Somehow I seem to have lost my "recently added" option on the playlists that displays on the left side of iTunes, so I cannot check which items (songs mostly) I added. How can I get this back please?
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
Select File/New Smart Playlist and set as follows:
Do not put a tick in the box named "Limit to".
At this time, you almost certainly do not need to put a tick in the box named "Match only ticked items", so ignore it.
You will notice that some of the "next" options change as you set the first ones. This is normal. Also, if you wish to have recently added for longer than 2 weeks, feel free to set you own choice. (I think 2 weeks is the setting Apple used. Yes, my Recently Added disappeared too!)

The fiend has you covered, but if you want to confirm the initial rules for this and other original smart playlists see Restore Original Smart Playlists.

Oh Thank You so much for helping me solve this issue. I am profoundly grateful to you. although the playlist listed itself (labeled itself) as "untitled playlist" instead of "recently added", I can work with it no problem. I tried renaming it but could not do so, but all the recently added songs and videos are automatically imported into this new list. I am happy now. Thank you once again!
Click on the playlist and press F2 to rename...

I lost my "recently added" after an update and had no clue how to add it back. Thanks so much for the instructions.
