Trying to sync voice memos I get "was not copied to the iphone because it could not be found"

I recorded some "voice memos" on my iPhone 5 (iOS 6.1.3). I now just want to get them onto my computer. I have followed the instruction from other posts and selected the "Include Voice Memo" checkbox and also the "Voice Memo Genre" checkbox located on the Music tab. I then click on Sync and get the following error ... "Some of the items in the iTunes library, including ----- were not copied to the iPhone because they could not be found". So I understand that the memos were not copied to the phone ... this is good since I already have then on the phone. I want, instead for them to be copied FROM the phone to the computer. So what's the problem I thought that SYNC'ing meant copying new files from the iPhone to the computer as well as vice versa.

 

The Voice Memo is toolarge for me to simply email to myself so I need to understand what is causing this so that I can get around it. I have noticed that when I attempt to "Organize Library" and check "Consolidate Files" (suggested by some forum somewhere) when I close the dialog box and sync again, that when I return to the "Consolidate Files" checkbox i see that has actually cleared itself and is no longer checked. I am not sure if this is related or not.

 

I have a very business recording that is on my iPhone and MUST get this audio off the phone ASAP. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sincerely,

gstenstrom

Dropped iPhone 5 in water, trying to restore now "error 1603"

On Wednesday night I was on the toilet playing on my phone. After I was done my phone slipped out of my hands and in to the toilet. I quickly grapped it out of the toilet before the toilet flushed it down and immediately started drying it off. Now I was a little bit drunk that night so I wasn't completely in my right mind. I started to elevate it and lay it on a towel. I also knew from before that rice would help with drying it off. Not knowing at the time it had to be uncooked, I cooked a bag of rice for about 8 min and drained as much water from the rice as possible and let my phone sit in it for about 10 min. Well then I learned it had to be uncooked. So I put the phone in uncooked rice after it sat in the cooked rice for about 5-10min. I let the phone sit in a bowl of uncooked rice for the whole night and the next day at about 12, I took it out and tried turning it on. It thankfully came on, but needed to be charged, so I charged it via the wall for about 15-20 min. After checking it I saw that the apple logo was being displayed so I let it stay like that for about a couple minutes. Seeing nothing else was happening I started pushing the power and home button down at the same time to restart it. That did not work either and soon I was getting the message to plug into iTunes, which I did. Once I plugged it into itunes I put it into recovery mode to restore. That was working just fine. It started to extract the software, verified the restore with Apple, and started to prepare it for restore. Well after 1-2 minutes of preparing i got an error message saying iTunes could not restore it because of error 1603. I looked up this error and it says something is wrong with my windows operating system. I disconnected all USB drives, closed everything down, and restarted my laptop. I tried restoring again and the same error message came up again. So I decided to let the phone sit in rice again for about 24hrs. Now I have tried to restore it about 6 times now and keep getting the same error message. I have also recently taken out the SIM card and tried restoring it but the same error message and the same point in the restore process. Anyone have any tips? I have looked into taking it to Apple, but my only option would be to buy a refurbished iphone. I wouldn't mind doing that, but I don't want to spend a lot. I originally purchased the 64gb white iPhone 5 from Apple and am not sure if they charge more for the 64gb model.

Trying to find why items entered on calendar on the iPhone do not sync onto the calendar on my Mac. Items entered on the Mac do sync to the iPhone calendar.

Have checked settings on the iPhone and Mac and can find nothing to change.  The problem existed with my iPad Touch, so I guess that the problem is with a setting on the Mac.  Any recommendations?

iTunes keeps trying to restore my new iPhone5

I just bought an iphone5 today. Prior to buying it, I backed up my iPhone4 to iTunes so I could easily set up my phone. After buying the 5, I connected it to my MacBook Pro and let it "restore from previous version" (the one I created earlier this afternoon). However, after going through the full restore/setup process, this new version of itunes (which I'm not in love with by the way) still isn't recognizing my iPhone5 as being updated. It keeps asking me if I want to restore my iPhone from the previous version I did this afternoon. But when I unlock my iPhone5, I can see that the "restore" was managed correctly as my wallpaper and lock screen have the pictures from my old iphone and my mailboxes and texts synced as well.

 

It'd also be helpful if someone could tell me how to drag and drop music to my iphone in the new itunes. I had over 1000 songs on my iphone4, and I have to start from scratch all over again @_@.
