Voice memo icon

The voice memo icon on my nano seems to disappear and reappear at will. It's weird, I'm not too worried about it cuz I seldom use voice memo. I think it might be a glitch, I've restored and it still happens.
This happening to anyone else?

Not entirely true. If you once made a recording and saved it and then plugin headphone without a mic, the voice memo app still shows up, so that you can listen to your recordings.

Voice memos icon gone

How do I get it back? I know I can restore, but since I've never done that before, I am not sure what gets "lost" during that process so I haven't done it.

Is the icon not on another page?

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 5: Voice Memos not working in iOS 6.1.4

I updated my iPhone 5 and suddenly my voice memos app doesn't work. When I click on it, it loads the microphone icon then closes and goes back to the main screen. Can anyone help on this issue?

For iphon 5 after the last update, to listen to your recored voice memos, you have to tab the speaker symbol on the upper right corner of the file page. You can also use the bluetooth or headphone to listen to your recordings.

Manually Backup to PC - incl. Voice Memos?

After reinstall OS and new iTunes - my iPhone data wouldn't transfer to iTunes. I did manual back up (to PC) and I'm about to restore my iPhone.
What's very important for me is NOT TO LOSE VOICE MEMOS that are on my iPhone. Are Memos included in manual PC backup?
Or: A) Is there a way to get voice memos (copy, save to my PC) without using iTunes
B) Find in my PC from backup those voice memos? (Before I take the chance - restore my iPhone and find out if voice memos made it...?)
I have iPhone 5S(or C), using OS Win 7 64x.
Thank you

Not sure about that, I don't use voice memos so I'm not familiar if they can be transferred to your computer via iTunes sync. But from the Voice Memos app itself you can send them out via email and they'll be an .m4a attachment that you can save. Just tap the send icon (rectangle with arrow pointing up).
But you cannot extract your voice memos out of your iOS backup if that's what you're thinking.

How do you transfer voice memos on iphone 3G to iTunes?

I have voice memos on my iphone 3G that are very important. I want to sync them to iTunes. Problem is, when I go to the tab that says "music" and try to push "include voice memos" it is greyed out. This is because I manually manage the music in my iTunes. When I push the "sync music" icon, it has a message saying that "all existing content from iphone will be removed and replaced with songs in iTunes." Is there a way to get my voice memos onto iTunes without having to go to the extreme of removing the content from my phone? I'm afraid that if I push the "sync music" button, it will erase all of my voice memos from my phone. Any help or ideas??

Well, while I cannot fully help as I don't mess with voice memos nor use manually manage, perhaps you can at least use the Share button in Voice memos to email them to yourself just as a precaution before trying anything.

How do I stop voice memos from crashing on Iphine 5 version 6.1.4

Hi,
When I start Voice Memos, the screen showing the microphone flashes on and immediately disappears. The icon is still in the active bar (double click on Home button)
This issue has been presented in a few posts, but with no response that is successful.
I tried the reboot process (Home button and Sleep Button) but issue was not resolved.
Has anyone else had this issue, and have you found a solution, or do I have to simply write off a versatile app for my iPhone as no longer supported by the IOS?

try a reset all settings ...good luck

Did I find another "Voice Memos" bug?

After updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.0.1, I'm no longer able to attach a photo before sharing the VM via email/message. The camera icon appears like it used to; "Take Photo or Video"/"Choose Existing"/ selections are there but selecting either of them does not perform the indicated function. Additionally, the "Trim Voice Memo" feature seems to have stopped working. Along with the syncing issues, I'm wondering if iOS 5 just plain forgot about little 'ole Voice Memos. Has anyone else had these issues or am I a lonely traveler within the Appleverse? If I have fellow travelers, any help would be appreciated.

I can't replicate your problem on mine. After a reset it is exactly where I had set it. Not sure what the problem here could be. I would recommend a couple things:
Restore your phone and see if that still occurs.
If you restore and it still occurs, you might want to have an Apple person take a look at it at one of the stores, or via a phone call to AppleCare...
If we get a lot of posts on here that it is happening to a lot of people, then certainly a report to the link above is in order -- and just get in the habit of turning your volume back on after a reset.

Voice memo quits after opening

Voice memo quits right after I open it. The icon vanishes.
I tried restoring and it worked once. Now it does the same thing again.

did you get a solution? mine does the same. it's been ages since i can't use it.
Thanks

Low volume when playing back voice memos.

When I play back a voice memo on my 5S, the volume is very low. Voice texts from other people are nice and loud, ringtones and music are audible from several feet away, people have no problem hearing me, nor I them, when I use my speaker phone, so I don't think this is a problem with the speaker nor with the microphone. Any suggestions other than 3rd party apps, speakers or headphones? I would like to think that the phone doesn't need any external help with one of its built-in apps.

I found the solution in another thread. There is a little speaker icon on the upper right of the voice memo screen that is white normally, but if you tap it, it turns blue (on my iPhone) and the volume is essentially at the same level as other sounds like music, ring tones, etc.

Voice memos in itunes

My voice memos in itunes are grayed out and won't let me play them. There is also a syn icon that appears next to the number of the memo. I tried syncing my phone but it doesn't do anything and the voice memos were deleted from my phone as well after I synced the first time. I really need to fix this ASAP! Please help!!

No. After waiting over two hours on the phone with apple support, they told me the voice memos were somehow currupt and there's no way to get them back.

'Voice Memo' changed for the worst after 8.1...

Apple has changed how the 'Voice Memo' app works. It no longer switches automatically to speaker volume when played. You must now enable it manually by clicking the little speaker icon (will turn blue) towards the upper right corner.
Pre iOS 8.1 (or earlier versions) installation:
1. Voice Memo would sound through speakerphone once play is engaged
2. When a headphone is plugged in; sound comes through headphone, when removed; sound comes back to speakerphone.
Post iOS 8.1 installation:
1. When played with no headphones, sound now comes through the earpiece enabling you to listen like while listening to a call.
2. No sound through speakers - will not come on unless you press the little speaker icon (turned blue) towards the upper right corner. Will override earpiece volume.
3. When headphone is plugged in, it will override both speaker/earpiece depending on what mode it was on
4. Unplugging headphone will not bring sound back to speakers but only to earpiece.
Too much work.

I did a hard reset by holding the two buttons down. Mine worked the same way as you described. How about unplugging the headphone? It will not default back to the last state, ie; speakerphone>headphone>unplug headphone>earpiece. As stated in this logical order, it will not go back to speakerphone but to earpiece.
My guess is that they've added the 'earpiece' feature therefore an icon is needed. But instead of for controlling the speakerphone, the icon should be for the earpiece, or AT LEAST automatically defaults back to speakerphone when the jack is free.
Honestly, I'd rather prefer it like before instead of having more steps to tinker with.

Voice memo not working

Recently the Voice Memo function on my iPhone is not working. When I click on it I get the 'microphone' icon, but when I switch on it collapsed back to main screen. The guy at Genius Bar suggested that I should 'restore iphone' my iPhone settings.
When I got to do this I get a message saying "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased." This sounds v scary, not sure of consequences and not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello John,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I concur with my colleague at the Apple Store, we may need to restore your device. Furthermore, we have great utilities in place to avoid data loss while restoring: backing up with iTunes and/or iCloud. I have included information about how to do so, along with a step-by-step guide on restoring your iPhone:

Voice memos do not delete from iPhone...

How do I delete the voice memos that are stored on my iPhone 4, and are no longer on my MacBook Pro?
My voice memos folder on my MacBook Pro was over 4 Gb, so I copied its contents to an external hard drive. I left the folder and deleted the voice memos from it. I then synchronized with my iPhone 4, with the hopes that those voice memos would delete from the phone. Unfortunately, they did not. iTunes 11 only shows 4 voice memos, and the iPhone has all of them.
If I control + click on any of the voice memos on my iPhone while looking at them in iTunes, those memos will still play. iTunes 11 does not show an option to delete these voice memos via option + click.
I am running Mac OS 10.9.1, and IOS 7. Thank you for your advice.

Nope, won't do it. If I gently swipe right to left, it jumps to other songs randomly. It has stopped playing the song as it did before I rebooted the phone.
I'm familiar with the swipe process, as I can do it successfully with texts, reminders, and so forth.
Now as I look through my artists, I see perhaps 10% of them are dupes, and none will delete. And in all cases one of the songs will have an I-Cloud icon, while the other does not.
Please explain to me why any of my 300 songs in I-Phone (out of 1900 in I-Tunes) should be coming down from the Cloud? All of them were uploaded from I-Tunes; none were purchased from the I-Phone.
Thanks, Jim!

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
