Voice memo crashing on iphone & sync session failing
I have an iphone 4 and use the voice memo app to record my lectures.
The voice memo app worked yesterday because I recorded a lecture friday afternoon and I exited the app fine...
But when I tried opening the voice memo app on my phone today, it opens, then 2 seconds later quits by itself and takes me back to the home screen.
Then I tried to sync my iphone to my itunes as I usually do to transfer my lectures to my itunes library (I have macbook pro mountain lion os x). But now when I click sync, it says that the sync session failed to start.
I tried pretty much all standard troubleshoot options: restarting phone, restarting computer, restarting itunes (itunes up to date), deleting backup on iphone from itunes preferences.
I really don't want to have to restore to factory setting... do I have other options to try to fix this? And how is the whole voice memo crashing & sync failing related? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
