Voice Memos off iPhone 4s

I have a large voice memo (30 minutes), recorded on 7/2/2012.
Can't seem to get it off the iphone and into itunes.
I have tried checking the box to "Include voice memos" & also emailing the memo but get the error that the memo is too long.
Is there any way of getting the voice memo file off my iPhone and onto my Macbook Pro?

I've recorded memos that are 60 minutes long and they sync just fine, so that is strange. Does that error pop up just when emailing or during sync too?

I tunes will not sync voice memos off of Iphone in yosemite

I just updated my macbookpro with the new Yosemite update. However, It won't let me sync voice memos off of my phone! I tried the same thing with my music library and I can only add to the iphone. It will sync music and voice memos on but not off. Photos and videos have come off my iphone so it is not an issue of nothing can be taken off. I have tried fiddling with new itunes forever but I just can't figure it out!
Oh and also it won't sync my contacts off my phone either....
If it helps, it is an iphone 4 so that may be a problem?
Please help, Thank you!

I use a program called iTools. It's an alternative for iTunes and it's more like import/export type of thing rather than sync. I like the windows version better but the Mac version works ok too. And it is free
It should look like this:

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.

Recover deleted voice memos on iphone

Hi there,
I wanted to trim 20 secs off a voice memo and deleted the 70min after instead. Besides paying for software to use via the mac to recover the file I wondered if there was a simple process via the iphone? btw the icloud voice memos was not on?
Cheers
Dom

I think the simplest way is to retrieve deleted voice memos on iPhone through computer, no apps on iPhone available now to do it.

How to copy (edited) voice memos from iphone to itunes

This is a similar question to one that I have already asked, perhaps simpler, though. Imagine I have just recorded a voice memo on iphone: how do I copy it to itunes? Is it done via backup or via sync, and with what options turned on/off? Does it work even if I edit (trim and/or rename) the voice memo on the phone before copying it?
Thank you.

I was having a similar issue and I if I understand correctly, I think this is a solution for others..
in itunes with iphone plugged in, go to summary tab. click "manually manage music.." and apply. Then go to "on this phone tab" and you can actually physically delete the voice memo playlist or individual voice memos. This appears to have finally worked for me..or at least the voice memos playlist doesn't persist under the "on this phone tab" anymore....not sure it made a huge difference in my iphone available space.

Exporting voice memos from iphone doesn't retain their names

Hi,
I'm using an iphone 4 on Vista running the latest itunes (newest update, the whole firmware, itunes etc just updated right before I decided to post this).
I'm trying to save voice memo files from my iphone to my computer, but although they save and play back okay, they have been assigned a bunch of numbers (taken from the recording date and time perhaps) instead of keeping the name I gave them on the phone itself. There are far too many of them to drag off one at a time and rename manually.
So how can I save them all in one go whilst retaining the names I gave them on the iphone?
I've previously managed this - when I initially got the phone and started saving memos I once dragged and dropped a load of them from my iphone through itunes and they did retain their original names, but after trying numerous times since I cannot see how, although it must be possible?
Thanks!

You can transfer voice memos from iPhone to Mac by emailing:
Open the voice memo app and select the recording you want to transfer, then tap on the Share icon in the left corner under the Play button. Now you have the option to send it as a Mail.
Choose Mail then fill in the relevant details and hit send. This is fine for the occasional memo, but if you have several that you want to do at once - or have long recordings whose files sizes are not inbox friendly - then the best solution is to use iPhone Transfer for Mac.

How do you put Voice Memos from iPhone to computer?

I've had a very long chat with Apple Support and they don't seem to know the answer.
My voice memos are important and are above 30MB so emailing isn't an option.
I first synced my memos to my iTunes as usual (music doesn't sync with the library, bear in mind) and expected all my memos to appear, however they didn't. They appeared in the "on my device section" but I couldn't play them as the exclamation point appeared.
Under Apple's instruction I updated to the new iTunes, and now the previous memos don't even appear in the "on my device" section. They said it's likely to do with ios 8. The memos I want were created in ios 8. And now they've randomly been duplicated on my phone so I have two of each?
So after this iTunes update, I made a new memo, which again was duplicated, but now appears in the "on my device" part.
What do I do to put the memos onto my computer somehow? I really need them!

The following is pre iOS 8 but may have something that you missed: http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/transfer-voice-memos-from-iphone-to-com puter-3526349/
One new thing I learned from it is that Evernote which I use for keeping some text notes in sync among various devices has a voice memo capability. Those would be automatically transferred.

Transfer voice memos from iPhone 5 to mac iTunes without replacing all music on iPhone

I have some new voice memos on my iPhone 5 as well as selected music from my iTunes.
I want to transfer the new voice memos to iTunes on my mac but it appears that it will since my itunes library to my phone.
The iPhone is connected to the mac. i am in iTunes and I go to the Device listed as iPhone and click on music.
When I click on the box that says Sync Music, I get a message that says
Are you sure you want to remove existing music, movies etc from this iPhone and sun with intones library...
I click cancel instead of remove and sync. In the sync music window in light grey I can see tha Selected playlists, artist and albums and genres is selected and include voice memos is checked.
On summary I have Manually Manage Music and Videos checked.
I just got the phone and i see on p 110 of the manual how to move recordings to your computer and it isn't doing what I want.
I would like to move the voicemails to the computer without syncing the library and I would like to manually move some songs from iphone to iTunes on the mac.
I also don't know if under Summary if I should check Sync only checked songs and videos
Mac mini 10.5.8
itunes 11.1.5
7.1.1 iphone 5
Thanks for any help.

I think you need to find a third-party tool to copy voice memos from iPhone to Mac because iTunes can't do it. And the only option Apple offers is to backup your iPhone, either to iTunes or iCloud. However, by doing this, voice memos are packed into the backup file package. You can't view them until restore your iPhone with the backup file.

How do I transfer Voice memos from iPhone to my iMac?

I have recordings made on my iPhone using Voce Memos, since updating to OS10.8 these no longer sync to my iMac when using iTunes. The help files for iTunes bear no relation to the screens that iTunes produces and there seems no direct way of transfering my files. Any ideas?
Mike Butler

iTunes should automatically sync voice memos to your iTunes library when you connect iPhone to your computer. This lets you listen to voice memos on your computer and provides a backup if you delete them from iPhone.
Voice memos are synced to the Voice Memos playlist. iTunes creates the playlist if it doesn’t exist. When you sync voice memos to iTunes, they remain in the Voice Memos application until you delete them. 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.

How do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist, how do I put voice memos from iphone to ipad. They are already in Mac as a playlist

I can get my voice memos from my iphone onto itunes on my Mac but when I sync my ipad, it doesn't sync. So I can only listen on my iphone using the voice memos app, which is very frustrating, since you cannot pause it and restart or gets interrupted when you get a call or on my computer. I would love to review some lectures I have taped on my ipad. Any way of doing this

How to extract large voice memos from iphone

I need to extract a large (50 minutes) voice memo from an iPhone 4s using iOS 8.1.1 I'm using a MacBook Air 11-early 2014 with OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Assuming you read the section of the link near the end about where to find them, the only other idea I have would be to try a 3rd party utility but there would be an expense. Following is one possibility: http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/tutorials/export-voice-memos-from-iphone-to- computer?gclid=CjwKEAiA4_WjBRCNgf7A_KeE9jwSJADtegYd7ZtHP5ToZ5GK8_FsbwEBnpl_dA4VR DeZhQxUGQ4jERoCh5Tw_wcB

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.

How do I convert my Voice Memo from iPhone 5s to a text file?

If you have Evernote, you could try quicktate. http://www.quicktate.com
I convert voice memos on my Mac using the Dictation feature:
Open TextEdit on a new document
Enable Dictation & Speech enabled the System Preferences.
Press the fn-key twice
Play the voice memo on the iPhone and let the Mac listen to it using the internal microphone with TextEdit open on a new document.
Press the fn-key twice, to finish Dictation. You will only see the transcribed text, when Dictation has finished.

Export Voice Memos from iPhone 4 to Mac/itunes

I'm trying to get Voice Memos from my iPhone 4 onto my computer so I can then subsequently put them on my iPhone 6. They didn't sync properly the first time I tried.
The apple support told me that I would have to use third party software. Anyone know of any free programs? (TunesGo only allows 20 songs before you have to pay).
THanks!
