Deleted the "recently added" playlist.  How do I recover it without re-inst

I accidentally deleted the "recently added" list and can't see the option in a smart playlist to "remake" it. Is there a way to recover without re-installing iTunes? thanks for any feedback

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"

    The "recently added" playlist can simply be recreated by using a smart playlist with the following criteria: "Date added is after". You pick the time frame, for instance the past month, past 2 weeks, etc.

  • 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.

  • Someone Deleted my Recently Added Playlist, How do I get it back?

    Someone else who was using my computer accidently deleted my recently added playlist. How do I get it back? I've already updated to the newest version of ITunes, but I still don't have it.

    File -> New smart playlist.
    Match rule;
    Date added is in last 2 weeks (or whatever you want).

  • 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*

  • By mistake i deleted the "recently added" playlist

    How do I get it back?
    I love that thing for organising everything when I have bought new albums

    This is just a smart playlist and you can make a new one.
    File>>New smart playlist
    Mine is as follows:
    Match following rule – unchecked
    Limit to checked
    Limit to 25 items selected by most recently added
    Live updating checked.
    But you could have something like
    Match following rule checked
    Date added is in the last 2 weeks
    Limit to unchecked
    Live updating checked

  • Deleted recently added playlist how do i add back to playlist and make destination playlist for imports

    i deleted recently added playlist and want to add back, and make it destination for imported songs how do i do

    Howdy Mark,
    The Recently Added playlist is a Smart Album that has specific settings to automatically add new content to that playlist. It can be recreated manually if accidentally deleted, you can use this article named Archived - iTunes: How to create a Smart Playlist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1801.
    Choose File > New Smart Playlist.
    To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure to select "Match the following rule," then make your selections from the pop-up menus.
    For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
    To add additional matching criteria, click the Add + button.
    Here are the parameters to use when you create the new Smart Album:
    1. Check the box that says Match the Following rule:
    2. Change the first set of criteria to Date Added, In the Last, 2, weeks.
    3. Add another line for criteria by clicking the + button
    4. The second set of criteria should be as follows. Media Kind, is not, podcast.
    5. Uncheck Limit To, and Match only checked items, and check Live Updating.
    That when that is done you will have a new smart playlist that you can rename to Recently Added by double clicking the smart album name.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • How do I delete the recently added songs "List is getting to large

    I am unable to find ,how to delete the "RECENTLY Added" songs after having  moved them to the various ctegories I selected

    The Recently Added playlists in iTunes is a Smart Playlist.  So in order to remove songs from this list you need to either wait until the song is no longer qualified to be listed in the Smart Playlist (more on that in a minute) or you need to adjust the rules out the Smart Playlist accordingly.
    Either way though, this playlist hardly takes up any available hard drive space as it is just a list of pointers to your actual song files and not duplicate entries or anything of the sort that would be eating up significant amounts of drive space.
    If you'd like, you can edit the rules out this Smart Playlist in iTunes to contain a smaller set of tracks or change the Date Added rule to only keep songs from a smaller time frame to help reduce the size of this playlist.  To do this, right->click on the Recently Added playlist and select Edit Smart Playlist. A new window show pop up.
    In this window, you can the Date Added rule so that it contains tracks that were added in the past X (X being a number of your choice) number of days, weeks, or months.  You can also enable the Limit to X (X again being a number of your choice) rule to contain a smaller or larger number of items, GBs, MBs, hours, or minutes. To enable it, simply place a tick mark next to the rule.
    When you are finished editing the playlist, click the OK button. If you did make any changes, the list should update dynamically immediately and will continue to do so as time goes on.

  • How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

    How do I clear the 'recently added' playlist?

    It isn't set up that way.  It is a smart playlist (right click on it to see details) which uses the "date added is last two weeks" command.  You would have to change the date added on the tracks it contains to be older than two weeks, or do some other modification to the smart playlist such as only have it display items that had not been played at all.  I don't know if there is an easy way to do that unless it is in Dougscripts.
