Recently added playlists not updating

Am getting quite frustrated. My recently added is fine on iTunes on the computer but via match on my Apple TV it's not showing recent added songs. It's like the playlist stopped updating as any songs added in last 10 days are not showing on the playlist. They are showing in the main library on my Apple TV so it's just the playlist. I created a similar smart playlist called recently purchased with similar rules, only diff is songs must of been purchased and this is behaving exactly the same in that any songs added last ten days are not on it. Sonething is working because I changed the rule to must if been added in last thirty days and it updated Apple TV playlist in as much as it then displayed a lot more songs in recently added going back that far but still none if the very recent ones in last ten days
Why is it not mirroring itunes and updating - any else see the same?

I've been having this same exact issue since updating my iPhone to iOS 8.2 - didn't experience this issue prior to that.  I normally sync my phone via wifi, and I thought that might not be working.  But just connected my phone directly to my computer, and still experiencing the same issue (playlists not updating).
Until Apple can fix this bug, the only workaround I've found that actually works is this - on your iOS device, go into settings and then scroll down to the Music sub-section and open that up.   There is a slider called "iTunes Match".  I turned it off, waited a second or two, and then turned it back on.  At least for me, that seems to cause a proper sync to happen, without causing any side effects.  Again, that's my personal experience.

  • My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

    My smart playlist "Recently Added", will not update via Match on my iOS devices

    At first I also thought this to be a bug with Match an smart playlists. When I first activated Match on my iPhone the 'recently added' playlist (which holds about 200 songs on my MacBook Pro) was vompletely empty on the phone. But - After buying some music and downloading some additional songs from the cloud - it was slowly beginning to fill up with this newly added music.
    So I guess Apple has quietly made smart playlists device-sensitive. 'recently added' actually means 'recently added in the specific device you are using to view this playlist'. In fact this would just be a logic step. But it would be great if Apple had documented this change of behaviour and would give us the option to make playlists device-relative or cloud-relative.

  • "Recently Added" has not updated since I upgraded

    My "Recently Added" playlist hasn't updated since I upgraded Friday afternoon. I cannot find any user setting that allows you to change this or set up your own.
    I find the "Recently Added" section an easy way to play together the most recently downloaded podcasts. Now, nothing updates.

    i've had the exact same problem since i upgraded. Not just the Recently Added not working, but none of the new music I download will import or add to the library.

  • All music i add only shows up in recently added playlist not in the main library, how do i get it to main library?

    ?

    Hi ft_wesadaguy,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you see songs in your Recently Added playlist, they should also appear in your iTunes library. First, double-check that you're viewing your music library:
    To view the contents of your iTunes library, click the Library pop-up menu near the top-left of the iTunes window, and choose a type of media to view (Music, Movies, and so on).
    From:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: iTunes library
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12402
    Additionally, make sure that the "songs" category is selected at the top of iTunes.
    If you've confirmed that songs in your playlist do not appear in your iTunes library, I recommend re-creating the library using the steps in this article:

  • IPod Mini 'Recently Played' playlist not updating...any ideas?

    Does anyone have any idea why my 'Recently Played' playlist on my
    iPod mini would suddenly stop updating itself?
    I tried to fix it by connecting to my computer and deleting the playlist
    through iTunes and creating a new 'Smart Playlist' with exactly the
    same settings of the last 'Recently Played' playlist but now, the new
    'Recently Played' playlist on the iPod is just staying the same, its not
    updating, its the songs that were played on my computer before I
    disconnected my iPod, so it's not even the songs from my iPod...
    Hope that makes sense.....anyone got any ideas?

    I'm not a user of smart playlists, but could it have something to do with this?

  • Recently played playlist not updating

    I'm posting this query here and in the ipod thread as i don't know if the problem is with my itunes, or the ipod itself:
    Basically, we've had a new PC, and I intstalled iTunes and uploaded all of my music with no problems. However, whenever i used to play a song on the ipod through "shuffle songs", it would drop onto the bottom of my "recently played" playlist on the ipod, then would go to the top of the list when the ipod got connected to the PC. Now the songs won't appear on the recently played list until the ipod is connected to the PC. I'm wondering then if this is something to do with the settings in iTunes, as i didn't have this problem until i got the new PC and had to start over with iTunes. Have had a look on the settings menu on the ipod itself, and also on the preferences menu on itunes, but can't see anything that looks like it might help. Is this a glitch or a simple settings problem?
    Many Thanks!

    I have this exact same problem, does anyone kno a solution?

    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"

  • "recently added" playlist does not sync correctly

    Hi,
    i have an iPhone 5, ios6 and iTunes 10.7 (all German).
    In iTunes i have the smart playlist "recently added". It is sorted by the "last added" field.
    The playlist is setup as:
    added within last 2 month, mediatype is music, only marked objects, automatic updates.
    The playlist shows the correct titles in iTunes.
    When the playlist is synced, the "recently added" list, has a random order.
    I also found out - by chance - that i added an other playlist with lots of titles recently. They are organized in an own playlist and do not show up in the recently added list in iTunes.
    But after the sync the recently added playlist shows the newly copied titles.
    It seems like if the iphone does calculate it's own list and the "recently added" playlist is missinterpreted on the iphone as "titles which where recently copied to the iphone". The "date field" is not used for the playlist, only the date the files was copied.
    (Hope i described the problem as good as i can and you understand what i mean)
    Any suggestions?
    The same problem was with ios5 and was fixed in 5.x.x - i don't know the exact version.
    Will i again have to wait for apple to fix it within the firmware? Why is this error reoccuring ever firmware update????

  • Itunes will not open new mp3 files in Recently Added playlist

    I just downloaded the newest update from itunes.
    Before this, whenever i downloaded an mp3 file (not from itunes) it would open in itunes in my Recently Added playlist.
    Now, when i click open in Itunes, the itunes window opens up but the file isnt in the playlist or in my library at all. I have to find the file and add it to my library. Is there a way i can fix this?

  • Recently added playlist doesn't reset or update

    As the question asks ,
    my recently added playlist never changes
    cheers
    matt

    I'm also having the same problem. After I import new tracks into iTunes. They are not showing up in my Recently Added playlist. I checked the smart playlist settings and it is set to Live Updating. I have to quit iTunes and relaunch before the new tracks will show up. Clearly a bug. I've submitted a bug report on their feedback site.
    It's not a problem with the settings of the smart playlist. I have never changed the settings of the playlist, and it only stopped updating with iTunes 10. And quitting and restarting makes the new tracks show up.

  • After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    After download ios5 my recently download podcasts do not appear in recently added playlist on my iphone. Anyway to change this?

    I had this problem with some podcasts immediately after updating to iOS 5. In order to resolve the issue, I did this:
    1- Deleted/unsubscribed from all my podcasts.
    2- Synced to my iPhone.
    3- Resubscrubed to all my podcasts.
    4- Downloaded all podcast episodes I wanted. (You could instead restore from a backup if some episodes are no longer available for download.)
    5- Synced to my iPhone.

  • Imported CD does not show in Library, but it does show in Recently Added playlist

    Imported a CD but it does not appear in the Library, althouhg it does show in the Recently Added playlist

    I seen a few references to things like this in the forum over the past couple of months but no real solutions.  Maybe it's a small bug affecting a few lucky people, but obviously not widespread or we'd see tons of posts.
    I suggest using the right+click reveal in Finder command to reveal the actual files. Delete the entries in iTunes without deleting the actual files, then add the files again by dragging them to iTunes.  Let us know if this works because I'm sure others would like to know.
    If it doesn't work, I wonder if there is some characteristic like somethng in the labels that is causing iTunes to not enter these in the library.
    Another thing you could try first is restarting iTunes and see if it's just a matter of it not properly refreshing its listing.

  • 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!

  • I just bought and downloaded an album.  the album/tracks are NOT found in my music listing alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist. plz help

    i just bought and downloaded an album.  the album/tracks are NOT found in my music library alongside every other track i have purchased! however, they are found and playable in the recently added playlist.  in addition, when using the search queue in the upper right corner, the artist and album is listed when searched for, but when clicked on, nothung happens.  i have downloaded hundreds of tracks with no issue (not a noob), but have no idea what has occurred...plz help

    Have you checked whether the songs are in your iTunes library? If they are, then just drag them to your purchased playlist. If they aren't, try checking for available downloads.
    If none of the previous work, then get in contact directly with iTunes store support to tell them about your problem.
