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*

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

    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...

  • Deleted the "recently added" playlist.  How do I recover it without re-inst

    I accidentally deleted the "recently added" list and can't see the option in a smart playlist to "remake" it. Is there a way to recover without re-installing iTunes? thanks for any feedback

    Ok that is easy.
    1) File > New Smart Playlist.
    2) Make sure match the following rule is checked
    3)The first drop down change to date added.
    4)Set the second drop down setting
    5) Enter the number you want based on step 4
    The rest of the check marks are up to you but make sure "Live Updating" is checked.
    Take some time playing around with the smartlists. I love them!! I have a 2 level smartlist at work, I hardly use the regular playlists.

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

    i've searched for answers but they were all for windows. does anybody know how to get the recently added playlist back on a MacBook Pro?

    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.

  • By mistake i deleted the "recently added" playlist

    How do I get it back?
    I love that thing for organising everything when I have bought new albums

    This is just a smart playlist and you can make a new one.
    File>>New smart playlist
    Mine is as follows:
    Match following rule – unchecked
    Limit to checked
    Limit to 25 items selected by most recently added
    Live updating checked.
    But you could have something like
    Match following rule checked
    Date added is in the last 2 weeks
    Limit to unchecked
    Live updating checked

  • 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).

  • In iTunes I accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist.  How do I get it back?

    I was trying to clean up my playlists in iTunes and in doing so accidentally deleted my "Recently Added" wheel playlist.  I really want it back so I can see what I have recently added when I download or open things in iTunes.  Is there any way to get this wheel back?

    Forget question.  Just saw solution elsewhere on this site.

  • Deleted my Recently Added Playlist.

    I just accidentally deleted my recently added and playlist and can not for the life of me figure out how to put it back. I know I could just make a playlist called Recently Played, but the songs I just downloaded wouldn't go into it. How do I get the playlist back?

    Woah sorry about that last post I was thinking two different things at once. My problem is I deleted me Recently Added list, and can't figure out how to put it back.
