Voice memos won't transfer to iTunes?

I have an iPhone 5 that I recorded three voice memos on. They are pretty long, about an hour or a little more each. I've transferred audios longer than this to this same computer before (Macbook Pro), but it won't work now. I know the Include Voice Memos box is checked. I've tried restarting the computer. I've updated iTunes. I've tried renaming the audios. I've tried unchecking and rechecking the box. Everything. Even when I go to the On This Phone part, there is a playlist with the three but there is no way to get them to iTunes.

Hi Martha,
The default direction for uploading Voice Memos is from your iPod to iTunes. To get Voice Memos from iTunes back onto your iPod (assuming they are not already on your iPod), try the following:
1) Open iTunes, with your iPod already attached (docked) into your computer.
2) Select the Voice Memos in the iTunes library you want to transfer.
3) Left-click with your mouse the selected Voice Memos and drag them into the iPod icon in the left frame of the iTunes window.
Note that the default action of uploaded Voice Memos is to have "Genre", "Artist", "Album" and other fields to be undefined and "Unknown", respectively.
So you'll have to define these fields on the iPod if you want to find your Voice Memos in a genre called "Lectures", "Voice Memos" or something similar.

  • Voice Memos won't sync to iTunes anymore

    So for some reason when I sync my iPhone 3G, the voice memos won't sync to my iTunes library.
    The "Sync voice memos" box is checked and older voice memos from April and before synced in the past.
    Now there's just a Voice Memos folder under my iPhone Tab and the new voice memos won't appear in my iTunes Library at all.
    I want to convert them to Mp3 but that option is grayed out under the iPhone Voice Memos folder.
    Is this just a bug? I recently bought a new computer running Windows 7, so I'm wondering if this is a common issue with iTunes?
    Any suggestions?

    Even though this topic is considered answered, my Voice Memos weren't syncing and the software update didn't fix it. So, I did this:
    1) I backed up and synced my ipod
    2) deleted the voice memos playlist in iTunes (my playlist was empty already)
    3) deselected "include voice memos" under the Music tab
    4) clicked "Apply"
    5) when sync was done, shut down iTunes
    6) disconnected and reconnected iPhone and restarted iTunes
    7) reselected "include voice memos" under the Music tab
    8) clicked "Apply"
    A new Voice Memo playlist was created with my voice memos in iTunes.
    It's possible you can skip the step of deleting the playlist. I was just trying everything I could think of to get it going again. Maybe you can skip the whole first half and just shut down iTunes and reconnect device and sync again! So try and let us all know.
    I think what was happening - and why it will work for some to upgrade their software - was because I had an iPod Touch with 3.1 syncing memos to iTunes before. Maybe the iPhone with ios 4 couldn't sync to the folder already created?

  • Voice memo won't sync to iTunes, won't play on ipod!

    After successfully recording several lessons and syncing them to my laptop, my most recent voice memo did not get copied over to iTunes as usual when syncing. On closer examination, the particular voice memo will not play on the iPod, although in the iPod list of voice memos it appears as a normal voice memo, i.e., with the right time stamp and of appropriate length.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    I had same problem with my ipodtouch 5g on ios 6. i synced all of the voice memos but two of them wont sync for some reason.i called apple and was on phone for hour and half but they cound solv it. i used and idea and recorded the memos on my laptop with an aux cable and it worked out fine. it is also very easy for windows and mac.
    *************************** I THINK APPLE NEEDS TO REMOVE RESTRICTION OF THEIR SOFTWARE OR THEY NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HELP THEIR COUSTMER. FROM NOW ON I WILL USE MY ANDROID PHONE TO RECORD AUDIO SO IT EASY FOR ME TO TRANSFER IN MY COMPUTER. SORRY APPLE U DON'T OFFER FREEDOM TO YOUR COUSTMER.**************************************

  • One of my voice memos won't sync to iTunes

  • Trouble getting all voice memo's to transfer to iTunes.

    I have an iPhone 3, and have recently started to have trouble saving voice memos into iTunes. 
    I record myself practicing playing music, so the clips are usually 3 min but can be up to 10-15.  In the past I've had 25 min recordings transfer just fine, so this is a mystery.
    When I plug iPhone into my laptop, it egins syncing in iTunes and some voice memoes will transfer but not all.  The ones that wont, are also split - some will play on the phone & some wont.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

  • Voice memos won't transfer from iPhone 4 to iPhone 6

    I just got a new iPhone 6 for Christmas, coming from an iPhone 4 (running iOS 6.1). I backed up my iPhone 4 one last time before plugging in my new iPhone, and everything synced over perfectly except for my voice memos.
    I have a tremendous amount of voice memos, over 11 hours worth of small snippets. As it is one of the most my most used apps, this lack of sync is very upsetting to me. Is there anyway I can transfer over my wealth of voice memos to my new phone, specifically within the Voice Memos app?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    I'm also facing the same issue but my phone is iphone 5. I did back it up one more time before I plug my new iPhone 6. Voice memo didn't get transferrd. In addition my music was also missed.
    can we restore these some how. Unfortunately I already wiped out my old phone before I check if everything got transferred
    this never happened before!

  • Voice memos do not transfer to PC

    Hello everyone:
    I have been reading a lot about this subject in Apple Support Communities.
    But I haven't found any answer that works for me.
    I have some voice memos in my iPhone 4. Every time I sync the iPhoen with my computer (PC) the voice memos transfer to the iTunes playlist and I find them in the iTunes Media folder (on the Voice memo folder) also.
    But if I move them or change the name of them, the Voice memo never syncs again.
    The problem that I have is that I lost one voice memo in my computer, maybe I accidentally erase it from the computer. I wasn't worried until I have benn trying to sync again and to transfer it AGAIN from the iPhone but the voice memo won't transfer.
    So, it is stuck on my iPhone.
    Is more than 1 hour long and so I can't send it via e-mail. I have tried: erase it from the iTunes playlist, changed the label on the iPhone voice memo app, closing all the apps before sync, everything. I even download a software DiskAid but it only let me transfer 3 voice memos. What if this happens again and is more than 3 voice memos?
    Anyone can help me?
    Thanks!!

    Thnaks justbeinghelpful.
    What do you mean by "use Iexplorer or another 3rd party software like easeus mobisaver or wondershare dr fone"? I have iexplorer but what do I have to do??
    I'm sorry but don't know how to proceed.
    thanks!

  • Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    Help! I've deleted my voice memos playlist on iTunes. How do I transfer my voice memos on my iPhone to iTunes for a second time?

    You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
    Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

  • How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone to iTunes?

    How do I transfer voice memos from my iPhone5 to iTunes?

    In the Sync settings area of iTunes when the phone is connected, you check the Music area, and check off Voice Memos too. I'm not sure right now what the exact verbiage is but it is where you check off what music you want to sync.

  • Transfer large voice memos after deleting them from iTunes

    I cannot for the life of me figure out how to transfer large voice memos to my computer from my iPhone.
    I synced my phone without changing the names of the voice memos--- so they were in iTunes in a random order and it just confused me. I deleted them in iTunes and renamed them in my voice memos..... now I can't download them with the correct name! I can't find how to get them back off the iPhone into my iTunes or even to my desktop to burn onto a CD. ???????
    I cannot email them or message them because they are large files. I've tried to email them and it states that an email has been sent (there was an email sent sound) but nothing ever shows up in my email account.
    All I want to do is put my newly titled voice memos into a folder on my desktop.
    PLEASE help! I wish this was easier to do!

    i feel your pain
    this is so infuriating
    it's great little app, and so easy to record audio on the fly.
    BUT then absolutely impossible to easily transfer them to my desktop.

  • IOS 5 and voice memos won't sync

    Hi,
    so, like everyone else, I update to iOS 5 and now my voice memo won't sync.  I would like to NOT have to delete them to restore as they have all my lectures from school on it.  But, if I have to restore, is there anyway of backing it up before restoring? or is there another solution to my problem??  is there anyway of reverting back to the old iOS? 
    ANY help would be very appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I'm also having issues with voice memos. I have an iPhone 3GS and the memos sync to iTunes ok, but won't transfer to my iPad 1 running iOS 5. They are shown in iTunes as being on the iPad, but the 'sync' icon remains to the left of the file and they are never actually copied across. I've posted on several sites but have had no replied.

  • IPhone (4) Voice Memos not Syncing to New iTunes 10.0

    I'm currently on an iPhone 4 (4.0.1 firmware) and I've been experiencing issues getting my voice memos to sync to my iTunes library.
    The last time this worked was August 27, 2010 which added 3 voice memos to my iTunes library successfully. Since then, I have not yet updated my firmware but have installed the new iTunes 10.0. I have 8 new voice memo recordings on my phone since the last successful sync, and I've tried syncing my phone four times today, Sept. 4, (restarting iTunes and my iPhone) with no luck. I tried recording a new voice memo to see if iTunes 10 would recognize any memos recorded after the installation but that failed as well.
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    I've always had the "Include Voice Memos" option selected. I think that only pertains to syncing voice memos from iTunes to the iPhone after it has been copied to iTunes. It has to be the new OS/iTunes not communicating that new memos have been recorded. For some reason they won't sync when I want them to, and then a few syncs later they magically appear.
    By the way, I'm VERY comfortable with the iTunes and iPhone systems. I've been using iTunes for 5 years, and I've been recording class lectures with the iPhone voice memo app (and another app) for a couple years. It's not an error of not seeing that the memos were added; they don't exist in my library or music folders.
    JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, POST WHICH FIRMWARE YOU ARE RUNNING EXACTLY!!!
    I'm on an iPhone 4, running firmware 4.0.1
