Recently added and recently played playlists have disappeared.

Hi, I have just looked at my itunes library on my Iphone 4s and noticed that my recently added and recently played playlists have disappeared. Does anyone know why this has happened and how can I get them back? Preferably without restoring my whole phone.

Solution/work around:
Add a new smart play list.
File > New Smart Playlist. From this point a pop up will appear.
Match following rule is selected
(Date added) - (In the last) - (2) - (weeks)
No limit set
No match only checked items
Live update selected
Then <ok>.
Change name of smart playlist to something like 'New Music' and Sync to IPhone/IPod.

  • Recently Added and Recently Played missing?

    My Recently Added and Recently Played playlists on iTunes aren't downloading onto my phone anymore. They show up on my computer but are completely absent on my phone. Is there a way I can fix this?

    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.

    Hello surig84,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad.  I recommend reviewing the following article specifically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name."

  • Recently added and recently viewed pics...why​?

    Hi, Id like to be able to delete the picture browsing that appears when you view pics. When you open the picture app, all pics that have been recently added and viewed are there. Is there way of doing this, like deleting browsing history on the internet? Thanks

    Hi Scottgo and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums!

  • Issues with Recently added and recently played

    When I sync my iPhone, my recently added and my recently played wont sync to my phone. Why?

    More info?
    Can those playlists be checked like the other playlists that are syncing to your phone?
    Can the songs in those playlists even be played?
    without that info I'd start with making sure iTunes is up-to-date or deleting and re-creating those playlists.
    HT1801 shows how to create a smart playlists which is what each of those are.
    "Recently Added" be default is stuff added in the last 2 weeks and "Recently Played" is any music played in the last 2 weeks.

  • Why are recently added and recently played playlists not showing on iphone 4s when they show in iTunes?

    In my iTunes window, the playlists for my iphone 4s when it is connected show correctly. The playlists include 'top 25 most played songs', 'recently played', and 'recently added'. Although they appear in iTunes even after syncing, they do not show on my iPhone and I can not use them (they aren't there). But they continue to show in the iTunes list for the device. This is frustrating because I often like to play my recently added list or top 25. How do I fix this?
    Thanks for any help.

    I would also like to know this. =/

  • I've deleted the recently added and recently played tabs and want to get them back, how?

    Hi
    I've deleted the recently played, and recently added tabs on the left hand side of itunes, but I now want to gewt them back. I've tried to look online for solutions but they don't work, I get the icon up again, but nothing gets added. Am I doing something wrong.
    Heres what I've done - Go to file - Create new smart playlist - then in the box marked random, drop down box to most recently added - then name the folder when it appears on the left. Thats great, but nothing appears in that folder. I've also tried clicking on the + sign bottom left then hitting shift, which brings up the same box, but it still doesn't work..... Help!

    You need to specify what the values/attributes are for the two smart playlists. The below screenshots are from iTunes on my Mac (as that is what I'm currently logged in on), but I assume that the values are the same as they would be on windows :

  • Recently added and Recently Played

    how does itunes "define" this? how recent is recent?
    also still need someone to help me figure out how to backup my library and playlists and ratings..

    +"how does itunes "define" this? how recent is recent?"+
    Look at the left-hand list. Right-click the playlist name, and choose Edit Smart Playlist. You can see exactly what rule it uses, and you can change it if you wish.

  • Playlists have disappeared and songs play only 1 min.

    Hi,
    I have spotify premium but in my iPhone suddenly the playlists have disappeared, the all songs in starred as well and when I select a song, only plays during 1 min.
    I have log out and log in, delete and download again the app, check in my computer if the premium account is on, but nothing works! This problem is only in the iphone, it works perfect on iPad or computer.
    What else can I try?
    Thank you

    2 devices:1. Iphone 6 - IOS 8.4
    2. Ipad Air 2 - IOS 8.4
    Location: The Netherlands
    Login: oppositemarco in both devices
    Issue occured after batteries were out and after recharging the Iphone I could not access the Spotify App on my Iphone.
    After deleting the Spotify App, turn my Iphone off and on again, reinstalling the Spotify app I had access again to the Spotify app, however my playlists are no longer visible on my Iphone.
    The only way to get to my playlists again is via 'recently played'.
    However it is also not possible to set anymore to 'offline' for my own playlists (that I compiled myself), that are listed only under 'Recently played' since it will be put back again to the original online only. 
    Spotify, could you please sort this out since I am going on holiday soon.

  • HT1844 Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.

    Library Issue:  I just imported 2 CD's into ITunes.  They show up in "Recently Added" and on my other devices via ITunes Match, but NOT in the ITunes software on the computer where I added them.  They show up in the search box, but when I click on the results it just kicks me to ALL my music.  I have imported thousands of songs/CD's before and this is a new one.

    Something may have gone wrong with the index of the Music playlist. Making another change to the library such as downloading the current iTunes Free Single of the Week, or deleting one track from your library and reimporting it, should fix the problem.
    If that doesn't work close iTunes and delete the hidden file sentinel from inside the main iTunes folder, then start iTunes again. It should run a consistency check when it starts up which ought to correct things.

  • After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared.

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.1.12 from iTunes 10, my playlists have disappeared. Any ideas how I can get them back? They are still on my iPhone though, even after a sync.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
