Hi people
Voice Memos syncing to my Mac via iTunes works, except for the following frustrating issues.
[I'm using an iPhone 4 16G with iOS 7.1.2, and an old MacBook with OS 10.6.8.]
1) Rename sync issue
After a voice memo has been synced,
if I rename it on either the phone or in iTunes on the Mac,
then the next time I sync, the new name is NOT synced to the computer.
Result: I end up with the same Voice Memo on both devices, but with a different name on each.
Desired result: To have exactly the same on both my Phone and Mac.
2) Trim sync issue
After a voice memo has been synced,
if I 'Trim the original version' on the phone
then the next time I sync, the trim is not truly 'synced' to the computer.
Instead, the old voice memo remains on the computer and the trimmed voice memo is added to itunes on the computer as an additional NEW voice memo.
Result: I have only the trimmed version on my phone, but I have 2 versions on my Mac, each using the same name.
Desired result: To have just the trimmed version on both my Phone and Mac. The old version is not needed on either device.
Any ideas folks?
Here are step by step instructions to see if you have the same problems
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Create three test memos on your phone; 'Test 1'; 'Test 2'; 'Test 3' (make 'Test 3' 10 seconds long).
- Sync them to iTunes on your computer
- On your phone, rename 'Test 1' as 'Test 1 - renamed on phone'
- In iTunes on your computer, rename 'Test 2' as 'Test 2 - renamed on computer'
- On your phone trim 'Test 3' to 5 seconds. Be sure to select 'trim original version'.
- Now Sync
My results:
On Phone (3 memos):
Test 1 - renamed on phone
Test 2
Test 3 [5 seconds long]
On computer (4 memos):
Test 1
Test 2 - renamed on computer
Test 3 [10 seconds long]
Test 3 [5 seconds long]
Do the rest of you get this result too?
This is playing havoc with all the Voice Memo editing I do on my phone.
Is there a solution?
Many thanks in advance
