Voice memo manifest.plist

Hello -

I have a Voice Memo that was recorded on 9/1/2014. When I press Play on my phone, the button changes briefly to a Pause button, then reverts to a Play button - and nothing happens. In iTunes on my Mac, I am able to play the audio.

The problem has been that I am unable to send the file from the phone - with Airdrop, it simply says, "Failed." Using the demo version of iExplorer, I was able to access the folder in which other Voice Memos are stored. Those that can be played back have an .m4a file present, however, this one only has a manifest.plist file, as shown in the attached picture.

SOLUTION: I have just discovered that I can right-click the file in iTunes and select "Show in Finder." Now the m4a file can be shared with others!
