    Thank you for taking the time to reply to me and help me out unfortunately that method did not work I cannot believe I went to Apple asked for their assistance and they said that my file was corrupted that the file was too large and they cannot remove it extracted from my iPhone so therefore it was trash... I could not even going to edit the file or trim it it showed that the file was there for 56 minutes but when I was going to view it would not allow me to trim something that he couldn't recognize the weirdest thing.. There's Apple for you!! Ugh!!

    My ipod touch 5 (latest 5) doesnt sync all memos, just some of them, random dates, random size, i can see it doesnt sync a 5min memo, and 18 min memo, BUT i synced a 2min, another 5min, and also synced a 32, 34 and more than 1hour memo........

    I think ill try to force to remove backup and REbackup again..... dont know if thats possible.

    I also found many other bugs with ITunes.

    Apple is better than many other big companies for that kind of problem.

    But still, its just good, not perfect AT ALL.

     

    Reminds me of Windows, they work on Windows 10, but Windows 95 still has bugs.............

     

    BOOOOOHHHHH !

    Since No response from Apple "Genius" Support

     

    This is how I solved the problem

    1.Download application call iExplorer onto your MAC or PC

    2.Connect iphone to your computer and launch iExplorer

    3.On the lower left corner click "continue with demo"

    4.Now it shows your iphone. Click "Files"

    5.Click on "Media Folder"

    6.Look for and click "Recording"

    7.All voice memos will be there. Simply just drag and drop on your laptop or computer

    Now I have all my memos onto my computer :-) Hope this helps

    I updated iTunes and found that my voice memos would only show up if I played the files with on my phone while connected to the computer.

    THIS WORKED FOR ME!

     

    1. With Windows Vista and iTunes 11.1.4
    2. Connect iPhone
    3. Click on you iPhone found under the search bar.
    4. Click on Summary scroll to the bottom
    5. Under Options select Manually manage music and video (NOTE only if it's unchecked otherwise go to step 7)
    6. Click Apply
    7. Click on "On This Phone"
    8. Select all your voice memos (Warning, you may want to try this for one first to make sure it works for you)
    9. Right Click to Get Info
    10. Click Yes for the edit information dialog
    11. Change Genre to Other and click on OK
    12. Click on Music
    13. Select Sync Music with Selected Playlist and Include Voice Memos as checked
    14. Click Apply
    15. You Voice Memos should now all have synced to your "voice memos" playlist under music.
    16. Once they are in your library you can set the Genre to Voice Memo again by select - Get Info (Right Click Mouse)

     

    Let ppl know if this helped you.

    Yes I solved it with iExplorer. I had 140 voice memos that Apple couldn't recognize but iExplorer could. Apparently Apple needs to purchase third party software so someone who knows what they are doing can help them solve issues that have been around since 2010.

     

    1. Download iExplorer

    2. Do not drag it to applications

    3. Open iExplorer run as demo
    4. Go to Media Library and all your voice memos should be there.

     

    It will allow you to do 10 at a time. Then close the program and repeat the steps. Took me only like 10 minutes. No way I was going to trim every single voicemail by 1 second that is just stupid crazy. That would take me like 8 hours.

    I just changed the genre of the file and then it synced over.

     

    1. Connect your iphone to your computer

    2. Let itunes perform a sync of your phone

    3. Go to the phone details and go to "On this iPhone" (on the right side)

    4. On the left side choose the Voice Memos playlist

    5. After you locate your memo, right-click on it and choose "Get Info"

    6. Click on the Info tab and change the Genre at the bottom (I changed it from Voice Memo to Other)

    7. Perform a sync to move the voice memo over to itunes

     

    Note: I did notice an extra copy of the voice memo showing in the list on my iPhone. This only appeared in itunes however. It may just be a ghost image, not sure what impact it will have on things later.

    I solved this problem by working around Apple.

     

    Went to iPhone and emailed the voice memos to my email, opened them, saved them to computer, and saved them to iTunes Library.

    Trimming the file and saving it as a new copy worked for me.

    Yep... This is quite aggravating that this forum post even exists. Regardless, I found that snipping (creating a copy) of the files worked. I downloaded no extra software. Get it together Apple.

    Hi,

     

    I'm also having this problem. Have upgraded to ios8 and still will not transfer memos. I have clicked the transfer voice memos box under music etc.... It seems that emailing the file is the only way to get them off. Any other tips?

     

    This ***** APPLE!

    As I understood the problem iTunes doesn't sync the voice memos if all of them were created before the iTunes library was created. Probably this is why all this trimming and renaming things worked. I personally just unplugged the iPhone, recorded the new voice memo, connected and synced it again, and with this new record iTunes detected the old ones as well and finally successfully synced them all.
