“I’m a song lover. I had recorded several songs sung by myself with my iPad and prepared to use some of them as my iPhone 4 ringtones. Then I synced them with my iPhone using iTunes, but by mistake, I deleted the voice memo files both in my iPad and iPhone 4. I want them back, how can I recover deleted voice memos?”
