How do i get my "recently added" playlist back on my phone?

When i synced my iphone 4 last night the playlist disappeared but it is still on my computer! I have synced twice since and no joy! Any thoughts? Also i have not touched any settings on the laptop!

Have you got it so it;
'matches the following rule'
Last Played> is in the last> 2 weeks
Also have you ticked;
'live updating'
Just play around and i'm sure it'll work . It took me a month or two but once i finally sat down i figured it out
Hope it helps.

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.

In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist

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"

How can I get the 'recent pages' feature back in the navigation toolbar Firefox 4.x?

I use Firefox 3.6.17, Dutch version. At home i've updated to firefox 4. But I miss in this version one of the nicest features (i think): In the navigation toolbar on the left side (in version 3.x), you can browse back and forward and also there is a small arrow that shows the pages that you have visited (I don’t know the name in English, but in Dutch it is called recente pagina’s, literally translated recent pages). In version 4.x this little arrow has disappeared.
How can I get it back in version 4.x?

Click-hold the unified Back / Forward button, or right-click it to get the Back / Forward history for that tab.
Or install this extension to get the old "drop-marker" button restored. <br />

I deleted the recently added playlist in iTunes...how do i get it back?

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.

How can I get my Recently Added back to how it was before I reset? Also, is there any way to sort a playlist by the numbering (i.e. 1, 2, 3)?

Basically, I reset my computer (not rebooted; reset, as in wiped it clean) and backed up all my music. After putting the songs back onto my iPhone, the playlists like My Top Rated and Recently Played were empty, of course. For Recently Added, all of my songs were in there. I imported my playlists and most were back to normal. However, the first 13 songs in my Recently Added were the same as before I reset my computer, which I found really odd, so I figured that they were sorted somehow for that to happen--they had to be. The rest of the songs were all of my other songs.
Anyways, I can't find a way to get my Recently Added to just have those 13 songs and it's really irritating me. Is there a way??? Yes, I've tried limiting to 13 items. I've also tried sorting by name, and the "most recently/least recently added" options didn't work either. How can I sort it by numbering, as in the actual numbers next to the Artist name???
Also, notice how the first 13 songs are sorted by Name and after those songs, the rest are sorted by Artist Name. So, I'm thinking this issue is fixable. It's peeving me!

A smart playlist like "Recently Added" is based on the date that a track is added to your library. Since you erased your computer and re-built your library from scratch, all your tracks are considered "recently added" because iTunes assigned a new date to each song as it was re-added to your library.
Instead of re-building your library from scratch, and re-importing certain playlists you had saved, it might've been better to have simply recovered your "iTunes Library.itl" file. That is the index that points to where all your song files are, and contains all your playlists, and has properties such as ratings, last played date, and date added. As long as the native files for your songs are in the same place, you could re-use your "iTunes Library.itl" file if you saved a copy before you erased your computer (always back that file up along with your native files, the .itl file IS your library).
As far as why the Recently Added playlist starts with 13 particular songs, then proceeds with the rest of all your songs in alphabetic order, it is possible that either you (or iTunes) started adding the songs back with the 13 most recent songs you had previously added to your library before it was erased, and once those were added then things proceeded by artist in alphabetical order. Not sure, but there's really nothing you can do about that other than replace your .itl file with the original version if you still have it somewhere.

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 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...

How do I extend the lifetime of the Recently Added playlist?

When songs are downloaded into iTunes they appear in the "Recently Added" playlist for a while. After an unknown (by me at least) period of time, they disappear. Can I adjust the period of time, say to three, six, nine or twelve months, whare the songs would still appear in the "Recently Added" playlist?

Control-click the playlist, choose Edit Playlist, and change the Date Added cutoff.

I accidently erased the recently added playlist

I accidently erased the recently added playlist from my itunes how do I get it back on there so I know what was just adde because I have like over 3000 songs on there and dont know whats new

All you need to do is create a new Smart Playlist (File>New Smartplaylist). Make the criteria Date add is in the last: and then pick a time frame that makes sense for you. If you add music often, you might want it to be in the last week, for example. Then make sure that Live Updating is checked.
Once you hit ok, the name of the playlist will be highlighted in the source pane. It will be called "untitled playlist". Change it to Recently Added (or whatever you want).
Welcome to the world of smart playlists!

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.

Connect your phone to computer, and sync like this. Check the boxes for the playlists, artists, albums you want to sync. Then click Apply. If you have enough space on your phone, you can choose Entire music library.
