Shared voice memos will not play on recipient's iPhone

My wife and I both have 16GB 3GSs. She's on 3.1.2, and I'm on 3.1.
If I create a voice memo and then choose to share it via email, when she receives the email on her iPhone, she's unable to play it. Her iPhone tells her taht it cannot play m4a files.
I think this is rather strange....
Any ideas?

When you record a VM, does the VUY meter show the level?
What happens when you try to play the VM? Does it appear to play but with no sound?
Have yu tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod?

Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

Voice memos will not play

The voice memos appear to have been recorded on my I-pod Touch as it list the date and length of the recording, but it will not play or sync the voice recording.

Voice memos will not play full recording

I have a 4 hour 46 minute meeting recorded but can only play the first 2 minutes and 2 seconds of the recording.
As you can see from the screen dump above the recording shows 4h 46m 9s but the player at the bottom only allows the first 2m 2s to be played. The recording will sync to my PC but again only the first 2:02 is copied across.
Does anyone know why this happens and how to recover the original 4h 46m recording?

I just had the same problem with a 2:10 minute voice memo only sending or playing back the first 12 seconds. theres nothing anywhere on the internet to help me. Did you figure out what to do?

Voice Memos - does not play or sync to iTunes

Is there a file size limit with Voice Memos? I recorded a 35 minute file which appears on the iPhone. However it will not play - and does not appear in iTunes when I sync. Have the latest iPhone software and latest version of Leopard.

Voice Memo will not export into iTunes

I am currently using an iPhone 3GS and I have a 2008 MacBook running Lion with the latest version of iTunes 10.4.1. For some reason, I cannot get voice memos to import into iTunes. I don't know if length of memos has anything to do with this or not, but it hasn't been an issue in the past. In iTunes, I choose to manually import my digital media since the storage capacity of my current iPhone is relatively small.
I work as a vocational high school counselor. I like to record meetings with students so that the have an audio record of the things that we cover for college prep. The meetings can run fairly long, which is standard, I'm hoping that the length isn't an issue. Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you see a Voice Memos playlist in iTunes?
Check out page 162 of the iPhone User Guide.
iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos app until you delete them. If you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the iPod app on iPhone using the Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPhone:
Connect iPhone to your computer.
In iTunes, select iPhone in the Devices list.
Select Music at the top of the screen.
Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.

Voice Memos will not sync debacle

This is an open thread many times over yet I see no orthodox solution. Apple, I address this to you. I have hundreds of voice memos on my iPhone 5s. I have over 900 of them relatively safely transferred to my Macbook Pro. But there are still sporadic unsynched/un-backed-up Voice Memo recordings that have not made the journey from my iPhone. They are stuck there. They are taking up all the space. I need them on my computer and they will not transfer. iTunes refuses. Computer says no.
Include Voice Memos is selected.
What do I do, Apple? What is this strange bug? How does one squash it? Come now, mighty Apple and work your sleek magic... tell me what to do. There is a direction I have neglected to wave my eyes in, or drag my thumb across the surface of some plane... you have stumped my intuition and my logic and my problem solving and I want to throw iTunes into a blender on a star to make the cake of flaming misery, I am so despondent.
This is the meal you'd have me serve my kith and kin.
Where's the big button that makes things work, Apple? Where's that special idiot-proof thing that stops things being dumb?
Please. I beg of you. Mercy, Apple. Have mercy. I need my freaking voice memos, why is iTunes being arbitrary in its recognition of those I would want transported from my phone to my computer?
And sorting them is another matter - please don't tell me I have to wade into my archives and edit tiny portions of these things, rename the files - one by one, to have the program recognise them as something new that it might drag them through the cable to the safe harbour of my laptop and possibly some external drive along the way... Two Apple products joined in holy technonomy by a freaking thunderbolt-usb... whatever the **** it's called cable - I mean for goodness sake - can I not simply migrate the whole freaking bunch of them to a folder? Why cause such widespread suffering and confusion?
Help me Apple. Someone freaking help me. Help us all. Save us from losing our minds to the dementia of iTunes.

Voice Memos will not start recording.

I can pull up the application, but when I tap the record button, nothing happens. The little dial that says "VU" doesn't move, the red recording circle symbol doesn't change to a pause or stop button. Is this an application error? Any suggestions?

I bought an iTouch 3rd Generation last March my voice memos worked fine in the beginning but eventually the app just quit working due to new firmware update. Ever since I updated to 3.0 or 3.1 (can't remember exactly) my voicememo application quit working... I just downloaded 4.3 and that did not fix problem neither. The icon for voice memos used to be red ever since I started udating firmware from 3.0 or 3.1 on it turned blue and it also quit working. Can't get dragon dictate to work neither... can anyone please help these apps are absolutely vital to me! I am really bummed out that i cannot use them... Thanks

Help! Voice memos will not sync!

I have checked all the right boxes for my voice memos to sync, but still 1 out of 3 will sync. Why won't the other 2 sync??

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

HT5470 My voice memos will not save

I cannot get any of my voice memos to save, what am I doing wrong?

I used to be able to save voice memos, convert them to mp3, copy them to an outside folder and email them as attachments. This was very useful as I teach ESL, and I could record my students, and email them their work separately with comments. Now, I can still convert the voice memos to mp3, but the 'Copy' function doesn't work. Any ideas?

My apple tv will not play videos from my iphone 6

I have an iPhone 6 and two separate Apple TVs. Neither of the televisions with their respective Apple TV device will play any video taken on the iPhone 6.
I can plan videos from Facebook or an emailed video, but not the videos taken with the iPhone.

my iPhone 6 can play videos that I shot with the the phone to the AppleTV I have a 1080p version and a older 720p it works with both, it cannot however play slow-motion videos recorded with the phone most likely because the frame rate is not supported by either the AppleTV or the television itself at 120 frames per second or 240. Make sure you have the latest updates on both your phone and the AppleTV.

IHome iA91 will not play music from iPhone 4

Hey everybody,
I'm having an issue that seems to be fairly common, but lacks a solid solution.
Whenever I dock my iPhone 4, the iHome iA91 will not play music. My iPhone continues to play music through its own speakers, but will not use the iHome's speakers. A message also pops up on my phone saying, "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPhone," even though the iHome iA91 lists the iPhone 4 as compatible. On top of that, it worked when I first got the iHome and now it suddenly will not play my phone. The volume bar on the iPhone also randomly disappears and returns while it's docked.
I have tried resetting my phone (home+power), I have restored my phone to stock, I have power cycled the iHome, all to no avail. The iHome speakers will still play the radio and alarms work as usual, and my phone charges without issues.
I'm getting quite frustrated and am desperately seeking an answer. Thanks in advance to everyone who reads or replies.

Hi Adam,
Try the steps mentioned below to resolve the issue:
1. Disconnect iPhone from Docking System, restart both the System and the iPhone and then reconnect iPhone to the System.
2. If this didn't helps, try resetting both the units. You can reset the Docking System by pressing RESET at base using pin pointed object like paper clip.
3. Also, try updating iPhone and to latest version and check if that helps.
NOTE: If iPhone has the case or cover, the device may not be set correctly. Remove the case or cover from the iPhone and set the device again.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as "Accepted Solution".
Thank you for your post.

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.
