Why doesn't deleting Voice Memos in iTunes delete them on my iPod Touch

hi. i synch my ipod touch with itunes and all my newly recorded voice memos come to my library in the voice memo playlist. according to the ipod touch manual i go and delete the unnecessary voice memos in my library and typically they are deleted from the voice memo playlist. when i synch my ipod i expect the deleted voice memos are also deleted from my ipod touch but it doesn't. this is very annoying for me because i am visually impaired and deleting and managing voice memos in my library and synching them with my ipod is much much easier for me rather than deleting them using the device. any idea?
thanks

The Users Guide says:
"However, if you delete a voice memo from
iTunes, it is deleted from iPod touch the next time you sync with iTunes. "
- Are you saying the Voice Memos are still on the iPod after you sync?
If yest see if resetting the iPod will correct the problem.  Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to restore from backup followed by restoring to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Voice memos in iTunes not being added to iPod

    The Apple store told me to get rid of a bug on my iPod to set it up as a new iPod and not restore it from a backup since it was most likely a software issue and not hardware (music was skipping randomly even when not on shake to shuffle).  Everything is fine now except that I cannot get my old voice memos back on my iPod Touch4G.  They are in iTunes and before I sync I makes sure the "include voice memos" is checked, but it still does not work.  Any suggestions on how to get these back on my iPod?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the help!

  • Voice memos are not recorded properly on my Ipod touch. It records voice memos but I cannot hear them.Please Help.

    I record class lectures but for the last couple of days I have been unable to hear the recordings. The sound is practically nonexistent. Perhaps it is a problem with the speakers but  I am unable to determine a problem.

    When you recored the memo did you get a good signal on the VU meter?
    Try using headphone to rule out a speaker problem.

  • Why can I not get to the iTunes store or sync my iPod Touch?

    I am not able to sync my iPod or go to the iTunes store at all. I have turned off my firewall and my anti-virus and still can't do either. So it is obviously a problem with iTunes does anyone have any ideas for me to try? I am just frustrated that this won't work because its the program I use the most.

    Looks like there's a general problem across the US and UK at Apple's end. I've not been able to connect since this morning and there are loads of threads on here about the same issue.

  • Why doesn't my EarPods with 3.5 mm work with my iPod touch and my MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPod touch 4g and a Macbook Pro that i bought on October of 2013. I have an EarPod 3.5mm but it won't work witht these items. Should it work? Should it not work? You can hear sounds but they are unclear or you cannot hear them at all if you listen to them.

    If you have another device that uses headphones try it with that. If they don't work get them replaced or buy some good headphones.
    You are welcome.

  • Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi how do i delete voice memos from my iPhone 4 after I have synched them with iTunes?

    Hi James thanks so much for your reply
    What I was trying to do though was to mass delete the voice memos from the phone, and I was told that one can do that via iTunes. Problem is that when I do open iTunes, I am not able to locate a TAB thats says ON THIS IPHONE
    I was told that one could click on this and then select multiple Voice Memos and delete this way.
    Thanks again for your assistance

  • HT1766 4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    4 voice memos in iTunes backup from iPhone had ! marks and would not play so I deleted them and although they are still on the iPhone, they will not sync back to iTunes from iPhone.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • 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.

  • Voice memos in itunes

    My voice memos in itunes are grayed out and won't let me play them. There is also a syn icon that appears next to the number of the memo. I tried syncing my phone but it doesn't do anything and the voice memos were deleted from my phone as well after I synced the first time. I really need to fix this ASAP! Please help!!

    No. After waiting over two hours on the phone with apple support, they told me the voice memos were somehow currupt and there's no way to get them back.

  • Syncing Voice Memos to iTunes - Workaround

    Not everyone can sync their voice memos to iTunes, and no one really knows why (or cares).  Here is a workaround.
    Part One - Email the Voice Memo to Yourself
    1. Select the voice memos application.
    2. Select the voice memos list (button in lower right hand corner).
    3. Highlight/Select the voice memo to send.
    4. Select the blue Share button (lower left corner).
    5. Select the gray Email button.
    6. Address the email to yourself and select the Send button (upper right hand corner).
    Part Two - Save the Voice Memo to Your Computer
    This part varies for everyone.  I am going to assume you know how to save files from your email to your computer.
    Part Three - Add the Voice Memo to iTunes
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. Select: File / Add File to Library.  Choose the voice memo you downloaded to your computer. Click Open.
    Note: the music file will be saved as an 'Unknown Album / Unknown Artist'.
    3. Right-click on the file, choose Get Info.  Choose the Options tab.
    4. Change the Media Kind to Voice Memo (the Media Kind should automatically add a check mark).  Click OK.
    5. Double-click to re-open the file.
    6. Right-click on the name, choose Get Info.  Choose the Info tab.
    Note: You now have a chance to re-name the file anything you want.
    7. Use the Name field to re-name your memo.
    Part Four - Add a Voice Memo Playlist.
    1. Select: File / New Smart Playlist...
    2. Click on Artist and choose Media Kind from the drop-down list.
    3. Click on Music and choose Voice Memo from the drop-down list. Click OK.
    You can now use Voice Memos and iTunes as promised in the Users Guide.

    UPDATE - Apparently large files cannot be mailed out.  So far I can verify that a 27 minute memo cannot be mailed.

  • Voice memos to Itunes manually?

    I have an iPhone 3G and I can't seem to get my voice memos onto iTunes manually. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks!

    Yes, you can! You need an app on your Mac called Phone View. Download it, check the "show all files" option(or words to that effect) in prefs, and look under voice memos. Be careful not to delete any iphone system files, but if you follow the instructions you will easily see a section for voice memos. Drag the relevant .mov (this seems to contain the sound data) onto the desktop and then into itunes.
    Quick, wireless, and no sync required. I did this for one voice memo of a conference that got stuck on the phone, i.e., it wouldn't sync in itunes, and it also wouldn't play from with the voice memo app on my phone.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone 4 Won't Sync Voice Memos to iTunes

    I cannot get my voice memos on my iPhone to sync to iTunes for the life of me.... I have at least 10 and everytime I hit the sync button it goes through the process but never puts them into my library.  I even have the check mark checked.  I read that trimming the voice memos can help, but that didn't work for me. Also tried reorganizing library and deleted voice memo playlist, but I am struggling on this one.  Any ideas would be most helpful.  I feel like there is a bug with the app or something.

    I'm having the exact same problem. IPhone 4, ITunes 10.6
