Syncing Voice Memos in 11.4

The very last thing that used to happen during a sync between my iPhone 5S and iTunes 11.4 on my MacBook Pro was a prompt asking me if I wanted to import new voice memos on my device into my iTunes library. At some point in the last month or so I stopped getting that prompt. And now syncing my iPhone with my iTunes does not result in new memos recorded on my phone appearing in my library. Under the Music tab in my iTunes the greyed-out "Include Voice Memos" is checked... but like many I don't want to wipe everything off my iPod by checking the "Sync Music" box there... and I'm not sure this will help anyway. Answers? Help? Thanks for your time.

IPhone syncs Voice Memos after unchecking sync box in iTunes

I do not want to sync my voice memos from my iphone to itunes so i have unchecked the sync voice memos option and they still continue to sync over and itunes creates a playlist for voice memos. I have tried this numerous times and even after a restore it still happens? Anyone have any ideas?

It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
Keep in mind that 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.
The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

I tunes will not sync voice memos off of Iphone in yosemite

I just updated my macbookpro with the new Yosemite update. However, It won't let me sync voice memos off of my phone! I tried the same thing with my music library and I can only add to the iphone. It will sync music and voice memos on but not off. Photos and videos have come off my iphone so it is not an issue of nothing can be taken off. I have tried fiddling with new itunes forever but I just can't figure it out!
Oh and also it won't sync my contacts off my phone either....
If it helps, it is an iphone 4 so that may be a problem?
Please help, Thank you!

I use a program called iTools. It's an alternative for iTunes and it's more like import/export type of thing rather than sync. I like the windows version better but the Mac version works ok too. And it is free
It should look like this:

How do you sync voice memos?

I have new voice memos that I would like to sync, however I dont know how to do it. I have synced memos in the past and they are on itunes. how do I sync new memos?

From the Users Guide:
Syncing Voice Memos
iTunes syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPod touch to
your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a
backup if you delete them from iPod touch.
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 iPod touch, it isn’t deleted
from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from
iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes.
You can sync the iTunes Voice Memos playlist to the Music app on iPod touch using
the Music pane in iTunes.
Sync the Voice Memos playlist to iPod touch:
1 Connect iPod touch to your computer.
2 In iTunes, select iPod touch in the Devices list.
3 Select Music at the top of the screen.
4 Select the “Include voice memos” checkbox and click Apply.
Some users have had to create the Voice Memos playlist since it did not get automatically created.

How do you sync voice memos and make CD's of them?

How do you sync voice memos and make CD's of them?

When you sync the phone with your computer voice memos are copied to your iTunes library with the Genre "Voice memo".
To burn to CD you do it the same way you would any music; create a playlist of the memo(s), the right click on the playlist and choose "burn to CD".

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.

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.

Syncing voice memos to iTunes

Got me an iPod touch, 64GB. Using it a lot for Voice Memos. But even though I've set iTunes to "sync voice memos", and even though I've got my voice memos on iTunes already. every time I plug in the iPod it asks if I want to add the "new voice memos" to iTunes. I don't want to, because I have them on iTunes already - and if I accept, it just doubles them up. Am I missing something obvious in the settings here?
Thanks
Tony

UPDATE - Apparently large files cannot be mailed out. So far I can verify that a 27 minute memo cannot be mailed.

Cannot sync voice memos after reinstalling Snow Leopard

Hello - I cannot sync to my same ipod - my computer is treating it like a foreigner. I've already accepted the fact that I had to erase my photos, music, videos. I've finally decided to restore my ipod to factory settings, but I can't do that until I backup my voice memos!
I absolutely refuse to let go of those, I have almost 9 months worth of voice memos. iTunes will not sync them, regardless of whether I checked the "Sync voice memos" in the Music section of the sync section of iTunes. What should I do?
4th gen iPod Touch
software ver: 4.3.1
I'm pretty sure that if the iTunes is refusing to sync the files, the files are not in the backup. The backup process goes too quickly for that to be so.
Please help!

And backing them up by email is not an option, since some of the files are over 30 minutes long.

Syncing voice memos

I had a 3GS and never had a problem syncing recorded voice memos from my iphone to my mac. I would sync and they would show up in a folder in itunes called "Voice Memos". I have ensured that no settings have changed and the box to sync voice memos is checked. I am frustrated because I have recorded some voice memos recently and they will not transfer over to my mac. Is there something I need to select that I missed w/ iphone 4 or a setting I overlooked? I understand that existing voice memos on my mac will sync to my iphone but I want voice memos that I recorded to go to my mac, save and then I can erase on my iphone to clear up memory and simplify things. Let me know if anyone has a fix. The voice memos are not that long, a few minutes in length. Please email me at [email protected] I have a MPB 17" late 2009/OSX 10.6.4/iPhone OS4.

Hi to all.
I have the following situation:
1) in iTunes the "sync music" option, in the appropriate section for my iPhone, is *unchecked* (I don't want to sync music)
2) I have some (important) voice memos on the iPhone
I want to transfer the memos on my mac, and I understand I have to "sync" in iTunes.
Now, if I check the "Sync Music" box in iTunes, it shows a warning saying that this will delete everything on the iPhone, before syncing.
Will this erase the voice memos in the "Voice Memos" app on the iPhone (beside deleting the music in the "iPod" app, about which I don't mind)?
Is there another way?
Thank you

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??

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.

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?

Im trying to put music on my iphone. when i click music all it says is "itunes match is on" and only lets me click a box that says "sync voice memos" what do i do

Im trying to put music on my iPhone, when i click music all kt says is itunes match is on and has a box for me to click sync voice memos nothing else what do i do

Correct. When you purchase devices, they would have stated the OS they needed to work, on the box. This can be overlooked, but it is very important to check when purchasing.
You current OS, is so old, that they technology build into the new devices, is not something your OS understands. It didn't exist when your OS was created, and therefore you need to upgrade the OS to work with the newer technology of these devices.
10.6 software is not downloadable. You must purchase a DVD disc. You can order it from the on-line apple store
