Adding Playlists in NMM Question

Since I have added some playlists to my NMM would I be able to delete the file thats in the main after I add it to my playlist?
For instance i have Playlist1 and SongX is already there, so would I be able to delete SongX from the main E61i tab in NMM or would that kill that sound and make it invalid since its root is gone

I had the same question. Someone answered perfectly here https://discussions.apple.com/message/20575126#20575126
The answer was click View > Show sidebar. Devices and playlists will display in the left sidebar once again.

Recently added playlist...simple question ?? Hopefully :)

My cat sat on my laptop & somehow deleted my *recently added* playlist on my itunes. It's not a huge deal, but I like seeing what I have just added to my library so I know what is or is not in other playlists...is there any way to retrieve this? I'm thinking it's a simple fix I just don't know :/ Thanks!

That's just a standard smart playlist and easily recreated. Create a new Smart Playlist with the following:
Match the rule "Date Added" > "is in the last" > "1"> "Days"
You can make the days and the interval to suit yourself; you can have days, weeks or months.

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.

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.

Itunes not syncing "newly added playlist" on my iphone 5!

I am running IOS 7.0.4 (11B554a) on my iphone5 16Gb, modem firmware 5.02.00. i have latest iTunes (V. 11.2.2.3).
Well, as usual i add new songs to my iTunes library, which also show up in 'newly added' playlist in iTunes. So over syncing, it should also be visible in my iPhone in the 'newly added' playlist on my phone, BUT it does not appear in the playlist, HOWEVER, the song does sync and appears in the normal songs list. It is annoying... it never occurred to my previous iPhone.
> I tried unsyncing my whole music library and synced it again but of no avail.
So any suggestion or solution?? will be highly appreciated! Thanks!

Problems Syncing Playlists & Songs in iTunes with Computer & Apple Devices
I've seen variations of this question on the Apple community boards and I myself have struggled with this for months now and I believe I have a solution, at least for what seems to be one of the problems.
If you have purchased a subscription of iTunes Match, then all of your data is filtered through the glorious cloud. ALL computers and devises involved in syncing data must have iTunes Match enabled for syncing to replicate.
This solved my particular issue within 2.1 seconds.
1) On your computer open iTunes. Go to the menu item 'Store' and click on 'Turn on iTunes Match'.
2) On your iPhone open 'Settings', 'iTunes & App Store', click to turn on 'iTunes Match'.
3) For good measure, restart your computer and iPhone (probably not necessary but I did).
Hopefully that helps if not, I hear Google has some type of phone gadget..

Deleted recently added playlist

I accidentally deleted the recently added playlist from my computer version of itunes. when i sync with my ipod, will the list be replaced automatically? second question, can i see my account at itunes store to see what songs i most recently downloaded? thanks so much for your help.

The defaults playlist 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.
Check the box "Live Updating". When you are done connect your iPod and sync to add the new playlist.

Recently added playlist doesn't reset or update

As the question asks ,
my recently added playlist never changes
cheers
matt

I'm also having the same problem. After I import new tracks into iTunes. They are not showing up in my Recently Added playlist. I checked the smart playlist settings and it is set to Live Updating. I have to quit iTunes and relaunch before the new tracks will show up. Clearly a bug. I've submitted a bug report on their feedback site.
It's not a problem with the settings of the smart playlist. I have never changed the settings of the playlist, and it only stopped updating with iTunes 10. And quitting and restarting makes the new tracks show up.

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.

HT5731 I have an iPhone 4S and when I sync it, the "purchased" and "recently added" playlists do not show up on my phone.

I have an iPhone 4S and when I sync it, the "purchased" and "recently added" playlists do not show up on my phone. For some reason I can't get all the playlists I have set up in iTunes to show up on my phone.

I accidently deleted my "recently added" playlist. how do I get it back?

I'm very new to itunes and having trouble getting the hang of it.
I was trying to clean up some playlist files and was attempting to delete songs I didn't want or need. I hit shift-delete and all of sudden EVERYTHING disappeared. the songs I had purchased... stuff I had recently uploaded... everything.
I went to the recycle bin and hit "restore" in the hopes that things would come back, but no luck.
I was able to search my computer and get the songs I needed back, but it was quite frustrating. in addition, one of the things that disappeared that I wasn't able to retrieve was the "recently added" playlist, which was actually quite helpful to me.
I attempted to upload a new CD to see if it would recreate the "recently added" list, but no luck.
how do I get that back and make sure that future uploads are automatically saved to that playlist?
thanks in advance for any help.

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.

Imported CD does not show in Library, but it does show in Recently Added playlist

Imported a CD but it does not appear in the Library, althouhg it does show in the Recently Added playlist

I seen a few references to things like this in the forum over the past couple of months but no real solutions. Maybe it's a small bug affecting a few lucky people, but obviously not widespread or we'd see tons of posts.
I suggest using the right+click reveal in Finder command to reveal the actual files. Delete the entries in iTunes without deleting the actual files, then add the files again by dragging them to iTunes. Let us know if this works because I'm sure others would like to know.
If it doesn't work, I wonder if there is some characteristic like somethng in the labels that is causing iTunes to not enter these in the library.
Another thing you could try first is restarting iTunes and see if it's just a matter of it not properly refreshing its listing.

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 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.

Do NOT want Podcasts in "Recently Added" Playlist

Is there anyway possible to make it so Podcasts (voice AND video) are not placed into the "Recently Added" Playlist? I frequent this playlist for new music, but don't want to have to listen to the flip over a podcast everytime.

I had the opposite problem - after creating an iTunes account, podcasts disappeared from the Recently Added playlist. I listen to quite a few and subscribe to many, so having all the new episodes in one place was pretty useful.
By using the suggestion (in reverse) in your solution, the playlist's behavior was restored to its previous (desirable) state.
Thanks!

I just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music listing alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. plz help

i just bought and downloaded an album. the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens. i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.
