Voice memos app crashing after updating to iOS 8

After upgrading to iOS 8 today, when I launch the Voice Memos app, it attempts to re-index the memos and then in the middle of the process, it crashes. When I re-launch the app, it simply says "No Recordings".
I was really distressed, because I had some adorable recordings of my 3 year old that I didn't think I had backed up yet. I restarted the phone and it tried to index again and crashed.
If you run across this issue, don't panic - they are still on your file system on your phone. Apple will hopefully fix the bug soon. In the meanwhile, to retrieve them, you can use a program that can read your iphone's file system. I used a tool that turned up after I did a search "download iphone file system reader ifun".
After connecting the phone, I went to the leftmost tab and right-clicked "Voice Memos". There is an option there to copy the files to the computer. After they all copy, try dragging the files into iTunes and you should hear all the memos again.
Good luck!

Yes. Me as well. Did a factory reset on my iPad 3 (because iOS 8 killed speed and was crashing) Now I need to do some reinstalls. When I hit the cloud download icon it spins for a second then goes back to the reinstall cloud icon. Nothing!!

  • IPhone 3GS, photo app crashes after update to iOS 4.0.1

    After upgrading my 3GS to iOS 4.0.1, I can no longer use Apple's "photos" app. I start the app, it shows a blank page with pajama lines on it and then closes the app after maybe 20 seconds or so. It's worth mentioning that I have a lot of photos, ~15,000 of them, and most of them are both geocoded and with tagged faces. Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

    Try cutting down the number of photos you have stored on your phone (make sure they are backed up first). I say dwindle it down to a hundred. Just to see if it is because of too many pics for the app to go over, especially with the added data of face tag and geo location. You can always put them back on your phone if you still run into the same issue with far less pics. You also may want to make sure the app has been updated to be compatible with iOS4. Which app are you using by the way?

  • Ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3.

    ipad constantly crashing after updating to iOS 8.1.3. I can't restore it to factory settings. I can't even turn it off. It just keeps crashing and trying to reboot etc.  Sometimes I see the black screen with the white apple and sometimes the screen is white.  I saw it say "Hello" once, but then it crashed again.  While rebooting, it does sync up with itunes briefly and is recognized.  When I try to restore, it says I need to turn off "find my iphone" but I can't access any settings within the ipad to do that.  Also, it tells me I need to enter my passcode to continue, but I can't do that either since the ipad is constantly in crash mode.

  • My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    My iphone 5c crashed after updating to IOS 8.02 and now i don't have anything from the last 3 months. What do I do?

    Don't worry about that. iPhone stuck in recovery mode always happens when you update the iOS on your iPhone. There are two ways to solve it.
    First is is to put your iPhone in DFU mode.
    Step 1. Turn off iPhone
    Step 2. Hold down the Power and Home button.
    Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the Home button down.
    Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that it’s in restore mode.
    If DFU mode can't solve the problem, I'm afraid the only solution is to try some 3rd party software, like iPhone data recovery or something like that. You may simply try the tutorial here: How to Fix iPhone that is Stuck in Recovery Mode.

    iPad 2 can't open App Store after updated to iOS 7, what should I do now? I've been updates to iOS 7.0.4 but it still not working!

    Same as you would do with any battery issue before you updated:  restore the phone as NEW, not using backup at all.

    Use iTune to update your apps.
    Check for Updates (bottom right) in iTune. When download is completed, sync to iPad.

  • Apps crashing after update to 4.3.3

    After updating to iOS 4.3.3 all apps (both payware and freeware) crash apon opening. Not even facebook seems to work
    Any ideas, of what happened and maybe how to solve the problem?

    Thanks Paul for your response.
    This situation may be multi-factorial.  My experience keeps reverting back to Dell's issue with their introduction of the XPS Tower - and the USB ports. 
    I examined very carefully the USB tethering devices with a magnifying glass earlier today.  This revealed a possible change in the "teeth" configuration from the 2010 products and the 2011 products. 
    Using this premise - I have had yet to have "one iphone4 tethered MacBook crash" today caused by as a result of a unknown UUID.
    Simplistic - maybe - hey what ever works.  The curious thing is that I am not using any 3rd party apps - as I want to reduce the variables to be considered.
    Someday I will get my iTunes back.  I am really concerned about interfacing my Airport Time Capsule, which I purchased in 2010 also.
    Thanks again for your kind advice.  I am a novice - but this time I am determined to do it right.
    Respectfully submitted,
    MJ Samanka

  • IPod keeps crashing after updated with IOS 4.2 Beta

    The iPod keeps crashing going back to the main screen with my iPad after updated with IOS 4.2 beta 2. Any solution? Anyone has the same issue?

    You will probably get several comments from some of the developers that hang out here about moving the question to the developer's forum. Not many of those using the Betas will comment on them on here due to non-disclosure agreement with Apple.

  • IPhone 4 apps disappear after updating to iOS 5

    Two people, one of them my sister, has reported that after updating to iOS 5 some of her apps have disappeared from the phone. I had not such thing other than iOS 5 loading all of the ones in my iTunes. Just wondering if this is happening to others too.

    I too spoke to Apple in their store. They also told me it was a unique problem. They said that if it was encrypted and I didn't have the password I would have to start again "/ I have been able to get my contacts, music and apps back but the messages and pictures/videos appear to have gone forever. The advisor told me that the pictures shouldn't even be encrypted and should appear in 'iPod Photo Cache' but that folder hasn't been updated since March! I'm just relieved to have gotten my phone out of configuration mode lol!
    Thanks for the update! :)

  • Third-Party Apps Crashing After Update

    After getting the new update for my 8GB iPod Touch, I discovered my third-party apps no longer worked--they would briefly seem to boot up before crashing to the desktop. I fixed this problem by restoring my iPod, reinstalling everything, resyncing music (which took several hours). But then when I connected my iPod Touch to charge it, it said it wasn't finished restoring it or something. I said to finish; it soon says the restoration failed with a maddeningly vague error message (-34), some of my third-party apps crash again, and all my music is gone. What is going on, and is Apple taking steps to fix this problem with the new OS? Is there any way to revert to OS3?

    Here is what I did & my phone now works fine:
    Ok.  I went back to the apple store.  They reloaded the IOS6 software from a computer they knew had a good version of the software and treated the phone as if it was a new phone.  We did not back it up from my pervious backups.  I then reloaded all the apps from the app store and not my computer.  My phone is working great now.  It appears I had a corrupted copy of the IOS 6 or a corrupted app that was causing the problem and it syncing just fine without the problem returning.

  • Why does my Ipod touch Music/Video apps crash after update to OS4

    Updated Ipod touch (64GB) yesterday to OS4. Today I cant run the Music or the Video apps. They will LOAD, but after 3 seconds, the crash. Any ideas?
    Ive tried to do the reboot thing (DFU??) that I saw in another post but same issue.
    Tried a search several times but have not seen any posts so far with this particular issue.

    I'm having the same issue as well, I'm currently at work so as of right now I can't try to restore mine, but the strange thing with mine is that I updated mine the day the iOS 4.0 came out and had no problems until last night. Now the music and video sections keep crashing after just a few seconds. Also all my Podcast are gone, the only things missing and I even re-downloaded them last night and they're still gone.

  • IPod Touch 4G, "Video" program crashes after Update to iOS 4.2

    After updating iPod Touch 4G to iOS4.2 the program "videos" just crashes.
    Details: I can sync the iPod touch with the computer and the videos reappear on first launch of "videos". All videos play o.k. Second launch of "videos" gives me a white screen for several seconds, then "videos" crashes. Every time I launch it, it keeps crashing.
    There are 2 conditions that make them reappear and "videos" runs normally (but only once!):
    Method 1: Sync with my MacBook
    Method 2: I fully close the program "Videos", then change language on the iPod touch to english (any other language seems to work, too. It's the change that seems to be important). Launching "videos" after that successfully shows all my videos. Second launch and the crash is back. Every time. Until I change the language again.
    I tried full restore, and I tried Resetting the iPod, both with no success.
    BTW: The Video Files are o.k., I can launch them using playlists and they work just fine.
    This is really strange. Can anyone help?
    Or, can anyone help how to revert back to iOS 4.1?

    Check out the thread I have posted below. I've been having the same problem and have been posting on this thread.
    Very annoying problem and it hasn't been solved in the new iOS 4.3 either!!
    After two genius appointments, no solution has been offered from Apple, only a new device, which unfortunately came with iOS 4.2 installed, so I couldn't even leave it on the old iOS 3 and not update it. Although having said that, on this device the Video app was working, but only every other time. Weird I know! But now it won't work at all after the newest update... back to square one.
    There are work arounds though, as mentioned in the above posts, if you change the music videos into films then they work perfectly.
    Strange how it's only Music Vids that seem to cause this problem!?
