Syncing iPhone and voice memos?

Hi. If I sync my iPhone with a new computer for the first time iTunes says it must "erase and sync". Will this erase my current voice memos on my iPhone?

Oh, that's alright then.
Urgh.
I'm stuck in the music trap, I got a new computer and have never managed to transfer the many albums I'd painstakingly uploaded to the old library, the most important of which I have uploaded on the iPhone. I really don't want to have to start again. I quite understand that there are pirating/copywriting issues here, but why can't Apple realise that my voice memos are categorically not music! I didn't like finding them in my music library before I changed computers, but I like it even less now that I can't get them onto my computer at all. These are conversations I've recorded with my elderly father about his childhood and I really want to archive them somewhere safe - aargh!
Does anyone have a magical solution?

My iPhone 4 will not sync my new voice memos from the "Voice Memos" app to my computer. This is frustrating, should not be so hard, can someone please help. I use PC with windows 7 with iPhone version 6.1.3 and iTunes most recent. Thanks.

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

The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

going from 4s to 6 can I save my favorite voice mails and voice memos to put on my new phone via pc or cloud

If you are planning to set up your iPhone 6 by restoring the iCloud backup from the iPhone 4s, your Visual Voice Mails and Voice Memos will be restored.

Iphone 6 (Verizon,64GB,space gray) microphone works for text dictation and Siri but stopped working for calls and voice memos.

My iphone 6 the micorphone has stoppped working unless I speak loudly right into it and its still not clear during calls and voice memos. But it works just fine for Siri and text dictation. I use the earbuds for work so not sure how long its been going on. Only change is I updated to iOS 8.1.3. Not sure if I should exchange my phone or if its a software glitch since the same mic seems to work for some things and not others. Any ideas would be apreciated.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next step:

I have orphaned voice memos on my iPhone5 and cannot delete. Listed in iTunes but not on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help

I have the same problem and I still can't delete that stupid song. I downloaded it from Starbucks almost over a year ago!!!

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

Iphone 4 voice memo quits on opening

Verizon iphone 4 6.1.3 Apple Voice Memo has started quitting less than 2 seconds after opening reverting to home screen. Has never happened before and will not stay open now. Re-synced with itunes, turned off and on a number of times now and no relief with issue. I use Voice Memo almost daily to record song ideas .... What is going on? I searched for an answer on Google, Apple and Verizon and no fix is in sight. Help. Thank you.

Please list the iOS version your iPhone 4 is running, since that may have a bearing
on the issue, and perhaps any helpful advice someone may offer in passing.

Frankly, after looking into iPhone support, I am amazed at how lame and wasteful of my

Camera Roll and Voice Memos not automatically moving to iTunes or new computer

Hello!
Two weeks ago, my old computer (a 5-6 year old Windows Vista) broke and I spent a week saving everything that meant anything to me. We bought Windows 8 shortly after, and I began to set up my new itunes library, (much to my dismay - why is there no way of tranfering a library and all your playcounts?).
The problem is that everything will sync to my phone, but my camera roll photos and voice memos don't upload onto the computer like they did on my Windows Vista. There used to be an album called 'Voice Memos' on my itunes, which artist's name was the name of my phone, and a file in the 'My Music' folder where they would go to, and my pictures would create a file in 'My Pictures' which would name itself the date that they were copied from my iPhone to the Computer.
I have saved the settings on autoplay to 'ask me every time', but it still doesn't pop up. I understand that Vista and Windows 8 are extremely different but I need to somehow learn how to do this again on Windows 8. I have an iPhone 3GS, with the latest version of iTunes. The software on my phone has not been updated in a while, and I'm scared to do so now.
Please if anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated, I have tried to understand some of the other similar questions in the apple support communities but I don't understand how to carry any of these out - nor do any of the problems fit my dilemna.

We bought Windows 8 shortly after, and I began to set up my new itunes library, (much to my dismay - why is there no way of tranfering a library and all your playcounts?).
There is by including your iTunes library or media folder with your computer's backup along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.

The problem is that everything will sync to my phone, but my camera roll photos and voice memos don't upload onto the computer like they did on my Windows Vista.
Photos/videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll do not upload to your computer automatically with Vista or any other Windows version and are not included with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. When there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your computer. You can set a photo import app to launch automatically on your computer when a digital camera is connected including when the iPhone is connected with there are photos/videos in the Camera Roll, but that is a manual setting on your computer. iTunes is not involved with this process.
Voice memos can be synced with your iTunes library. This is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.

Manually manage music and voice memo's

Good morning all, so I can't figure this out, If I have my iTunes set to manually manage music and videos how do I synch my voice memo's? Last night when I was doing that it seemed to me I had to change it to synch selected songs and once I checked Voice Memo's it emptied my iPhone of all the music. Is that right, or am I missing something? Thanks for your help!

thanks for the reply but I was hoping to find out where they go on the Mac, from the Finder point of view... where are the actual files after syncing any iPhone with voice memo recordings on it ?
The answer is, at least for me, they go to the root level of your iTunes Music folder. There they will be given a date such as:
20091012 185152.m4a
These recordings seem to play fine on my:
Quicktime Player 7
Quicktime Player Snow Leopard version
In case this can help anyone out there, still love my iPhone 3gs !

Why is the mic not working working on speaker mode, even though siri and voice memos are working?

I bought my iphone 4s from canada about less than a month ago. It worked perfectly fine, until i recently discovered that the mic on speaker mode stopped working. That means, when i speak to someone on speaker during a call, they are unable to hear me.However Siri and voice memos are working fine. I could initially face-time but now i cant. I have also tried restoring my iphone a few times.
As i am based out of india, I contacted apple in India, they refused to touch the phone as it was purchased in Canada and the warranty is apparently applicable only in the country of purchase. I can in no way go back to canada to get the phone replaced. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Shouldnt apple be able to get this sorted since its a brand new phone under warranty?

Syncing IPhone and Macbook Mail To Do List

Does anyone have a way to sync IPhone and Mail To Do List?

unless you delete your to dos then once checked they will still appear in the to do list alongside the incomplete ones.
one work around is to create smart mailboxes, one for your completed to dos, and one for your the others. to create a smart mailbox, go to mailbox>create smart mailbox, then for the rule, select to dos and then select to dos are complete, to dos are incomplete. once these smart mailboxes are created you can then view your to dos with less cluter.
hope this helps

Reboot the phone: hold down the power button and the home button at the same time until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "slide to shut down". When the screen has been completely black for a few minutes, press the power button again.
