Voice Memos - does not play or sync to iTunes

Is there a file size limit with Voice Memos? I recorded a 35 minute file which appears on the iPhone. However it will not play - and does not appear in iTunes when I sync. Have the latest iPhone software and latest version of Leopard.

  • 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?

    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 does not work on 3g

    The voice memo does not work. If I scream in to the mic it finally shows movement on the readout. But, when you play it back all you get is static noise where I screamed. Other wise, any normal voice speck is totally silent.
    Actually it works with the iPhone head phones but not the mic in the phone it's self.

    Yes, the low level while recording doesn't result in a low or weak "memo". Sounds fine and mails to my email as well . . . But !
    I had a phone-message waiting two months, a little song-fragment I called home to leave with the hope that Voice-Memo would eventually save it for me. And it sounded better once mailed that it even did playing out of my cheap little land-line speaker ( I guess mic-placement is everything ! )
    But the recording was 2 min 50 seconds and trying to mail it to myself brought up the warning that it was "too big" !! Luckily, the first 27 seconds was unrelated and expendable . . . and being able to trim it did the trick.
    *So what's the size limit on a mailable Memo Apple people ?*
    ( It was 4.1 mb as attached to the mail )
    Also, how odd is it that it was still "Sending" within the iPhone, yet already sitting in my iMac's email well before the "airplane whoosh" of sent mail sounded.
    Hmm . . . . .

  • Voice Memos will not play through Home Sharing on other devices.

    I have synced my voice memos to my Apple library on my Mac Mini and can listen to them on that device with no problem. However, when I use my iPad or MacBook or Air to play the memos using my Home Sharing the voice memos will not play on the device. Sometimes a random song will start instead of the voice memo. I can play videos and music through Home Sharing with no problems, it seems to be only the voice memos that won't stream to the connected devices. Any help would be great (using Yosemite on devices).

    I'm running 4.3.3 on mine and just played Joe Ely's latest album on my 1st generation Zeppelin. I do get the message about it not being compatible and possible noise but I dismiss that and play the music.
    You may need to reset your Zeppelin (disconnect it from power, wait 2 minutes, plug it back in), Reset you iPhone (hold down the sleep and home buttons, ignore the red Off slider, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttones) or do both.
    You may also need to update the firmware on your Zeppelin if you have not done so before now.

  • Iphone voice memos does not stay open

    iphone voice memos does not stay open

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Music and voice over does not play in iMovie

    Music and voice-over does not play in iMovie

    I am having the same problem with my iTunes. Support had me uninstall everything and reinstall iTunes again thinking it was corrupt. I did that and it worked for a couple of days. Now they say that cannot help since it is iTunes and not my iPhone and sent me here. Sometimes I can get it to work sporadically if I reboot my laptop a couple of times, but I have rebooted a few times already and nothing plays...no song previews, nothing from my library. iPods and iPhone play fine, it is isolated only to iTunes and is super frustrating. I get the same task bar up top as if it were going to play, but the play timer doesn't start. Help please!!!

  • My ipod touch does not want to sync with itunes

    My ipod touch ( 4 th IOS 5 firmware 5.0.1  8gb ) does not want to sync with itunes on my computer while on another computer be synchronized
    HELP please !

    What?
    What do yo mean it does not want to sync?
    Are you trying to say it does sync with one computer but not with another????? If so, this is by design. All iDevices are designed to sync with one and only one computer.

  • Voice memos will not play

    The voice memos appear to have been recorded on my I-pod Touch as it list the date and length of the recording, but it will not play or sync the voice recording.

    When you record a VM, does the VUY meter show the level?
    What happens when you try to play the VM? Does it appear to play but with no sound?
    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod?

  • Voice memos will not play full recording

    I have a 4 hour 46 minute meeting recorded but can only play the first 2 minutes and 2 seconds of the recording.
    As you can see from the screen dump above the recording shows 4h 46m 9s but the player at the bottom only allows the first 2m 2s to be played. The recording will sync to my PC but again only the first 2:02 is copied across.
    Does anyone know why this happens and how to recover the original 4h 46m recording?
    Andrew

    I just had the same problem with a 2:10 minute voice memo only sending or playing back the first 12 seconds. theres nothing anywhere on the internet to help me. Did you figure out what to do?

  • Shared voice memos will not play on recipient's iPhone

    My wife and I both have 16GB 3GSs. She's on 3.1.2, and I'm on 3.1.
    If I create a voice memo and then choose to share it via email, when she receives the email on her iPhone, she's unable to play it. Her iPhone tells her taht it cannot play m4a files.
    I think this is rather strange....
    Any ideas?

  • Voice Memos (iPhone app) doesn't sync to iTunes

    "Include voice memos" is checked in iTunes but they don't sync, no playlist is made.  The files are too large to email. Is there another way to make this happen?  I've only just begun using the application in the past few days.  Other notes: I have a new MBP (one week old) which replaced a previous MBP to which the iPhone was a long-time pal.  Since I linked the iPhone to my new MBP, each time they sync, the same 17 podcasts (1 each from 17 of the 26 to which I'm subscribed) and the same 92 songs (out of the 2000+ in playlists chosen to sync) are transferred to the iPhone.  Another issue probably...???  Thanks in advance!

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync, Voice Memos tab under iPhone blank

    I have all my iPhone music and videos manually managed, but somehow the voice memos got synced to my iTunes automatically each time I click Sync iPhone under the album "Voice Memos" and artist name "&MyPhoneName" which is fine by me. Is that normal? How to turn it on or off?
    Then I notice that some of the voice memos do not sync, and the Voice Memo tab under iPhone is blank. All the voice memos are still in my iPhone. How does that happen?

    In the music part of your iphone in itunes, uncheck the box for syncing voice memos. Then apply changes. Check that it is all gone on your iphone. Go back to itunes and check the box for voice memos and sync. Itunes would copy the voice memos back to your iphone in the process.
    that worked for me. +Don't forget to update to ios 6 latest, as apple fixed (at least improved) the bug causing wrongly sync music/voice memos not appearing.

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

  • Some Voice Memos do not sync from iPhone to Mac?

    I recorded a number of meetings to my iPhone using the Voice Memo app. When I sync with my Mac, most of these transfer to iTunes, but a handful don't, for no reason I can see. I did not record them any differently from the ones that made it across. I tried emailing the missing memos to myself from within Voice Memo, but the email silently failed, perhaps because the files are too large (almost an hour).
    I've seen other similar threads on the web - the suggestion to uncheck and re-check the "Include Voice Memos" box did not help.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
    (My suggestion for Apple is that iTunes and Voice Memo need a big usability upgrade.)

  • My iMovie voice recording is suddenly not working. As I record, it shows the green bars; however, when I play the recording it does not play my voice over at all nor show the green bars. I was mid-way through my project when this problem occured.

    As far as I can see, it's random. Everything. Nothing makes any sense!
    A the moment, the iPhone is playing music with the SIM card, but without anything plugged into it, but it's occasionally fading in and out.
    Oh, and I doubt this is related, but about two months ago the iPhone failed to show that the battery was draining - it was stuck at 100%. This went on for a few days, it wouldn't even warn me at the 20% mark, it would just shut off. This happened for at least three full charges - I remember at one point it suddenly started working again at about the 70% mark, I'm not sure if it was alright after that or if it went glitchy on the next charge... but in any case, the problem mysteriously never reappeared after those few days.
