I wanted to clear my Recently Added playlist and I accidently deleted it.

I wanted to clear my Recently Added playlist that was a premade playlist and I deleted it. Now when I add songs to iTunes, the songs just go straight onto another playlist and I can never find them right away. I was wondering if there was any way I could get the Recently Added playlist added back onto my playlists as a pre-set playlist so that when I add new songs, they go straight to the Recently Added playlist.

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.
Check the box "Live Updating"

  • 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.

  • Deleted recently added playlist how do i add back to playlist and make destination playlist for imports

    i deleted recently added playlist and want to add back, and make it destination for imported songs how do i do

    Howdy Mark,
    The Recently Added playlist is a Smart Album that has specific settings to automatically add new content to that playlist. It can be recreated manually if accidentally deleted, you can use this article named Archived - iTunes: How to create a Smart Playlist found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1801.
    Choose File > New Smart Playlist.
    To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure to select "Match the following rule," then make your selections from the pop-up menus.
    For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
    To add additional matching criteria, click the Add + button.
    Here are the parameters to use when you create the new Smart Album:
    1. Check the box that says Match the Following rule:
    2. Change the first set of criteria to Date Added, In the Last, 2, weeks.
    3. Add another line for criteria by clicking the + button
    4. The second set of criteria should be as follows. Media Kind, is not, podcast.
    5. Uncheck Limit To, and Match only checked items, and check Live Updating.
    That when that is done you will have a new smart playlist that you can rename to Recently Added by double clicking the smart album name.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • Restoring the original "Recently Added" Playlist

    I accidently deleted the "Recently Added" playlist, and its accompanying path and logic when new songs are purchased and/or ripped that are automatically put there. Is there any way to restore the playlist and its original functionality? THANKS.

    This is simply a smart playlist which can re-built using the following criteria "date added is after", you pick how much time you want to use such 2weeks ago, 1 month ago, etc.

  • Delete songs from iTunes library from "recently added" playlist

    can you please add a function that removes songs from both the entire library and the recently added playlist by simply right clicking a song while in the "Recently Added" playlist that has the "Delete" function. this is very simple and would make iTunes that much more user friendly.
    thanks!
    i have no idea where else to submit suggestions like this, apple people aren't user-friendly enough.

    We are only other users, such as yourself.
    You can send suggestions to Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    Press *Shift Delete* to delete songs from a playlist and also from the library.
    (from your signature block)
    pc, duh
    Not really "duh". I have a pc and it is a Macintosh.
    The idea is to put correct info in your signature to help with problems you may be having As an example, if you had problems with your iTunes library disappearing and your signature showed "Sony Vaio", immediately we would know the Sony media software is the problem.
    why do you care
    So we don't have to ask when you post a question.

  • "Recently added" playlist no longer capturing podcasts

    Within the last 10 days, after downloading the newest version of iTunes to my Nano, I found that my "recently added" playlist contained only music tracks. Until the new download, the "recently added" music playlist HAD contained both music and podcasts. Because I do a lot of Nano listening while driving, this was real useful. Before starting the car, I could call up the "recently added" playlist and listen to the freshly added podasts, in order, without having to pick up the Nano and click-click-clisk after listening to each new podcast. What can I do to restore the Nano's old setting that captured podcasts in the "recently added" music playlist? The motoring public and I will thank you.

    Problem solved, or rather dissapeared.
    Went on my phone and closed music down. When I reopened it everything was correctly sorted.
    Go figure.

  • Recently added playlist is gone.. how do i get it back?

    i accidentally deleted my recently added playlist and i dont know how to get it back. I would just make a new one but it wouldn't take of the "older" songs as time went on. Please help me figure this out.

    Use the iTunes File menu > New smart playlist.  The rules shown below are the rules used in the original recently added playlist, but you may change them if you wish.

  • Do NOT want Podcasts in "Recently Added" Playlist

    Is there anyway possible to make it so Podcasts (voice AND video) are not placed into the "Recently Added" Playlist? I frequent this playlist for new music, but don't want to have to listen to the flip over a podcast everytime.

    I had the opposite problem - after creating an iTunes account, podcasts disappeared from the Recently Added playlist. I listen to quite a few and subscribe to many, so having all the new episodes in one place was pretty useful.
    By using the suggestion (in reverse) in your solution, the playlist's behavior was restored to its previous (desirable) state.
    Thanks!

    franciscoandre,
    Just how do I do this. I did it once before and can't do it now. I'm using iTunes 7. Does that matter?
    In the top line I have set it to "album" "starts" "8/18/06." I have typed in several other choices including added after, after, date added after 8/18/06, etc. I don't see anything I can click on that refers to date. If it's not clear I want to create a smart playlist that contains everything after 8/18/06. Please help! I also don't see anywhere I can click on "Live Updating." I have put in 500 items as I have added a lot of material since then.
    Thanks

  • I accidently deleted my "recently added" playlist. how do I get it back?

    I'm very new to itunes and having trouble getting the hang of it.
    I was trying to clean up some playlist files and was attempting to delete songs I didn't want or need. I hit shift-delete and all of sudden EVERYTHING disappeared. the songs I had purchased... stuff I had recently uploaded... everything.
    I went to the recycle bin and hit "restore" in the hopes that things would come back, but no luck.
    I was able to search my computer and get the songs I needed back, but it was quite frustrating. in addition, one of the things that disappeared that I wasn't able to retrieve was the "recently added" playlist, which was actually quite helpful to me.
    I attempted to upload a new CD to see if it would recreate the "recently added" list, but no luck.
    how do I get that back and make sure that future uploads are automatically saved to that playlist?
    thanks in advance for any help.

  • "Recently added" playlist on iPod Touch problem

    I don't know what happened but suddenly my recently added playlist on iPod Touch stopped sorting my songs as they were added (by date) they are all random now. It's pretty annoying since sometimes i just want to listen the the previously imported songs and it's impossible to find them.
    Now, as for the recently added playlist on my iTunes,they appear sorted the way i like them.
    Does anyone know how can I tell my iPod to sort my songs this way?
    Thanks

    This is a known bug with the 3.1.x OS. As a workaround, either go into the playlist definition and un-check "Live Updating", or you can add some criteria that intentionally breaks Live Updating (e.g. add the criteria "Playlist Is Music", where "Music" is the general iTunes folder for music items).

  • Someone Deleted my Recently Added Playlist, How do I get it back?

    Someone else who was using my computer accidently deleted my recently added playlist. How do I get it back? I've already updated to the newest version of ITunes, but I still don't have it.

    File -> New smart playlist.
    Match rule;
    Date added is in last 2 weeks (or whatever you want).

  • I accidently deleted my "recently added" playlist.. how do I get it back?, I accidentily deleted my "recently added" playlist.. how do I get it back?

    "Recently Added" playlist was one that came with iTunes. How in the world do I get it back?

    When you are editing the rules it is worth knowing that it would normally look something like this, but of course you are free to use whatever rules you want.
