How to Import Voice Memos to iTunes

Last Updated: November 23, 2020

This wikiHow will teach you how to import voice memos to iTunes without using iCloud. If you have two Apple devices signed into the same iCloud account, voice memos will automatically be synced between them and you can skip this method as both devices will have access to the same voice memos. However, if your Apple devices are connected to iCloud, make sure voice memos are enabled in Settings(System Preferences) > iCloud > Voice Memos.

Steps

1
Open iTunes. If you have macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierra, then your computer most likely came with iTunes installed. If you have a Windows computer, you can install iTunes at https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210384.
- If you have macOS Catalina, this method is unnecessary if both your Mac and iPhone are signed into the same iCloud account and have Voice Memos enabled.^{[1]
