HT1711 My recently added list isn't updating. What's wrong?

The Recently added list is not updating on my iPhone 4s? What is wrong with it and how can I fix it??

Highlight the Recently Added playlist. Go to the File Menu. Select Edit Smart Playlist. Make sure that Live updating is checked. You can change the Date Added to whatever makes sense to you. If you add a lot of music everyday, you might only want it to be set to 2 or three days. If you only add music occasionally, you might want it set to some longer interval. Hit OK.

I lost my recently added list

I deleted my recently added playlist subheading
Now when I add a new track I have to find it through my songs which can be a pain as I forget which tracks I ve recently downloaded
Does anybody know how to recreate the 'recently added' list

Does anybody know how to recreate the 'recently added' list
It is pretty easy.
Click File > New Smart Playlist...
When the dialog comes up, enter a single rule "Date Added" "is in the last" "2" "weeks."
Check "Live Updating."
Click OK, and you're almost done...
That new playlist will now show in your left hand pane with a name something like "untitled playlist." Click it once and give it a better name, like for example "Recently Added."

Don't want songs on Recently Added list

I purchased some older songs that I want on my iPod but not on my Recently Added list. I want to keep the Recently Added songs as current hits, but the older songs in my library. I tried unchecking them in the Recently Added list but then they are unchecked in the library as well. Any ideas?

Hi
Yea, the unchecking thing isn't to recommend.
However here's one thing you can do:
Right-click on the recently added playlist - then enable the 'limit to' number in the playlist rules. You can set it to the last 25, 50, 100 or whatever number you like. Klick OK and you're done.
You can always go back and change the numbers afterwards if you like.
Here's an image to show you more specifically what I mean:

How to delete duplicated m4a file in "Recently Added" List in iTues?

I followed the instructions given by WICLEE and managed to customize my Ringtone but I couldn't delete the duplicated m4a file (after created a AAC file) from the Recently Added list where i selected the music for downloading. However, i managed to delete the m4a file from Windows Explorer and uncheck the deuplicated file when i sync onto my iPhone5 as a new Ringtone, it worked. Can Wiclee advise how to delete the unwanted m4a file from the list? Thanks much.

It will disappear from the Recently added playlist after 2 weeks.
Or you can edit the Recently added playlist to include ONLY music.

Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13

Recent files list is not updating after 10.1.13 update unless I open the file via the Network in Windows Explorer. If I open a file by accessing the file via a drive listed under Computer, the recent files list does not update. The recent files list updates only if I open the file from the same drive listed under Network.

Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? Thanks!

Today I imported quite a lot of Audio CDs. When I wanted to listen to them I realised that most of them aren't in my library. And they did not appear in the recently added list either. Can anyone tell me what happened and where to find them? It's really strange because all the imorts definitely finished. Thanks!

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Songbird Damaged iTunes Meta Data and Recently Added List. Best way to fix?

Hello, Apple forums.
A while ago (Long enough to fix some of the broken Meta data), I tried out Songbird as an alternative for when I'm gaming and want a little extra resources.
Unfortunately, I set it up to sync between iTunes and Songbird, and Songbird "updated" my iTunes information and removed META data in the process for any song played on Songbird.
It also had the recently added moved to "Songbird > Recently Added," and proceeded to fill it with every song in my library.
My music is stored on a Western Digital MyBook external HDD (320GB) formatted to FAT32.
I have fifteen playlists, and would like to retain ratings and play counts on the songs.
My library reads "8196 songs, 19:15:40:31 total time, 50.13"
Granted, a couple hundred of these are the ones missing the META data and are broken entries (IE has all the data listed but does not have the file where it should be) and their META-less version added from %library%\music\unknown artists\unknown album\
(The tracks retain their real name with the track number prefixing them, it's just a matter of going through all of the songs and matching them up)
Given that this is as it is, how should I go about this?
I would also like to keep the apps for my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (iOS Pois0ned 4.2.1).
All music is either imported from a CD or an independent artist.
I don't have access to all of the CD's, nor do I particularly want to manually re-add everything.
I am more concerned with the recently added playlist being fixed! I understand that I will have to cut my losses on the META data!

I thought you said Songbird had removed metadata. Most files carry metadata in a tag. If a file "goes missing" because another program chooses to relocate it iTunes will retain an entry in the library with all that information. The FindTracks script makes a bash at locating the moved files in a number of alternate locations, including the unknown artist/unknown album folder or the main Music folder. If the files have actually had metadata removed, but have a tag, then iTunes will read the damaged data and update itself. Not necessarily what you want. For files that are in a logical artist/album layout but don't have tags you could be better off repairing tags first with, for example, MediaMoney's AutoTag from Filename feature.

I had to look up RAT. I'm guessing you meant something like remote admin/access tool. By all means be wary of anything recommended on this site but to accuse me of being underhand without any evidence is hardly the way to start a fruitful conversation. I thought you wanted help here...

Photos missing from Recently Added, Collections after IOS8 update

After I uptaded my IPad Air to IOS 8, photos were missing from Recently Added and Collections. (I understand Camera Roll and Photo Stream are gone.) My Recently Added photos dated to June (it's September) and my shared IPhone photos were missing from both the Collections/Moments where everything is supposed to be now. Photos In Last Import are also from June. I was fumbling through the Comminties threads and found a partial solution on a related IPhone thread. I can't figure out how to link to it, but someone called Apple tech and they suggested going to Settings/Photos & Camera and toggling My Photo Stream off and then on again. I was reluctant to do this since a pop-up warns that all photos in your stream will be deleted. But as soon as I did it, aphotos started downloading to the Recently Added. They're out of chronological order, and there are duplicates, but at least they haven't all disappeared. (Also, not w complaint, but my Recently Added goes back to 2011, not 30 days.) Photos are still missing from Last Import and Collections. Any other ideas? At least now this feels recoverable, I'll put everything in Albums quick.

I deleted my recently added list

How do I get it back?? Furthermore, how do I modify its preferences?

The default playlists but they 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 lost my "RECENTLY ADDED" LIST AND CAN NOT TRANSFER SONGS

I deleted songs from the this category and the category disappeared.
I updated the ITUNES with 7.02 but no change.
Please assist me.
TY

Recently played is a Smart playlist.
File -> New smart playlist.
Set it to Date added is in last 2 weeks (or whatever you want).

IPod Recently Added list

Can this list be cleared without removing the songs from the iPod?

Nevermind, I realized that this was a dumb question. (i know, there's no such thing as a dumb question. Trust me, there is such a thing.)

Macbook4,1 10.6.8 and firmware update - what went wrong?

Macbook 4,1 2008 2.4Ghz (not unibody). I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled 10.6 from the Retail DVD and all seemed to go well. The MB was working fine up to that point. I then set up the MB (network, date and time, etc.) and repaired permissions.
I then checked Software Update and downloaded and installed the recommended updates to 10.6.8.
Again, all seemed to go fine. System booted and I repaired Permissions again. I went to the Apple web site, a couple of other web sites, and Software Update found another update to install: Firmware. Though I don't remember what version.
I clicked OK and it installed.
Upon reboot, it seemed to install okay.
But then I left the Macbook and it went into Sleep.
I didn't come back to it again until the next day.
When I pressed a key to wake it, I got what I now know is the screen that appears after you wake it from SAFE SLEEP. As per this Apple KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1757.
And this is where the problems started.
After the MB woke to the Safe Sleep screen, which shows the desktop a little "out of focus", the progress bars started filling in from left to right, BUT before they completed, the screen went BLACK.
And it has had a problem with black screen ever since. I can boot the MB from internal or external HD or from DVD, and it seems to boot fine. Boot chime, Apple logo, spinning wheel, then at the point where it pauses, blue screen, then goes to desktop, instead the screen goes black.
It finishes booting, but seems to go into Sleep.
I can wake it by pressing a key, but the screen either comes on and goes black again after 10 seconds, or I get the Safe Sleep wake screen, and then it goes black after 10 seconds.
And at boot or when waking the MB, the front LED flashes 5 times. There are no error beeps.
I've tried changing RAM, but problems remain.
So what's all this? Any ideas?
The display doesn't seem dead, as it works to boot and wake. The MB works fine with external monitor.
It's weird, but I can't think of anything apart from the Firmware update. The problems started right after installing it.
Unfortunately, this model of Macbook doesn't have a Firmware Restoration image to download and burn to CD. It is the ONLY Mac at this point that doesn't have this!
I called Apple support and even bought the 49 Euro Pay Per Incident service, which proved to be the same as throwing 49 Euro out the window. The only "technical" support they provided was to Reset the SMC, which you can find out about FOR FREE at the Apple website. And which I'd done anyway. I'd also reinstalled the MacOS. Don't want to beef too much, but sheesh, you've already got a Macbook that might need costly repairs, and they make you pay 49 Euro BEFORE they even ask you about the problem and what you've done to try to solve it. I'm tempted to say "ripoff". I mean, if all they can offer you is the advice to reset the SMC - which Apple offers for free at their website - then that's pretty poor service for 49 Euro, to say the least.
Apart from the wasted 49 Euro, I'm pretty peeved about the Firmware update (or so it seems) wrecking a perfectly working 2008 Macbook. I don't know how to convince Apple of this, but I'm certainly going to try.

Thanks for the reply.
Re. the Displays setting, the Macbook display isn't recognized and mirroring isn't an available option.
I've scoured the net and the idea of replacing the PRAM battery may be something to try. I read a post by a guy with a Macbook logic board screwed up by a Firmware update, which he solved by replacing the PRAM battery, as when you disconnect it you reset the logic board.
Which capacitor?
No luck so far with talking to Apple. I will try to get hold of someone a little more tech savvy and/or in a position of authority, as it seems that the Firmware is the culprit. Obviously a million other things could go wrong with a Macbook, but given the timing here it looks like the Firmware. Firmware updates can and occasionally do screw up a computer, as most manufacturers will warn you before you apply the update: PC makers, printer makers, etc. And they probably warn you that it's all your responsibility if anything goes wrong. But re. the Apple Firmware update:
1) it came thru Software Update
2) there was no warning
3) to make things worse, there's no Firmware Restoration image that I can burn to a CD to reflash the logic board: this is the only Apple computer that doesn't have a Firmware Restoration option
I'll try to get thru to a manager and convince him/her that the firmware may have been the cause.
Do you think an authorized Apple tech might have access to some way to do a firmware restoration? Something not avaiable to mere mortals? Because if not, the only solution looks like a new logic board.

Last iTunes update - what went wrong?

My iPod was running smoothly until I installed the last software updater. Afterwards, iTunes would freeze when I plugged in my iPod and the computer would not recognize it. I followed all of the R's - short of restore - and that didn't work. Finally, I took a deep breath and restored the device, erasing everything.
I reinstalled the software on the iPod and things seemed to work. Except that when I tried to update/synch the iPod with iTunes, I could only do it in 200-300 song chunks. Fine, so it took a week or so to get it all back. Then, after 1 day, it starts freezing again and will not go out of "Do Not Disconnect" mode, and I could not disconnect using the "safely remove hardware" feature. I committed what appears to be the cardinal sin and disconnected the device while it said not to do so. Now I have an iPod that only shows the sad face and the link to iPod support.
I visited the store in SoHo and was told to make an appointment for a repair, but the technician said the disc may be corrupt. Doesn't sound good, especially after reading some posts here about restored iPods becoming unusable.
Has anyone that has encountered the problem had any luck or am I looking at a dead device? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try the original CD route. If I do that, then presumably I would not update iTunes, correct (even though iTunes on the computer has been updated)?
Confused, tired of dealing with this and missed my iPod dearly during a transit strike that increased my commuting time by 400%.
Success stories sought.

Unfortunately, I still get the sad iPod and a "quarter battery" symbol when I dock it.
sorry Gordon, i saw the "do not disconnect" but missed the "sad Apple" in your original post.
iPod does not appear in iTunes or on the desktop, an exclamation point or sad iPod icon appears onscreen
let's try the restore one more time. let's try it with antivirus and antispyware switched off this time. (tracking a strange cluster of cases involving interference by those packages, and we sometimes get some joy when doing this.)
