Syncing voice memos from multiple accounts to one iTunes library

I ran into an interesting one today. On the iMac at our house, we have 4 user accounts. All of them point to the same iTunes library (a shared directory that all can see). This has worked great so far, as we can all see all music, and updates are all there etc.
One of my daughters has been using the voice memo app to quickly record things she wants to keep. She has enough of them now she wants to make sure they get backed up. I searched the web and found that you can add syncing voice memos as an option in iTunes.  However, my other daughter must also have that checked off, and now when we go into iTunes, we see Voice memos, but it's only from the one phone (i.e. it doesn't appear it will sync multiple phones to separate voice memo libraries or even to the same library).
Does anyone know if you can direct your voice memos to a specific library, or what other alternatives I might have?  Ideally it would be automatic (like syncing) so that it's not something we forget to do.
Thx!

- Did it work before?
- Did you do this:
Moving recordings to your computer
You can sync voice memos with the iTunes library on your computer, and listen to them on your
computer or sync them with another iPod touch or iPhone.
When you delete a synced voice memo from iTunes, it stays on the device where it was recorded,
but it’s deleted from any other iPod touch or iPhone you synced. If you delete a synced voice
memo on iPod touch, it’s copied back to iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes, but you
can’t sync that copy back to iTunes a second time.
Sync voice memos with iTunes. Connect iPod touch to your computer. Then in iTunes, select
iPod touch. Select Music at the top of the screen, select Sync Music, select “Include voice memos,”
then click Apply.
Voice memos synced from iPod touch to your computer appear in the Music list and in the Voice
Memos playlist in iTunes. Voice memos synced from your computer appear in the Voice Memos
app on iPod touch (but not in the Music app).
- Does any media now sync to the iPod?

  • Problems with syncing voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC via iTunes,

    It is not possible to sync voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC (Windows 7) using iTunes. everything else synchronizes well, except the voice memos. It used to work previously (same equipment), but now it doesn't anymore. What should I do ?

    What is making you feel that the voice memos are not syncing? Are you seeing a folder created in the Playlist area called Voice Memos? Some have reported this is not necessarily being created, but the voice memos are still located in the Music library. I'm not at my main computer right now, so I cannot see how they are listed in the music library, but I know they are there.

  • Problems syncing voice memos from iphone

    When I am syncing my iphone, even though I have the "sync voice memos" box checked, my computer does not sync voice memos from my iphone.  There is a voice memo playlist in my computer's iTunes but it does not show as a possible playlist to sync with my iphone.  Can you help me?

    Same problem. I just noticed that when I click the triangle next to my mounted iphone in itunes and then select the voice memos playlist (which should give me a window into what is actually on the phone) it does not show any voice memos past a date in June - and I have several dozen memos recorded since then.  They are there when I look at them on the phone itself from within the voice memos app.
    It seems that for some reason itunes just can't tell they are there??

    Can I access music from multiple accounts on one cpu

    Here's one option: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12366
    But frankly you'd be better off creating unique user accounts on the computer and having seperate iTunes libraries for each user as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495

  • How do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch

    how do I download a voice memo from an ipod touch onto my library without erasing and syncing the itouch?

    Are you trying the "sync" the Voice Memos to a computer other than your syncing computer?  If it is to your syncing computer just follow the instructions in the Users Guide.  If to another computer you will have to make a backup of the iPod on that computer and then restore the iPod from that backup and then sync to the computer.

  • Transfer voice memos from iPhone 5 to mac iTunes without replacing all music on iPhone

    I have some new voice memos on my iPhone 5 as well as selected music from my iTunes.
    I want to transfer the new voice memos to iTunes on my mac but it appears that it will since my itunes library to my phone.
    The iPhone is connected to the mac.  i am in iTunes and I go to the Device listed as iPhone and click on music.
    When I click on the box that says Sync Music, I get a message that says
    Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies etc from this iPhone and sun with intones library...
    I click cancel instead of remove and sync.    In the sync music window in light grey I can see tha Selected playlists, artist and albums and genres is selected and include voice memos is checked.
    On summary I have Manually Manage Music and Videos checked.
    I just got the phone and i see on p 110 of the manual how to move recordings to your computer and it isn't doing what I want.
    I would like to move the voicemails to the computer without syncing the library and I would like to manually move some songs from iphone to iTunes on the mac.
    I also don't know if under Summary if I should check Sync only checked songs and videos
    Mac mini 10.5.8
    itunes 11.1.5
    7.1.1 iphone 5
    Thanks for any help.

    I think you need to find a third-party tool to copy voice memos from iPhone to Mac because iTunes can't do it. And the only option Apple offers is to backup your iPhone, either to iTunes or iCloud. However, by doing this, voice memos are packed into the backup file package. You can't view them until restore your iPhone with the backup file.

  • Export Voice Memos from iPhone 4 to Mac/itunes

    I'm trying to get Voice Memos from my iPhone 4 onto my computer so I can then subsequently put them on my iPhone 6. They didn't sync properly the first time I tried.
    The apple support told me that I would have to use third party software. Anyone know of any free programs? (TunesGo only allows 20 songs before you have to pay).
    THanks!

  • I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed?

    I am trying to copy voice memos from my iPhone 3GS to iTunes. The memos on the iPhone don't show up in iTunes. How can I proceed? I did select manual manage, and i included voice memos.
    But, the memos on the iPhone simply don't appear in iTunes. How can I get the memos from the phone to iTunes?

    Would this matter then? can you not update the 3g to the lastest software?

  • Multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library

    I have a question about multiple iPhones and one iTunes Library.
    Currently I have 3 PC's, 2 iPods and 2 iPhones.
    My PC had the iTunes library on it and everyone was just listening to mine via the iTunes sharing.
    Well I bought a Buffalo LinkStation and told itunes to move my library to M:\My Music\..... and then did a Consolidate Library which in turn moved all the music from my C: drive to the M: drive.
    My wife's computer has it's own Library with no music (only app store apps, and ringtones).
    Now my question is what happens if I tell my wifes computer that M:\My Music\....... is her new location of the library and restart itunes. I am pretty sure this will work fine. But what happens if she syncs her iPhone now? Will all my apps now be on her phone and she will lose hers? She does have her own itunes store account with her own apps. Is there a way to have it so only her apps are on her phone and my apps are on my phone? Can she choose different playlists to be synced than what I have?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Brad

    Since the three of you are using separate iTunes accounts, then you each need to run your own itunes, which should be logged into the itunes store using each individual account.  For that, on a laptop, you each need to have your own computer accounts.

  • Syncing voice memos from iPhone to computer

    I've had my iPhone 3GS for a pretty decent amount of time. My computer recently crashed, and I didn't have it backed up, so I'm starting from scratch. I have several class lectures recorded on my phone and I'd like to sync them to my computer. I've found the 'sync voice memos' option, but I'm confused; if I allow it to sync, does that mean it will erase all of the voice memos from my phone and sync it with the computer(which doesn't have any voice memos... starting from scratch, remember?)? Or does that imply that it will import the voice memos from my phone to my laptop?

    It will copy the voice memos from the iPhone to the computer. Voice memo sync is one way only; phone to computer. Deleting them on the computer does not affect those on the phone.

  • How do I sync voice memos from an iphone 4s to my PC?

    i plugged in my phone via usb to my computer and then i authorised the computer for the phone
    and now, I want to transfer the voice memos from my phone to my computer so that I can listen to it there
    however whenever i click sync it says that i've synced the phone with another computer and the only way to sync is to erase everything on my phone which obviously defeats the purpose of me transferring my voice memos to my comp.
    how can i change the settings or whatever to get the memos to my computer and allow me to sync without erasing everything?
    is there any way without having to download some sketchy app to help me?
    i just want to change the settings of my phone to sync with this computer and still have my voice memos.
    any help would be greatly appreciated

    To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
    If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • Managing apps for multiple users in one iTunes library

    Hi - my wife and I both have iPhones and separate iTunes ID's.  We both share music in one iTunes library and sync to the same library.  We also backup our phones to that same computer.  We have some apps on both phones (for example, Pandora) and when we backup/restore our phones, iTunes apparently will put "my" version of apps on her phone and "her" version of apps on my phone.  Afterwards, when I update apps, my phone will ask for BOTH my iTunes ID AND her iTunes ID.   Similarly, her phone asks for both her ID and my ID.  Presumably, this also uses two of my FIVE authorized devices, which is also a problem.
    My question is how can we manage our apps separately on iTunes so that we can get rid of this annoying behavior?  It is very common for families to share one common iTunes library, so I don't see why this would be unsupported.
    Thanks for any assistance!

  • Newly repaired laptop- how can I sync voice memos from to itunes from my iphone without erasing the contents of my phone?

    Hi,
    Can anyone help with this? MyDell laptop died and I had to wipe it and start all over again. I use voice memos a lot for work and I need to sync them onto my PC so I can email them to people. However, since I fixed my laptop and redownloaded itunes I can't sync my iphone without first erasing everything that's on it. Sigh. Please help!!
    MM

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device.  Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    Try move your iTunes library folder from old computer to the new one.
    Refer to these articles:

  • Problem sharing photos from multiple accounts on one Mac

    I am trying to share two different iPhoto libraries from two different User Accounts on the same Mac. In each account I have iPhoto Sharing 'Look for shared photos' and 'Share my photos' checked. I also have the Firewall on with port 8770 enabled.
    1. From a Powerbook I can only connect to one library. Once I pick that first library the second library will not load at all. I have to quick and restart iPhoto in order to select the second library. -- I fixed this by turning off my Firewall. With the Firewall off I can switch between the libraries at will. My question, what ports should I enable besides 8770 to allow multiple instances of iPhoto to run? (Just like you need multiple ports to have the ATV connect to multiple instances of iTunes.)
    2. When I am configured as above, my two iPhoto applications do not see each other. They can both see and connect to the Powerbook. And the Powerbook can see each running instance. But neither iPhoto instance on the same Mac can see the other. This is new with iPhoto '08. I was able to do this with iPhoto '06.
    Thank you

    HI Darien,
    Here are all the links I have for the different kinds of sharing:
    SHARING IPHOTO LIBRARIES
    Sharing libraries between users on the same local network
    You can also share a library on the same machine between users the same way.
    Sharing libraries between users on the same machine...
    -both users must have sharing enabled in their iPhoto Preferences
    -both users must be logged in and have iPhoto running
    -Remember that you can only view the other library. You can't edit the photos or play the saved slideshows or view the made books or burn them to CD or DVD. The books and slideshows will show up as an album. You can play that album as an "on the fly" slideshow. You can drag images from the sharing library to your library in the source column to import them to your library. You can then edit, add to albums, books, slideshow, etc.
    Sharing links from Apple....
    Sharing your photos between computers
    About shared photos
    Turning off photo sharing
    Looking for shared photos
    SHARING ONE IPHOTO LIBRARY BETWEEN USERS ON SAME MACHINE
    You can try one of these three methods:
    1- Use iPhoto Library Manager-the paid version
    The documentation page will give instructions on how it is done.
    2- Sharing one iPhoto library between several users on one machine
    3- Share an iPhoto Library in tiger Using ACL's
    4- I have also read about ShareAlike
    There is no other info on the site about how it works.
    I strongly urge anyone wanting to try any of the methods for sharing one iPhoto Library folder among more than one user to backup all iPhoto Library folders before attemptin anything.
