Sync most recently created playlist in a playlist folder

I have a playlist folder, and each playlist is a different week's Billboard chart. Each playlist is named by the date of the chart, ie "Country Chart 02-28-11." I'd like to have the most recent one sync automatically to my iPhone. Is there a trick to doing that?
I thought I could create a smart playlist that would always be a copy of the most recent playlist, and sync that, but I haven't figured out how to do that. Any suggestions?

Your iPhone was probably set to sync your old playlist but haven't for the newly created one.
Plug your iPhone to your computer, select it in iTunes and then select the music tab. In this tab, look at which playlist is selected to be sync with your phone.

Most recently created row

We have an error_log table which will log errors after the execution of a stored proc.
We have a create_time field which stores the time of creation of the new record.
How can i view the most recently created row? Is the below mentioned query(courtesy of OTN) Ok? Or are there any other better options?
select err_msg from (select err_msg from err_log order by create_time desc)
where rownum=1 ;

That seems to be quite expensive

"Most Recently Added" Playlist syncing issue

I add music to my iTunes library pretty slowly, so I created this smart playlist to replace the default Recently Added playlist:
http://www.cubeupload.com/files/45a800smartplaylist.png
In iTunes, this shows me the the 90 most recent Music items I added to my library. On my iPod Touch 2nd Gen, however, it shows me a seemingly random list of songs in my library which were synced to the iPod.
Any ideas?

Hi Corey,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The conditions for your Smart Playlist are specific to the following:
iTunes will pick "90" items, with the parameter of *"most recently added"* - the "most recently added" condition is based of date, too my knowledge it does not encompass time though. - So, if you added more than 200 items and they all share the same date, then iTunes will choose 90 of those 200 items randomly.
Other than that, there may be a metadata error in your files which is causing this issue.
Regards,
Peter.

Most Recent Purchased Playlist- How to?

Hey gang-
In iTunes on my desktop iMac, my main Music pane is organized by "Date Added", with most recently purchased music at the top. I purchase my music almost daily from the iTunes store, but almost equally from my iPhone, iPad, and iMac.
My question is, how do I sort the music on my iPhone the same way I do on my iMac? i.e. by date purchased, and with the most recent at top? I'm referring to all purchased music- not just that purchased on my iPhone. I've tried in both the Music and iTunes apps on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be any way to sort by date purchased. By Artist, Song, or Album yes, but not by date purchased as I do in iTunes on my iMac.
Any good way to do this? I know I could create a Playlist on my Mac and sync each time I buy music, but all I want to do is sort the music that is already on my iPhone by date purchased- that really shouldn't require a playlist and syncing.
Thanks for any tips!
Dave

You delete the same way as IOS 5. I have no issue deleting music with IOS 6 by swiping left to right to delete.

Create Playlist folder without auto-sync.

Hello everyone. Here is the situation:
I have iPod touch and I'm using two my own computers (and this computers are in different cities) to transfer music to iPod.
Because of this I had to turn off auto-sync feature so I could transfer music without losing it from iPod.
Anyway, I have a lot of music and I like everything to be organized, so the playlist feature is for me.
But. I also have a lot of playlists, during my first ever connection to PC I was able to put some of these playlists into playlist folder (because auto-sync was on).
I find it very useful. But when I connected to another PC, being forced to turn off auto-sync, I discovered the unpleasant thing - I couldn't create playlist folders anymore.
Is there a way to overcome this? Is there a way to turn on auto-sync - so I could create playlist folders - without losing those tracks that are not in iTunes but are in iPod?
Thank you in advance. Cheers.

Thank you for your answer. Still. I see no logical reason for that restriction, I mean, playlist folder isn't such a big (but very convenient) deal to make it available for manual "syncers". I feel like a criminal using manual music management: so many restrictions. =(
Well, I guess the only thing I can do is get them transfering (iPod2PC) software to copy all the music from iPod on my often used computer and turn auto sync on then.

Calendar Syncing most recent change

Syncing calendars on iPhone 3GS with Outlook 2007 via iTunes. Is there a setting that will direct the sync to select the most recent calendar entry and/or change? For example, a planned event exists on both calendars. If I change the event date in Outlook, when I then sync the iPhone with Outlook, the original event date will be restored in Outlook as it was listed on the iPhone calendar, and the new, changed date will also be shown on both calendars. I need the iPhone to recognize the more recent change in Outlook and accept that change. I also need the reverse process to work, with changes made on the iPhone calendar to be reflected in Outlook following the sync.

The iphone is designed to work as you want it to.
Something is amiss with your individual iphone/situation.
Have you tried a reset? Restore?

"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????

Recently Added playlist issue

Every time I try to sync my Recently Added playlist to my iPhone 5, all iOS does is sync the recently added tracks that have been played...
This is pretty stupid as when it comes to buying new music, they do not sync across despite the fact they are in the playlist on my iOS.
Any solutions?
Cheers,
Liam

b The way I see it, every tune or book I add goes automatically to the "Recently Added Playlist" folder that comes default with iTunes
Yes, this is how it should work.
The Recently added Playlist is a Smart Playlist. You don't have to add anything to it. It will select songs based on the criteria in the Smart Playlist.
b Then, I move the tune or book to a folder I have created. This duplicates the tune, and teh space on my drive so far as I can tell.
No, this is not how it works.
A Playlist is simply a list of songs.
Any song can be in any/all playlists. It is still only in the library and on your computer one time(unless you import it again from the CD).
Think of it this way;
- You have a stack of CDs in your cabinet
(this is the same as the actual song files on the computer).
- You have a written list of all your CDs
(this is the same as the iTunes library).
You have another written list of recently added songs or Favorites
(this is the same as iTunes playlists).
Just because it is on your recently added list or your favorite list does not mean you have two copies of it in your CD cabinet.

I Pod Classic Recently Added Playlist

Hi, Accidently I deleted my "Recently Added" playlist folder on my I Tunes page and therefore my I Pod. Can I get a new Recently Added playlist back and have my future Recently Added tracks automatically go into this folder as they did before? Thanks

Hello Pybo,
Since the *Recently Added* playlist is simply an iTunes *Smart Playlist* you can recreate it and then resync it to your iPod.
To do this:
Go to *File -> New Smart Playlist*
Then where it says "Selected by", choose "most recently added".
You can also change the limit to how many songs they display or you can choose the number it was before. Then title the playlist if you wish and you should be good to go.

My Ipod Touch can't create a Playlist Folder in My Itunes

Anyone managed to create Playlist folder in you Ipod Touch to combine all similar Genres into 1 folder? Now my I-Touch is already having huge playlist because I can't organize it. Please Help. Thanks.

Because not all MP3s are having all this information. Another thing is, the default view of Ipod is the list of all playlists, it is very easy if you will organize all the songs base on the Artist Name (using folder) and put all your albums inside the folder. Or Folder by Genre -> inside is Folder by Artists -> and inside is By Albums. Thanks.

Open Recent for V5.5 Not Showing Most Recent

After upgrading to Pages 5.5, the Open Recent list of documents is buggy - sometimes after saving a document, the list of recent documents is updated and sometimes not. Before upgrading to Yosemite and version 5.5 of Pages, this feature worked.
Clearing the menu has not resolved this issue. Changing the Recent Items number in System Preference has not resolved this issue.
I tried to report this issue using the Apple feedback link, but the dropdown menu for version number only went up to V 5.2.
Any suggestions? Anyone else having this issue?

Any pattern? Are they the most recently created or modified? Anything in common about how they are named, or in the +dot plus three+ extensions? Are you still seeing the older version of files on the Mac compared to directly in Windows.
I've not used Windows 7 so I'm not familiar with any sharing filters that are possible. If you are still seeing older versions of files, and the ones you don't see on the Mac happen to be the most recently added to the folder, it still feels to me like you are actually connecting to a different sharepoint than what you believe... maybe one that is in an backup archive or something.
Sorry I can't be any more helpful. It's a bit mysterious.

Not Showing Most Recent Files

I've got a strange one. I've been able to network my imac to a dell laptop and they can see each other's shared directories. Tried to access an Excel file from the laptop and it didn't show the most recent file, but one that was nearly three weeks old. Is the imac caching the files anywhere? I didn't see any windows settings. Still getting used to the Mac world and didn't see any ability to refresh. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

"Recent Activity" - not always showing most recent replies

I replied to this thread in the Essbase space: hammerora equivalent
The 'Recent Activity' list for the space - Essbase - still shows the original question ('RobertAngel asked...') as the preview rather than my reply, although it does show '1 Reply'.
Is there a reason that some threads show the most recent reply in the 'Recent Activity' listing and others do not? Difficult to see quickly what's been going on in the Space. Never noticed the behavior before, personally.
Thanks!

Merging folders, most recent dated files

Does anyone know how I can merge two folders with mostly the same file names so that the most recent ones are collected into another folder...and if there are any other files not duplicated, they are added also?
I looked at FileMerge but there seems to be users saying it is unreliable. Any shareware or other applications would be appreciated.
I do not use terminal.
Thanks.

You might consider Chronosync (which I haven't used):

Is there a way to create a smart folder in iTunes, that contains the most recent (say 10) used playlists?

Is there a way to create a smart folder in iTunes, that contains the most recent (say 10) used playlists? By having this I would be three clicks (touches from what is recent).
