Voice memos on iPhone automatically go to iTunes

Every time I record a voice memo on my iPhone, it shows up in my music library in iTunes. SO I delete it. But is there a way to prevent it from showing up there in the first place?

I haven't found a way. It seems this is a "feature". "iTunes automatically syncs 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." Page 15 of the User Guide.
If you really don't want this, let Apple know. Post to iPhone Feedback: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

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.

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!

Voice Memo on iPhone but Not in iTunes or TouchCopy

Recorded a 9 minute memo on 1/14/2010. Too large to email. Sync to iTunes 9.0.2.25 on Windows XP Pro, with "Include voice memos" checked but can't find it in the phone's "Voice Memos" folder, can't see it in Music Library, and even TouchCopy can't see it. Only shows up on the phone itself.
"Tell me, Mortianna. Am I thwarted?"

Note in the original post that I already checked "Include voice memos." I should have not had the dangling modifier and said:
"Include voice memos" checked but can't find *the memo* in the phone's "Voice Memos" folder, can't see *the memo* in Music Library, and even TouchCopy can't see *the memo*. *The memo* only shows up on the phone itself.

IPhone syncs Voice Memos after unchecking sync box in iTunes

I do not want to sync my voice memos from my iphone to itunes so i have unchecked the sync voice memos option and they still continue to sync over and itunes creates a playlist for voice memos. I have tried this numerous times and even after a restore it still happens? Anyone have any ideas?

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 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.

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!

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.

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?

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

Transferring Nano 6G voice memos to iPhone 4?

I have the latest iTunes and ios versions. Nano 6g and iPhone 4 on iOS 5. PC on windows vista home premium.
I need to transfer the voice memos recorded on the Nano 6G to my iPhone 4 voice memo recordings folder.
I have synced the nano and it's voice memos have been automatically transferred to a music playlist and removed from the nano Voice memo recording folder. All my previously synced iPhone 4 voice memos are now in the nano playlist. iTunes has created 2 voice memo folders. One folder has triplicate voice memo files! And all the nano voice memos are now on a playlist on my iPhone. And now when I try to sync my iPhone, iTunes gets hung up on step 6 of 6 that says waiting for files to copy. There is now 8gb of "other" on my iphone as result of several unsuccessful sync attempts.
Problem is I need the all the voice memos from both devices on my iPhone 4. Cherry creek Genius' are not helpful and most, if not all, didn't know The Nano 6g had voice memo recording capabilities.
Someone please help!!!

Voice memos are synced to the computer through iTunes. From there you can do whatever you want to from there.

How to permanently delete voice memos from iPhone 4s?

As you can see, I have over 387 voice memos somewhere on my phone, and I want them permanently deleted. I've deleted the voice memos through the voice memos app, and these appear to be all of the deleted voice memos. I tried deleted the voice memos playlist, and that didn't do anything either. This list is shown on the new iTunes.... where you click "On This Phone" when looking at my connected iphone. It's taking up a ton of space on my phone and I don't need them. A majority of them appear to be the exact same voice memo just in there a bunch of times. I can't find a solution anywhere for this.
Also, how can I make sure that any future voice memos don't sync to my iTunes? I can't find an option to uncheck the syncing of voice memos. All of these changes are confusing me.
Thank you!
UPDATE: I just checked, and I do not have voice memos checked in itunes as syncing to my computer from my phone. So why was it syncing anyway? I don't understand.

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.
