Voice memos noise removing

I use voice memos to record lectures at college, when I come to listen to them on my Mac; they turn out to be very noisy. Is there a way to remove the background noise? Thank you.

  • How can I get my voice memos off of my iPhone?

    I have a new iPhone and took some pictures and recorded a few voice memos.  I would like to save these before I restore my iPhone to the back up I have on my computer.  I was able to import the photos into iPhoto, but I am not sure how to import the voice memos.  Normally, I would see them in iTunes under the Voice Memos playlist, but they are not there.  When I click on the iPhone in iTunes it gives me a choice of restoring from back up or setting up as a new iPhone.  I am worried that either of choices would get rid of the two voice memos I have on my iPhone.  Any advice?

    Hey mahongue!
    I have some information here that may help you import your voice memos into iTunes. This information is written for the iPod, but the steps for saving your voice memos should be the same with your iPhone:
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.

  • IOS 7 Voice Memo

    I've recently recorded a voice memo (58mins) on my iPhone 5s. I need to put this on my computer (iMac os x 10.9.x) and I can't send it via iMessage (didn't work) or email (too large). iTunes is no help either, I'm wondering if there are any good third party helps to help this

    Hey kenny123456789!
    I have an article here for you that can describe how to accomplish this:
    iPod: Recording voice memos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Manually
    Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod.

  • Voice memo won't sync - error message

    I have an iPhone 5 and the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I have the setting on 'sync manually'. The first time I clicked sync to transfer a voice memo to my computer an error message came up and it didn't transfer. Now when I click again it's as if iTunes already thinks it has copied the voice memo over but it isnt there. Any ideas? I need this file on my computer urgently.

    Hi Catherineduffy!
    I have an article here that I believe will help you get this file onto your computer:
    iPod: Recording voice memos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2396
    Specifically, I think these instructions at the bottom of the article will be most relevant for you:
    Transferring a recording to a computer
    Manually
    Voice memos are saved in a Recordings folder on iPod in the WAV file format. If you enable iPod for disk use, you can drag voice memos from the folder to copy them.
    Synchronize
    If iPod is set to update songs automatically and you record voice memos, the voice memos are automatically downloaded to a playlist in iTunes when you connect iPod. Once downloaded, the voice memos are removed from the Voice Memos folder on your iPod. To play the voice memos that have been synchronized to your computer in iTunes, select the Voice Memos playlist on the left side of the iTunes window. To play the synchronized voice memos on the iPod, select the Voice Memos playlist in the Music menu, not the Voice Memos menu in the Extras menu.
    So that file will sync automatically to your computer with automatic sync selected. You may want to try automatic syncing to get the file from your phone onto your computer if that file is still on your phone. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Problem syncing voice memos to ITunes from IPhone 4?

    Recorded Voice Memos will not sync to Voice Memos in ITunes. After connecting the IPhone, I tried Transferring Purchases, then Backup, but they do not appear in the ITunes library. Have been having this issue since latest update on 25/4/2014. I tried unticking and reticking reference to Voice Memos under Music.
    Your advice would be greatly appreciated

    Hi mallee fowl,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand you are trying to transfer Voice Memos to your iTunes Library. On the Summary pane in the sync settings make sure your Manually manage music and videos in not check marked and when you sync your iPhone a playlist should be created called Voice Memos in iTunes. Please use the following article for reference.

  • How can I get my voice memos back to the voice memo app on my iphone

    Yeah, i just synced my iphone with my iTunes library and almost everything went smooth..  my pictures, apps, contacts, calendar, etc.  But I can not find the most important thing, the voice memos..  I had transferred them to my iTunes library the last time i synced, so i thought logically they should sync back into my voice memo app. Its important because they were lectures (im in college)!  And I planned to keep in order until the end of the semester until i had to restore it and back it up (because i went to get a new iphone)..
    But now, i open the voice memo app, and its blank, there's not one memo..  And i don't know how to get them back in there..  I think i could put them in my Music library, but i dont want to do that.   I like to keep them in the voice memo app, so when i have exams i can just go back and listen to them in order (without them being all over the place.) 
    So all I'm asking is, is there a way to get my voice memos back to the voice memo app?  I have the latest version of iTunes (11.0.1.12) and an iPhone 4 with the latest iOs (6.0.1) and note i have a PC (Windows 7)..    I hate how iTunes totally changed their layout, it makes it harder.  That's why i couldn't follow older discussions on here, because the update made the layout so different..  Anyway, if you know what i should do, i would be very grateful.  Thanks.

  • How do you remove voice memos from the iPod after downloading it to iTunes?

    first of all, which model of voice recorder is best for the 5G video 30 gb iPod? I have heard of Griffin iTalk and Belkin Universal Microphone Adapter, but i'm leaning towards the iTalk b'c it looks cheaper on Amazon and eBay. does anyone suggest anything along those lines?
    and also, after recording voice memos (like class lectures and such) onto the iPod and downloading them to iTunes, how do i remove them from the iPod? do i have to make them a different program file (like windows media player, and not iTunes)?

  • How to remove stocks, weather,clock, notes, reminders, youtube, game center calc, voice memos,calendar, maps, and stocks? As a person who blew 300 bucks I think I should have a choice if I want to remove this crap but can't figure out how.

    any help would make me happy. As it stands now from looking on the web it can't be deleted but making sure before i return this ipod touch. I wan't a clean item the way I wan't it and not how they want it. Like I do not need Itunes and App Store on this ipod because I use my computer only to shop, So many things i like out of the ipod and I am sure lots more people also would like a cleaner ipod/phone or what ever.
    from looking at what I never use I see a total of 14 app's I not want taking up space and my screen.
    yup with the 5.0 came another stupid icon i not like. ( Newsstand )

    yes i moved them into a folder, but I not want them at all on my screen. Guess I return this and pick up a
    Zune HD
    less app's on that then ipod touch. thank you for the responce.

  • Is it possible to remove voice memos

    Why would I ever want voice memos on my iPod touch? I would like to remove it from my iPod Touch and free up some space. Can this be done?

    Why would I ever want voice memos on my iPod touch?
    Maybe for recording voice memos using a microphone? That's what its for...
    I would like to remove it from my iPod Touch and free up some space. Can this be done?
    No. You can't remove built-in apps. Even if you could remove it, it might only free up a few hundred kilobytes. Not even enough for an extra MP3

  • I have just purchased 2 songs and I went to sync my Iphone 3G and I get an error 13019.. the iphone "my name" cannot be synced. I have tried.. removing voice memos (I have none) remove all music.. syncs fine.. if I choose to sync music I get the error

    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..

  • IPhone 5S Voice Memos

    Hi everyone,
    I have a problem with the voice memos.
    I am using an iPhone 5S -> iOS7, back up from iPhone 4S (the voice memos were recorded in iPhone 4S).
    Previously, my iPhone 4S had the same problem too.
    The voice memos can't be found in the iPhone VoiceMemo app, but it can be seen from iTunes > On this iPhone > Voice Memos playlist.
    The memos are greyed out in iTunes, but can be played.
    Also, the checkbox in iTunes > Music > Include Voice Memos is unchecked.
    Someone please teach me how to remove all the voice memos in my iPhone 5S and also from the iTunes.
    Thanks.

    and also why do my voice memos show up in my music - only in itunes not on iphone

  • IPhone 5s voice memo

    I have to say that i am getting really tired of upgrading and spending money to have things go wrong with apple !!!!
    It seems like there is always something going wrong.
    I always sync my iphone,
    but today i realized that i did not sync for a while,so i had a bunch of new recordings in voice memo.
    After syncing all the new and old voice memos were on my macbook pro :-)
    BUT removed from my iphone ???
    am i crazy?
    now some of you may say.well you still have em on your computer,and yes that is true,
    however i am a songwriter and constantly work on these ideas throughout my day or when i choose.
    This is why i have spent thousands of dollars on all of my equipment.
    I cant find any help on the web :-(
    I did not do anything different,all i did was plug in my phone like i always do and it syncs.
    Any ideas would be a great help.
    D

    Try syncing it back up and make sure the memos are included in the sync.

  • 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.
