VOICE MEMOS ARE GONE

hello, i have iphone 5s with software virsion 7.0.6
i plugged the iphone into itunes latest virsion (11.1.5) on my laptop to get to voice memos and transferre them to my desktop, i syncronized the iphone many times and i could see the voice memos and play them on itunes, but i couldnt copy them or export them. in the last syncronization i plugged off the iphone in the middle of sync proccess as a result i can see my voice memos on the iphone now but it doesnt play, the voice memos list is all in gray and doesnt play at all!
notice that with another iphone 5s and different computer i could see the voice memos, play them AND COPY THEM to the desktop without syncronization!
now, the question is if i plugged in the iphone to the itunes again, will the voice memos be back to the iphone?
if you have any suggestions please provide me with.

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.

HT4859 When I tried to restore my new iPhone all I got was my contacts, all of my images and voice memos are gone. I was backing up via wi-fi at home to the iCloud. How can I retrieve the images and voice memos?

The voice memos, in particular, are important as they contain several conversations I had with my, now decieced, grandmother. I was under the mistaken impression that everything was being backed up nightly when I was connected to wi-fi at home and plugged in to a charger.

You could try restoring the backup again. Sometimes people have more success the second time.

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!

Update to IOS 6 and Voice Memos are now gone.

My daughter has an old iPhone 3GS without a phone plan that she uses as an iPod. Tonight, she updated it to IOS 6 without telling me, which means it wasn't backed up prior to the update. Now, all her Voice Memos are gone, and she hasn't synced it with iTunes since last summer - assuming that the Voice Memos were going to iCloud.
A quick Google search tells me that Voice Memos aren't backed up to iCloud. Is it possible that these Voice Memos exist somewhere on the phone that we can recover?
If not, she has learned a hard lesson about doing major updates like this. I haven't updated my phone yet because I want to be sure everything is backed up first.
Thanks,
Marie

I am having the same issue. Updated to ios6 via the phone (iphone 4) and now all of my voice memos are missing. I have the majority backed up somewhat recently to itunes, but I'm baffled as to why all of them would go away on the phone after the update?

VOICE MEMOS R GONE HELPPP

Hi, i recently restarted my ipod by mistake and everything got deleted however i had alreaedy saved all the pics before this. problem is that all my voice memos r gone and i never made a backup file earlier. what do i do???????????i need 2 recover themm?

If they are not in a backup of the iPod then they are gone.

Voice memos are never erased from the phone?

I use voice memos frequently, and I think I understand the basics of managing them with iTunes. What I've noticed is that the Voice Memos list that appears in iTunes, under Devices / ~ iPhone includes hundreds of memos that go back two years or more. These memos have been deleted in iTunes, and some of them have been deleted on the phone, in the Voice Memos app itself. After syncing they do not appear in the Mac, but they're still in the phone! They persist in the Voice Memos list... They're in grey (because they're in the phone) so I can't delete them in iTunes. But I can play them - they exist within the phone. On the phone itself I can't find them, view them or play them.
How to I delete these old outdated files?

As posted elsewhere, one solution to this bug is iFunBox, a free app that allows access to the iPhone's file structure. The voice memos are there to be copied (if you want to back 'em up elsewhere) and deleted. A couple of clicks and the job's done. Freed up memory on my phone and got rid of years' worth of useless recordings.

Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my computer, but do not sync to my IPOD Touch so that I can listen on another device (stereo, dock station, etc.) When I click on the one that transfered over, a grey screen shows up "No Music" Help1

Voice Memos are listed on the Playlist on my Ipod, but a grey screen comes up "NO Music". How can I listen on a device? Like, my car or my dock station/ radio.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Why is the mic not working working on speaker mode, even though siri and voice memos are working?

I bought my iphone 4s from canada about less than a month ago. It worked perfectly fine, until i recently discovered that the mic on speaker mode stopped working. That means, when i speak to someone on speaker during a call, they are unable to hear me.However Siri and voice memos are working fine. I could initially face-time but now i cant. I have also tried restoring my iphone a few times.
As i am based out of india, I contacted apple in India, they refused to touch the phone as it was purchased in Canada and the warranty is apparently applicable only in the country of purchase. I can in no way go back to canada to get the phone replaced. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can resolve this? Shouldnt apple be able to get this sorted since its a brand new phone under warranty?

i like to record concerts i go to a listen to them and the voice memos are how i record them

If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.

PLEASE HELP ............ all memos are GONE!

These memos are my life and I always have the palm desktop app open. I rebooted last night because of an update for another program and now all the memos are GONE!
How do I get them back? When I upgrade to the new version of hot sync a couple of months ago all of it synced except for about 20% of the memos. Now all have disappeared!
What happened?
Post relates to: Palm TX

I'm sorry .......... I'm just so frantic over losing all the memos.
I have a Tx.
OS: XP Home Media Edition
Palm desktop 6.2.2
OK, this is how inexperienced I am with my Palm Tx though I've had it for years now ....... sorry.
The only thing I've changed is to update the Palm Desktop when I got a pop-up telling me to. Everything was fine before that. I updated the desktop and tried to sync. Everything synced except for about 15% of the memos. I tried to resync several times all with the same outcome. The issue was never resolve because the desktop was intact ...... the files were missing on the Tx. I stopped syncing since the desktop appeared stable and I'm in the process of transitioning everything over to my Droid Charge. Nothing had been done.
Last sync was back in March.
The PC was rebooted because of an date to another program. I opened the Palm Desktop and all my memos were gone!
I'm desparate .......... to the extreme. Would a system restore bring back the files?
I just downloaded the NVBackup and will attempt to get that going.

My all voice memos are deleted,how to retrieve them

my all voice memos are deleted after syncing it with itunes...how to retrieve them ??

Thanks Bro. I have backup. and I did the same thing twice but only 26 contacts appear on the device. Now again yesterday after your suggestion again I restored the device but the result was same. Then I thought a new thing. I restored the device one more time but after restoring I didn't configure the icloud account. Surprisingly all my old contacts are there in the device but those 26 contacts are not there. Now I will tell you how this must have happened? I had 3gs earlier. that was stolen 3 months ago. I put the device in lost mode. I purchased new iphone4. I restored with itune. All my data came back. After that I saved these 26 new contacts to my device which also saved in icloud but when I tried to backup on my pc it was not happening. the messege coming device disconnected. 2 days back my stolen device came online. Lost mode was activated by icloud. But what I think in between that time the other fellow must have deleted the phone contacts. And as per icloud also deleted the same. Only the 26 contacts which I saved in these 3 months remained in icloud. Now bro can u help me out? What I should do? I have 26 contacts in icloud and < 500 in my device. I don't understand when all other Co's mobile you can import contacts from any backup file iphone can not. This is the DRAWBACK OF IPHONE.

My Voice Memos are not Syncing to iTunes

I sync my phone with my PC but my voice memos are no longer syncing and showing up on my computer. I've tried resetting settings, etc. nothing seems to fix it.
Any suggestions?

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 memos are not syncing

I've used my iPhone 4 to sync voice memos to iTunes previously and it has worked seamlessly. My new recordings on a 5s are not syncing across. I have checked the sync voice memos box. Even within the 'on this phone' tab the recording aren't visible...just the old ones show up.
If anyone help it would be appreciated...I have tried the other methods on the forum but they dont help such as trimming files.

I updated to iOS 7 beta 1, and Voice Memos is gone - how to get it back?!

It is still appearing on the Settings> General > Usage page as 'com.apple.VoiceMemos' with no icon and 36.4MB used - but I need to access the voice memos I have saved. They were not synced to iTunes previously. Help?!

iOS7 was only released for developers as a BETA it is not ready for Pubic usage and can have several issues yet to be ironed out. As such there is nothng we can do to help.
If you are a developer, you should have backuped up the Phone prior to installing Beta software. Though why you are installing beta software on a phone that's in current use is beyond me. If you are not, then there's no reason you should be nor be able to install the Beta software at this time.

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?
