Lost all of my voice memos after backup.

When I backup my iPhone 3GS in 10.5 is it doing a full backup of the phone or just what is checked in sync. Because I lost all my voice memos by just "backing it up" before upgrading to iOS5.

Manually Backup to PC - incl. Voice Memos?

After reinstall OS and new iTunes - my iPhone data wouldn't transfer to iTunes. I did manual back up (to PC) and I'm about to restore my iPhone.
What's very important for me is NOT TO LOSE VOICE MEMOS that are on my iPhone. Are Memos included in manual PC backup?
Or: A) Is there a way to get voice memos (copy, save to my PC) without using iTunes
B) Find in my PC from backup those voice memos? (Before I take the chance - restore my iPhone and find out if voice memos made it...?)
I have iPhone 5S(or C), using OS Win 7 64x.
Thank you

Not sure about that, I don't use voice memos so I'm not familiar if they can be transferred to your computer via iTunes sync. But from the Voice Memos app itself you can send them out via email and they'll be an .m4a attachment that you can save. Just tap the send icon (rectangle with arrow pointing up).
But you cannot extract your voice memos out of your iOS backup if that's what you're thinking.

My voice memos duplicate every iTunes sync and now takes up 3GB of my backup size and also from 'other', how do I delete them?

It seems since I got my iPhone 5, my voice memos get duplicated every time it syncs with iTunes. There was only a few memos but a couple of them were rather large. I have found this out by looking at my iTunes backup and find them in /media/recordings. I have stopped them from duplicating by de-selecting them from iTunes, but now how can I delete these items from my phone to free up the space? The best way I could think of is somehow remove them from my backup, then restore. I use iCloud normally for backup so I am almost out of space.
I am using OS 10.8.2 with iTunes 11 and iOS 6.0.1

Update: iExplorer does support deleting voice memos. Received helpful product support email detailing how, even before I registered the product.
while you can delete voice memos where the actual files are stored in Media/Recordings (which is where you should see those missing voice memos), iExplorer 3 isn’t designed to delete them from your device since deleting them iniExplorer 3 won’t update the voice memo database on the device
It's still quite slow and crashes if you try to delete the entire list (I do 10 at a time now), but it works to delete memos that are not refered to any more within the Voice Memos app.
Still doesn't solve the Apple iTunes problem of duplicating SW, which appears to still be happening on a small scale, but I am recovering the Other data back to Free slowly.

If iCloud Backup on; Voice Memos stuck.

Hello Apple People,
Some of my voice memos seem to be stuck.
Seems like they get unstuck if I have iCloud Backup turned off...
For example, if I turn off iCloud backup, then create a voice memo, that latest voice memo will be synced.
However, voice memos created with iCloud Backup on do not get synced into iTunes > iTunes Media > Voice Memos folder.
There is approximately a 20 file gap when I compare the iTunes > iTunes Media > Voice Memos folder to Voice Memos app on my device.
On my own I've tried the following:
Tech Recipies: Voice Memos iPhone to Computer
- Unplug iphone from the computer after the failed sync
- In iTunes, select File –> Library –> Organize Library –> Consolidate files
- Plug in the iphone & sync again
Deleting iTunes Library Files
Creating Alternate/New iTunes Folder
Uninstall/Reinstall iTunes
Recreating iTunes Library
My Device is iPhone 4
Version 5.1.1
PC, Windows Xp
Any ideas on how I can get ALL of the Voice Memos onto my Computer?
Any feedback about his would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Claudia

It only means that you will then automatically be backing up to iCloud instead of automatically backing up to your computer when you sync. No other syncing functions are effected.
Even if you are backing up to iCloud, you can always perform a manual backup to your computer in iTunes by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now under Manually Back Up and Restore.

Voice memos on ios7, it freezes after I try and save it

Hey!
I record all of my lectures on my iphone, but since I have updated to ios7 I am not able to do that. It records the lectures, but when I tap finished/save, it freezes up and the memo just is 00:00 even though I have been recording for 1 and a half hour. I think there is a bug in the new voice memo. Is there anyone else who has this problem or know how to solve it?
PS: any apps you can recommend for me to use.

Nothing seems to work correctly in the new iOS! I also have the same issue (among a number of other issues) and I have tested it time and time again, trying to figure out if it is caused by going into the camera app or the screen locking.
It is definitely a HUGE bug that apple NEEDS to fix, I have lost 5 lectures so far and am regretting ever upgrading to iOS7. If there is a way to revert to the old version of iOS, I would do it immediately!
I have not found any solutions to date, besides using my boyfriends old iPhone 4 which has not upgraded to iOS7. Bad move on apple's part, they shouldn't mess with apps that work great.

How do I backup voice memos from iPhone 4 to my Macbook with iOS 6.0?

How do I backup voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my MacBook, with iOS 6?
I have synchronised them a hundred times but iTunes just doesn't backup my voice memos. And I haven't seen a playlist called "Voice Memos" on the left sidebar either...

Look for Voice Memos under Genres in iTunes.
With the phone connected, click on its name on the left. Then click on the Music tab on the right. Is "Include voice memos" checked?

How do I recover voice memos on my iPhone 4s without a backup

I accidently synced my voice memos to a new itunes library....not realising it treats memos like music and so it wiped out all my voice memos on my iphone. I dont have the backup file since the recent back up is the same file after a ssecond re-sync done in a panic (which made it worse I guess by removing the old backup).
So where can I go from here ? Help is most appreciated.

Thanks very much for your interest.
Yes that is correct, I checked the voice memo box in the music section not knowing it will wipe out everything on my phone.
Re. old back ups...I may have one from one month back. But there voice memos since then also that I need to recover.

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.

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.

Backup my voice memos

How do I backup my voice memos on my iPhone 4 on to a cd?

Seems that after running out of power during a recording, voice memos won't sync anymore, not even the ones that were correctly finished before the power outage.
The solution (some steps may be obsolete, but this worked for me):
* backup the existing files in Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Voice Memos/
* throw away the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes.
* uncheck the 'Include voice memos' checkbox in iTunes' iPhone -> 'Music' tab; Apply
* quit iTunes
* detach usb cable
* re-attach usb cable
* check the 'Include voice memos' checkbox in iTunes' iPhone -> 'Music' tab; Apply
look inside Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Voice Memos/ ... voila!
Intuitive and hassle-free, isn't it?
Good luck!

I'm getting a New Iphone and I need to transfer or backup all of my Voice memos and I cant figure out how to do it. Please help

How do I backup or transfer my voice memos to a new phone??

iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device

How do I find the voice memo file stored in the backup on my computer?

I am trying to find the file on my computer for the voice memos. I tried to save the voice memo and it was deleted from my iphone 5. I am trying to retrieve it from a previous backup on my computer.

They are in the backup created by iTunes of your iPhone.
You will need a 3rd party application top get them out.
Google view iOS backup to see a bunch of apps.

Backup/save/restore voice memos iPhone 5c and iTunes 11.4

In the music tab I have it checked to include my voice memos but I can't find them in iTunes. I search by name; nothing. No playlist, no section in music. They are nowhere. I can use iBrowse to grab them, but they are all just a bunch of numbers and composition folders... that's not very useful.

The following has a section on how to find them in iTunes that may help: http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/02/23/how-to-transfer-voice-memos-iphone-compu ter/

VOICE MEMOS RECOVERY (without iCloud or any backup from anything)

Hello everyone, I have a question!
I was backing up all my stuffs from an iPhone 5 to my iMac.
It was all good because it was loading just fine, but then iTunes pop up asking if we wanted to set it up as:
- A new phone
- Restore
I clicked restore because I thought if I'd set it up as a new phone, it would delete everything.
But after I clicked restore the process STOP & my phone was on restore mode & then afterward it suddenly lost EVERYTHING!!!
Is there anyway I can recover my voice memo without back up?
PLEASE PLEASE help!!!
I really need all of my voice memos back!!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

No. If they were not backed up, they are gone.

Backup Voice Memos

Hi,
I have 217 Voice Memos and would like to copy them into my iTunes Library. When I synch the phone to iTunes and click on Devices-Voice Memos the full list appears. When I click my Voice Memos folder in the iTunes library I only see 123. I have already clicked on my iPhone in the Devices tab and pressed Music-Sync Music - Selected Playlists and also checked 'Include voice memos' but they just wont import. Please tell me what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
