Long voice memos not transferring to iTunes

Hi,
I need help. I have a 3gs 32GB iphone and for all purposes its been working alright, but since i did the ios 5.0 update (now ios 5.0.1 hoping this would solve the problem but no)some of my voice memo's have been duplicated on my phone. Also voice memos longer then one hour are not being transferred to itunes 10.5 running on ios X 10.6.8. Can i get some options please!
another note my ipone's general info says i have 14GB available but itunes tells me i only have 9.2 GB available.
Thank you for any help.

hi Nina!
hmmmm. is it just the voice memos that aren't transfering at the moment? how about new songs and whatnot?

IPhone 5 long voice memos not synced in iTunes

Hi,
Today, I've recorded 3 voice memo longer than 3 hours long on my iPhone 5, iOS8.
I've checked "sync Voice Memos" in the Music tab of iTunes 11.4 sync, but those new memo don't get synced.
By the way, looking into the "on my iPhone" tab, I can't see the recordings. I can see older recordings, though.
I can play all the voice memos on the iPhone, including the 3 recordings of today.
I've tried to send them via email but they don't get through, probably because they are too big.
AirDrop on iOS8 doesn't seem to be able to "speak" with Mac Os X 10.9.4's AirDrop.
Any way I can get those big recordings transferred ?

Hi,
I found a solution.
Maybe it helps, if anybody has the asme issue.
Download iBrowse (http://www.ibrowseapp.com), and the recordings will be accessible, even those hidden by iTunes.
I could export my recordings with that software.
This is definitely a bug of iTunes or IOS, and if Apple reads this, they might want to fix it.

Iphone 4s voice memos not syncing to itunes?

hi all,
i have an iphone 4s, purchased in october 2011. all the software is up to date, as is the software on my macbook pro (running 10.5.8). the itunes version i use is 10.5.3.
i used the voice memos function for the first time recently, have two recordings of workshops, one is 45 mins long, the other about 1 hour 15 mins long. when i came home, i connected my iphone to the macbook, launched itunes, checked the box under the music tab that said "include voice memos" and hit sync. when done syncing, i saw that under all the playlists was a section for voice memos, but nothing in it. my phone has the two voice memos, but the itunes, after syncing everything, does not. i repeat, this is despite having checked the "include voice memos" box.
has anyone faced this issue before? is there any way for me to transfer these memos to my computer? any way to get the syncing to work?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
hope the new year is treating everyone well so far. cheers!...r

I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.

HT1386 Voice Memos not syncing with iTunes iOS 8.1 (12B411) iTunes 11.4 (18)

My phone is an iPhone 5.
I have tried everything I can think of.
Any voice memo older than last week will not transfer to my itunes on my mac.
I just recorded 2 new ones and they transferred fine.
When I open up itunes on my macbook pro and click on "On This iPhone" all my voice memos don't show up even though I have over 30 of them in the phone.
Only the last 2 show. And when I go to itunes music library only one shows up which is the one I just recorded as a test.
Any sugestions?
(Today is Tuesday October 21, 2014)

Voice memos not syncing with iTunes

My voice memos stopped syncing to my iMac's iTunes software since the beginning of November. How do I fix this?

The follow is backed up in iCloud:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and video in the Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
From here > Apple - iCloud - Store and back up your content in iCloud.

With my iPhone 5s, can I record long voice memo to the cloud and not worry about storage on phone?

With my iPhone 5s, can I record a long voice memo to the cloud and not worry about storage space on phone?

You can't add music to the cloud, whether it will show there for streaming and redownloading depends upon what country that you are in. If you are in a country where music is available in the cloud then you don't have to download the music from the store, if you turn Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music (under the 'show all' heading) 'on' then you should be able to stream purchased music in the Music app without downloading it - your phone will need to be online in order to stream, and if using 3G/4G then it will use some of your data allowance.
If you download an album or a track then it will be downloaded onto your phone. You can't upload music to the cloud from an iOS device. Whether music that you've bought shows for streaming depends upon what country that you are in and if the album or track remains in the store (unless you've subscribed to iTunes Match), and if you are connected to a network.

IPhone (4) Voice Memos not Syncing to New iTunes 10.0

I'm currently on an iPhone 4 (4.0.1 firmware) and I've been experiencing issues getting my voice memos to sync to my iTunes library.
The last time this worked was August 27, 2010 which added 3 voice memos to my iTunes library successfully. Since then, I have not yet updated my firmware but have installed the new iTunes 10.0. I have 8 new voice memo recordings on my phone since the last successful sync, and I've tried syncing my phone four times today, Sept. 4, (restarting iTunes and my iPhone) with no luck. I tried recording a new voice memo to see if iTunes 10 would recognize any memos recorded after the installation but that failed as well.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes.

SYNCING / TRANSFERRING LONG VOICE MEMOS FROM IPHONE 4S to PC OR LION

Hi all,
I have a 37 minute long Voice Memo on my Voice Memos.
I want to put it on my PC or mac and then delete it on my iphone 4S.
How do I sync or transfer it to my PC?
At the moment, I connect to the PC and the files show up on itunes inside the voice memos part of my iphone 4S naturally. THE WIERD THING is I try to drag it to my desktop or a pc folder and it doesn't work like mp3's would normally just transfer / copy???
When I eject the iphone 4S from itunes. The voice memos will disappear also???
If you have the answer, please tell me step by step since I'm a newbie.
Thanks in advance!

I also tried going into the app and emailing them to myself but the one I really need is over 25MB and therefore won't email. And it definitely won't go through messages.

How do you get voice memos from iphone onto itunes with MANUAL sync?

Ok, the iphone voice record function... I can't get the voice memos onto itunes or my computer. I don't use the autosync function, I like to manage my music and such manually.
I cannot find a way to manually access the voice memos on my iphone through itunes. Many of them are too large to email so I'm stuck.
The only option seems to be auto-sync, and if I do turn on the sync function at this point, itunes will completely erase my iphone and the voice memos I've recorded on it. Kind of defeats the purpose.
Any tips?
I've looked at a lot of posts and haven't found anything to help here. Just a bunch of posts complaining about how bad the voice recorder feature is integrated into the new iphone 3.0 software.
i'm using a 32gb 3gs.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but I'm not quite sure if there is a solution to this.
I have the same desire as OP, but yet I do not see my voice memos automatically syncing when I have manual sync selected. I also do not see a playlist folder or anything that indicates voice memos have transferred. Am I missing something? Is there no way to get voice memos onto the computer without having to autosync it?
If someone can provide more details on how to do this, that'd be great. But it seems at this point that I cannot get voice memos onto my computer through iTunes with manual sync on.

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!

Voice Memo not syncing as advertised.

Voice Memos arent working right for me. I have them set to sync, but itunes never did sync them no matter what I did (I thought). So I manually created the Voice Memo playlist it was supposed to make for me, then it finally started automatically putting them in there. It actually was syncing the files over to my main library with just a time and date file name... but no play list and no easy way to find them all or manage them all without searching for each one individually.
Any change I make in iTunes does not change anything on my iPhone in the Voice Memo app. Deleting them from the playlist leaves them in my library, I have to search my library for the date names they are saved as and delete them from there. After deleting them from iTunes, it does not remove them in Voice Memo from my iPhone, they are still there. Syncing my iPhone puts them back as music files onto my iPhone, and they are still in Voice Memo separately... its very confusing because this isnt how Apple said its supposed to work. Maybe the playlist is set up wrong because I had to manually do it and it wont auto create one?

That's interesting. That was not my experience as I played around with Voice Memos.
Interestingly, even though I have the Include Voice Memos checked, voice memos that are in iTunes, but have been deleted from the Voice Memo App do not get synced back to the iPhone. With the box unchecked, Voice Memos don't seem to get synced back to iTunes at all.
I also can't seem to get the Voice Memos playlist to show up in the iPod at all.

mines not working like that at all... not even close.... i get multiple copies... also it will NOT create a Voice Memos playlist for me. I've tried over and over. If I manually create one called Voice Memos, it uses it, but I don't think its using it right since it keeps syncing the same memos every time to get multiple copies.
