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How to I delete these old outdated files?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.

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.

HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone. Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased? I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find. Anyone know how?

I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.

All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

My voice memos don't sync from my phone to iTunes

I Am having trouble syncing my voice memos from my iPhone to my PC. I have flagged the "sync voice memos" in the "sync music" module and that always used to allow my memo recording to come into iTunes on my PC.
Interestingly, when my iPhone is connected to my PC, iTunes doesn't even recognise that there are voice memos on the iPhone.
I Have reinstalled iTunes, and I have the latest update on my phone.
Any suggestions would help as I would really like to bring some lectures I heard and recorded into itunes

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.
Kind regards,

Only iTunes purchases may copy over via File > Transfer Purchases - otherwise syncing is one way, from the computer to the device. To get the rest of your music/films etc onto the new computer you can copy the backup from your old computer onto the new one and then load them into iTunes

I need to delete all my pictures off of my iPhone because I have run out of storage. I have downloaded all pics to my mac but is my entire camera roll backed up on iCloud as well? I just want to make sure before I delete them from the phone.

I need to delete all my photos off my iphone because I have run out of local storage. I have synced with my Mac but also wanted online backup. Are all my photos from the camera roll uploaded to iCloud? I just want to make sure I can retrieve them after I erase from the phone and in case my Mac crashes.

Import photos through iPhoto. (You will prompt to delete from iPhone when import competes).
Backup your Mac. (At least the iPhoto Library)
Backup to iTunes.
Backup to iCloud. (Check in Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Manage Storage>your device name>Camera Roll ON).

HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

going from 4s to 6 can I save my favorite voice mails and voice memos to put on my new phone via pc or cloud

If you are planning to set up your iPhone 6 by restoring the iCloud backup from the iPhone 4s, your Visual Voice Mails and Voice Memos will be restored.

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?

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.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

My iPhone has my old email set up throught iCloud. How do I reset my new username with the device without deleting everything. And if I have to delete my old account, will everything (contacts, pictures, games, apps, etc.) be erased from my phone.

Your old ID connects to an icloud account containing all your data (email, contacts, etc.) If you then use a different ID, you will connect to a different account, which results in losing all your "apple" data, like emails, contacts, calendars, etc.
However, Apple IDs are also used to connect to an itunes store account, with is different. You can keep using the old itunes store ID to keep all your purchases (but if you change to a different ID, you will lose all purchased items) and use the new ID for icloud (but losing emails, contacts, etc. from the old account).

That usually means that you previously synced your iPhone to a different computer. An iPhone can only sync to one computer. If you try to sync to a different one the iTunes content on the phone will be replaced by the contents of the new computer.

HT1296 I'm having difficulty syncing my iCal between my home computer and iPhone. New entries from my home are not syncing with the phone and vice-versa. I didn't have any problems with this before until the latest phone update. Any suggestions?

It could be that the existing wire in your appartment is not clean enough to provision DSL only. When combined with the phone possibly it has a higher line voltage and worked before. Now that the line is to be provisioned without phone service it may be giving them trouble that did not show before they came out and ran the new line test. So a new jack dedecated for your DSL line may require a new wire be run to your appartment. Also the account for internet only used to require direct billing to a credit card or something else. This was a number of years ago. Most accounts are linked to a phone number, and without a voice number it adds to the confusion.
If you are getting the voice and everything turned on as before, then I am at a loss for words.
