I accidentally deleted the "purchased" playlist

Not any of the songs, but I frequently looked in there for recently purchased stuff. I know I can work around it, but is there a way to get it back? Thanks.

Not sure you can create a smart playlist from your iPhone. I think you need to create it on your computer...

  • I accidentally deleted the SD version of a movie, and now neither version is showing up in my purchases?

    Earlier, I downloaded Les Miserables from iTunes. I stored the HD version in the cloud, but my little sister got on my computer and accidentally deleted the SD (that i was getting for my phone). When i went back to the iTunes store, it didn't show up in my purchases. I am currently re-downloading the HD version, but is there any way to get the SD version back? I really want to watch it on a plane ride i have coming up and i dont have the money to buy it again!

    If you previously purchased the movie, contact the iTunes store about regranting the download.

  • I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" default playlist from iTunes. Any way to recover and reinstall it?

    I accidentally deleted the "Recently Added" default playlist from iTunes. Any way to recover and reinstall it?

    File > New Smart Playlist
    Call it "Recently Added" and make the rule that date added is in the last 2 weeks (or your preference for "recent").

  • I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my pc?

    I accidentally deleted a purchased itunes song but still have it on my ipod.  Is there anyway to restore it to my laptop from the ipod?  I've seen others with a similar situation and the question was asked if it was still on the ipod but can't find a follow up to point me in the right direction.

    Use the Transfer Purchases command in iTunes.

  • HELP! I Accidentally deleted the iTunes folder in the My Music folder

    HELP! I Accidentally deleted the iTunes folder in the My Music folder so I lost the two files
    iTunes Library.itl
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    As I understand it, these files contain all the play counts, ratings, etc. and I've spent weeks getting this info the way I want it and don't want to lose it.
    I have all my mp3 files on my desktop computer HD under a seperate directories, so I'm not worried about loosig origninal music files. I don't have iTunes copying the files when I add them to the library and I do have "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checked. I have not relocated any of the original music files.
    I have not auto synced my iPod, and I can open the iPod in iTunes and all my songs, with play counts, ratings, etc. are there. I just want to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. back to my PC.
    Is there any way to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. from the data on the iPod and recreate the .itl & .xml files on my PC? I see there are many files on the iPod two of which look promising "iTunesDB" & "iTunesPlaylists".
    Can someone please tell my how to recreate just the .itl & .xml files by using the info on the iPod itself? Again, I have not relocated or lost any of the original music files, I just want to get the playlists, play counts. ratings, catagories, etc. back that are stored in the .itl file.
    I really don't want to have a software utility copy the info over as then I will have two copies of my music files and I've spent a lot of time organizing and naming the mp3 files just the way I want (not the way iTunes wants).
    I've read many posts and it seems many have screwed up recovery by trying things without clear direction.
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    Try some of the more robust recovery/trnsfer programs. Several can recover the playlists, and metadata of the songs on the iPod. Do some reading on the respective websites.
    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    XPlay (Software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation.
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

    I accidentally deleted the song in iTunes from my macbook, how can I get it back?
    Can I get it back from purchased order in iTunes store??

    It is not about using the cloud you access this as I said from inside the itunes store
    When you click on purchased you should see something like this. Click on the cloud icon by the side of the item to download it

    I accidentally deleted the program pages and Keynote how can I recover them? in the Apple store they paid steel ...

    Any apps you've had installed on your iPad can be downloaded again.
    Go to App Store on your iPad and select 'Updates' and then tap on Purchased. You can then view all purchases made on the iPad or purchases made on other devices by selecting the 'Not on this iPad' tab.

  • I have accidentally deleted the iPhoto app. Help

    I have accidentally deleted the iPhoto app that came installed on my macbook pro.
    I didn't get a disc when I purchased the laptop.
    How can I get the app back for free?

    You will need OS X Mavericks, but now this is not the problem.
    Probably you hid iPhoto in the Mac App Store, so try to unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If it does not show as an app to unhide, you will need to contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact
    Respecting to OS X Mavericks, you will need it to download iPhoto, but first of all check if you are already using it (or not). Open  > About this Mac, and tell me which OS X version you are using

  • How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    How can I delete the purchased books list in iBook?

    Hi,
    Yes you are miss understanding the problem.  To clarify. The problem is not how to delete the book from a device, it is how to delete the puchase (i.e. the history).  You can hide it in your account settings, but you cannot delete it. So if you buy something on a shared account (i.e. a family account like mine), your children can see and download any of your puchases - forever.
    Some will say it's for your protection.  A bit like the shop looking after your receipt, so that you cannot lose it.
    However, I thought that as part of the data protection act, you could ask for this information kept about you to be deleted, but this doesn't apply to Apple purchases.  Believe me I've tried.

  • I accidentally deleted the documents folder from my hard drive. can I recover it?

    I accidentally deleted the documents folder (and its contents) from my ibook hard drive. Can I recover it?

    It takes a really expensive data recovery service to get back things that have been deleted.
    You could try Data Rescue 3, if you're desperate to get the documents back.
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    System Requirements:
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue_sysreq.php
    If you want to try this, stop using the iBook immediately, and wait until you get the recovery software because every time you save something to your hard drive (even if it's only a link in your browser history), you risk overwriting the files you deleted.
