Missing Recently Added Button on I tunes

Under my playlist category, I always had a "Recently Added" description with a gear Icon next to it. so I could pull the new music I added and put it where I wanted....It is gone now. I have tried to reinstall the program to see if it would reinstall with no luck....
Any suggestions?

Thanks...just a quick question...When I tunes installed the program, when I was adding files from the CD's it would automatically drop these files into "recently added" and then I could move them around as I needed to.
Now when I import files I have no idea where they are downloaded to.

that button is actually a *smart playlist* which you can create yourself quite easily.
in iTunes, choose +new smart playlist+ from the file menu and recreate the following rules:

Can i restore the 'recently added' button in the sidebar of iTunes?

It happend that I accidencially erased the 'Recently Added' button from the sidebar in iTunes which is a bit of a dissaster for me as I often add mp3's from musicproductions elsewere. It makes it quite difficult to find the songs without that button.

Hi Jimzgoldfinch
It worked, i have a new smart playlist up and running. That's great, thanks a lot!

Missing recently added on iphone

My recently added is missing from my iphone music. how do i get it back? i've tried resyncing and clicking it and dragging it into my phone but nothing seems to work. help!

Well... in that case, the syncing has become hosed.
The only way to really rectify syncing issues is to uncheck the sync option for the item that is not syncing properly, in this case Music and then sync the device.
Once completed, select the item again and sync. It will correct the syncing issue it simply takes a little time.

My Photos missing recently added album, and Photo Booth's irritating

Air 2 8.1.2. Just noticed that the 'recently added' album is missing from My Photos. I've restarted my iPad, but it ain't come back, to the best of my recollection, I've not hidden anything (didn't think those albums could be hidden, anyway). I've 'recently deleted', 'panoramas', 'favourites', and a couple I've created, but that's it. can anyone hazard a guess as to where it's done a runner to, and how I can apprehend it and put it back where it belongs…?
Secondly, how do I hide the 'photo strip' which runs along the bottom of the screen, just above the toolbar, in Photo Booth…? I don't use it all that often, but I'm certain the last time I did, the teken pics 'slipped' into a kind of invisible 'packet' at the bottom-right of the screen, just like they do when you're using the normal camera. im 99% certain I've not toggled a 'show/hide photo strip' setting anywhere, because there don't appear to BE any settings in PB. I'd really rather have it back the way it was, because having that strip there obscures too much of the screen.
Cheers, mateys!

It sent - HTF did that happen…?! It's also only listing my old Touch which I no longer own. Y'see, this is the main reason I don't don't fora, they confuse the feck outta me, that and they have people in 'em; actual hominids of the species Homo sapiens sapiens with whom I'm forced to interact.
Sorry, about that I'm sure you can fathom out what the header's supposed to read. Why in the name of all that is sentient, won't Apple allow edits…?! Now it's made me reply to me own post, and I'm thought of as crazy enough round these parts!
You'll get your just desserts, Apple, one day it'lol all go pear-shaped and your empire will crumble…
You'll be pleased to know I'm now out of puns de pomme.

In the last 36 hours my photos have jumbled within various albums. Random photos have attached at the end of an unrelated album, old photos have appeared again on Recently Added, some photos are missing but still on "collections". No date order

Within the last 36 hours my photo albums have turned into a real jumbled mess. Random photos have appeared at the bottom of my Recently Added album. In most cases it's a copy of a photo that was taken months or years ago so now it appears twice.. 200 random photos have appeared in an unrelated album. Some photos are missing completely. The date order is correct in some places and then it goes back and forth over the months and years. The "collections" appears to be okay. This morning when I went into the photo app About 50 photos that were permanently deleted 3 months ago reappeared on the Recently Added Album which I deleted again. if I delete these irreplaceable photos from the unwanted album it will delete the photo completely. Help please - this is so annoying and frustrating. I hate to think when I turn the iPad on tmoor row what else will have changed .

Quick Update:
I usually have my Mac laptop up with Messages running on it. As you know, it will receive the same messages you send/receive on your iPhone. I thought all my old photos would be there too, but they have all disappeared as well except for the last few.
Messages is supposed to archive all old photos to a directory called ~/Library/Messages/Attachments. On my mac, this was a 0 byte file that was created back in Jan 2014. As a result, none of the old photos got saved on my Messages app either. I looked at a Time Machine Backup and it has been the case since September (no earlier backups available). So, it's unclear how long this issue has been going on for my Messages app and how related it is to my iPhone problem.
In any case, if any of you use Messages, you may be able to recover your photos in that directory provided it didn't get trashed like mine did. I moved the file and created a new Attachments directory. Upon relaunch, Messages started properly storing new photos in there again.
Either there was a really terrible bug in the Apple software or something malicious has happened.
P.S. I'm running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. There is a thread of people with this problem on Yosemite here:
No pictures are shown in Message om Mac
This seems like a pretty seriously terrible bug. I will be talking again to AppleCare on Wednesday and I hope they can escalate this.

Recently added photos/movies missing after closing iPhoto '09

I have iPhoto '09 (8.1.2 (424) running on an Intel iMac Core (1) Duo with Snow Leopard, all software updates current. Tonight I went to add several photos and movies to my iPhoto library (19,000+ photos). They imported fine. I moved some around with respect to events, fixed some dates, but did no photo edits. Then I closed iPhoto. When I opened it back up, all of the recently added photos were gone. The "Last Import" said "(0)". I found the photos/movies sitting in my iPhoto library in the file structure and could open them up and view them with Preview or Quicktime, respectively. But iPhoto didn't know they were there. I tried to drag and drop them into iPhoto again and it wouldn't let me, saying they are already in the library. I was able to reimport from the original location on my desktop and after closing and re-opening, same thing, no photos in iPhoto but another copy of them in the "iPhoto Library package > Originals > 2011 > ..."
This is repeatable. I can delete the folders I added then reimport and after closing and re-opening, nothing. I've rebuilt the library 2 times using command+option with all options selected except "rebuild from automatic backups." I can drag just one image into iPhoto from the bunch and it disappears to after a close+reopen. I have not yet tried to do a camera-based import. These are files on my desktop.
Lastly, I think this may be a red herring, but I just recovered from a HD crash last week. I got a new HD installed by professionals and did all the new installs to Snow Leopard and restore from my time machine backups myself. Everything looks/works like it did before the crash, except one of the user's (4 of us on this machine) desktop was missing their background pic and had to re-add it. All the other user's desktop pics were fine. This desktop pic was associated with the iphoto library I'm having the problem with. I just realized after talking with my wife that all the pictures she has added since the crash have had the same behaviour and are sitting in the iphoto library package but are not in the iPhoto library "viewer" when iPhoto is open.

The Library database is corrupted.
Best option: restore from back up. Otherwise:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Photos missing from Recently Added, Collections after IOS8 update

After I uptaded my IPad Air to IOS 8, photos were missing from Recently Added and Collections. (I understand Camera Roll and Photo Stream are gone.) My Recently Added photos dated to June (it's September) and my shared IPhone photos were missing from both the Collections/Moments where everything is supposed to be now. Photos In Last Import are also from June. I was fumbling through the Comminties threads and found a partial solution on a related IPhone thread. I can't figure out how to link to it, but someone called Apple tech and they suggested going to Settings/Photos & Camera and toggling My Photo Stream off and then on again. I was reluctant to do this since a pop-up warns that all photos in your stream will be deleted. But as soon as I did it, aphotos started downloading to the Recently Added. They're out of chronological order, and there are duplicates, but at least they haven't all disappeared. (Also, not w complaint, but my Recently Added goes back to 2011, not 30 days.) Photos are still missing from Last Import and Collections. Any other ideas? At least now this feels recoverable, I'll put everything in Albums quick.

I deleted my recently added from i tunes wish to retrieve it

I deleted my recently added from i tunes wish to retrieve it

As Gnome notes, it is just a smart playlist, and quite a simple one at that.
To replace it, use File > New Smart Playlist. Rename the Smart Playlist as "NewTracks" or whatever. Then right-click its name, choose Edit Smart Playlist, and add a single rule: "Date Added" "is in the last" "2 weeks."

Missing purchases, playlists, recently played, recently added, etc

After opening iTunes today, all of my new purchases(last 3 or 4 months)are gone. The icons for recently added, recently played, playlists, and everything else in the lower section are gone. I tried a few of the suggestions like looking in the recycle bin, and searching my computer for the files didn't do anything. I also re installed iTunes to no avail...

The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
"90s"
Match the rule "Year">"is in the range">"1990">to>"1999"
You can do 50s, 60s, 70s & 80's by adjusting the range
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.
Top 25 Played:
Uncheck the "Match the following rule" box
Then check "Limit to">"25">"Songs">selected by "Most often played"
Recently Played:
Uncheck the "Match the following rule" box
Then check "Limit to">"25">"Songs">selected by "Most recently played" make the "limit to" to suit yourself.
Top Rated:
Match the rule "My Rating">"is">"5 Stars" You can make that as many stars as you like from 1 to 5. Or you can make your rule "My Rating">"is greater than">"3 Stars" for example.
Video:
Match the rule "Video Kind">"Is">"Music Video" You can also have Movie or TV Show
For all of these also check the box "Live Updating"
If your purchases are definitely gone and if you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on any of the links on this page you'll find a space at the bottom to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod, the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
You might also want to check out this page for future reference: How to back up your media in iTunes

IPhone 6 photos in Recently Added but missing from Collections

I recently received 3 photos in a text message which I have saved to my phone.
The 3 pictures appear fine in the Recently Added album, but when I go to find the photos in the Photos/Collections tab, only 2 of the photos appear. The 3rd one is missing. I have saved the 3rd photo a number of times, but it still doesn't appear. All 3 photos were taken at the same time on a relatives phone and sent to me all at the same time, so should all be dated the same.
As a result of not appearing in the Photos tab, the 3rd photo also doesn't sync to iCloud.
Anyone experienced this? My main worry is that after the photos leave my Recently Added album in 30 days, the 3rd photo will be lost & I don't know if this could also be happening to other photos as well.

Dunno about the photo not appearing in photos/collections.
Try a reset of iPhone.
Quit all open apps.
Double tap Home & swipe up on all apps.
Then reset iPhone.
Press & hold both Home & Power until you see Apple logo.

You should regularly sync you photos back to you computer.
