Voice Memos Issues After IOS 8 Upgrade

Mine disappeared too. The ones I recorded after the upgrade will not sync with iTunes. The rest of the sync process works, I just can't get the voice memos in my phone to the iTunes playlist. The files are too large to email so I'm stuck.

Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

iPhone 5, iOS 8

Same here. After upgrade, when I connect to PC (Windows), all the media previously backed up under Voice Memos playlist is not available on the disk anymore and I see very few voice memos physically present on iPhone5. I had more than 100 voice memos and now I see only 27 on iPhone.

I have the same issue 😟 Where are my voice memos??... Also completely gone from ITunes... 😟

Iphone 5, iOS 8

Thanks for your help!

I'm missing 3 months of memo's here - and also my general backups from those months has dissapared from iTunes?! I too have the problem of not being able to sync new memos - first it did, now it's gone again?????? 😟

Please help me restore this data Apple! Thanx

I upgraded from a 4s to a 5s and the voice memos were listed but could not get to them. This was after initial set-up and restore from iCloud. After upgrading to iOS 8 they are all missing now. No idea how to recover them.

Same thing for me and this is awful because theyre all song ideas lost in the wind ***

The funny part is, I did open a trouble ticket with Apple Care and the initial answer is they have not received any such query so far on iOS 8 upgrade loosing voice memos. They pointed me to link from some post suggesting to use iExplore which did not show any missing memos from the backup.

I also started noticing randomly other information missing such as shortcuts from Keyboard settings etc. Not sure what more I will loose. My brother copies voice memos physically before doing any updates (wise thing that I missed on and trusted too much on upgrade an iTunes)

I'm right there with you. I had a bunch of Voice Memos of song ideas too. I upgraded to iOS 8 last night, and when I went to record something today, no other memos were there. Uggggh.

I am in the boat; they aren't in my phone, and I can't find them in iTunes either.

However, I was able to locate them on my hd in the iTunes folder, from the last time I synced. So all is not lost; hopefully that's the same for everyone else's song ideas too.

I have the same problem too.2 problems so far, after upgraded to IOS8. The voice memo app is not stable, sometime it can't be open at all or it will automatically stop in the mid of recording. Second, seem like iTunes do not sync all the voice memo into it. I have more than 20 voice memos recorded but always (tried many times), it only sync 4 of them. Not due to recording length, these 4 are one of the lengthiest among all, more than an hour. But other with 20mins, does not even sync into ITunes.

Hope Apple able to solve this ASAP.

having similar problems here! Recorded a bunch of friends bands at a festival yesterday for them (5) and none of them show up on my computer?

luckily four of the recordings are small enough to email, but one isn't and it's one long track so can't even split it up! Hope it's not stuck on my phone forever!

anyone (Apple employees, or otherwise got any suggestions) never had a problem with this before!

im guessing it's a software upgrade issue, either that or its u2's fault, it's probably u2's fault!!!

Oddly I just noticed a TON of my voice memos were added to iTunes out of nowhere. I browse songs by clicking date added and check the recent stuff I added at the top. See if this happened to you?

I was able to recover my voice memos, though the original titles are gone.

I opened my Voice Memos app like everyone else and I saw each memo quickly deleting and acting glitchy. I then connected my iPhone to my macbook so I could attempt to restore the backup I had made before the ios8 update. It said it couldn't be done because there wasn't enough room. However, when I opened my memos app again, the voice recordings were there! I can't verify if it's all of them but I'm grateful I was able to recover some.

I use this app to record lyrics on the go and I'd really like Apple to step up and fix this.

I had this same issue after upgrading to IOs 8 on my iphone 5. I was able to rescue the files by using a free software called ifunbox, and saved the files into iTunes, and I can now sync them with my iphone, although these files no longer appear on voice memo, and you have to listen to them via the music player.
