I accidentally deleted most of my playlist

So I accidentally wiped out a bunch of songs from my main iTunes library, but I told it to keep the files. Is there a way to restore the songs I accidentally pulled off, other than reopening each folder individually?

It's very simple.
You don't need to open each folder individually.
File > Add to library and select /Music/iTunes/iTunes media.
iTunes will only add what is not already in iTunes (you won't get duplicates).

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"

I accidentally deleted my Recently Added playlist

Hi all! I accidentally deleted my Recently Added playlist. I made a new one with the smart playlist thing but I cannot get any new songs to automatically add to it. Does anyone know how to get songs to automatically add to it? I'm devastated without this playlist. It was my favorite. Thank you so much!

Any idea why the recently added list is set to 2 weeks? I would rather have had it set indefinately, so it always shows the last say 100 tracks. I seem to be abel to edit it to 100 tracks and set a date of 'in the last 12 months', but the date settings seems reluctant to accept an wild card asterisk.
No major worries...

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*

Accidentally deleted most of Itunes

I "accidentally" deleted iTunes. I moved it to the trash as a TEMPORARY solution to it's constant unwanted opening on it's own every 5 minutes. I then FORGOT it was in trash and emptied trash I clicked "stop" as soon as the "unable to empty" warning appeared but by then the damage was done. I moved what was left using "put it back" but all that's left is the "contents" folder as SHOWN ABOVE. However, I didn't uninstall what was left of the original when I downloaded the "latest" version (12.x.x) from Apple Support. But Itunes still will not open. This is part of the error message sent to Apple but it does not HELP ME:

Hello nmmn7fourth,
I would suggest then to insert the OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) disk to reinstall a previous version of iTunes. Once that installation is complete, you will want to run software updates to get it to the latest version that OS X Snow Leopard can run. Take a look at the first article below for the step to do that. If you have issues, then you may need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard and then run all the updates to get it going again. You do have the option to upgrade, but I do not know what type of Mac that you have as well as whether or not you are wanting to upgrade.

Itunes Playlist Accidental Deletion

I accidentally deleted all of the playlists in my iTunes sidebar, including the pre-setup ones that come with the installation. Is there any way I can get those back? Like the "25 most played" and "Recently added".
Message was edited by: appleof_myeye

Most of the preloaded playlists are nothing more than Smart Playlists (SPLs). So you can go to File -> Create Smart Playlist and recreate them.
For example, for the 25 Most Played SPL you want to make it look like this...
Because they are nothing more than SPLs you can also change them to suit your needs. For example, 25 not good enough? Then change it to the 50 most played or 100 or 97 or whatever you like.
Cheers,
Patrick

Accidentally deleted a playlist, how do I recover it?

I think I accidentally deleted a playlist from my iTunes. I searched the trash, could not see it. Where did it go? I thought I deleted a song from my "purchased" area and I noted that the playlist I was adding to disappeared. Can I recover this? Where do I find the files? I tried to link my iPod to see if I could move it to the computer and it disappeared from my iPod as well. I did not empty my trash.
Thanks
Pete

PS
I did find in my finder section under music several previous iTunes libraries are listed, the most recent being 10-4-08. I suspect these are some sort of automatic backups that the system does. Are these accessible? If so, how do I do that? If I double click the library nothing happens.
It seems I should probably have some external drive to use as a backup should this happen again. Suggestions welcome. I assume I could rebuild my playlist, though I can not recall what was all in it!
Thanks

How to recover a playlist accidentally deleted in iTunes 10

Could someone PLEASE HELP ME on "How do I recover a playlist that I accidentally deleted in iTunes 10?

Addressing data loss problems always brings up matters of contention, since as-is your drive technically has the data on it and is currently at its most-recoverable state. Anything further you do to the drive (even standard use) will push it further away from this "most-recoverable" state, so if the data is vitally important (e.g., single copies of crucial financial, medical, or research documents), then the advice I'd give is to shut the system down as fast as possible, and take it into a reputable data recovery service center to have the drive's data restored.
On the other hand, there are some routines you can try to hopefully recover the data, and even restore the drive. Of course various recovery tools like Prosoft Data Rescue can scour the drive surface for file types and offer means to restore them, and disk utilities can sometimes repair a faultly partition. In this case, I'd recommend you try the tool "testdisk" which is built to recover missing partitions. I've used it once, and it was successful, but have not had extensive experience with it: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
I'd recommend you read through the site and its step-by-step guides to see how best to use the tool, before giving it a go.

If these playlists are still on your iPod, check out this older thread on how to export playlists from your iPod via iTunes.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12256388
Otherwise, I'm afraid you are of luck and will need to rebuild them.
