried to get them back by doing a restore from back up, you would over write the google exchange information and be back in the same spot you started.
Hope this helps.
