Q: how do i get voice memos from the phone to my Mac

Thanks, Linc. I have tried this to no avail.

I thought perhaps I had seen the problem when I found and checked a box for "Sync voice memos" under "Music" when looking at the iPhone itself from the iTunes window. This made no apparent difference in the subsequent sync, done to the local computer.

I thought perhaps it had to do with size, as the file i'm after (oops, do we still call them files?) is about an hour & 20 min long. BUT I have another of a similar length that I've somehow gotten over in the past, tho I don't know how. Maybe it will catch up in a few days when slack has accumulated?

Thanks very much, Linc. I'll check these out!

Well, shucky darn, Linc, no end of trouble.

To whit: this article unfortunately (but understandably) references a past version of iTunes and so references iTunes menus no longer available. Sigh.

However, it also advises synching and then looking under Voice Memos in iTunes to see if they came across. Wellllll, I tried to do this, but as soon as I click on the Music icon in iTunes, i get a helpful message that says "The iPhone (mine) is synced with another iTunes library on "Genius Bar RA". Do you want to erase this iPhone and synch with this iTunes library?" Gosh, thanks for asking, but actually, NO! This is actually the opposite of what I am trying to achieve, but I don't see anyway to force a reverse.

As far as I know, "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library." Well, I don't know why I'm currently synched with a Genius Bar (sub)genius*, but I'm pretty sure that erasing this iPhone will not move my Voice Memos to the computer. Eh?

*Likely has to do with that cracked screen replacement last month, but i'm almost positive I've synched (or thought I did!) several times since then. Sigh. Again.
