Not all voice memos showing up in iTunes

Hi,
I am having problems syncing my voice memos from my iPhone to iTunes.
I have around 60 recordings on my iPhone (5S, iOS 8.1.3) and I want to transfer them to my Macbook via iTunes (OS X Yosemite10.10.1; iTunes version 12.1.0.50). For some reason, only 17 of my recordings are showing up in the "Voice Memos" folder in the "On My Device" Section in iTunes. The 17 that are there are more or less random, with some of them being several months old and a few of them being recent. It is not possible to transfer even these 17.
I have checked the "Include voice memos" box as well as the genre "Voice memos" when syncing (but not the Playlist "Voice Memos", since it doesn't exist for some reason), but still it is not synced. Restarting iTunes and reconnecting the iPhone doesn't make a difference. It is also not a problem with storage, as I have 8 GB available on my iPhone and 160GB on my Mac.
I have also tried to manually transfer the recordings to my Mac using Airdrop, but my iPhone cannot find the Mac, although it is switched on and visibility is set on "Everyone". I have tried switching both devices off and on, without luck. Any ideas?
I have seen that several people have experienced some problems with voice recordings, but I have not been able to find a good solution to my problem yet. I would be grateful if anyone has any advice. Is there any other way to transfer the voice recordings to my Mac? They are too large for email/imessage. Is there a way to transfer them via iCloud/Dropbox/Google Drive? I have not yet managed to add the voice memos to either of them from my iPhone.
Thank you in advance!

Heiko,
I had the same problem and noticed that the missing albums had been PhotoCast. Apparently these albums are not available for transfer to your iPod. When I Stopped Publishing the album, the problem was solved.
I hope this helps, Jim
Not sure when exactly this happened but I guess with
the installation of iTunes 6.04.
Some of the albums I've created in in iPhoto do not
show up in the iTunes iPod options.
I first noticed when trying to view photos on my iPod
that images that had been there before were no longer
available.
Anybody else experiencing this? Any idea on how to
fix this?
I've already tried to restore my iPod and delete the
iPod Cahe folder but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Heiko.

  • Voice Memos shows in computer iTunes but not on iphone

    Now, I have iphone 5, OS 8.1 (Powerbook Pro OS 10.6.8).
    Earlier OS, I used to be able to enjoyed and managed the Voice Memos from iPhone to the computer iTunes Playlists, then selected and dragged it to a new playlist. Once I synced the new playlist back to the iphone, I could play it back repeatedly under Music on the iphone. (if play under the Voice Memos on iphone as you know it won't repeat and stops all tasks).
    Now, even though the new playlist with the voice memos shows in the computer iTunes,  but once I sync it to the iphone the new playlist with the voice memos will no longer show on the iphone. (again, the reason I do so, because, if played under the Voice Memos it won't auto repeat and stops all tasks).
    Suggestions Please.
    Thank you!
    Note: I tried to converted the Kind from ACC to MP3 or MPEG.
             I tried to drop the Voice Memos item to the old PlayLists( songs), once it synced to the iphone the playlist will show with songs in it but not the voice     memos item.

    Haa..
    Instead of converted the Kind from ACC to MP3,  just changed the media kind from voice memo to music.
    It works again now! It took me 6 months to get to this point.
    Happy journey!

  • Not all Voice Memos transfer on sync w/iTunes

    iPhone 5S, iOS 7.0.4
    MacBook Pro 8GB ram, OS X Mavericks
    iTunes 11.1.3 (8)

    Any suggestions?

    ditto. apple engineers don't know how to fix it. did you fix it? and if so....how?

  • Voice Memos show up in iTunes but not on iPhone 4

    When I plug my iphone into my MBP, I can see all my Voice Memos in the list of things on my device in iTunes. And, I have a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes that appears to be complete.
    However, in the Voice Memos app on my phone, I only have one memo, and the playlist doesn't show up at all in my Music app. Based on what I'm seeing in iTunes, the voice memos are there on my phone somewhere, but I can't find them, and I can't figure how to move the playlist from itunes back onto my phone.
    I do use iMatch, and it looks like the Voice Memos playlist doesn't sync with iMatch. That may be part of the problem. But, I don't want to lose some of these memos - precious moments from the lives of my children. Help!

    Hi Itarbox,
    I've been experiencing about the same issue : I had a list of Voices Memos shown in iTunes that didn't appeared on my iPhone 4S. Here is what I did to solve the problem :
    I strongly suggest you perform a backup before doing this, just in case.
    1st : Get back those "lost" Voices Memos from the backup file
    I've downloaded "iBackup Bot for iTunes", open the last backup, select the files I want to get back and "export" them to a local folder. Those are mp4 files that can easily be opened with iTunes or Media Player.
    this is the tricky part, which took me about 4-5 hours of painful research, trial and error :
    2nd : Get rid of the "erroneous" files that still appear within iTunes, but not on the iPhone
    I've downloaded "iExplorer", opened it with my iPhone plugged in (it reads the iPhone database). Then, I right clicked on the folder iPhone > Media > Recordings and deleted the whole folder. The software warns that this move is irreversible, click ok. Now close iExplorer, unplug the iPhone and open iTunes. When iTunes is loaded, plug in the iPhone and sync. The erroneous files are now gone!
    Hope this helps!

  • IPhone iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes

    My iPhone running iOS 5.1.1 will not sync voice memos to iTunes. I have tried trimming the memos, and changed the label. No go. The "include voice memos" is checked on iTunes sync, but iTunes won't even create a voice memos playlist. Help? These are brand new recordings, and they are too long to email.

    Try Handbrake to convert your movie to an iPhone format.  Then reimport it to iTunes and synch to your phone.

    All of sudden apple tv will not play my tv shows/movies on itunes.  It says "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies.
    Can anyone help  I have just bought alot of movies and tv shows and want to watch them with my family not just on my ipad!!!
    Not sure why this has just started happening.  have been using apple tv with my ipad for months and now it comes up with this error... 
    THanks

    Firstly restart the AppleTV, secondly check the HDMI lead and if possible swap for another or another HDMI input - sounds as though AppleTV thinks the TV is not HDCP capable.

  • ITunes not importing Voice Memos from iPhone into library.

    I have the settings on my iPhone to sync voice memos, yet when I sync with my iMac, it doesn't import the voice memos that I have in my voice memos list into my iTunes library for playing back outside of the Voice Memos app. What's wrong, and how do I fix it?

    I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
    Here ya go:
    1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
    2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
    3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
    4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
    5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
    6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
    You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
    7) Sync you iPhone and you are good to go.

  • Sync Music will not sync voice memos.  Why?

    When I check "include voice memos" in Sync Music, and sync music, Voice Memos do not move into iTunes. 
    Memo is 33 minutes but that does not really seem, to me, to be an issue.  A search does not find it nor is there a Voice Memo Folder created in iTunes
    Ideas?  Solutions?
    Thanks 

    I didn't start this thread, but have the same question. I recently updated my iTunes and tried to sync and backup my iPhone so I can update to iOS7. Only, my music is not syncing from my iPhone to iTunes. Some of this music I have had for a couple of years and no longer have the CD for (I have teenagers...CDs damaged or missing). Out of 104 songs, only 3 are showing up. Any ideas?

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync, Voice Memos tab under iPhone blank

    I have all my iPhone music and videos manually managed, but somehow the voice memos got synced to my iTunes automatically each time I click Sync iPhone under the album "Voice Memos" and artist name "&MyPhoneName" which is fine by me. Is that normal? How to turn it on or off?
    Then I notice that some of the voice memos do not sync, and the Voice Memo tab under iPhone is blank. All the voice memos are still in my iPhone. How does that happen?

    In the music part of your iphone in itunes, uncheck the box for syncing voice memos. Then apply changes. Check that it is all gone on your iphone. Go back to itunes and check the box for voice memos and sync. Itunes would copy the voice memos back to your iphone in the process.
    that worked for me. +Don't forget to update to ios 6 latest, as apple fixed (at least improved) the bug causing wrongly sync music/voice memos not appearing.

  • My all voice memos are deleted,how to retrieve them

    my all voice memos are deleted after syncing it with itunes...how to retrieve them ??

    Thanks Bro. I have backup. and I did the same thing twice but only 26 contacts appear on the device. Now again yesterday after your suggestion again I restored the device but the result was same. Then I thought a new thing. I restored the device one more time but after restoring I didn't configure the icloud account. Surprisingly all my old contacts are there in the device but those 26 contacts are not there. Now I will tell you how this must have happened? I had 3gs earlier. that was stolen 3 months ago. I put the device in lost mode. I purchased new iphone4. I restored with itune. All my data came back. After that I saved these 26 new contacts to my device which also saved in icloud but when I tried to backup on my pc it was not happening. the messege coming device disconnected. 2 days back my stolen device came online. Lost mode was activated by icloud. But what I think in between that time the other fellow must have deleted the phone contacts. And as per icloud also deleted the same. Only the 26 contacts which I saved in these 3 months remained in icloud. Now bro can u help me out? What I should do? I have 26 contacts in icloud and < 500 in my device. I don't understand when all other Co's mobile you can import contacts from any backup file iphone can not. This is the DRAWBACK OF IPHONE.

  • How do i convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12?

    I need to convert a voice memo into MP3 with itunes 12.

    Today, I emailed myself an .m4a voice recording from an Android smartphone that had created that sound file minutes earlier.
    After opening that email message, I saved the .m4a sound file (a whopping 352 KB) to my Mac (iMac 21.5 inch running Yosemite).
    Clicking on the sound file's icon launched iTunes (version 12.0.1.26), which then did nothing no matter what I tried.
    However, when I selected the file on the desktop and navigated to the Finder/File/Open With dropdown window, a dialog box opened with alternative applications to use for opening the sound file. The available applications shown were VLC, QuickTime Player, Flip Player, and RealPlayer. I was pleased to find that VLC, QuickTime, Flip Player, and RealPlayer each opened and played the file straightforwardly and flawlessly.
    Apparently, Flip Player Pro (which I do not own) has a "save as" feature that might help you convert the file to the format you desire.

  • My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes

    My Ipod classic will not sync a tv show episode on Itunes even though I already have another episode working on my ipod classic and it says it

    How is your iPod configured to sync TV Shows?  What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's TV Shows configuration tab in iTunes?
    No error messsages when you sync your Classic with iTunes?  Try resetting all warnings with the device by right->clicking on it from under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes and choosing Reset warnings. Then resync your device to see if any errors appears.
