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!

Why can't you update?
There should be nothing preventing the update from 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 or even from 5 directly to 7.
What happens when you try to update?
Have you tried to Update through a computer running the most up top date version of iTunes?
Tell us a little more about what is happening and we may be able to provide more specific answers.

Have you looked in iPhoto on your Mac under the "Photo Stream" area shown on the left sidebar?

How do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my macbook iTunes library?

how do I transfer songs from my iPhone to my macbook iTunes library?

If they were purchased then you simply transfer purchases

Songs should reside in iTunes, if you have any non-purchased content on the phone you will need a 3rd party program to transfer

The only way out of Recovery mode is to connect to iTunes and restore. If you cannot access the computer you normally sync with, you will lose all of your content, unless you sync to iCloud. With no backup present, your content will be lost.

Voice Memos sync to itunes, but don't sync back to iPhone

When I sync my iPhone with iTunes, the "Voice Memos" playlist gets created and I get my memos into iTunes just fine. However, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that when you delete a memo from iTunes it should be deleted from your iPhone on the next sync, and also that you should be able to add memos into iTunes and they sync into your iPhone. Not only does this not work for me, but when I delete a memo from iTunes and then sync my iphone, I get an error saying my iPhone couldn't sync, error code 13019. Once I delete the memo from the iPhone MYSELF, the iPhone syncs okay.
Incidentally, I also find that even if I name a memo on the iPhone, when I sync it into iTunes it comes through with just the date as the title, not the name I gave it on iTunes.
Is anyone else noticing this behavior with Voice Notes? I did actually try restoring my iPhone and it didn't chance anything.

Seens to be fixed with iTunes 11.2.2.

My voice memos from my iPhone 5 to my iTunes won't sync

I'm trying to sync my voice memos from my iPhone 5 to my iTunes. I was on the phone when I initially connected my phone to my computer and the voice memos popped up then disappeared. Ever since then The 6 memos that disappeared will not sync. All memos before and after will. Please help

Settings, icloud, calendars to off keep on my phone.

ITunes 11.4 won't sync iPhone iOS 7.1.1 voice memos

I tried syncing my voice memos to iTunes 11.4 for PC from my iPhone that's running iOS 8, and only the ones made after the upgrade got synced. None of the ones made prior using iOS 7 got synced. I know I can email them, but there's a lot. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I also could not sync music after updating to iTunes 11.0.2. Today I lost a few hours of my life fixing it, but in my case the fix was banal and annoying. In Itunes>Preferences>Devices there is a box "Prevents iPods, iPhones, and iPads fro syncing automatically". I unchecked it and all is well. I am sure that I did not check the box in the first place, so it must be a default or the result of importing settings when updating.

Iphone Voice Memo Sync Solved?

Recently got an Iphone 3GS. Couldn't get the iphone voice memos to sync to Itunes, except once by trimming the memo and that seemed a fluke. I didn't want to go through the steps of consolidating my itunes library which has worked for some, as I didn't want all that duplication going on. I found that once the Iphone is connected, there is ANOTHER box that needs to be checked that Apple has not mentioned as far as I know: The name of your iPhone in the Artists box.
1. Connect Iphone to computer. Note that I do not automatically sync my Itunes or iphone but manual only; others may differ.
2. At the top of the Summary page, select the Music tab which opens the music page, at the top of which is a box that you check called Sync Music. (That 'sync music' is just a setting, not the 'sync' button at the bottom that actually syncs.)
I make sure that under that the 'selected playlists artists albums and genres' is selected, then below that is checked the 'include voice memos'...
3. Under that you should see a list of categories playlists, artists, etc. You can check the box 'Voice Memo' under Playlists, but don't know if this is crucial. There is another Voice Memos box under 'Genre' which you can click but also don't know if it's crucial.
4. Most importantly, go to the Artists list, scroll down and find the name you use for your Iphone. THAT'S the box that seems most important. Then with all those boxes checked the computer may request you to hit the 'apply' button at bottom right for those changes, then click the Synch button on the bottom right of the page and all voice memos go from iphone to iTunes.
To get them out of Itunes for backup go to the left hand column in the Itunes window where it says 'PLAYLISTS' (not the playlists on the music page, but the heading in the left hand column usually below the 'STORE' and 'DEVICES' headings.) This PLAYLISTS heading shows the iTunes folders on your computer, not your iphone, scroll down and through the playlists until you come to 'Voice Memos'. Open that and then you can drag the voice memos onto your desktop like any other itunes file. (If you mistakenly open the Voice Memos folder under the Devices heading, that's your Iphone, and you will not be able to drag those files onto your desktop. Ideally disconnect your iphone before doing this.)
I would like to know if this works for other than the two MacBook Pros I tried it on; note that this presumes your iphone name will show up in the Artists list; if not that may be another problem.

Voice memos sync not shown in iTunes

I am trying to sync my voice memos to iTunes a couple of times. They are not shown. I haven't updated my iPhone 5s to the latest software yet. It's still running iOS 7; my iTunes was updated though. Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thank you!!!

You need to open iTunes on your computer. Then select music library from the left-hand. Then in the search window on the top right of the screen type in voice memo . The voice memo should now appear in the list is available music in the middle of the iTunes screen

Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the problem that the Iphone 4 has with transfering voice memos to itunes?

Does anyone know when Apple is going to fix the bug with transfering voice memos from the IPhone 4 to itunes on a computer. I waisted a lot of time trying to figure out why it was not working. Then I read some comments about other people having the same issues.
cheers!

Anyone that did know would be bound by non-dosclosure agreement not to say.
Unless Apple announces, which they very rarely do, there is no way to know what Apple will do in the future or when they will do it.
Sorry.

Every time I try to sync my iphone to my macbook, itunes freezes.

I have the latest version of itunes but haven't synced my phone since I bought it. I just spent an hour and a half with apple care support and all they had me do was uninstall and re install itunes and it has done nothing to help me. Any ideas?

While your iPhone is synching in iTunes, do the following:
1. Click on your iPhone's icon on the left.
2. Find and click on the "Tones" tab on the upper right of the iTunes display.
3. Choose the synch option you would like.

Can someone please explain Voice Memos syncing?

Hi All,
I'm really, really, really confused about Voice Memos, and syncing them with iTunes. My setup is an iPhone 5, and a MacBook Pro Retina 13". My wife also has an iPhone, and we both sync them to iTunes on the Mac, including backing them up to the Mac, not iCloud backups. Since I signed up to iTunes Match not so long ago, I've noticed that the Voice Memos on the phones and iTunes are literally all over the place! And it's really confusing.
I assumed it was as simple as it really should be (whatever you record to the Voice Memo App on the iPhone simply gets added to iTunes whenever it's synced, and as you create more and more voice memos they just keep adding to somewhere in iTunes, along with the names you gave them when you recorded, or the name it's given by the App if you choose not to name it). It would be brilliant if that's how it worked, but for some reason it's incredibly confusing and complicated to work out where files are, why names change, why duplicate files appear, disappear, move altogether even!!?!!
There are literally so many questions I have about things I'm going to have to just list the main ones below and hope someone somewhere can shed some light for me!! I'm a songwriter by the way hence the large number of voice memo recordings.
Cheers in advance,
Phil
The 3 main questions I have...
* If I name a recording on my phone then sync it, iTunes gives the file the same name (great!). Why then if I rename the file in the Music library in iTunes and sync the phone again does the name NOT change on my iPhone? Surely keeping things in sync across devices and software makes more sense than leaving older names on one thing and newer somewhere else?
* I have a list of Voice Memo recordings on my iPhone, that's the only place I've ever recorded the memos. So why, when I sync the phone, do those voice memos not just appear in one long list called Voice Memos under the "On My Device" list? I have a Voice Memos list that has about 13 voice memos on it, but on my iPhone there are hundreds... why aren't they all lumped in with the Voice Memos list? As I say I've only ever recorded these memos on my various iPhones all of which has been created from backups of the very first iPhone I had (3GS).
* Why do Voice Memos my wife has created on her iPhone appear in my Voice Memo App on my iPhone? At no point have I ever ticked anything she's recorded and asked it to appear on my phone? And similarly, why have 10's of my recordings appeared on her iPhone? Surely when you sync the individual phones they keep the Voice Memos separate to each phone?
* I have a list of voice memo recordings on my iPhone all named the same date and time, roughly 50 I'd say, yet they are all different previous recordings I've made. Any idea how this happened?
PS. I'm aware that the likelihood is it's some sort of user error, and this isn't all Apple's fault, so please be polite in your response, as I'm in no way "Apple bashing", I just want this one confusing area cleared up for me!

Hi,
Many thanks for replying, but I'm not sure I've explained myself very well, or not enough for you to be able to understand the various problems I'm having. In answer to your questions;
1. Yes I understand that if I rename a voice memo in iTunes it then can't find the same file on the phone. I'm just wondering why that is the case? If I rename the file in the voice memo app on the phone it alters it when syncing to iTunes. So why not the other way round? Surely keeping things in sync not out of sync is the idea? If I alter a Note in my phone, then my Mac, then my iPad (the same Note) it renames it on all my devices keeping them in sync. Why is this not the case for voice memos? Or is there a setting I've not got right?
2. No we use the same iTunes account on my Mac. The iTunes accounts is signed in to my Apple ID only. The voice memos keep getting mixed up between phones. Yet nothing else does. The music we've synced, the apps we purchased individually, the ringtones, books, etc. They all stay separate across the two devices when syncing. But voice memos for some reason keeping moving across to each others phones. Why?

Voice memo sync with iphone4 IOS 5.1

Dear all,
I cannot sync my iphone 4 voice memos to itunes 10.6, older voice memos, before FEB 2012, do appear in voicememoms playlist in itunes but the newer ones do not.
i am using ihone4 with IOS5.1
Can you help?

You're gonna need to restore your phone as a new device, then restore from backup & sync your content back to your phone. So, if you backup to iCloud you can use any computer to restore the phone. Once you get the congratulations screen, restore from your iCloud backup & re-download your iTunes content.
Once unlocked, your phone will remain unlocked forever.
In theory. you should be OK. Me? I like to have a local backup stored on my computer, as well as all of my content stored locally on my computer. That way, if anything does go wrong, the fix is easy/simple.
