Voice memos lost in iTunes sync

I use voice memos on my iPhone 5 (iOS 7.0.2) to record my lectures for university. I synced my voice memos today to iTunes  (11.1.1) and some, but not all, of the lectures were lost. Those which were lost had a similar title and were for the same class.  Their titles in voice memos on the iPhone still exist, but their time of recording has been reduced from ~1:15:00 they were at to 0:00, as if I had never recored them at all.  They were present before the wireless sync and are now absent.  Some of the syncing went on without issue, but those for the same class did not.  I am a disabled student and use these lectures for revision.  Is there any way I can locate them?
Cheers,
Jenny

  • Voice Memos Disappear After iTunes Sync

    Anyone else experiencing this? My wife had 6 lectures recorded today on the iPhone before we synced it tonight. All of them had been recorded today. When she returned home she showed me the files on the iPhone so I can verify they were there.
    However, once the first sync tonight completed, the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes only contained 3 of the lectures. What is worse is the iPhone now only contains these 3 lectures as well. Searched through the iTunes library and these are the only Voice memos to be found.
    I performed a Restore (3.0) and then restored from the backup that was performed during that last sync and only recovered a short test memo we recorded that day before.
    I will be filing an iPhone Feedback report, but wanted to know if this has occurred with anyone else. Cheers!

  • 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.

  • How to sync a voice memo inside an itunes playlist to iphone?

    Hello there.
    Here's a tricky question and  could find the answer nowhere.
    I synced my iPhone with iTunes.
    My Voice memos are on iTunes.
    I deleted them from my phone. They're still on iTunes.
    I create different playlists on itunes with my voice memos in them.
    I check the "include voice memos" case for syncing.
    ...and the voice memos do NOT appear in my playlists on the iPhone! They're back in the Dictaphone app, but not in Music.
    How can I deal with that?
    Thanks

    OK.  How do I take them OUT of the voice memos playlist.  They are listed under Albums and the album name is VoiceMemos.  I tried going into the get info section of one of them and tried to change it manually there to no avail.  All I want to do is add ONE single voice memo (a recording of me singing a specific song to someone) to a playlist so that I can then burn that playlist to disc.  This is REALLY annoying.  Yet another reason that I should switch to Android.  >:(

  • How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?

    How do I get voice memos from an un-synced iPhone onto a MacBookPro?
    Problem: when I click Sync I get a warning stating "Are you sure you want to sync music? All existing songs and playlists on the iPhone “Jarrod Vassallo’s iPhone” will be replaced with songs and playlists from your iTunes library."
    I don't care if the iPhone syncs with the laptop (and the music is lost), I just cannot afford to lose the Voice Memos too as they are very important. Any suggestions?

    To follow this user tip using iTunes 11, fist go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases (step 5) is now in File>Devices.
    If they're too large to email and you don't want to sync, the only other option is to use 3rd party software to transfer them using usb, such as PhoneView (Mac only) or Touch Copy (PC or Mac).

  • Voice memos lost after restore. I've tried everything.

    When I plugged my iPhone 5 in a few weeks ago it said it needed to update the software. I clicked OK. It froze hard while doing this. I had to do a restore. That's when I "lost" my voice memos. For voice memos I use the app "Recorder" by Bear-Software (I asked them for help but got no answer). After the restore all of my voice memos are gone, sort of. The folders and times of the individual voice memos were all put back on my iPhone, but if I try to play any of them I get the message "Warningw (sic) There was an error loading the sound file." I looked at my time machine backups. It appears that my voice memos stopped backing up about one year ago. Why, I don't know (I have Voice Memos checked in iTunes). I tried iExplorer and Wondershare Dr.Fone. All they find are those 17 old voice memos from a year or two ago. Ditto for PhoneView. Nothing from the past 12 months. Hundreds of voice memos are gone, but if they are really gone how were the "titles" of each voice memo (the day/month/time), and even the exact number of seconds for each one, put back on the iPhone without the actual associated audio file? Am I looking in the wrong place for these backups?
    User --> Library --> Application Support --> MobileSync --> Backup
    This MobileSync Backup file has every item in it listed as a "document."
    Any help will be much appreciated!
    Mac Pro 2X-Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.8 GHz  MA970LL/A
      OS X 10.6.8
      Memory: 10 GB
      ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT
    iPhone 5  (IOS is up to date)
    iTunes 11.02

    This support document tells you about the location of your backups http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    The backup file is not intended to be looked at as if it were just a compilation of data, it is somewhat encrypted.
    Did this app supposed to have saved the voicememo in such a way that when you sync the phone it was located as music? I don't think an application has the access to the iOS to be able to do this. I would think they are located within the app itself as app data like may other apps are. If that is the case, the app data should be saved as part of the backup, but should only be accessed via the app itself.
    My thought is that the only place for you to get support on this would be the app developer, as they should be able to tell you how you might be able to find where data is stored.

  • Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
    Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

  • Voice memos and a first sync

    I have voice memos on my phone, but it was replaced and had not been synced yet. It says it needs to erase and re-sync. If I do this, will it erase my voice memos, or will it sync them over to itunes?
    If it will erase them, does anyone know of a way to get them off before erasing.
    Thanks.

    After spending 2.5 hours on the phone with Apple, the solution was to edit it, trim a second or 2 off one end, save it as new and the computer would recognize the new file. Great.  Thanks. John

  • No voice memos after iPhone 6 sync

    I just backed up my iPhone 4 and set up my iPhone 6, and none of my voice memos are appearing on the iPhone 6. Any suggestions?

    It will happen automatically. iTunes always syncs voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. All you can do is delete them or ignore them.
    Keep in mind that if you delete a voice memo on iPhone, it isn’t deleted from the Voice Memos playlist in iTunes. However, if you delete a voice memo from iTunes, it is deleted from iPhone the next time you sync with iTunes.
    The "Include voice memos" button in the iTunes Music pane for your phone is only for syncing your voice memos playlist back to the phone.

  • Voice Memos older than last Sync date not copying from iPhone to PC after sync, even though "Include voice memos" is checked

    I am trying to copy over my voice memos from my iPhone to my PC. I have "Include voice memos" checked under the Music tab.
    I had an issue with voice memos being duplicated on my iPhone after a sync (I got two versions of each memo on my phone for some reason), so after deleting the extra copies on my phone I deleted all voice memos from within iTunes and chose the option to move the files to the Recycle Bin. So the Music\iTunes\Itunes Music\Voice Memos folder is empty, and there are no voice memos showing up in iTunes.
    But now when I sync, it isn't copying over the older memos that are on my iPhone to my computer. If I record a new voice memo then that memo transfers successfully, but any voice memos with a recording date older than my last sync date do not transfer.
    How can I get these older voice memos (with dates older than my last sync date) transferred over from my phone onto my PC?

    Does anyone know of a way that I can access the voice memos with dates older than my last sync date...?

  • How do I transfer a voice memo (3G) to iTunes?

    Hi folks,
    In the past, I THOUGHT that I transferred a voice memo to iTunes and then was able to use as a ringtone or alarm, but it has been so long and I forget how to do it.  I'm at my wit's end and hope you folks will save me before I start throwing things!!
    Thanks!

    Select "Sync voice memos" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and sync your phone.  Synced voice memos will be found in a Voice Memos playlist that iTuns will create on the left sidebar.  To use it as a ringtone or alert you will then have to convert it to a ringtone and sync it back to your phone.  SeeCreate free ringtones with iTunes 10 video - CNET TV for how to do this.

  • How do I delete voice memos from my iTunes?

    I am trying to delete voice memos from my itunes and there is no delete key, nor does it come up when I "right click" i have tryed command and delete, delete, and right click to search for delete, but its not working.. Help?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

  • How do you encript voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at the computer can listen to them?

    How do you encrypt voice memos in the itunes library so no one else at your computer can listen to them?

    iTunes has no ability to encrypt anything. You'll need to search for encryption software appropriate for whatever type of computer you have. Or, you could set up separate accounts for other users of your computer and password your account.
