Voice Memo Crashing - Help.

My "voice memo" keeps crashing when i try to open it. It has played since my last software update, so I'm not sure what happened. When I sync my phones through itunes, my new voice memos won't transfer either. Any thoughts on how to retrieve the data?

I got through to apple help line on the phone. It was a corrupt program. They had me back up all my data and then reformat the phone which re-installed the latest voice memo program. Fortunately, all my voice memos stayed in tact and once the program was re-installed it opened them again. Because it is an error on apple's side, there is no cost for the phone tech help. Good luck!

Voice Memo Crashes Upon Opening App

Ever since the upgrade to 6.1, my iPhone 5 will not open Voice Memos. It immediately crashes yet stays open in the bottom tab. I can't find a solution anywhere. I have hard reset my phone etc. The app is basically rendered useless. Any known fixes out there?

Well buddy, if like me you've been buying Apple product for 20 years (over $20K of all sorts of their products from pro Computer to iPods, iPhone etc) and encountered a long list of unresolved problems recently ever since I got my iPhone 5 and also 2 brand new Mac Minis you'd feel the same.
Also I did updated to the latest iTunes, not only I hated it, it did not fix any of my problems and it was painfully slow so I went back to 10.7. Plus the fact that Voice memo doesn't launch has nothing to do with iTunes
PS resetting did not fix it

My latest OS upgrade (to 6.1.3) resulted in loss of all music on the iPhone. It is still on my computer intact, but cannot get it back on the phone. If I click on music under the iPhone icon in iTunes, it shows me only voice memos. Help!

after upgrades, suddenly no music is on or can be synched to the iPhone. It is all there on my computer but cannot get it to synch back. I tried copying over older itl fils t no avail.
If I click on music under the iPhone icon within iTunes, it shows on a dozen or so voice memos. (also shows them under "Voice memos").
Itunes version is 11.0.3 (42)
Any suggestions?

From the requirements point of view, you can happily move to iOS 6. From the user tranquility pov, it's a crapshoot. Remember that MILLIONS of iDevices have been sold, a couple of those just this past Xmas season and hence all with iOS 6 preinstalled. "Many complain in the forums" is a number that ranges in the 10's or 100's: i.e., a minuscule amount of the total devices out there. And. of course, nobody comes here to gush excitedly about how well his iGadget works; everybody here (save those of us regular users who attempt to help, we're not Apple employees) has a gripe, grumble or complaint.
I can tell you from personal experience that my i5 with iOS 6.1.4 works as desired. All my colleagues' iPhones with iOS 6 work as expected. And we have a particularly flaky Wi-Fi environment thanks to our less than stellar netadmins.
But in the end, it is entirely up to you. Will you bite the bullet, or wait some more? Check the new stuff that came with iOS 6 and decide whether or not to risk it.

Iphone 4 voice memo crash?

So i am an iphone 4 user.
Just today, i have use my voice recorder to record a VERY IMPORTANT interview, the whole interview takes about 39:46s, and yes, i can remember the number so clearly is because i do take a look before i press the stop button. After that, when i try to listen the voice memo, the time had changed to 0s, it was so scary!! how can it change to 0s?
THE VOICE MEMO IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME!! PLS HELP ME!!

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.

If you want to try & recover 'deleted' or lost Voice memos on iPhone 4, this article
at iFixit.com may be helpful; the causes are mentioned as is a path to try:

Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade - ASC discussion from last year
Had you looked to see if any Voice Memos re-appeared by accident -- in iTunes?
Did you see the Support section where manuals, and some helpful ideas for iPhone appear?
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/
Frankly, after looking into iPhone support, I am amazed at how lame and wasteful of my
time to try & find information, to help you, has been. The entire site seems dumbed/down.
So one of the other things is to look in search engine results, per example:
iphone 4 voice memo restore:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=iPhone+4+voice+memo+restore
restore voice memo iphone 4:
https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=restore+voice+memo+iphone+4
Sorry to not be of much help, as I was looking to see if you'd mentioned the OS X 10.10
issues in another discussion, and saw this instead. You may have to re-state the issue
in regard to that other topic. And I hope these two topics are not related, for your sake.
Good luck & happy computing!

Just got a new iphone and am syncing it with itunes, but it will not transfer my new music or voice memos. Help?

I just got a new iphone 3GS and was trying to sync it with my itunes information from my old phone. However, I keep getting multiple error messages and after the sync is complete, I find that everything has transferred except my purchased itunes music and voice memos (I record my class lectures). I am not sure what I can do to fix this. Any ideas?

The error messages are:
-"Attempting to copy to the disk 'My Iphone' failed. An unknown error occured (-69)."
-"The iphone 'My Iphone' cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in itunes library."
-"The iphone 'My Iphone' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13010)."

IPhone 5 Voice Memo crash due to alerts

Hello all-
I have had the iPhone5 for about a month and just started using the VoiceMemo app to record meeting notes and discussions. Overall, usually works fine, but I notice that if I am recording and I get any kind of reminder alert from the calendar, or an incoming phone call, or an incoming text, it kills the recording in progress and doesn't even save what I had recorded up until that moment. Very frustrating especially if I am 30-45 minutes into a meeting/discussion, all is lost! Any ideas or tips?
Many thanks!!

Put your phone in Airplane mode. That will stop all calls, SMS's, etc. Then start your recording.
Also turn off your alerts before you start.

I accidently deleted my voice memos on my iphone. i was using itunes on two different computers and my voice memos are gone. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RETRIEVE MY LOST VOICE MEMOS? PLEASE HELP!

itunes asked me if iwanted to erase all my files on my iphone when i connected it to my second computer.
i clicked yes
and all of my very important voice memos were deleted
however none of my photos were deleted...... and they count as files don't they?
anyway i need help on how to retrieve deleted voice memos
PLEASE HELP!!!

You should never try to sync your phone with more than one computer or you will lose your data. The pictures were not deleted because the sync process does not touch Camera Roll pictures (it only includes them during the backup step of the sync process).
If you had these voice memos on your phone when you last synced it to your first computer, and if you haven't synced to this computer since then, you could restore from the backup created during your last sync. This will replace the data on your phone with the data from this older backup so anything new will be lost. If you think that is the case, do not sync your phone again to the first computer prior to restoring from this backup or you will overwrite it and the backup will be lost. Instead, prior to connecting your phone to your first computer, open iTunes and disable automatic syncing by going to iTunes Preferences and on the Devices tab checking "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and select Restore From Backup and choose your last backup (containing your voice memos).
If you didn't have these voice memos on your phone when you last synced to your first computer, or if you have synced again to your first computer since losing your data, then your voice memos and other data are lost.

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).

Voice memos aren't seen by computer, can't sync

I am trying to sync voice memos from my iphone (ios8) to itunes (12.something) on my mac.
The voice memos are on the phone.
iTunes doesn't show them.
Thus, 2 questions about syncing - 1 (obviously) - how can I get itunes to recognize that they're there.
And 2 - how do I sync them MANUALLY? I see lots of suggestions to sync music clicking voice memos but I can't do that when I want to deal with my data manually. If I turn off manually then I get a scary message something like "we're going to completely empty out your phone, do you really want to do this?".
Unfortunately, I'm trying to keep things simple and under my control, which Apple no longer seems to allow with each upgrade....
Thanks!!

I have looked everywhere. Everyone is having this problem. And Apple has not taken the time to explain what is going on with Voice Memos, to help us. I usually don't complain but I have been trying for weeks to figure out how to access my Voice Memos on my Mac, which has caused me to lose much valuable time, and I feel I am at least somewhat intelligent and can usually figure any problem out, with enough time and investigation. Apple should help its users understand what to do with larger files, and WARN us not to record long, important files when they freeze up as they seem to often do. Also to explain what is going on when the files WILL NOT sync to iTunes- or rather, can't be SEEN in iTunes, and if they don't want us to see them, or organize them, to explain WHY. If Apple wants the Voice Memo app to ONLY be used for very short recordings that can be e-mailed or messaged out, they should make this clearer by setting a LIMIT on the actual recording time, having it stop automatically, etc. And the Memos "seem" to be backed up on either iTunes or iCloud because I lost my iPhone, purchased a new one and all my former Voice Memos were synced back onto the new phone, but I still can't see them in iTunes. I am so frustrated with Apple, and, not that it matters, but I have been a dedicated Apple user (including a member of Mobile Me AND .Mac), all the way back to OS 6 and I still have the "floppies" to prove it.

IPhone 4 Won't Sync Voice Memos to iTunes

I cannot get my voice memos on my iPhone to sync to iTunes for the life of me.... I have at least 10 and everytime I hit the sync button it goes through the process but never puts them into my library. I even have the check mark checked. I read that trimming the voice memos can help, but that didn't work for me. Also tried reorganizing library and deleted voice memo playlist, but I am struggling on this one. Any ideas would be most helpful. I feel like there is a bug with the app or something.

I'm having the exact same problem. IPhone 4, ITunes 10.6

HT1296 My computer crashed. How do I get my voice memos back off my iphone to my itunes again? PLEASE help? I've tried to sync, but they won't go back onto the program, they are just staying on the phone.

I tried to upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8................BIG MISTAKE. I crashed my i5 4.8 with 8 gigs of memory and lost all of my voice memos in my i-tunes. I still have most on my i-phone 4s, but really need them on my computer for a court case. I reloaded my laptop, but when I synced my phone, it won't reload the old voice memos, just the new ones. How can I get it to reload, or "sync" the old memos back into itunes on my laptop?

For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

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