Iphone 4 sync won't delete voice memos

I have deleted all voice memos on my mac, but sync won't remove them from my iphone 4 (version 4.3.3)  I have tried checking "Include voice memos" then syncing.  I have tried unchecking and then syncing.  I have completely deleted my voice memos playlist on my mac and repeated both syncs above.  I have also reset my phone (b/c I was getting an error message that I didn't have a microphone - reset fixed this) and tried again.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?  I have about 50 voice memos and don't want to delete them one at a time.

I recorded a new voice memo on my phone and synced again.  The sync created a new voice memos playlist in itunes (as it should have) with the one new voice memo in it.  The sync completely ignored the 50-or-so old voice memos on my phone.

  • How to permanently delete voice memos from iPhone 4s?

    As you can see, I have over 387 voice memos somewhere on my phone, and I want them permanently deleted. I've deleted the voice memos through the voice memos app, and these appear to be all of the deleted voice memos. I tried deleted the voice memos playlist, and that didn't do anything either. This list is shown on the new iTunes.... where you click "On This Phone" when looking at my connected iphone. It's taking up a ton of space on my phone and I don't need them. A majority of them appear to be the exact same voice memo just in there a bunch of times. I can't find a solution anywhere for this.
    Also, how can I make sure that any future voice memos don't sync to my iTunes? I can't find an option to uncheck the syncing of voice memos. All of these changes are confusing me.
    Thank you!
    UPDATE: I just checked, and I do not have voice memos checked in itunes as syncing to my computer from my phone. So why was it syncing anyway? I don't understand.

    I was having a similar issue and I if I understand correctly, I think this is a solution for others..
    in itunes with iphone plugged in, go to summary tab. click "manually manage music.." and apply. Then go to "on this phone tab" and you can actually physically delete the voice memo playlist or individual voice memos. This appears to have finally worked for me..or at least the voice memos playlist doesn't persist under the "on this phone tab" anymore....not sure it made a huge difference in my iphone available space.

  • IPhone 5s to Macbook iTunes Voice memo sync??

    I have an iPhone 5s and recently purchased a Macbook Air. When I had a PC, my iPhone and iTunes always synced perfectly, including the voice memos, which would save to my library in the designated playlist. Now, when I connect my iPhone to my Macbook and iTunes opens, it will sync my device, but the Voice memos will not transfer from iPhone to my library. This is an issue because I want to download these large files (lectures) to my computer so I can delete them off of my iPhone. Please help!

  • Recover deleted voice memos on iphone

    Hi there,
    I wanted to trim 20 secs off a voice memo and deleted the 70min after instead. Besides paying for software to use via the mac to recover the file I wondered if there was a simple process via the iphone? btw the icloud voice memos was not on?
    Cheers
    Dom

    I think the simplest way is to retrieve deleted voice memos on iPhone through computer, no apps on iPhone available now to do it.

  • Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

  • Itunes only finding and syncing some of my voice memos on my iphone

    I have an iphone 4s with the current updated operating system and use the most current itunes program. I am trying to find a way to sync/upload all my voice memos from my iphone to itunes/computer and be able to play them and label them.

I've synced, consolidated, resynced, and also trying to restart the computer, etc. this was what was recommended. still hasnt fixed my issue. can anyone help me with this?

  • TS3991 how to retreive deleted voice memos file via ICloud?

    I  have "voice memos" on my Iphone 5 and I deleted an important voice file in it yesterday. I have Icloud and I try to find it in Icloud or other Icloud devices (a mini Ipad, an Ipad 2 and an ipod touch) but without success. Help!

    hi, you can use third-party iPhone recovery program (google it) to scan your iCloud backup to see if your backup files contain your voice memo, then you can recover deleted voice memos on iPhone.
    Good luck.

  • Why doesn't deleting Voice Memos in iTunes delete them on my iPod Touch

    hi. i synch my ipod touch with itunes and all my newly recorded voice memos come to my library in the voice memo playlist. according to the ipod touch manual i go and delete the unnecessary voice memos in my library and typically they are deleted from the voice memo playlist. when i synch my ipod i expect the deleted voice memos are also deleted from my ipod touch but it doesn't. this is very annoying for me because i am visually impaired and deleting and managing voice memos in my library and synching them with my ipod is much much easier for me rather than deleting them using the device. any idea?
    thanks

    The Users Guide says:
    "However, if you delete a voice memo from
    iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes. "
    - Are you saying the Voice Memos are still on the iPod after you sync?
    If yest see if resetting the iPod will correct the problem.  Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to restore from backup followed by restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • IPhone sometimes won't delete all the photos after I import into iPhoto

    Every so often, my iPhone 3GS won't delete some photos after importing into iPhoto and choosing "delete originals." It deletes most of the originals but strangely keeps a certain number around. My basic routine is to "Import All" and then "Delete Originals." This works 98% of the time, but sometimes the iPhone just gets hung up and won't delete the originals until I manually do it from the iPhone itself.

    I was looking further into this and I found out that on my Macbook Pro's System Preferences. In the iCloud settings, the "Photos" setting was checked and in the Options next to that, the "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" was also checked.
    I think this was the main problem. After I used iTunes to sync with the photos maybe there was some cache settings or something residual left on the iPhone which let to it being continuously restoring.
    This is the fix which I used. It is fine now.
    Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos is unchecked.
    Check in System Preferences for - iCloud >> Photos >> Options >> "My Photo Stream" and "Photo Sharing" is unchecked.
    Temporarily delete account for iCloud settings on iOS device - Settings >> iCloud (This didn't affect my main iCloud account only deleted my information on the device)
    Re-sync iOS device with iTunes.
    Set up your iCloud account on iOS device again.
    Hope this helps for anyone having this problem.
