Q: voice memos not showing up in itunes

well that's really nice, I've tried everything even that and got about 50% of it back. What's funny is when I connect the phone to a 3rd party software like '3herosoft iphone to computer transfer' and look at voice memos it says all my files are there, are 186 of them, it names them, writes their duration and ammount of space they take up but when I go to transfer them it transfers it all but 50% of it is full files, other have 0kb. I am beggining to go mad here since still, STILL, apple hasn't responded. Those ******* ********, you'd think after all the **** talk they have about having the customer being number one and their products being ************* perfect I am amazed at this kind of behaviour. I am not the only one, there have been people here since 2 years ago and that faulty program is still being issued without notice to people who are going to use it and lose their work. Apple, WTMF ??!!?!?!?!? RESPOOOOOOOOND, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ARE YOU THERE, HELLOOOOOOOO?!?!?!?!

Heres what I found works for some strange reason

1. open Itunes as per usual
2. Highlight the chosen voice memo
3. Drag the files from itunes window to desktop
4. Rename the file
5. Drag it back to itunes

Hope this helps

Had this problem since IOS6 update.

Did as instructed by Sophia B. no change

Then in iPhone Voice Memo took 2 seconds off front of Memo.

Synced and it appeared in iTunes just like it should

Same problem here with voice memos recorded in iphone 4s -- unable to play them on "music" app on phone although they show up on a playlist in itunes and it has been synch to the phone -- no vm's appear on phone in "music" app. Pathetic apple.

I did just got this problem fixed, but at first I was unclear what people were talking about.  I found the VMs under playlist section in iTunes on the PC after synch.  I did make sure to "synch music" selcted under the "music" tab on my phone. I just synch manually and selected "include voice memos" check box (plus i also synch the new playlist I created below which I placed my VMs in). 

I right clicked  on each VM and changed the "media kind" to music on the options tab after selecting "get info" from the iTunes playlist "Voice Memos" -- however, this step is not necessary i later found out (the next step does it for you).  Then I right clicked the memos and choose "create mp3 version". That's where I got stuck.  I had to go to my library/music and find the "Voice Memo" folder under albums. There I saw the AAC and now MP3 versions of the same voice memo. I deleted the AAC duplicate version.  Then I created a new Playlist in iTunes. I copied these MP3 files to that playlist and synched.  Simple issue that involves too much work around. I used iphone 4s with 6.01 OS iTunes 10.7.  Good luck

Nothing worked until I installed a demo of iExplorer, transferred my voice memo files and now they are safely on my computer I can do the synching commands suggested without risking losing my data.

This all started when I upgraded to iOS6 and iTunes on my mac decided it was a completely new phone.

Thank you Lukasri.

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I had spent 2 days trying to make it work and your advise did it in 5 minutes. Thanks!

This one worked for me, thanks!!

This is not good Apple! I have a G3 iphone and for years my uploads of voice memos to a mini were just fine - found all secure in itunes perfectly. Now, with macbook pro and newest itunes , it's madness. I can't figure this out and all the posts from people with similiar issues just scare me. HELP!!!! Where's my voice memo playlist?Can't find it. Where are my voice memos...? yipes apple, what did you guys DO???? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My voice notes are WORK for me. This is bad.

Same problem here. 2 out of 3 memos are syncing but the 3rd will not.

Hi,

Not working, can;t change media kind?? any trick?

Thanks

same here

This didn't work for me. What does changing the category have to do with anything?

this seems to be a lot of extra work for a device that cost too much $$$ to have to be this troublesome to use.

Yup, that's why so many people are ******* ****** that it happened. I haven't used that piece of **** for a long time now and don't consider doing it ever again. Download blue fire, it works ok but has a bug when you transfer files over wireless to computer it shortens the names but at least it stores what was ******* recorded unlike this piece of apple ****.
