Voice memos recorded since iOS7 missing when syncing

Hi All,
I regularly use voice memos to record lectures on my iPhone 4 and then transfer to computer for editing.
However, since I installed iOS7, all voice memos recorded since then show up on the phone itself, but not in iTunes (or the DeTune App) when I try to sync to my computer. It seems they're unrecognizable by iTunes.
I've tried rebooting the phone, the computer, etc, but after weeks of looking for a solution haven't found one.
Can anyone help please?

I have this same problem, voice memo from Jan 19th was synced ok,
but I did something different today, so they possibly caused it:
The recording is over an hour long, I usually record only about 5 minutes
I renamed the title with Edit function
I managed to get all my voice memos off my iPod touch using iFunBox which is a free app.
Download it here: http://www.i-funbox.com/ifunboxmac/
There's also a windows version on the site.

Voice Memos won't play, disappear when sync

I recently got the iPhone, and only today did I try using the Voice Memo. At first, it worked fine, just testing it, but then it stopped working right.
The iPhone records, or at least says it records, my voice memo, and when I go into the list of voice memos, it is there. But when I try to play it, nothing happens. The bar at the bottom, with the minutes:seconds, just says "0:00" at both ends.
And when I sync with iTunes, the voice memos disappear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2062895&tstart=0 . The third party ap iphone explorer is free and finds all the lost recordings, at least as mov files (actually an improvement from the m4a files Apple makes you to use). These showed up on my phone with zeros on the counter and would not play, when I e-mailed them, the attachments were 0 KB, when I tried to find them through itunes I could not. (Side note: I like itunes for music with my ipods, but for all the other aps on the iphone not user friendly for downloading, moving around). When I foolishly rebooted the phone, three of four formally existing voice memos just disappeared. When I used to the free iphone explorer ap I found them. Files of my boy talking for the first time that would have been lost forever. Another third party ap, phoneview, is helpful for downloading photos, but didn't help on the lost voice memos. So I'm using three software programs to manage my one phone... Oh, and don't think the phone recordings are safe either. I've been a Mac user since the beginning and despite the hype I think the iphone is the worst thing they've made to date. has wasted much of my "free" time trying to make work.

I have a Voice Memo recording in my iPod Classic which I want to transfer to the iTunes Library. How can I do this?

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.

How do I get a voice memo recording onto my laptop

I have recorded a discussion on my phone in the voice memo section, and want to transfer the recording onto my laptop. When I have used a digital recorder in the past, and plugged into my computer it has automatically recognised it, and I have saved on laptop and transferred to wherever. I can't seem to do the same with the iphone, can anyone help.
Thanks

If you don't have a share icon I'd contact the police or a lawyer to see what they suggest. Or as Spudge suggests take your iPad to the police. Can I ask what voice memo app you're using on an iPad ?
DropBox is a cloud based storage system.

Recovering lost section of voice memo recording

Hi all,
Last night I was taking a recording using Voice Memos. I fell asleep during the recording, and when I woke, my phone's battery had died. Normally when this happens, the app will cut off the recording at the moment the phone dies, saving everything up to that point, but this time it only saved the first hour of the recording. Yet when I plugged it into iTunes, the file said it was "last modified at 8:51am," meaning the recording should have been saved up to that point. So, I have a feeling the rest of the recording could still exist somewhere in the phone, perhaps in a trash bin of some sort.
I've looked in other threads and downloaded iFunBox to look through the files, but neither have worked. Anyone have any ideas?

You don't.

Named voice memos on iphone changing names when imported to mac through iTunes.

I have a lot of memos that have all been named on my iPhone. Now I'm trying to import the voice memos, but I can't seem to make the voice memos keep their original titles. When viewed through iTunes the titles are correct, but when I try and drag the files to a folder the titles are renamed to a generic date and time format. These "wrong" titles are also present when manouvering to the iTunes media folder containing the voice memos.
Is it really true that you can't make iTunes preserve the original titles?

An alternative would be to switch to manual management of your iPhone.

How can I transfer voice memos from my iPhone 4 without syncing and having all music/video/audiobook content deleted from my phone?

I would like to be able to transfer several very long voice memos from my iPhone 4 to my PC. They are too long to email to myself. I manage music manually, so the phone doesn't sync automatically. I have also not checked off "include voice memos" in my music sync preferences because of a warning that pops up which suggests that I will lose all the music, video & audiobook content on my phone and that it will be replaced with all iTunes content. (Several of the audiobooks on my phone were transferred in directly from my library system's audiobook service & I will lose them permanently if they are wiped off the phone.) Is there a way around this? I am able to transfer photographs directly to my computer because my PC recognizes the iPhone as an external disk and I was able to locate the photo folder, but I have no idea of where to look for the voice memo folder in order to transfer them in the same manner. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Can't find voice memo on ipad ios7

I cannot find the Voice memo app on my iPad Mini (iOS7.04) Have tried a resetting the home screen and checked the restrictions as suggested on other communities. can anyone help me find where it has gone? I found it on my iphone but not the pad.

Good one. And we're not even talking about samsung ! I don't agree however. Bit cheap though. Pitty. So we'll better stop this thread here.
The thread will most likely go on regardless of whether or not you chose to continue to participate.
It's very simple. Appls has never said why they have not included all the same features in all of their devices (though I still maintain it's pretty obvious in most cases). Therefore, no one here can answer "why". Submit your feedback and, while you're waiting and hoping for Apple to do what you want, find apps that fill your current needs.

Wanted "hands free" voice memo recording.

I am an inspector. I want to use my new Motorola Razr Maxx to make "voice memos"… recordings, while I am inspecting. I have a Plantronics Voyager PRO HD Bluetooth headset that I can access my voice commands. Love it.
I am disappointed that my phone does not have a "memo recorder" as a part of the ‘voice commands’ I access through my headset.
I have not found an app to let me do what I need to do.
I want to use my headset to access the recorder… then use the headset to start and stop the recording … all from my headset while leaving my phone in the safety of its pouch.
Does anybody know of an app or widget to get me where I want to go?

Hi
I got the exact same experience. But I have the guitar tuner app "ClearTune". I don't know if the app is locking the internal mic from the voice recorder?. What a pain

Voice memo recording

Hi, can anyone help me to understand why yesterday I was able to record direct into my brand new iphone 4 by simply pressing the big red button in voice memo and today it's telling me I need to insert a microphone? No issues with making calls, just the voice mail app gone potty..
I have the i-Rig app (free version) and roughly 10 minutes of other voice mail data stored. It's annoying the **** out of me!!

3GS Voice Memo appears in phone will not sync to iTunes

Yes, I'm on an antiquated phone but refuse to switch until a real 4G iPhone is released!
I recorded a very important interview yesterday. No matter what I do it will not sync to iTunes on my MBP. I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard and iTunes 10 with all updates applied.
I have gone through the recommended steps in other threads such as:
Consolidate my library.
Deleted playlists and re-created them.
Deselect sync items - sync - select sync items - sync
No go to all options. The memo is 30 minutes and too large to SMS or mail. Fortunately it's still on the phone, but i need to get it to my Mac to edit excepts and publish. Any suggestions?

that only makes it say its synced, when its not.
No, it does not. It transfers purchases from the iDevice to the computer. The computer must be authorized for the Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

my playlists wont show up on the phone.
Are they selected to sync? Is Manually Manage content on the device selected?

What does that have to do with syncing content to the device? FYI, nothing.

Since iOS7 unable to sync any more than 600 songs. Any ideas?

Right so i had iOS7 beta as at the time a friend and i were going to make an app. Never got round to it but continued using the Beta's.
Ever since that Beta i cannot sync all 4000 songs i have. They used to work fine. I got my iPhone 3 days after the official release of the iPhone 5, at the time the first beta for iOS7 was released it was still in warranty. I had to wait till the final release was out before i could go to apple, warranty was still valid until october sometime.
Public release of iOS7 came, restored the device from fresh and still i cannot sync all my music. It will do all the other parts and sit on 'waiting for changes to apply' or 'waiting for items to copy'. Note that NOTHING was copying. Eventually, 20-30 seconds later, the phone stops showing the syncing symbol. Then the PC changes to 'cancelling sync', so i figured id test this and allow it to cancel for 12 hours. Nothing changed till i removed the device. Before i took it to apple i was going to wait for my new PC to arrive so i could have a fresh install and then fresh phone to test this issue. Unfortunately it was delayted and since i overr ran my warranty. Now apple wont speak to me without charging me.
So, BRAND new install of Windows 7 or 8, as i tried both. Fresh import of my library and complete clean restore of the iphone and still i cannot sync anymore than 600 songs.
I have a 64Gb iPhone and the songs will be taking up 32gb, they used to fit without an issue so i am lost at what is going on. How can a fresh install of windows, fresh copy of my library with all my songs re-imported not sync correctly?!?!
On another note, my iPod syncs absolutely fine from the same PC. Nothing has changed on that badboy for like 3 years, never been restored and all is happy as larry. I work in IT too so its not like I'm a technophobe, i love these devices. But like any other human, want to throw it at something very hard when things cannot be resolved.
Only thing i havnt tried is running this without my junction point to move my iPhone backups off of my SSD. Noting this just to see if anyone sees this could potentially effect things. Not sure why or how it would as the phone backs up without issues just felt the need to include anything i can to help Any help is appreciated as this has been going on like 3-4 months now.
NOTE: I didnt go to Apple as it is really frustrating trying to get a Genius bar appointment when trying to work full weeks etc. Weekend is my chillout time, so dont shoot me for not waiting to troubleshoot more then

From the technical specifications for the iPod Classic:
Audio
Frequency response: 20Hz to 20,000Hz
Audio formats supported: AAC (8 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Store), HE-AAC, MP3 (8 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3, 4, Audible Enhanced Audio, AAX, and AAX+), Apple Lossless, AIFF, and WAV
I don't know much about Apple Lossless (which has recently become Open Source, I believe) so I have not seen any information on the bit rates used in that format, but do your files conform to the above? If not, perhaps that's why there is a problem. Bit rates for both AAC and MP3 files can only be a maximum of 320kbps, so to be honest, I'd be surprised if an iPod could handle a bit rate of 800 - 3000kbps in any of the other formats.
As for your comment about "killing the quality" - songs are at 256 and 320kbps may be compromising quality or reducing quality, but it really isn't "killing quality". If you think it is, then you need to stick to an audiophile hi-fi music set up, not iPods

IOS game build missing when sync

I was building a couple of Unity games into my iPod Touch using Xcode.
When I tried to sync it with my MBP (Lion OS), all those game builds went missing.
It's not listed on my Apps list on iTunes... they just get deleted like that upon syncing the device.
Any idea what might have happened?
I turned off my iCloud (because it kept showing those stupid messages asking me to buy more storage), but that won't really have any effect on the iTunes sync rite?

Oh, no this is not a developer-type problem. I'm not asking about why my games doesn't work or what not.
This is a device-related problem. My "homebrew" apps disappear everytime I sync my iPod Touch to my MBP.
I have to build them again and again using Xcode, only to get it deleted when I sync it with iTunes~
