How do I add a folder to the library into the smart playlist called "recently added"?

Hello Apple users! I really miss the old version of I-tunes that allowed you to manually add files and folders from your hard drive directly into individually created I-tunes playlists with nothing more than copy and paste. I don't mind that the new version requires some additional steps, like having to go through "add file/folder to library" onto a temporary "recently added" sub-master list, from which I could then transfer them to the sub-folder playlist categories afterwards...except that I can't! The I-Tunes Playlist window does not have a "recently added" category already there, so I have to manually create one ("new smart playlist"), and then create a set of "rules" to then have a writeable clean slate onto which each new "add file to library" could go...This works only for the first folder I add, but then after I copy them to their sub-folder destinations, I can't delete them to make room for the next batch, nor does the next batch even go in...I've then tried deleting the current "recently added" smart list and creating another, (with a new set of rules) , and then tried adding the next group using "add files to library", only to have the original batch come back up again and the new batch not...Apparently, I can add all the files and folders I want, but they only go to one place, which is the main master list under "library" and they all get mixed in together and are virtually impossible to find!
     I have about 20 playlist folders on my C drive under "My Music"...How do I get them onto I-tunes anywhere except scrambled in random order?

Boca Babe,
Just add them to your iTunes library, and then sort as you wish.
Don't try to add things directly to Recently Added.  Recently Added will pick songs up automatically, e.g., all songs whose "Date Added" is in the last X weeks.
If you would like to add files or folders of songs directly to a playlist, create a regular playlist, not a smart playlist.  Then open it and drag the files/folders into it.  They will be added immediately to that playlist, and to your library if they are not already in it.

  • VBA: How do I add a shortcut to an email into the body of an appointment

    Dear all,
    I want to write a macro for outlook that lets me do the following:
    1. Move a selected email to a specific folder (with selection box)
    2. create an appointment in a non default calendar with the same subject as the email
    3. Put a link into the appointment body that links to the email (similar to the option that Outlook gives you when you drag an email onto the calender: "Copy Here as Appointment with Shortcut")
    Unfortunately step 3 (creating the link to the email) can not be recreated unsing QuickSteps. Therefore I have to solve this with VBA.
    Here is the code I came up with so far:
    Sub Mail2Appt()
    ' Moves each of the selected items on the screen to a selected folder.
    Dim olApp As New Outlook.Application
    Dim olExp As Outlook.Explorer
    Dim olSel As Outlook.Selection
    Dim olNameSpace As Outlook.NameSpace
    Dim olDestFolder As Outlook.Folder
    Dim intItem As Integer
    Set olExp = olApp.ActiveExplorer
    Set olSel = olExp.Selection
    Set olNameSpace = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    '1. Handle the movement of the selected emails
    'Display form to pick destination Folder
    Set olDestFolder = olNameSpace.PickFolder
    'To do: folder type validation
    If TypeName(olDestFolder) <> "Nothing" Then
    'Debug.Print vbCr & " olDestFolder: " & olDestFolder
    Else
    'Debug.Print vbCr & "Cancel"
    Exit Sub
    End If
    'Move selection to new folder
    For intItem = 1 To olSel.Count
    olSel.Item(intItem).Move olDestFolder
    Next intItem
    '2. Create appointment in To-Do-Calendar
    Dim myCalItem As Outlook.AppointmentItem
    Dim myToDoCalendar As Outlook.Folder
    'get non-default calender
    Set myToDoCalendar = Session.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderCalendar).Parent.Folders("Aufgaben-Kalender")
    For intItem = 1 To olSel.Count
    Set myCalItem = myToDoCalendar.Items.Add(olAppointmentItem)
    myCalItem.Subject = olSel.Item(intItem).Subject
    myCalItem.Location = "Office"
    myCalItem.Duration = 30
    '3. Place link to email in appointment body
    myCalItem.Body = "Hello World" 'Link to Email must go here
    myCalItem.Display
    Next intItem
    End Sub
    It would be great if somebody could push me in the right direction.
    Cheers,
    Sascha

    To Edit the body you need to invoke the WordEditor Inspector. You can then program the body as if you were programming in Word itself e.g.
    Add these declarations
    Dim olInsp As Inspector
    Dim wdDoc As Object
    Dim oRng As Object
    Dim strLink As String
    Then substitute your own link
    With myCalItem
    .Subject = olSel.Item(intItem).Subject
    .Location = "Office"
    .Duration = 30
    '3. Place link to email in appointment body
    Set olInsp = .GetInspector
    Set wdDoc = olInsp.WordEditor
    Set oRng = wdDoc.Range(0, 0)
    .Display
    oRng.Text = "Hello World " 'Link to Email must go here
    oRng.collapse 0
    strLink = "https://www.fedex.com/fedextrack/?tracknumbers="
    wdDoc.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=oRng, _
    Address:=strLink, _
    SubAddress:="", _
    ScreenTip:="", _
    TextToDisplay:="Fedex Tracking Site"
    End With

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

Press and hold on the folder you want and it will then turn into a movable item you can drag to your desktop.

  • How can I add a folder of music to my library?

    How can I add a folder of music to my library?

    I am mystified as to what drag and drop folder into iTunes 11 means.  My music is in a folder in "My Documents"/Windows 7. I can copy and paste the individual folders of music within the back up folder, and drop them into the music folder in iTunes.  But, this is ridiculous.  It was easy and promoted user enjoyment to have the ability to add folders from wherever on your computer, into the iTunes library. Why did Apple reduce the users enjoyment, by flubbing up a pretty good music file system?
    Work around?

    You can drag them in from the Finder. I think you will have to drag one photo at a time, but you can experiment.
    If you put into iPhoto, you can place them in an album and drag the album in all at once.

  • How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

    How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

    Click at bottom of the first page:
    Menu > Insert > Section break
    Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
    Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
    Click into the header or footer of the second page:
    Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
    If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
    If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.
