Voice memos aren't seen by computer, can't sync

I am trying to sync voice memos from my iphone (ios8) to itunes (12.something) on my mac.
The voice memos are on the phone.
iTunes doesn't show them.
Thus, 2 questions about syncing - 1 (obviously) - how can I get itunes to recognize that they're there.
And 2 - how do I sync them MANUALLY? I see lots of suggestions to sync music clicking voice memos but I can't do that when I want to deal with my data manually. If I turn off manually then I get a scary message something like "we're going to completely empty out your phone, do you really want to do this?".
Unfortunately, I'm trying to keep things simple and under my control, which Apple no longer seems to allow with each upgrade....
Thanks!!

I have looked everywhere. Everyone is having this problem. And Apple has not taken the time to explain what is going on with Voice Memos, to help us. I usually don't complain but I have been trying for weeks to figure out how to access my Voice Memos on my Mac, which has caused me to lose much valuable time, and I feel I am at least somewhat intelligent and can usually figure any problem out, with enough time and investigation. Apple should help its users understand what to do with larger files, and WARN us not to record long, important files when they freeze up as they seem to often do. Also to explain what is going on when the files WILL NOT sync to iTunes- or rather, can't be SEEN in iTunes, and if they don't want us to see them, or organize them, to explain WHY. If Apple wants the Voice Memo app to ONLY be used for very short recordings that can be e-mailed or messaged out, they should make this clearer by setting a LIMIT on the actual recording time, having it stop automatically, etc. And the Memos "seem" to be backed up on either iTunes or iCloud because I lost my iPhone, purchased a new one and all my former Voice Memos were synced back onto the new phone, but I still can't see them in iTunes. I am so frustrated with Apple, and, not that it matters, but I have been a dedicated Apple user (including a member of Mobile Me AND .Mac), all the way back to OS 6 and I still have the "floppies" to prove it.

Hi - we need more info in order to answer your question:
1. What type and model modem do you have?
2. Do you have a Windows 7 laptop with AU version 5.6.1?
3. How far have you gotten in the setup and is the Extreme still in factory mode?

TS2830 it isn't allowing me to deselect the voice memo option, therefore i am still unable to sync my music

Reset both devices. That is always the first step.
Now, are you running windows or Mac?

I have tried everything and now I dont have one song in my Iphone since it doesnt want to sync music because I get this error...
by the way I have tried this
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2830
and I have tried restoring the iphone...

I translated..
El problema -> El itunes me dijo que habían como 12 canciones que tenían mejor calidad. yo decidí intercambiar las canciones que tienen mejor fidelidad en itunes.
Itunes me pregunto si quería que ponga las canciones que iva a remplazar en “desk top” a lo cual yo respondí que si. El itunes hizo algo.. no puso las canciones viejas en el desk top pero cuando fui a sincronizar recibí el error 13019.
La solución para los usuarios de Windows.. busca todas las canciones *.m4a que se han modificado en tu compu durante el día del incidente.. toma nota de los nombres de las canciones.
En itunes busca estas canciones y deselecciona las canciones.. (con suerte veras que las canciones están seleccionadas dos veces.. deselecciona todas las canciones que fueron modificadas en ese día. Al final asegurase que tienes seleccionado la opción de solo sincronizar las canciones que están seleccionadas en tu lista.) y trata de sincronizar con itunes..

Hi! I am using an Iphone 3GS. How can I transfer my voice memos and photos to my computer? And where can I view the applications on my phone on itunes

Hi! Due to fear that I'll lose information upon software backup despite backups, I did not update the latest software. I have not backed up my phone for a long time. I'm trying to back up my phone to my computer now but itunes does not appear automatically anymore despite me not using the icloud. I clicked onto itune on my desktop but was unable to find the page that normally shows what's on your phone and whether you need to back up. I wanted to transfer some photos and voice memos but I couldn't find them anywhere. There's no phone icon appearing on my computer which normally will appear when I plug in anything on the computer which normally will show something was inserted etc. The phone is able to charge when the cable is plugged in though. Please advise how can I do my backup and how can I find and transfer my photos and voice memos to my desktop. Appreciate all the help I can get as I'm not technology savvy...

If your iPhone is not recognized by iTunes when connected - not available under Devices in the iTunes source list, check this link.

For voice memos, I have include voice memos when syncing selected under the Music tab for my iPhone sync preferences with iTunes which transfers voice memos from my iPhone to my iTunes library when syncing.

Voice Memos (new recordings) - transfer to computer

I have synced voice memos recorded in the past to computer.
Recently, I have made some NEW RECORDINGS but do not know how to copy them to the same computer.
In iTunes, under "On This iPhone", the NEW RECORDINGS are not shown.
Waht is the problem if the below is shown:
"The iPhone is synced with another iTunes library.
Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?"
Also, how to solve the problem "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is an Older USB device and might not work with USB 3.0".
I have already installed the latest update and yet still encounter the above problem.
Can someone please advise! Thanks!!!

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

How do you transfer voice memos from your phone to computer

Is it possible to transfer a voice memo to my computer and then convert that to text that can be printed?
Here is my problem. I study harbor seals and have always taken hand written notes that then must be typed into the computer when I get home from an observation. Is there any way I can dictate what I see to a voice memo and then have that translated to text. If there is which would do it best an iphone or ipad (I have neither, just a tracphone for an emergency).
Perhaps this is asking too much from the technology available but it would be a great help if I could do this.
Thanks for any help you can give!

How to sync old voice memos from ipod Touch to computer

Due to a computer crash I lost all the voice memos on the computer. So, I wanted to sync the voice memos still on my ipod touch to the computer again. Unfortunately, sync music, include voice memos, doesn't do the trick. How can this be done?

Since the original computer crashed did you do the following:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library and your new (or rebuild computer) is a new computer/iTunes library.

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3. How do I get the voice memos from my phone? I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it. My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do.
Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3.
How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer? All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos. Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes?

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

I sent a voice memo to another iPhone but they can't open it. What am I doing wrong?

I tried sending a voice memo to a friend's facebook email, but she couldn't open it. I tried converting it into an mp3 format on the desktop, but it still won't read on her phone or on mine when I try to open the attachment I sent. How do I get a voice memo file into a format that I can send to an email or post on facebook?

If they are like me and have no interest in the latest version they will not be able to open the attachment. Pages 09 will not open the later version.
If they don't have Pages and are using some other word processor they also can't open the attachment.
Safe way to send attachments, choose PDF from the mail options in the share menu.

Deleted voice memos using Syncios. Now Voice Memos won't open and iPhone won't sync.

I deleted all voice memos from the iPhone using Syncios, and now I'm having the following issues:
1) Voice Memos app is broken on iPhone. It opens and then immediately closes.
2) Can't sync via iTunes! Get the following error message:
The iPhone "[iPhone Name]" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start.
3) Syncios is not recognizing the device even when connected. Error message:
Device disconnected, please reconnect the device.
It looks like deleting the voice memos using Syncios did something else to the phone to break it.
Please help ASAP.

Same problem here. I contacted Syncios and they opened a bug report, but I it seems that they don't have any workaround for the moment :-/
In my case, I also discovered that my iCloud backup was corrupted when restoring my iPhone 6 in order to "fix" all these problems (had to wipe my phone to use it again...)... So it's possible that this Syncios bug also damages iCloud/iTunes backups, which would be very embarassing for them.

Lost songs on my computer can I sync my iphone

I Recently upgraded my iMac and lost all of my iTunes songs in the process. Can I recover all of my songs by syncing my iPhone with my new computer or will my iPhone songs get erased?

In iTunes go to the Store menu, Check for available downloads. If it doesn't find any and your iTunes is authorized to the account that the songs were purchased with you can just download them again without paying again.

If i synced my iphone with another computer, can i sync it with my computer and not delete anything?

No. You cannot.

Got a new computer- Can I sync new iTunes with my iPod?

We recently had to purchase a new computer, and unfortunately I was not able to transfer my iTunes data from the old computer to the new one. I just downloaded iTunes onto my new computer, though of course it does not have any of the old data. My iPod has everything I need on it. We were able to transfer all our MP3's to our Music folder, so the files that are uploaded to my iPod are on the new computer. Is there any way I can transfer the information from my iPod to the iTunes?

are you using an iPod Touch or a regular iPod (e.g. Classic) ?
if the latter, maybe this KB article helps.

How can I get back full length of shortened voice memo?

Hi!
I had an 1,5 hour long interview on an iPhone 4 and tried to get it into the computer somehow. Couldn't sync the phone to itunes, the iPhone didn't even show up at first when I plugged it in. So I tried to do the "shorten and email"-thing, allthough I happened to do it the wrong way. Instead of choosing share and make the app email parts of it, I chose to shorten it. Problem is, everything except for the first 5 minutes is gone. All of this happened while the phone was connected to the computer, allthogh I couldn't find any voice memos on itunes since I believe it never synced.
Anyone who knows if I can get the full lengt of the voice memo back? Is it saved somewhere as a file or something on the iPhone? I'm new with iPhone so don't know much.
Please help, it's an important intervview.

I also had my ringtones...bought in Itunes...wiped out. So I went ahead and bought a new one. I synced it with the cable, and it is in the playlist as a ringtone. But when I go to edit the contact, the ringtone doesn't show up in the list. However, there is a Buy a Ringtone category at the top of the list.
On the upgrade, I lost a number of paid APPS. I don't know if its a scheme by Apple to make more money on a free upgrade or they just screwed up everyone with this.
