Accidentally erased my "Recently Added" folder

How do I get this folder back? Its one of the preset folders with the purple icons in iTunes. I had tried to clear the folder, and it deleted it. Also, how do you clear the songs from the folder? Thanks.

You can recreate the "Recently Added" playlist by going to File>New Smart Playlist.
Check "Match following rules"
Put "Date Added" "Is in the Last" "1" "month" hit the Plus
"podcast" "Is False"
Check both "Live Update" and "Match Only checked songs"
To clear songs just rightclick the song in the playlist and hit clear

  • Recently Added folder gone?

    I accidentally deleted the Recently Added folder. How do I get it back? Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the entire iTunes program?
    ibook G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    It's just a smart playlist.
    To re-create it:
    Create a new Smart Playlist (File menu).
    Set the rule: Date Added - is in the last - 2 weeks
    These are the default settings; you can change them if you like.
    Check 'live updating'.
    Hope this helps.

  • Recently Added folder lost.

    The 'Recently Added' folder has been accidentally deleted... Can I retrieve this folder? Ive tried reinstalling Itunes 7.

    g_fUnk,
    The recently added list is a smart playlist.
    Go to File-> Add New Smart Playlist
    Recently added is configured as "Date added" "is in the last" "2" "weeks" for the smart playlist selection rules by default.
    Make sure live updating is checked.
    Thank you,

  • How you make recend uploads appear in the recently added folder

    When adding to itunes library, how do you make the selections appear in the recently added folder.  The folder was deleted but rebuilt.

    It is a mixed playlist and finally I came up with an answer; it might sound strange but I woke up from a nap with all correct settings figured out.
    This is what I did:
    I had to specify a subset for every podcast or I would end up with every episode available on my library which in turn would reach the limit I set but that's OK. I noticed though, that podcast won't sync to iTunes Match, which is a bummer, but still they sync over Wi-Fi. This is what I got finally:
    Thanks for all your help!

  • I accidentally deleted my recently added playlist. How do i get it back?

    I accidentally deleted my recently added playlist. How do i get it back?

    The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
    Recently Added:
    Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
    Also check the box "Live Updating"

  • I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" playlist from my iTunes Library

    I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" file that comes as one of the standard files with the iTunes program. I have been unable to get it back and sure would like this file as it is easier to trace new additions. Anyone know how I can do this? I tried just adding a new file but it does not recognize new additions.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    To recreate the default *Recently Added* smart playlist:
    Click *File > New Smart Playlist...*
    Click the + symbol to the right hand side
    The first line should now read:
    Match all of the following rules
    Change the next two lines to read
    *Date Added is in the last 2 weeks*
    *Media Kind is not Podcast*
    There should also be a tick against *Live updating*
    Click OK and set the playlist name to *Recently Added*

  • In iTunes I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist.  How do I get it back?

    I was trying to clean up my playlists in iTunes and in doing so accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist.  I really want it back so I can see what I have recently added when I download or open things in iTunes.  Is there any way to get this wheel back?

    Forget question.  Just saw solution elsewhere on this site.

  • I accidentally deleted my Recently Added playlist

    Hi all! I accidentally deleted my Recently Added playlist. I made a new one with the smart playlist thing but I cannot get any new songs to automatically add to it. Does anyone know how to get songs to automatically add to it? I'm devastated without this playlist. It was my favorite. Thank you so much!

    Any idea why the recently added list is set to 2 weeks? I would rather have had it set indefinately, so it always shows the last say 100 tracks. I seem to be abel to edit it to 100 tracks and set a date of 'in the last 12 months', but the date settings seems reluctant to accept an wild card asterisk.
    No major worries...

  • I cannot access the recently added folder in Instagram on my iPad.  Any ideas why?

    when trying to access photos  on my iPad in Instagram I can access my shared photo streams but not the recently added folder and the photos taken on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Hello wintergreenchip,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get your Photo Stream working correctly.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.
    If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • How do I add "recently added" folder back to my itunes?

    How do I add "recently added" folder back to my itunes on my  Mac book Pro?

    Hi.
    "Recently Added" is just a Smart Playlist.  You can recreate it by clicking File from the menubar, then New Smart Playlist.  Mine is still set to the iTunes default condiitons which are to match all of the rules, Date Added in the last 2 weeks, Media Kind is not a Podcast, and Live Updating, but you can play with rules however you'd like.
    Good Luck
