I sent a voice memo to another iPhone but they can't open it. What am I doing wrong?

I tried sending a voice memo to a friend's facebook email, but she couldn't open it. I tried converting it into an mp3 format on the desktop, but it still won't read on her phone or on mine when I try to open the attachment I sent. How do I get a voice memo file into a format that I can send to an email or post on facebook?

If they are like me and have no interest in the latest version they will not be able to open the attachment. Pages 09 will not open the later version.
If they don't have Pages and are using some other word processor they also can't open the attachment.
Safe way to send attachments, choose PDF from the mail options in the share menu.

  • Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they are still on my iphone when I open Itunes

    Hi, I have the iphone 4 and I manually deleted all the voice memos on my iphone but they still appear on my iphone when I open Itunes on my computer and they still take up space. I am soon running out of space. Any ideas to permanantly get rid of some of the voice memos?
    Am I the only one that really dislike the fact I cannot customize my iphone and cannot delete whatever files I want?
    The only options i seem to have is to delete all my files WITHOUT a system restor because I tried doing a system restore  and it puts back all my old files on my iphones.
    I'm pretty desperate and any tips would help me a lot

    If I understand you correctly, you purchased two albums directly from your iPhone and have successfully transferred the purchases to your iTunes library, but now you want to remove these two albums from your iPhone but having trouble, correct?
    If so, you can manually delete the albums (song-by-song) by sliding your finger across each song's name, from left to right, then select the Delete button.
    Or, while your iPhone is connected to iTunes click on the Music tab that you see in iTunes (where you specify what items to sync to your iPhone). At the bottom of that window (below Playlists, Genre, etc.) you'll see songs that are "manually" added to your iPhone, just un-check those and re-sync.

  • HT3529 I had a iphone 4s with imessage activated, I switched to android and now I can still text other people with iphones but they can't text me. What can I do?

    I Had an iphone 4s with imessage activated,  I switched to an android and now I can't recieve texts from iphones that have imessage turned on. What can i do?

    iMessage works by linking your Apple ID with your phone number
    When you send and receive messages to and from other iPhone users who’ve also got iMessage activated, they’re sent and delivered over the internet as iMessages rather than as SMS
    Non-Apple phones can’t receive iMessages so if you no longer use an iPhone, you need to deactivate it. This lets iPhones know to send you messages via SMS instead
    If you’ve got access to your iPhone
    Ensure your phone is connected to the internet (3G or Wi-Fi) so that the changes will sync with your Apple ID.
    Go into ‘Settings’.
    Tap ‘Messages’.
    For ‘iMessage’, move the slider to ‘Off’.
    If you don’t have access to your iPhone
    Go to supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do.
    Log in with your Apple ID and password.
    Select the product you need to de-register (your iPhone, for example).
    Click ‘Unregister’.
    You’ll see the message ‘Are you sure you want to unregister and delete this product?’ – Click ‘Unregister’ again.

  • I cannot send a copy of a document that my partners can open.  I have saved it to iCloud and sent a link, but they can't open it.

    I have a new Mac and I cannot send an email copy of a spreadsheet to my partners that they can open.  Have stored it in the cloud and sent a link, but they are still unable to open.  Help

    Are you using Numbers? Are they, or are they using Microsoft Excel? (in which case you would have to export it as Excel). Are they perhaps using a different version of Numbers? (You can also export to Numbers '09 format).

  • TS1347 My Outlook is set up and I'm trying to import contacts from my iphone into Outlook with no sucess.  What am I doing wrong?

    I am trying to import my contacts into Outlook from my iphone.  I can not get it to work.  My Outlook is all set up and running...

    IIf you previously had items backing up to the iCloud, changing to the new phone will take a while depending on how much data and apps your restoring to the new phone. If your like me with 1,000's of pics and videos, it's gonna take a while. Make sure your phone I plugged in, your on wifi and let it do its things. If you see all your apps updating, then it's doing something. If this is not your issue, then it could be the phone froze up. I have the 6 plus and recently switched from the 5, and it took a long time to restore from the cloud. Restoring from iTunes is quicker I guess, but I didn't have that option at the time and was dying to use the new phone I eaitrd 2 weeks for. Anyways, good luck and I hope I answered something for you.

  • My grandkids are visiting us in NJ from another state, but they can't connect to our WiFi.  How do we get them to connect

    I know I have a WiFi connect, because I checked with Verizon to confirm the User ID, Password, and Encrypt Type, but our grandchildren can't seem to connect with the iPad Touch, or our son with his iPhone.  Advice, anyone?

    Have you ever successfully connected anything to your wifi router? Is your network name being broadcast by the router? Is your network name showing up on their devices as available wifi signals? What happens when they click on your network name in the available signals on their device(s)? Are they typing in the correct password, keeping in mind the password IS case sensitive.
    Not much help we can give with the limited amount of information you have provided.

  • HT1694 When I send an email from my iPhone 4s on my hotmail account, the reply from that person will only show up on my iPhone and is nowhere to be seen in my inbox on the computer. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    Need help with this as it's starting to get annoying.

    You need a separate email address but you've already ruled out that solution.

  • My phone told me it needed more storage - especially to update my iPhone iOS.  I decided to as more per month. It's still telling me it's almost full and I can't update. What am I doing wrong?

    My phone is telling me it's almost full. Also I have and update to the phone that says I don't have enough storage. I updated this month to a lot more. It's still telling me I need more storage. I don't understand.

    Ok and thank you. I did delete a LOT of photos and moved all my music just into my icloud and got rid of apps - really cut it down. i tried deleting music from my library and it won't let me and I have this update thing and I'm not sure what to do.

  • I cannot click on "find my iphone" app on my mac...what am i doing wrong?

    I have the app on my phone, but I can't get any further as the cloud won't let me set it up on my macbook. Who knew trying to click on something could be so hard!

    On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud.
    Make sure Find My Mac is switched on. "Find My Mac" is the service that can locate your iOS devices.

  • Once I played music on my iPad, and I open another app it will not have volume. What am I doing wrong?

    Once I play music on my iPad, any other app like a game it will not play audio.... What can I do to fix it?

    First, we are all users her. Apple makes only an occasional appearance. Second, if you want help, we can do that, but you will need to settle down and provide more information on the problem and what you have tried to do to fix it. Threatening abandoning your iPad doesn't help you solve the issues you are facing.
    What app were you using when it crashed?
    Is your iPad usable now?
    If yes, what did you do to fix it? If no, what have you done to TRY and fix it?
    The more details you can provide, the better we can help narrow down the problem and recommend a solution.

  • My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" to my iPhone. What am I doing wrong?

    My calendar reminders do not seem to be "pushing" from my MAC to my iPhone via iCloud. Any thoughts about what I am doing wrong?

    It sounds like you did a lot of burning with your Mac.
    Set top DVD players are designed to playback commercial, pressed DVDs with very low error rates. As a result, many models have very limited error correction capabiities.
    Writable DVDs can contain a lot of burn errors causing problems in these players.
    For best results, you need to use quality media (Maxell or Verbatim) and NOT media like Memorex.  You need to burn at low burn speeds - 4x is good, 8x may be OK.  If you are burning several discs you MUST allow your burner to cool down between discs!

  • Itunes not seeing all the voice memos on my iPhone 4s

    I want to sync all my voice memos from my iPhone 4s to iTunes but when I plug my phone into my macbook air, the section that says voice memos only has about 37 of the 125 voice memos I have on the phone. I also looked in the Music section, which has the same 37 files plus an additional 8. It does not show any of the voice memos from the last 3 years. How can I resolve this? I want to sync but if its is not seeing these files, I'm worried they will get erased.
    I've read that I might be able to plug the iPhone into a PC that is running Linux and see the files under a 'recordings' type folder and them maybe transfer them to a thumb drive but I have not tried this yet as I'm hoping there is another way to extract the voice memos that iTunes is not seeing that are clearly on my phone.
    I have the new Macbook Air with Yosemite and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Oh and I have not updated my iPhone IOS since 2013 so I'm still on 6.1.3. I plan to update to the most current IOS but I want to make sure my voice memos are saved and don't get hosed in the process

    you have to enable that setting on your itunes. It would be under the music tab when you have your phone plugged in.

  • 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!
