Voice Memo Playlist disappeared

Hi guys, I wonder if anyone could help me out. I have tried syncing my voice memos held on my iPhone 3GS to iTunes on my iMac. For some reason for Voice Memo Playlist doesn't appear in the panel on the left hand side. I don't recall deleting it.
I've tried checking and unchecking the 'Include Voice Memos' option on the iPhone syncing tab, but I'm just not seeing the voice memos coming across.
Any thoughts?!
Cheers!

Voice memos sync automatically. The "include voice memos" checkbox controls whether or not they are synced back to your phone from iTunes. The voice memos playlist shows in the list with your other playlists. The voice memos will also be shown in your music library. Try to reset your iPhone (Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.) Then try to sync again.

Why my voice memos & notes disappear?

Suddenly to my horror today when I check my voice memos playlists most of my voice memos are gone from my iphone. I did not tweak around with my iphone or itunes. I backup my iphone regularly to my itunes PC and the voice memos are still in my itunes Library, but they are not in my iphone anymore. What's going on? And how do I transfer back the voice memos from my PC to my iphone?
My ipad is also experiencing notes disappearing by itself in the couple of months, which I've never had a problem after years of using it. But I have a Notes Folder in my email account which still have the lost notes. I can't figure out why. Please help

I just did, but it doesn't do anything. How do I transfer the voice memos manually from itunes to iphone?

Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

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.

Voice Memos Playlist Not Syncing

I've tried all sorts of things, but I can't seem to get my voice memos playlist to sync to itunes.
My workaround has been to make a new smart playlist, and have it add all files that contain "iPhone" but I would rather have it work as it used to.
Anyone else having this problem?

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.

Voice memo playlist not on iphone

my iPhone 6 plus has voice memos that i recorded on it. they are also in iTunes under the voice memo playlist.
however, there is no voice memo playlist on my iPhone. i selected it in the syncing section in iTunes, but nothing. the voice memos are in the playlist, but nothing i do moves the playlist to my iPhone. which means i can only listen to the voice memos from the voice memos app- and that means that if i want to listen to them i cannot leave the vice memo app. if the voice memo playlist worked, then i could then i could listen to them in the music app and do other things on my iPhone.
any help?
i have osx 10.10.2 and ios 8.1.2

i cannot add the voice memos to my iPad air either. when i click on iPad in iTunes and go to the voice memos bit at the bottom in 'on my device' they are greyed out and not syncing onto my iPad air. this used to work with my older iPhones and iPads.

Voice memos not showing up in voice memos playlist on itunes after sync

I have synced my iPod Touch many times to iTunes, and usually find the Voice Memos right in the Voice Memos playlist where they should be. I have recently had to replace my hard drive on my MacBook Pro, and reinstall using Time Machine, which means many apps have to be re-introduced to the system. But I don't see how this could affect a sync between Touch and itunes. I still have many many voice memos to upload, but do not see evidence of them anywhere. Any ideas?

I have tried every solution listed in this topic - unfortunately none of them worked I have a 46 minute voice memo of an interview which I needed to transfer to my computer. In the end, I found this software, PhoneView, which offers a free 7-day trial (no credit card needed or anything) and lets you transfer up to 10 voice memos. There doesn't seem to be a size limit because my 46min voice memo (20MB in size) transferred instantly. http://downloads.ecamm.com/PhoneView.zip
Not really a long term solution, but if, like me, you are desperate to get one big file to your Mac quickly, then this is perfect.

Voice Memos Disappear After iTunes Sync

Anyone else experiencing this? My wife had 6 lectures recorded today on the iPhone before we synced it tonight. All of them had been recorded today. When she returned home she showed me the files on the iPhone so I can verify they were there.
However, once the first sync tonight completed, the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes only contained 3 of the lectures. What is worse is the iPhone now only contains these 3 lectures as well. Searched through the iTunes library and these are the only Voice memos to be found.
I performed a Restore (3.0) and then restored from the backup that was performed during that last sync and only recovered a short test memo we recorded that day before.
I will be filing an iPhone Feedback report, but wanted to know if this has occurred with anyone else. Cheers!

Jenny-did you ever get an answer to this?

Voice memos not appearing in iphone playlists

Hello All,
I have about 100 voice memos recorded on my iPhone 3GS and which have successfully synched with my MacBook Pro, which i recently upgraded to Lion.
When I open up iTunes, there they all are listed in my Voice Memos playlist.
The voice memos are lists of french vocabulary and so I created themed playlists in iTunes on my mac and arranged the voice memos in the different playlists. When I open the playlists on my Mac's iTunes, they are all there.
I have synced them with my phone and the name of the playlists appears on my phone but when I open the playlists, they are empty.
I am manually selecting music and playlists to be synced.
i have checked the boxes for:
sync music
selected playlists, artists...
playlists (the specific playlists)
and in the genres topic, i have selected voice memos
i created a music playlist just now and that works fine, but not with memos.
HELP!!

Hi moodymiss,
Thanks so much for getting in touch with a suggestion.
Sadly, it doesn't work for me. I have no idea why not.
Frustratingly, when i tried it, some of the memo tracks appeared in the playist on my iPhone but not all. I have no idea why this is. All the settings etc in the "summary, info, options" tabs in iTunes are the same for the tracks which do appear and those which do not!
So annoying!
Any other ideas??

Voice Memos won't play, disappear when sync

I recently got the iPhone, and only today did I try using the Voice Memo. At first, it worked fine, just testing it, but then it stopped working right.
The iPhone records, or at least says it records, my voice memo, and when I go into the list of voice memos, it is there. But when I try to play it, nothing happens. The bar at the bottom, with the minutes:seconds, just says "0:00" at both ends.
And when I sync with iTunes, the voice memos disappear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2062895&tstart=0 . The third party ap iphone explorer is free and finds all the lost recordings, at least as mov files (actually an improvement from the m4a files Apple makes you to use). These showed up on my phone with zeros on the counter and would not play, when I e-mailed them, the attachments were 0 KB, when I tried to find them through itunes I could not. (Side note: I like itunes for music with my ipods, but for all the other aps on the iphone not user friendly for downloading, moving around). When I foolishly rebooted the phone, three of four formally existing voice memos just disappeared. When I used to the free iphone explorer ap I found them. Files of my boy talking for the first time that would have been lost forever. Another third party ap, phoneview, is helpful for downloading photos, but didn't help on the lost voice memos. So I'm using three software programs to manage my one phone... Oh, and don't think the phone recordings are safe either. I've been a Mac user since the beginning and despite the hype I think the iphone is the worst thing they've made to date. has wasted much of my "free" time trying to make work.

How to sync a voice memo inside an itunes playlist to iphone?

Hello there.
Here's a tricky question and could find the answer nowhere.
I synced my iPhone with iTunes.
My Voice memos are on iTunes.
I deleted them from my phone. They're still on iTunes.
I create different playlists on itunes with my voice memos in them.
I check the "include voice memos" case for syncing.
...and the voice memos do NOT appear in my playlists on the iPhone! They're back in the Dictaphone app, but not in Music.
How can I deal with that?
Thanks

OK. How do I take them OUT of the voice memos playlist. They are listed under Albums and the album name is VoiceMemos. I tried going into the get info section of one of them and tried to change it manually there to no avail. All I want to do is add ONE single voice memo (a recording of me singing a specific song to someone) to a playlist so that I can then burn that playlist to disc. This is REALLY annoying. Yet another reason that I should switch to Android. >:(

Voice memos app

I will try not to sound too confusing.
I have HUNDREDS of recordings in Voice Memo app of my iPhone 4 (IOS 6.1.3). (I am a writer and write alot this way, though have of late switched to other voice apps with more flexibility).
My goal is to get these voice memos off my iPhone, but be sure to leave them intact in iTunes with all of them named. ( I have been able to name memos since syncing capability retaining names was introduced).
They cannot be deleted as a group on iPhone, but have to be deleted manually, which does not seem to make them disappear from the voice memo playlist. Is there some safe, less labor intensive option for deleting the voice memos from my phone without risking losing them in iTunes?
I am getting a new iPhone 5s and don't want all these to be restored on the new phone.
THANKS!
A.

I've heard of people recording 2+ hours. It may be dependent on available memory. You could do a test and see for yourself.

IPhone 5S Voice Memos

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the voice memos.
I am using an iPhone 5S -> iOS7, back up from iPhone 4S (the voice memos were recorded in iPhone 4S).
Previously, my iPhone 4S had the same problem too.
The voice memos can't be found in the iPhone VoiceMemo app, but it can be seen from iTunes > On this iPhone > Voice Memos playlist.
The memos are greyed out in iTunes, but can be played.
Also, the checkbox in iTunes > Music > Include Voice Memos is unchecked.
Someone please teach me how to remove all the voice memos in my iPhone 5S and also from the iTunes.
Thanks.

and also why do my voice memos show up in my music - only in itunes not on iphone
