Over capacity iPhone 4 - can't sync and get voice memos to computer

Hi, My friend is overcapacity on your iPhone, and can't even sync at all to get voice memos off her iPhone to her computer. It says can't sync Photos. She is syncing songs with her iTunes library, I guess, it would be good idea to remove a bunch of songs from iTunes library on the computer so when it sync's it will remove those from iPhone. Or, would it better to manage music on the iPhone manualy and have them be removed... ? (Would this delete voice memos)
I ask because the voice memos are important and we dont want to lose them... thanks for any advice

I have 16GB of 'Other' on my iPhone4, 3.7 GB 'Audio', 5.7 GB of Apps and 3.9 GB of free space.
If I try to sync my voice memos, it says I cannot sync because it will exceed total space by 4.4 GB. I can't get them off. If I try turning off other syncing options, itunes tells me it will delete everything. How evil is that? What should I do? These are priceless recordings of my late grandmother. What can I do that is risk-free? I have around 400 recordings and around 700 priceless notes.
Is Apple really like this? Or am I having a nightmare? Why can't I just copy or drag the files off my f$#%ing iphone?
iPhone explorer seems to delete the subject names and destroy the recording dates information. I just triediphone explorer. It marks each date and time as now (insane) and deletes all title information. Don't do it. I am a documentary maker and this is the stuff of litigation. I call for a class action lawsuit against apple to anyone who has lost data. Go to www.publicopinion.co.

How to get voice memo to computer, without sync u Iphone with pc library

okay, what i want to find is how ( and there better be a way, couse i am ****** ), how can i get my voice memo from iphone to computer. I have a very important lecture recorded, the issue is that now i am using a different laptop and my iphone is not sync with my new laptop's itunes library.
I was using itunes 9.1 or smth, and when i first connected my iphone, after recording memo ( to my new laptop ) it wrote a new voice memo is detected or something do you want to copy it, i pressed yes, and it copied the voice memo, i listened to it and then i deleted it, because i thought that the sound quality was better listening on iphone through the headphones then on laptop, but now i need to mail, that voice memo to my friend. That lecture is an hour long so i can't mail through iphone or mms, and when i connect my iphone to itunes the lecture does not appear as new and it doesn't offer to copy it to pc. So is there anyway to get the voice memo to my pc. ( i tried deleting itunes and reinstalling, because i thought, that maybe the reinstalled itunes would detect the voice memo as new, but it didn;t ( **** you apple with your leftovers ... )
Anyway, i really need help with this, hope apple technical staff will be able to answer it, though i doubt they will ...
Anyway, any help is appreciated, thank you in advance guys.
p.s. i can't sync my iphone with new laptop's itunes library because voice memo would be deleted then.
Please help

You'll need to use third party software to extract the voice memo from your phone. You are correct in that since you deleted the memo from your itunes library, it will be deleted from your phone if you do sync:

How can i sync a full voice memo?

How come if i sync an voice memo (between iPhone and Macbook via iTunes) it only syncs part of the file, not the whole file.
For example only 4min instead of 20min?

When you sync your iPhone using iTunes on your computer, the voice memo becomes added to a "Voice Memos" playlist in iTunes' music section. I believe this is a default action. If it is not default, when your iPhone is plugged into iTunes, look for a checkbox to make this happen on the "Music" tab in the iPhone's area of iTunes.

In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

My computer died when I was syncing music from iTunes onto my iPad. I can reset it and get it running, but I want to get back my photos and videos. How do I get back photos and videos in recovery mode?

Why do you think you have them on there? Have you allowed someone to physically have each device and jailbreak it?

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone. Authorize your computer for your itunes account
About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars. So do NOT sync yet. This is why a backup copy is so important.
Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data. Choose it.
If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync. They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

IPhone can only sync with one computer?

Well I'm not even really syncing my iPhone, I set it to manual so I could pull songs off of my cousins computer because I don't put many songs on mine. But I went over his house and said I had sync it thus I had to delete all the songs off my iPhone so I could get his... I didn't do it but I have to ask, is this suppose to happen? Or is there a way around it like I could do with my iPod?

The iPhone can only sync with ONE music (iTunes) library at a time. You can't "merge" songs from more than one iTunes library. This is different than with the iPod.
you can merge 2 itunes catalogs to 1 ipod? wow i didn't know that cool.

ITunes shows my iPhone as over capacity, iPhone disagrees (screenshots)

I turned on iTunes Match yesterday on my Mac & iPhone 4S. I deleted all of the files on my Mac and redownloaded the 256kb/sec versions, and turned off music syncing on my iPhone, sync'd (wiped the music), turned it off, turned it on again, then let it sync all of the music from the cloud overnight.
However, now when I sync my iPhone 4S on my Mac it says that the music has filled (over filled, infact) the iPhone 4S and it's over capacity by 3.2gb with music using up around 10Gb or more of storage, yet the iPhone itself thinks only 5.9gb is in use.
I sync'd it with iTunes again and it hasn't made any difference.
iTunes says 11.8gb of audio and 3.2gb over capacity:
iPhone 4S says that only 5.8gb is in use for music, and 2.8gb is available:
Any ideas?

I'm seeing this also, on both my iPhone and iPad. I have enabled iTunes match, which has all started up and syncs (more or less) correctly but am getting frequent over capacity messages.
I think it's a cosmetic bug in the iTunes capacity gauge. With my devices, if I come out of iTunes and re-start, the gauge shows the correct capacity. That is, it matches what the iDevice reports.
But when I start a sync, the gauge seems to double in capacity the readings for those files stored in iTunes match.
I wonder if the gauge is showing what is already on the iDevice, PLUS what is available in iCloud?
In any case, it still all seems to work correctly - the iTunes sync runs ok on my Mac, and the device still has the correct amount of capacity available. It's just the gauge showing wrong.
Hopefully a fix will come. It is a bit annoying though
