Have lost my playlist "recently added"

Not sure how, but I seemed to have lost the playlist "recently Added" from my left hand side playlists, which was always very useful to me. Any ideas how to get it back?
Thanks

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.
Check the box "Live Updating"

I have accidently deleted my recently added folder, how do i get it back

I have accidently deleted my Recently Added folder in my iTunes. How d o I get it back. I wanted to delete the contence of the folder and ended up deleting the entire folder.
Any help would be great. I have itunes on my laptop.

Choose New Smart Playlist from the File menu and create a new smart playlist which lists items added in the last 2 weeks, excludes podcasts, and is live updated.

Playlist "Recently Added" is up to down

The playlist "recently added" appears on my iphone 4S up to down (the last song added is at the end of the playlist instead of being the first, as it was before), while on my mac everything is normal, as usual. What can I do to to solve that problem?

You probably have to do it with a "tap" instead of a click on the iPhone, but on the Mac, you "toggle" the sort order by clicking:
Descending (Newest to oldest)
and ascending (Oldest to newest)

Has the playlist 'recently added' been removed?

The playlist 'recently added' has disappeared. I was just wondering if this was part of new iTunes or not?
It used to be really handy - especially on iPod/ipad

The link to the service has been removed from the knowledge base. The chat is no longer available due to scaling back.
I am sorry for the inconvenience and I if you have any other questions we will do our best to help.

Re-formatted laptop - have lost the playlists

I got my laptop re-formatted, cleaned up, etc. I got the tech to copy my itunes library then put it back on the newly re-formatted laptop. I have all of my library of tracks but I seem to have lost my playlists. Can anyone advise if i can get my playlists back ? Other info:
- I have a back up but I'm not sure if i have the playlist file .... i might've just copied the library to the backup. What's the name of the playlist file and which folder will it be in ?
- my itouch has all my playlists on it. So ..... i can re-create them on the laptop one by one but that'll be a pain in the ***. Is there anyway to electronically get the playlists off the itouch and onto the laptop ? I thought it always synched the other way around ..... ie the computer will overwrite the itouch and I'll lose all my playlists the minute I synch it. If that WILL happen, can you let me know ....... then I WON'T synch it but instead will recreate the playlists one by one ?
Sorry for being a moron .....

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

At first I also thought this to be a bug with Match an smart playlists. When I first activated Match on my iPhone the 'recently added' playlist (which holds about 200 songs on my MacBook Pro) was vompletely empty on the phone. But - After buying some music and downloading some additional songs from the cloud - it was slowly beginning to fill up with this newly added music.
So I guess Apple has quietly made smart playlists device-sensitive. 'recently added' actually means 'recently added in the specific device you are using to view this playlist'. In fact this would just be a logic step. But it would be great if Apple had documented this change of behaviour and would give us the option to make playlists device-relative or cloud-relative.

Help, I have just restored my iphone from last back up to retrieve vital messages that somehow disappeared. Now I have lost the most recent messages, calendar details and photos. How do I get them back?

I have an iPhone 5S

You restore from the backup that contained them.
Restoring from a backup is all or nothing. It completely overwrites the data in the phone when you restore. You can not combine the contents of a backup with what's currently on your phone.

I have lost all playlists, how do I recover originals. I attempted the troubleshoot fix of using the Smart Playlist, but I did not utilize a smart playlist.

Does NOTES have a limit?. I have lost my most recent notes

Does notes have a limit? I have lost my most recent notes. I do not have enough storage in cloud any more and having a hard time getting iTunes on my computer

Go to System Preferences (under the Apple logo in the menu bar). Choose "iCloud" there.

In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug. I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

I seemed to have lost my playlists. where could I find them

I downloaded the latest version and have now lost the playlists for two ipods.

If these playlists are no longer in iTunes, on either of the two iPods, or in a backup of iTunes somewhere, then I'm afraid you are out luck. Were you connecting these iPods to a new/empty iTunes library or did you connect it to the same iTunes library they normally sync with?
Have you tried looking for these missing files via Windows Explorer (PC) or the Finder (Mac).

Smart Playlist - Recently Added Not Working As Expected

I am attempting to modify my Smart Play list for Recently Added so Videos are not included in the list. I added additional Criteria filtering out Video Kinds that are not "Movies" and "TV Shows". I have indicated that all criteria must be met and have limited the list to 250 selected by Random, though removing this option does not correct the problem. I have also tried removing "match only checked" and "live updates" to no avail.
What are my other options if I can not use "Video Kind" as my filter?
Message was edited by: Jason Golden

I've gotten good results filtering out my movie content just using this:
+Kind does not contain Quicktime+
+Kind does not contain MPEG-4+
...and to get rid of the booklets that come with some iTunes albums:
+Kind does not contain PDF+

Video Podcasts Only Listed Under Video Playlist Recently Added

I downloaded Flight of the Conchords video podcasts (awesome show), but they only appear under the recently added menu not under the Video Podcast Menu. Any ideas?
The playback is great, but its a bit of a hassle to go to the recently added list.
Gracias!

So when you go under Videos, Video Podcasts, it's not there?
Since you downloaded it from iTunes, I wouldn't expect it to act this way. (Podcasts from other sources are often tagged improperly and won't land in the correct folder.)
You could check the tags on it and see if anything looks odd. You might try downloading another video podcast to see how it behaves. It could just be something's not quite right with this one.
Other options are to tell iTunes not to sync it, then sync it back onto the iPod. If all else fails, you may need to Restore the iPod and then resync everthing back onto it.

Smart Playlist "recently added" issues

Hey, I added a new smart playlist on my ipod touch and instead of adding the most recent 50 songs i've put on my ipod, it put 50 random songs on. Pretty much all All Time Low and Goo Goo Dolls... but yea, if anyone has a fix, it'd be really nice! thanks

Of course it's possible, but you'd have to find something to keep the songs seperated - otherwise the two playlists would just contain the same songs, if you know what I mean.
Hope this helps.

Iphone 4 Smart Playlist Recently Added

I have a smartplaylist. It's setup, the only problem I have is that on my iPhone, the last added songs are at the bottom, and I want the newest song added at the top, is there a way to do that?
