IOS 7 Voice Memo

I've recently recorded a voice memo (58mins) on my iPhone 5s. I need to put this on my computer (iMac os x 10.9.x) and I can't send it via iMessage (didn't work) or email (too large). iTunes is no help either, I'm wondering if there are any good third party helps to help this

Hey kenny123456789!
I have an article here for you that can describe how to accomplish this:
iPod: Recording voice memos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
Transferring a recording to a computer
Manually
Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
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.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

  • Voice memos not syncing

    I'm trying to just transfer voice memos from the IOS voice memo app to my laptop.
    Selected the device, then "Music" tab, then "Selected playlists, artists, albums and genres," then checked "Include voice memos."
    Then clicked "Sync"
    Nothing happens. The voice memos are on the iPhone, I can see them in iTunes and on my iPhone. They do not transfer. It would be great to just select them and drag them into my Library but I guess we're not allowed to do that, we have to do it some really complicated other way.
    I have transferred voice memos in the past, but every time it's like reinventing the wheel over and over again. Definitely not a straightforward set of steps. I find this baffling.
    Another baffling issue, all voice memos show up under Device > Music (iPhone device in left column), but only some show up under Device > Voice Memos (again, left column).
    Don't know what else to say, it just doesn't seem to transfer. What am I missing. iTunes 11, iphone 4S. Please help.

    I rarely use voice memos, today I needed to. I had not checked the sync button previously, and of course my new voice memos didn't sync even after I tried again. By now I hope you've found a solution, but since it's still soon after your post, I found this info on a macrumors forum, which worked like a charm for me, so I hope it can still help you or someone else:
    "This is how it was resolved on iphone...not sure if it will work for ipod
    I found the solution on another forum  (source is at bottom)...but basically I noticed that if i created a fresh new voice memo and then synced...then it worked.  So the problem then became that older voice memos weren't syncing..
    so the solution is to:-
    go to each old memo  and TRIM it  (see the little blue arrow, far right of each memo..click on that arrow and trim by 1 second)..then when you sync ..it sees the voice memo as a new one and syncs it fine

  • Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade

    After upgrading to IOS 8 on my iPhone 5s, the majority of my voice memos are missing and the ones that remain no longer have titles or even play back on my phone.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I was able to recover my voice memos, though the original titles are gone.
    I opened my Voice Memos app like everyone else and I saw each memo quickly deleting and acting glitchy. I then connected my iPhone to my macbook so I could attempt to restore the backup I had made before the ios8 update. It said it couldn't be done because there wasn't enough room. However, when I opened my memos app again, the voice recordings were there! I can't verify if it's all of them but I'm grateful I was able to recover some.
    I use this app to record lyrics on the go and I'd really like Apple to step up and fix this.

  • Lost voice memos after iOS 8 update

    Before my very eyes all my Voice Memos disappeared off my iPhone 5s after the IOS 8.0.2 upgrade. The application was doing some weird things before it deleted every Voice Memo - wobbling and shimmering. Any ideas anyone?

    Try Dr.Fone to scan your iPhone for the voice memos.

  • Voice memos in ios 7: lengths not set at first

    Hello;
    I intended to write this as a question about what happened to an important voice memo that
    I recorded yesterday, but going through what I did yesterday leads me to believe that I actually
    deleted it because I thought it was empty.
    I just upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone 4.  Yesterday was my first experience using the new
    voice memo app.  It is my practice to record audio of class meetings and then the post an
    mp3 file to the cloud.  At the end of class, I noticed that a voice memo had been recording as
    I expected.  I don't recall if I paused recording then hit "Done" or hit "Done" directly.  A dialogue
    box came up:
    > New Voice Memo
    > Enter a name for this voice memo
    > New Recording
    > Cancel OK
    A student asked a question and I had to leave the room, so I didn't complete the step of naming the file
    then.
    Later, I noticed a recording of zero length (0:00:00) which I thought had gotten created inadvertently
    (that seemed to be easy to do in the previous version of voice memo, so I didn't think much of it).
    I deleted that file.  The question remained what had happened to my recording (of about 75 minutes).
    As I tried to recreate my problem now, so I coud write it up accurately, I realized that all the voice memos I
    created are shown as 0 length when they first appear on the list of recordings.  As I tried this a few times,
    the delay in changing the length from 0:00:00 to the correct length did vary... from almost
    instantaneously up to a couple of seconds (I don't know if it depends on the length of the file: the longest
    I tried now was about 30 seconds).
    For what it's worth, the zeros should not be displayed at all.
    Best regards,
    Daryl

    i have managed to work out what this issues is being caused by please head over to my blog, but apple needs to fix this up properly.

  • How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

    How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
    I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

    Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
    With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

  • Voice Memos iOS 8 time limit

    I used to record all my 3,5 hours (3 hours and 30 minutes) classes with iOS 7.1.2 with no problem. I recorded more than 20 classes in this year.
    After upgrading to iOS8 I tried to record the two last classes (same length) and the Voice Memo stock app stopped at 3h04min in both classes!
    Is there a new limit for voice memos, or is it a bug?
    I use an iPhone 5S 64GB with 25GB free space...
    Thanks in advance.

    I am having the same issue all of a sudden but for me, it just seem to randomly stop.  I used to be able to record forever and now I have had the voice memo stop on me after 50 minutes in a 90 minute class and 25 minutes in a 90 minute class.  I know it isn't space because I have 10 gigs of room on my 5s, so I don't understand and it's annoying because having those voice memos are great in studying and what not.
    It doesn't do it every time, because I have gotten through some classes completely, but after two or three times, then it starts to do it.

  • I found a bug in iOS 4.3.3 - Long voice memos

    Hello,
    i found a bug in iOS 4.3.3 for my iPhone 3GS
    Long voice memos can not be played
    In these cases, the iPhone saves the file not in the format M4A or can not open this file.
    This file is stored in the folder /var/mobile/Media/Recordings
    In This cases there can be find a file in the format MOV.
    During recording, the voice memo has the format MOV.
    When the voice memo stopped the file must be stored in the format M4A.
    For large files, there are currently problems.
    I use the program  iPhone Explorer and save the MOV-file on my computer.
    Now i can open it with QuickTime.
    Best regards from Germany!

  • IPhone 4 -IOS 7.1.2 Voice Memos Starting Screen Bug

    Voice memos comes to face me like this when I stepped to the screen.My phone not charge
    You should look at the top right side

    Greetings UbeydGencer,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like your iPhone may have a couple of different issues. To troubleshoot Voice Memos not working as you would expect, I would suggest closing that application and then opening it fresh. 
    Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    It also sounds like your iPhone in not charging the way you would expect. If this is the case, I would suggest reading over and working through the steps outlined in the next attached article.

  • Voice memos gone after ios 7 upgrade

    The voice memos on my phone are gone following the update to IOS 7.  Does anyone know why they disappeared and how I can get them back on the phone.  I have an iphone 5.  I backed up before the update but I do not see the voice memos in my itunes library.  Any ideas????
    Thank you.

    Yeah I have the same problem. Extremely annoying. This 7.0 looks cool but there appears to be quite learning curve for both iphone users and Apple's design and implementation staff. Any technical help would be much appreciated.

  • Voice Memos ceased working after iOS 6.0.2 upgrade

    Voice Memos launches then crashes in one second on my iPhone 5, ios 6.0.2.  This began after the latest ios upgrade for iPhone 5.
    I have done a hard reset; a restore iPhone and the standard Voice Memos does not function anymore.
    Does anyone have a solution?  There is no other way to uninstall and reinstall the one single app that I am aware of.
    Thanks!

    You do realize voicemail is a carrier feature.  What have you done to fix this, have you gone in and at least try to change the greeting?

  • Voice Memos grayed out after iOS 8 upgrade, then restore

    Hello all,
    As others have stated, I lost ALL my voice memos after upgrading my iPhone 5c (don't judge) to iOS 8. Simple enough, restore right? Wrong. Restored the iCloud backup from a few days ago, pre iOS 8 update. "Got" the data back, at least everything looked right....except the OS is still iOS 8, not 7 (fine), but when I open Voice Memos I now SEE my recordings, but they are all greyed out and I can't play them or send them to myself to save them. I'm a songwriter and I have valuable demo material here I really don't want to lose. Any help appreciated!!

    Well, nevermind! I guess the restore just hadn't finished because now all is back to normal!
