Voice Memos question?

Hey guys, I have a question about voice memos on the iPhone 4 and syncing. If I sync the recordings from my phone to iTunes and delete them from my phone (to open up space for other things like apps and pictures), and then plug my iPhone back into the computer, will the memos that were on the computer disappear or will they still be there? Thanks for the time

Did you ever get it fixed?

Questions about using the Voice Memos app

I'm currently an Android user, but will be getting an iPhone 6 soon. My most used app is the voice memos app on my Android phone. I have a couple questions about the iPhone's built-in voice memos app.
-Am I able to transfer my voice memos from my Android phone to my iPhone, so my recordings from my Android app will show up in the iPhone's voice memos app?
-When exporting voice memos from the iPhone to computer, are recordings in MP3 format? If not, what format are they in?
-In your opinion, how is the recording quality of the voice memos app?

You cannot import your Android voice memos to your iPhone's voice memo app. You might be able to play the Android memos and have the iPhone pick up the audio and record it.
Here is the writeup about sending voice memos from the iPhone to your computer (from the iPhone User Guide):
App quality is excellent.

IPhone 5 voice memo app question

I recorded a music lesson as a voice memo and need to share it with the other students who were at the lesson. when I tried to email it, I got a message that the file was too large to send. How can I transfer it to my computer so that I can save it on a thumb drive?

The voice memo will sync to itunes under music. Not sure how you would export to your computer.
You can email the voice memo into sections.

VOICE MEMOS ARE GONE

hello, i have iphone 5s with software virsion 7.0.6
i plugged the iphone into itunes latest virsion (11.1.5) on my laptop to get to voice memos and transferre them to my desktop, i syncronized the iphone many times and i could see the voice memos and play them on itunes, but i couldnt copy them or export them. in the last syncronization i plugged off the iphone in the middle of sync proccess as a result i can see my voice memos on the iphone now but it doesnt play, the voice memos list is all in gray and doesnt play at all!
notice that with another iphone 5s and different computer i could see the voice memos, play them AND COPY THEM to the desktop without syncronization!
now, the question is if i plugged in the iphone to the itunes again, will the voice memos be back to the iphone?
if you have any suggestions please provide me with.

You should never try to sync your phone with more than one computer or you will lose your data. The pictures were not deleted because the sync process does not touch Camera Roll pictures (it only includes them during the backup step of the sync process).
If you had these voice memos on your phone when you last synced it to your first computer, and if you haven't synced to this computer since then, you could restore from the backup created during your last sync. This will replace the data on your phone with the data from this older backup so anything new will be lost. If you think that is the case, do not sync your phone again to the first computer prior to restoring from this backup or you will overwrite it and the backup will be lost. Instead, prior to connecting your phone to your first computer, open iTunes and disable automatic syncing by going to iTunes Preferences and on the Devices tab checking "Prevent...from syncing automatically". Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar right-click on its name and select Restore From Backup and choose your last backup (containing your voice memos).
If you didn't have these voice memos on your phone when you last synced to your first computer, or if you have synced again to your first computer since losing your data, then your voice memos and other data are lost.

How to transfer voice memos from iphone to computer since iOS7 update

Since upgrading to iOS 7 voice memos are no longer being transfered from my phone to my computer when I plug it in. This was a simple, automated process in the past, now I can't seem to get it work at all. Does anybody out there know if Apple dropped the backup function for voice memos from the new operating system?
Frustratingly, I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with Apple "Support" and was told I was elevated to the highest level on this question. She actually told me that the "sync" process only ever went one way, from the computer to the phone. I asked her if that was the case, how did the old voice memos make it from my phone into the playlist in iTunes (that was created by iTunes for me) in the first place? She actually told me that it never worked that way! Please help!

When I plugged in my iPhone, the memos were not transferred, but when I clicked on "Sync" in iTunes, it created a Voice Memos playlist and my new recordings showed up.
This is the first time I ever tried using voice memos before. It looks like syncing is done manually instead of automatically. I got my answer from this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23658301#23658301

Voice Memos disappear

At a conference I made about 10 recordings. At the end of the day all recordings were available. The next day I synced my iPhone, but didn't find no new recordings in the Voice Memo Play list. Checking Voice Memos on my iphone I only found the first and the last recording of the conference.
After syncing again only the last Voice Memo was added to the playlist in iTunes.
Does anyone know what is happening here?
It seems that the recordings are still in the iPhone, but invisible to me. In the iPhone backup I found the recording with a MOV filetype.
Now is another question. How can I make them visible again or how can I delete them from my iPhone?

I can verify that the above "work around" did indeed work...
found my lost voice memos in: /User/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
-renamed them with the extension .mov and they played flawlessly in Quicktime.
Thanks for the fix!
But not even the time stamps were right on the memos. Kinda pointless if this is how synincing large files is going to be. Mine were only about 5-10 min. long.
Why is this happening though? It would be nice if there was a fix coming in one of the iPhone OS updates. Otherwise, I'm back to using my Griffin iTalk App.. that hasn't failed me yet.

Voice memos in ios 7: lengths not set at first

Hello;
I intended to write this as a question about what happened to an important voice memo that
I recorded yesterday, but going through what I did yesterday leads me to believe that I actually
deleted it because I thought it was empty.
I just upgraded to ios 7 on my iphone 4. Yesterday was my first experience using the new
voice memo app. It is my practice to record audio of class meetings and then the post an
mp3 file to the cloud. At the end of class, I noticed that a voice memo had been recording as
I expected. I don't recall if I paused recording then hit "Done" or hit "Done" directly. A dialogue
box came up:
> New Voice Memo
> Enter a name for this voice memo
> New Recording
> Cancel OK
A student asked a question and I had to leave the room, so I didn't complete the step of naming the file
then.
Later, I noticed a recording of zero length (0:00:00) which I thought had gotten created inadvertently
(that seemed to be easy to do in the previous version of voice memo, so I didn't think much of it).
I deleted that file. The question remained what had happened to my recording (of about 75 minutes).
As I tried to recreate my problem now, so I coud write it up accurately, I realized that all the voice memos I
created are shown as 0 length when they first appear on the list of recordings. As I tried this a few times,
the delay in changing the length from 0:00:00 to the correct length did vary... from almost
instantaneously up to a couple of seconds (I don't know if it depends on the length of the file: the longest
I tried now was about 30 seconds).
For what it's worth, the zeros should not be displayed at all.
Best regards,
Daryl

i have managed to work out what this issues is being caused by please head over to my blog, but apple needs to fix this up properly.

Voice memos on phone will not transfer to iTunes.

A little help. I recently updated my iPhone 4 to the iOS6 software and my iTunes to 10.7. Since I did this I can not sync my voice memos on my phone over to iTunes. I have a Macbook Pro.
"include voice memos" is checked.
Desired voice memos to be transfered over do NOT show up under "Voice Memos" tab when iPhone is plugged into iTunes. But I can see them under the "music" tab, I can play them but I can not transfer them over.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Tried the whole "consolidate library" bit to no avail.

Any luck here? Why isn't Apple responding to these questions/issues re: voice memos not synching? I have the same problem, prior to the update I could sync my voice memos no problem and now they will not sync. Since the update my battery life is terrible and apps are slow so i've been advised to reset everything or "restore new" or whatever, which means I need back up everything... all backed up now besides my voice memos. I've been checking and unchecking "include voice memos" with no luck, ended up unchecking Sync Music and now iTunes wants to delete all iPhone "existing content" and "replace with songs and playlists from your iTunes library". Will this delete my iPhone voice memos?? Guess I'm headed into the store tomorrow.

How do you rename voice memos in iTunes?

I'm trying to rename my voice memos in my iPod via iTunes, but when I sync renamed voice memos back to my iPod, it doesn't not transfer the name. It works if I name voice memos using my iPod and transferring it into iTunes, but not the other way around. I have so many though, I would love to be able to do all the lableing in iTunes. Is there a way to make it work the way I want it to?
Also, I read in another thread that I can organize my files if I make it into a music type file instead of a voice memo... but the thing is I don't want them to be mixed in with my song library. I want them to stay in their own separate place.
If someone could help me out that would be great. Thanks!

Hi, heymelody : I have the same question asked above and i would like to know your secret way to lable my Voice Memos on my iPod Touch, and hopefully also so can see same description lables on my iTunes on my Mac computer.
Thanks.

How do I stop Voice Memos from showing up in the iPod App?

I have an iPhone 4. I do not want Voice Memos to pass through to the iPod app. I really don't want them in iTunes either, but I can live with that I suppose. In iTunes, in the iPhone section, under the Music tab, "Include Voice Memos" is NOT checked. However, after I record new voice memos, the next time I sync, they go into iTunes and right into the iPod app. Then when I'm playing the "Recently Added " playlist (my new music), I hear my voice ("And here is my recap of today's marketing meeting") which I do NOT want to hear in iPod. Thanks for any help.

Hi preserve,
This is very strange! I have the LG G2 phone and my text messages do not go to my email. What text messaging application applications are you using? Are all text messages going to your email or only those from certain contacts? I use Verizon Messages http://bit.ly/13rcZfv and all my messages flow very nice. Please post answers to the above questions and we'll explore options to resolve.

Voice memo not working

Recently the Voice Memo function on my iPhone is not working. When I click on it I get the 'microphone' icon, but when I switch on it collapsed back to main screen. The guy at Genius Bar suggested that I should 'restore iphone' my iPhone settings.
When I got to do this I get a message saying "Are you sure you want to restore the iPhone to its factory settings? All of your media and other data will be erased." This sounds v scary, not sure of consequences and not sure what to do. Can anyone help?

Hello John,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I concur with my colleague at the Apple Store, we may need to restore your device. Furthermore, we have great utilities in place to avoid data loss while restoring: backing up with iTunes and/or iCloud. I have included information about how to do so, along with a step-by-step guide on restoring your iPhone:

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.

Voice memos don't sync on iTunes 10.5.3.

After updating my MacMini to iTunes 10.5.3, voice memos recorded on my iPod Touch 4G do not sync anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

Please disregard my question - I was confused by the voice memos not being listed as being on the device when the iPod is docked. But they are found and copied when I sync, and are listed as being on the device then as well.

Sync Music will not sync voice memos. Why?

When I check "include voice memos" in Sync Music, and sync music, Voice Memos do not move into iTunes.
Memo is 33 minutes but that does not really seem, to me, to be an issue. A search does not find it nor is there a Voice Memo Folder created in iTunes
Ideas? Solutions?
Thanks

I didn't start this thread, but have the same question. I recently updated my iTunes and tried to sync and backup my iPhone so I can update to iOS7. Only, my music is not syncing from my iPhone to iTunes. Some of this music I have had for a couple of years and no longer have the CD for (I have teenagers...CDs damaged or missing). Out of 104 songs, only 3 are showing up. Any ideas?
