Voice Memo custom labels won't save since OS 4.0 - verified at Genius bar

I use voice memos to record invoicing information as I go through my day. I then open the new recording, select Custom, and name the entry something meaningful (makes it easier to reference later). Since the OS 4.0 (and now 4.0.1 as well) upgrade, once I exit the Voice Recorder app, and the open it again - all of the custom names for recording are gone. They are not saved. I went to the genius bar and the tech. verified that the same thing happened with his iPhone.
- I'm new to Apple... just got my iphone a few months ago. What has the history been of Apple resolving issues and bugs like this in a new OS release? It worked perfectly prior to the update, and since it's easily re-creatable on another iPhone, it's clearly a bug... any thoughts?

Hi Jim~
I've done the restart and reset with the same result. I'm not anxious to do a restore until I have cleared all pending voice memo's and my invoicing is up to date - just in case!! I do have a backup in iTunes - but since this represents my revenue, I'll hold off on that for a short time.
One question though - the tech. was able to recreate this at the genius bar on his phone easily; I just wanted to confirm with you - Are you actually CLOSING the voice recorder app, or just leaving the app? If you open the currently multi-tasking apps on your dock (the jiggling open applications) and end the session with the application - then reopen it... that is when you see the failure. If you just close it and then go back in ... the custom labels are maintained.
Just wanted to have you check that before I went to the trouble of a restore - everything else is working perfectly!
Thanks!

Voice memos from iPhone4 won't transfer to iTunes

I cannot move the voice memos on my iPhone 4 into iTune (10.7). I have recently upgraded to my operating system to Mountain Lion so that I can use iCloud, but this was happening before that.

Did you check under music, that is where voice memos goes, when you sync your phone to itunes. also check that you have voice memo check in itunes.

Files won't save since Maverick upgrade

I have a file that exist in a folder and would like to replace it with an updated version of the same file (example.xls with example.xls) it asks if I want to replace and I say yes but the original file remains. I must first delete the original then svae the new version. This is only since I did the Maverick upgrade. Is there a fix for this.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HT201401 I have just updated to the iOS7 on my i-phone4. Can someone PLEASE help me to cancel the voice memos from recording. I cannot stop it andhave a red "recording paused bar at the top of my screen.

I have just updated to the iOS7 on my i-phone4. Can someone PLEASE help me to cancel the voicememos from recording. I cannot stop it and have a red "recording paused bar at the top of my screen.

Thanks for that. I just realised that that is the way you have to close down all of your open apps. The way I got out of the recording memo was to tap the top of the screen and then I could cancel the recording.

Voice Memos won't sync to iPhone

I have Voice Memo's in the "iTunes\iTunes Media\Voice Memos" Folder that won't sync across to my iPhone. Is there a way of getting them to transfer across?
I am using iOS 5 and iPhone 3GS 32GB.
Thanks,

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

How do I email a voice memo without slowing down all other applications?

I am trying to email a 1minute voice memo and it won't complete the process. It shows as sending in email but stays in the outbox all day. In the meantime, all the operations on my phone are much slower and when I charge the phone it flashes off and on, losing the charge each time. Any ideas?
Is there another way to save my voice memo on my computer without having to email it?

If you are just trying to find a way to get a voicememo to your own computer without emailing them, just sync them to iTunes and they will appear in the iTunes library.

How do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist, how do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist

I can get my voice memos from my iphone onto itunes on my Mac but when I sync my ipad, it doesn't sync. So I can only listen on my iphone using the voice memos app, which is very frustrating, since you cannot pause it and restart or gets interrupted when you get a call or on my computer. I would love to review some lectures I have taped on my ipad. Any way of doing this

The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred. Here is some more information on that if you want to check it out for future use: https://evernote.com/contact/support/kb/#!/article/28606837

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

How do I find the voice memo file stored in the backup on my computer?

I am trying to find the file on my computer for the voice memos. I tried to save the voice memo and it was deleted from my iphone 5. I am trying to retrieve it from a previous backup on my computer.

They are in the backup created by iTunes of your iPhone.
You will need a 3rd party application top get them out.
Google view iOS backup to see a bunch of apps.

Voice Memos won't save my recordings?

I'm in college so I usually record my classes for further detailing, but I just recently discovered that Voice Memos just won't save my recordings like 2/5 of the time. I already lost like 4 important ones for the past 3 days.
The thing is that I see it recording, but it just doesn't save it, and it's just sitting there at 00:00:00 with the name tag I had put. I want to die.

- Does you iTunes library already contain a Voice Memos playlist? Some users have had to manually create it in order for the sync to occur.
- Also try resetting your iPod. Nothing will be 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.

Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook).

Since updating to IOS5 my voice memos won't sync from iPhone4 to iTunes (macbook). They show in my iTunes but are grey so can't click on them. I need to put voice memos on a CD. Can someone help please?

First of all what PC type do you have, then what IOS are you running and finally what Itunes are you running.
Oh and if this helps, check it out how to upload voice memos from iphone to iMac.

Voice memos on ios7, it freezes after I try and save it

Hey!
I record all of my lectures on my iphone, but since I have updated to ios7 I am not able to do that. It records the lectures, but when I tap finished/save, it freezes up and the memo just is 00:00 even though I have been recording for 1 and a half hour. I think there is a bug in the new voice memo. Is there anyone else who has this problem or know how to solve it?
PS: any apps you can recommend for me to use.

Nothing seems to work correctly in the new iOS! I also have the same issue (among a number of other issues) and I have tested it time and time again, trying to figure out if it is caused by going into the camera app or the screen locking.
It is definitely a HUGE bug that apple NEEDS to fix, I have lost 5 lectures so far and am regretting ever upgrading to iOS7. If there is a way to revert to the old version of iOS, I would do it immediately!
I have not found any solutions to date, besides using my boyfriends old iPhone 4 which has not upgraded to iOS7. Bad move on apple's part, they shouldn't mess with apps that work great.

How do you save voice memos

How do you save voice memos, and use them as ringtones or text tones?

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.

I updated my iphone last week and since I did it will not sync my voice memos

I updated my iPhone 4s and since then I've been unable to sync my voice memos. Has anyone else had the same problem? Do you know any solutions? I've tried trimming it but it won't work

Did "everything" include this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275, which says:
Error 23, 28, 29, 40, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1611: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article and also attempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. If the MAC address is missing or the IMEI is the default value (00 499901 064000 0), this can also confirm a hardware issue.

Since I upgraded to os 7 my voice memos are not recording and syncing with Itunes.

In the app the recordings show 0 time and when I sync with Itunes there is no recording listed at all. Any thoughts?

I found the answer, at least it worked for me.
Here ya go:
1) open the Voice Memos app on your iPhone
2) on any memo: click the little blue arrow on the right
3) Click the next arrow in the top most box this will put you in the "Label" screen
4) From the "Label" screen: click the arrow next to "Custom"
5) In the Custom screen: give the memo a name (click Done)
6) Click the left arrow (top left) to go back to your memos.
You'll see that you memo as a name. I changed mine from "4:25 PM" to "Fishcakes".
7) Sync your iPhone and you are good to go.
NOTE: If for some reason this doesn't work, go back into the same "naming" list on your Iphone voice memos app, and try one of the standard labels instead of a custom one. With one that wouldn't sync, I changed it to "Memo" and then synced it again, and then it worked.
