Restore the "recently added" folder

In iTunes I deleted the icon/folder "recently added" for some strange reason so I tried to get it back by adding a custom folder by the same name but iTunes won't put recently added stuff in there [i understand that] I can't figure out how to restore the default folder. I bet others have done this with other folder icons too so you could kill a couple of birds with a couple of clicks.

You need to make a smart playlist.
File -> New Smart Playlist
Pick "Date Added" "is in the last" 2 "weeks"
Make sure "Live Updating" is checked

  • How you make recend uploads appear in the recently added folder

    When adding to itunes library, how do you make the selections appear in the recently added folder.  The folder was deleted but rebuilt.

    It is a mixed playlist and finally I came up with an answer; it might sound strange but I woke up from a nap with all correct settings figured out.
    This is what I did:
    I had to specify a subset for every podcast or I would end up with every episode available on my library which in turn would reach the limit I set but that's OK. I noticed though, that podcast won't sync to iTunes Match, which is a bummer, but still they sync over Wi-Fi. This is what I got finally:
    Thanks for all your help!

  • I cannot access the recently added folder in Instagram on my iPad.  Any ideas why?

    when trying to access photos  on my iPad in Instagram I can access my shared photo streams but not the recently added folder and the photos taken on my iPhone.  Any ideas?

    Hello wintergreenchip,
    The troubleshooting steps detailed below can help get your Photo Stream working correctly.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.
    If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • How to restore the recently played folder?

    Hey
    In a stupid moment i accidently deleted the recently played folder how do i get it back or make something that does exactly the same, please help.
    many thanks
    Ria

    Ria,
    Create a smart playlist with the rule "Last Played>is in the last>1 day"
    You can vary the time period to suit yourself.

  • Restoring the Recently Played Folder

    I deleted the recently played folder. Anyone know you to get this back? Thank you

    It's not a folder.
    It's a Smart Playlist.
    Simply create a new one (iTunes -> File - >New Smart Playlist)
    Set it to Last played is in last two weeks (or whatever you want.)

  • 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!

  • How can I restore the "Recent bookmarks" folder that disappeared from within the bookmarks dropdown menu when I deleted a block of entries: firefox 27.0.1 & XP?

    Restarting Firefox and rebooting the computer did not help.

    1. Open the Library (Ctrl+Shift+B).
    <br>2. On the left, expand the All Bookmarks section.
    <br>3. Left-click the Bookmarks Menu folder to select it.
    <br>4. On the top toolbar, click the Organize button and choose New Bookmark.
    <br>5. Name the bookmark "Recently Bookmarked", and enter the following in the Location field. Change the value of ''maxResults'' if you want more or fewer than 10 items (which is the default).
    <pre><nowiki>place:sort=12&maxResults=10&queryType=1</nowiki></pre>
    6. Either restart Firefox or just open a new window (Ctrl+N) and close the old one.

  • Recently Added folder gone?

    I accidentally deleted the Recently Added folder. How do I get it back? Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the entire iTunes program?
    ibook G3   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    It's just a smart playlist.
    To re-create it:
    Create a new Smart Playlist (File menu).
    Set the rule: Date Added - is in the last - 2 weeks
    These are the default settings; you can change them if you like.
    Check 'live updating'.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where's my "recently added" folder

    We have "lost" our "recently added" folder and everytime we try to download a CD to our i-tunes, appears as if it was being downloaded but we're not sure where its being sent. We have no problems with our "recenlty purchased" folder nor any other folders.

    The recently added folder is just a smart playlist which you can make again.
    Mine is:
    Match the following rule - unchecked
    Limit to 25 items Selected by most recently added.
    Live updating checked
    Or you could have a rule such as date added in the last x weeks.

  • Recently Added folder lost.

    The 'Recently Added' folder has been accidentally deleted... Can I retrieve this folder? Ive tried reinstalling Itunes 7.

    g_fUnk,
    The recently added list is a smart playlist.
    Go to File-> Add New Smart Playlist
    Recently added is configured as "Date added" "is in the last" "2" "weeks" for the smart playlist selection rules by default.
    Make sure live updating is checked.
    Thank you,
