ITunes 9: What is the "Recent" playlist?

I have a "Recent" playlist. Mine is empty. What is "Recent" for?
Thanks

If it is a smart playlist (indicated by the icon having a little graphic of a gear in it, as opposed to a little quarter note graphic), you can right click on it and then select "Edit Smart Playlist" and see the rules it applies. For it to update automatically, you must have "Live updating" checked.
On my machine I have a "Recently Played" which is songs that have been played (all the way to the end of the song) in the last two weeks. I have another that is "Recently Added" which is songs added within the last two weeks. I don't have a "Recent" playlist, so I can't comment on what yours does. But hopefully by looking at the smart playlist settings above, you can figure it out.

    Yes, due to Incomplete Software Update on your iPhone your Device is now in Recovery Mode and you cannot take a Backup now. But if you have taken a backup earlier then you can Restore that backup on your iPhone after you Reset your iPhone to Factory Settings.

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

  • My Ipod touch is frozen.  Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second one I have had that has done this!

    My Ipod touch is frozen.  The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem.  HELP!

    This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup.  You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup.  If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js
    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and all open tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • The airport icon stopped showing on iTunes.  What is the fix?

    My airport icon stopped showing in iTunes.  What is the fix?  I am running iTunes on a non-Mac.

    You could try doing a reset, which is holding down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds, see if you can force it to reboot. However if your iPad won't stay on then you may not be able to do that.
    It may be the battery. It may have reached the end of its life. I'd make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out

  • What is the Smart Playlist

    I read about the Smart Playlist all the time..what exactly is that? Also
    what is the on the go playlist? I just have my playlists that I made.
    Sorry it's such a silly question..but I'm still learning.
    Thanks for any responses!

    A smart playlist is one that you construct using rules, rather than adding songs to the list manually. From iTunes, create a new smart playlist (File menu, as I recall), and fill in some rules. For example:
    Genre is Rock AND
    last_played is not in past 1 month
    There are pull-down lists for most of the options; it isn't hard to figure out.
    This is a very powerful tool for organizing your collection, without spending much effort on playlist construction.
    Be aware that there's a bug on the iPhone and Touch, where the 'select by' rule gets things backwards (e.g. most recent <-> least recent). If you avoid that option on the smart playlist setup, you should be fine. There are also reports of problems with 'live update' on these playlists, but they don't seem to affect everyone.

  • In iTunes 11, what is the best way to delete the iTunes purchased song from my library after I create an aiff copy?

    I use my MacBook Pro as a music server. After downloading a song from the iTunes store I create an AIFF copy in my laptop's iTunes  Library. I then delete the original purchased song from the library to avoid duplicates. In iTunes prior to version 11 I had no difficulties doing this. The purchased copy just went back to the cloud and awaited future download onto other devices  leaving the new AIFF copy in my laptop's library. In iTunes 11 it is not as easy. The purchased version wants to stay in my library even after it is  deleted. What is the best (simplest) process to delete the compressed copy completely from my laptop's library while leaving the Aiff version. However, I want the original version to be available in the cloud for download on my other devices. Quite often my efforts have resulted in hiding the song frm the cloud! Any suggestion.....?

    I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
    Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
    You cannot get higher resolution by converting  the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
    Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
    Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
    Agreed.
    You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

  • Some of the mp3 songs won't get add into itunes? what's the problem

    When i try to add mp3 songs into itunes library it won't get add

    Alright so this buggged the sh1t out of me and gave me enough reason to figure it out. Although I don't know what causes the random MP3s not to work, you can simpley convert them into an AAC file through Itunes. Just highlight the song or songs in itunes, right click, and choose the option for "create AAC version". I'm on a MBP and have to redo permissions on the files in order to drop them on the blackberry via mass storage device.

  • HT5070 i just downloaded/purchased game of thrones s1 #1 and can't see a thing on itunes.  what's the problem?  I hit Play now, and screen goes black as if ready to play and nothing.

    i just downloaded/purchased "game of thrones? s1 #1 and when i hit "play" nothing happens.  the screen goes blank, the counter is there, but nothing starts.  help please!

    Go to the Music section of your Library (very top-left corner) and see if your songs are there. The "Purchased" playlist may have been deleted or gotten corrupted, but if that happens it's not a big deal because your music should still be in your main Music Library.
    If your music is NOT in the Music section of your Library, then go to the iTunes Store homepage and find the Quick Links list on the right side. At the top of that list, click Purchased and you can redownload all of your previous content that you might have lost.
