Sync voice memos for the first time I recorded a long and important voice-memo on my old iPhone which is not synced anymore to any iTunes. I wanted to retrieve the memo using the advice here, however choosing Sync Music in iTunes brought up this warning:



I tried to click Sync Music and the capacity bar at the bottom indeed indicated that all music, and presumably the voice memos too, would be deleted next time I sync the iPhone (the blue Audio bar was completely gone). I immediately reverted.

How can I retrieve the voice memos?

The other options in the question linked above include:


DropVox - which costs money and forces me to have a DropBox account
Macroplant iExplorer - which is a freeware that doesn't work for me
Try this way of syncing. You can also manually update songs if you don't want to lose songs.

Another option would be to email them to yourself.
