How do I transfer large voice memos from iPhone to my computer?

I have a fiarly large file that is from a lecture series that I wish to download on my computer. How do I locate and transfer this file in Windows? I have already tried the 'Include Voice Memos' option and do not get to see the Voice Memo Playlists in iTunes. Also, since this file is over 3hrs long in duration, there is no way that this can be mailed without loosing a considerable portion of it.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1

Wow. This was the ONLY solution that made sense.

I also synced my voice memos and they never showed up in iTunes.

Only by doing the search did I find that they were in fact transferred but iTunes never caught it.

Thanks for the super simply fix to this!


Is this a bug? Is it me or is Apple *seriously* losing its quality control? I'm at the point where with all these bugs and issues I have no desire whatsoever to get the newest apple products or updates. I'm just staying with Apple because currently, it's easier to stay than to switch.


I hope Apple reads the forums


Thanks for the tip Psiffi!!!!

Same problems here. I have recent voice memos that I can't see in the voice memos list. Size doesn't seem to be an issue since I have older (from 2011) memos that are over an hour long, and they show up on the list. But newer stuff, whether it's a few seconds or 45 minutes, doesn't show up in iTunes at all. I can't see them these newer memos on iTunes Devices area, which should show me every voice memo that's on my phone.User uploaded file

I have some December 2011 memos and two 2012 voice memos that don't show up.

How do I transfer large voice memos from iPhone to my computer?
