Hello — I sincerely sympathize as I was challenged by this same issue.

I found a much simpler solution, however. You can simply “SEND” the Voice Memo sound files from the Treo’s Voice Memo application to your Mac via email or Bluetooth. These show up as .AMR Files on the Mac (which Quicktime can play.)

I usually convert these .AMR files to MP3s using a Shareware application called “Switch” for use on my iPod.

Simple!

[Thanks for the helpful comment. Anyone else find that worked for them? I still can't get Quicktime to play the .amr files.]

I am having the same trouble getting the vpad files recovered from my treo. I don’t have a mac so I don’t know how to follow your instructions. But I did find a program that will convert the AMR to Wave. I don’t know if it will work on a Mac but look for Miksoft Mobile AMR Converter. I had to download Version 1.4 and then apply the 1.5 update since the actual 1.5 downloads seemed to have a file missing or something. Anyway, I hope this works for you.

[Thanks for you detailing your experiences. I hope this helps someone else. --Kristofer.]
