"Recently added" playlist on iPod Touch problem

I don't know what happened but suddenly my recently added playlist on iPod Touch stopped sorting my songs as they were added (by date) they are all random now. It's pretty annoying since sometimes i just want to listen the the previously imported songs and it's impossible to find them.
Now, as for the recently added playlist on my iTunes,they appear sorted the way i like them.
Does anyone know how can I tell my iPod to sort my songs this way?
Thanks

This is a known bug with the 3.1.x OS. As a workaround, either go into the playlist definition and un-check "Live Updating", or you can add some criteria that intentionally breaks Live Updating (e.g. add the criteria "Playlist Is Music", where "Music" is the general iTunes folder for music items).

  • Recently added playlist in ipod/hebrew language

    Hey.
    Why won't you do a 'recently added' playlist in ipod as we have in itunes?
    it can be very helpful!
    also, why ipod classic doesn't support hebrew language?
    Thanks.

    Nobody here can tell you why some feature you want isn't available, but you can ask Apple to add it via

  • Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist

    Imported music from a CD does add to library, stays in Recently Added playlist.

    Having the same problem. Album imported on CD won´t appear in my music on Itunes! It´s in the Itunes files and in the Recently Added folder, but it won´t appear!
    I can play it from the outside file! So frustrating.

  • How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?, How do I create a 'Recently added' playlist on the ipod that only adds the new songs that I add to my library?

    I'm trying to recreate the 'Recently Added' playlist that featured in the old ipods (4th gen.?) where it stored the songs you've just added to the ipod and each time you plugged it in it would replace the songs in that list with the new ones you've just added. The 'Smart playlist' at the moment doesn't replace existing songs with new ones except by manual overide. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    Best suggestion: Buy some external USB or Firewire drives. Move your Library to one, back it up to another. A lot more reliable than DVD, a lot less work and much more convenient. For a start, you don't have to break up the library...

  • Recently Added Playlist having problems?

    Couple of weeks ago my music in the 'Recently Added' playlist listed each track in the order they were added to the library. Now all the tracks in the playlist are all over the place, despite the fact that it is a smart playlist. How can i solve this problem? Is there an alternative method instead of adding the date added column in the playlist? I would appreciate it if anyone could help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Click at the top of the Date Added column, and the list will sort by Date Added.
    The column where you see a triangle is the one it is currently sorted by.

  • Recently added playlist problem???

    I have 2 questions concerning the 5th generation iPod
    1. Why don't I have a recently added playlist as a default playlist in my iPod? The older and newer iPods have it???
    2. Is there any way to copy all of the music from my iPod into my iTunes and for thesongs to remain there after I disconnect my iPod?
    Thanks!

    1.) The iPod will mirror any playlists that you have in iTunes, so if you don't have a "Recently Added" playlist on your iPod, then you probably don't have one on iTunes. Go into iTunes and go to File -> New Smart Playlist (on PC)
    From there you have a few choices.
    -You can make a condition "Date Added is in the last x <unit>" to have a playlist which shows anything added in that specific time frame
    OR
    -Check limit to x items selected by most recently added. This will show for example, your 20 or 30 or whatever you put newest items on the list.
    In either case, make sure you also check Live Updating.
    2.) By using only Apple's official method with iTunes, the only items you can transfer from your iPod BACK to your iTunes, are purchased items. When plugging your iPod into a computer which DOESNT have those purchased items, it will ask if you want to send a copy to the computer.
    You really can't officially move ALL songs from your iPod to iTunes, unless you use some 3rd-Party Software.

  • I fixed my recently added playlist syncing problem

    Ever since the iOS 7 upgrade on my iPhone 5, my recently added playlist would not sync properly.  It would be accurate in iTunes (latest version) but not on my iPhone.  After trying some of the suggestions I found on this forum without luck, I started messing around with it myself.  The way I got it to work was to first power down everything.  After a reboot, I launched the music app on my phone.  I selected the artist catagory and played a song completely until the album was completed (you could fast forward the song till the end).  I left the app on the artist page and closed it in the background (double tap home button, swiped app).  I then launched iTunes and connected the phone with a USB cable.  After syncing, I went into my recently added playlist on the phone and it was up to date!
    It seems that in my case if I left the app in the playlists screen, it wouldn't sync.  The app remembers the last screen you had open since the last close, so it automatically reopens in that screen.  I hope this helps anyone having the same problem.  Good luck!

    Hi,
    It's just a Smart Playlist, so make a new Smart Playlist called "Recently Added". Set the rule to "Date Added is in the last two weeks" and make sure both "Match the following rule" and "Live updating" are checked. That's the same as the default "Recently Added" playlist...

  • Recently Added Playlist Problems

    through my own stupidity, i deleted the "Recently Added" playlist from itunes. i found this quite useful, particularly with the size of my itunes library and files not always being tagged properly.
    any ideas on how to get that back? doesn't come back when i update itunes.....perhaps a complete uninstall/reinstall?
    thanks in advance for any advice or ideas....

    Reinstall not necessary. This is simply a smart playlist which you can re-build using the following criteria: "date added is in the last" & you pick the time frame, for example 2 weeks.

  • "Most Recently Added" Playlist syncing issue

    I add music to my iTunes library pretty slowly, so I created this smart playlist to replace the default Recently Added playlist:
    http://www.cubeupload.com/files/45a800smartplaylist.png
    In iTunes, this shows me the the 90 most recent Music items I added to my library. On my iPod Touch 2nd Gen, however, it shows me a seemingly random list of songs in my library which were synced to the iPod.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Corey,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    The conditions for your Smart Playlist are specific to the following:
    iTunes will pick "90" items, with the parameter of *"most recently added"* - the "most recently added" condition is based of date, too my knowledge it does not encompass time though. - So, if you added more than 200 items and they all share the same date, then iTunes will choose 90 of those 200 items randomly.
    Other than that, there may be a metadata error in your files which is causing this issue.
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • IPhone shuffles custom playlist, but iPod touch does not.

         I have an iPhone 3GS and an 2G iPod touch and I have a custom Smart Playlist full of music from the 1980’s and was wondering why my playlist on my iPod touch appears just as it does in iTunes but on my iPhone it is all shuffled?
    However, I look at the playlist on the phone in iTunes and it appears as it does in the list and if there was a way during the sync I can tell iTunes or the phone to put the music in the order that it is on the playlist in iTunes?
    Are there AppleScripts available for iTunes that do what I want or will I just have to deal with it? This is really frustrating because I want the phone to mirror the playlist as it is not shuffle it.
    What is going on?

    If you have it set to sync (not manual), the +Recently Added+ playlist is one of the playlists you have set to sync (on the +Music tab+), and the missing podcasts are on the iPod, that's about all I can think of asking.
    You may want to try doing a Restore to erase and initialize the iPod touch.

  • Smart Playlists on Ipod Touch 4g

    Hi everyone,
    I have been reading several posts about the ordeal that users are living with SP on the ipod touch.
    I have recently bought a new Ipod touch 64GB 4G, and the playlist that I use to listen to musing normally is completely broken and would not update as it does on the Ipod classic that I own.
    I have seen that a SP that refers to another SP, or even limiting the number of songs seems to nullify the Auto Update feature.
    I was wondering if someone managed to find a solution, or if the latest Itunes (10.1) managed to solve problems.
    Thanks a lot for the help, this issue is seriously worsening my Ipod experience...

    noone can help on this issue? Sorry to bump the message, but it's really annoying what is happening to the newer Ipods (the Classic auto updates when the playlist is finished at least), the 4g touch keeps the same songs...

  • Delete songs from iTunes library from "recently added" playlist

    can you please add a function that removes songs from both the entire library and the recently added playlist by simply right clicking a song while in the "Recently Added" playlist that has the "Delete" function. this is very simple and would make iTunes that much more user friendly.
    thanks!
    i have no idea where else to submit suggestions like this, apple people aren't user-friendly enough.

    can you please add a function that removes songs from both the entire library and the recently added playlist by simply right clicking a song while in the "Recently Added" playlist that has the "Delete" function
    We are only other users, such as yourself.
    You can send suggestions to Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Press *Shift Delete* to delete songs from a playlist and also from the library.
    (from your signature block)
    pc, duh
    Not really "duh". I have a pc and it is a Macintosh.
    The idea is to put correct info in your signature to help with problems you may be having As an example, if you had problems with your iTunes library disappearing and your signature showed "Sony Vaio", immediately we would know the Sony media software is the problem.
    why do you care
    So we don't have to ask when you post a question.

  • Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

    Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
    I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1.  Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method.  All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
    My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over.  After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen.  The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library.  I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck.  Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
    I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out.  When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it.  I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items.  Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists?  Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple?  Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library.  I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
    Thanks very much --

  • Hello. I have recently bought a new iPod Touch 4G, however my iMac says, whenever I try to sync my music or update it that this device isn't eligible. How can I fix this?

    Try authorize this computer in the store menu in Itunes.  This worked for me. It seems that this is an account problem on iTunes.

  • "Recently added" playlist no longer capturing podcasts

    Within the last 10 days, after downloading the newest version of iTunes to my Nano, I found that my "recently added" playlist contained only music tracks. Until the new download, the "recently added" music playlist HAD contained both music and podcasts. Because I do a lot of Nano listening while driving, this was real useful. Before starting the car, I could call up the "recently added" playlist and listen to the freshly added podasts, in order, without having to pick up the Nano and click-click-clisk after listening to each new podcast. What can I do to restore the Nano's old setting that captured podcasts in the "recently added" music playlist? The motoring public and I will thank you.

    Problem solved, or rather dissapeared.
    Went on my phone and closed music down. When I reopened it everything was correctly sorted.
    Go figure.
