Has the ability to select multiple photos quickly by dragging your finger been removed in IOS 5?

In iOS 4, multiple photos could be quickly selected in the Photos app by selecting one, holding done your finger and dragging across all the others you wished to select.  This was a tremendous timesaver when importing or deleting large numbers of photos instead of tapping each one individually, but it appears that this cant be done in ios 5.  Can anyone confirm?

Can I bring this to the top of someone's list by posting this reply? I really miss this feature too!

  • Entourage has the ability to have multiple identities, can Mail do this?

    In Enttourage, you can have multiple email users in the same local user account, and you can switch identities to access the different email account. This is really useful if multiple people share a login, but want to have access to their own email...
    Eudora had a similar trick, you could copy the settings, then change them for each user, then the user just dbl clicks their settings file and has access to their own email account....
    Does Mail.app have similar capabilities?
    Thanks in advance

  • How to see full size images when selecting multiple photos

    In the Photos app, I click to view a photo and it shows up full screen like it used to.  But now when I try to select multiple photos to upload to an email by hitting the send-to button at the lower left, suddenly all the photos are thumbnails at the top and a host of options fill the screen where the full-sized image used to be.  Without full size previews I can't tell what photos in a series are really the better ones.  Is there a way in iOS 8.1.1 to flip through your photos full screen and only select a few?  It seems like this worked before but now this function has been removed?  Thanks

    Thanks for your answer. I think you are correct.
    I did discover that when entering the first letter of a keyword in the box, a list comes up with suggestions.  Frequently that list is only of the keywords that begin with the letter I entered.  Once in a while I can get the entire list but I don't know how I do it.  It seems intermittent but I suspect it is not. Any idea how that happens? Thanks again.

  • Selecting multiple photos

    I used to be able to print multiple prints, N-up style, from an album I made by selecting them all by holding down the shift key and clicking on all desired photos, then selecting print, N-up, and number per page. Now in iPhoto 6 when I try to select multiple photos, and shift click doesn't work, and choosing 'select all' from the pull down menu doesn't work either. All I can get it to do is print multiple copies of the SAME photo (not desired).
    HELP!!!! thanks

    Apple-click is the key combo to multiple select, shift-click gathers all the files between two points...
    However, being unable to select photos is often because the Helvetica font has been disabled. Check that it is working normally using the Font Book.

  • I lost the ability to see multiple pages on launchpad

    i lost the ability to see multiple pages on launchpad - now I am not sure how to get to some of my icons....

    It sounds as though the photos have become corrupted. Try turning off the Sync Photos and letting a Sync take place. Once it has completed, turn Sync Photos back on and resync.

  • Lost functionality for selecting multiple photos?

    In iOS previous to 5 I could go into my imported photos, choose select, then tap, hold and drag my finger across multiple photos to select a whole page very quickly. This functionality seems to be gone in iOS 5 and each individual photo needs to be tapped -- one by one. This is a serious step back for those who import many photos from their camaras and then want to clean out the imported photos quickly. Can anyone confirm this functionality is still there and perhaps I am not seeing how to do it?

    I don't whether it was possible prior to iOS 5 (I'm not aware that it was), but I don't appear to be able to do it in iOS 5

  • How do I add the same description to multiple photos in the new photos app

    How do I add the same description to multiple photos? I could do this in iPhoto but I do not see a way to do it in Photos for OS X. This is a handy feature to have.

    This link asks the same question,  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6994338?searchText=How%20do%20I%20add%20a%2 0description%20to%20multiple%20photos?
    Someone shows the method to use AppleScript/ Automator to make Photos add the same description to multiple photos. I just opened up AppleScript editor and poked around the Dictionary for Photos and saw we have access to GPS longitude,latitude and altitude. So by using a third party app/web page to get those values, an Apple Script could be used to batch add the info to selected photos. That being said, I'm really busy these days and lack time to write scripts and migrate to photos.

  • How do I select multiple photos from iPhoto and upload them to a Facebook album?

    I have transferred ALL my photos from my iPhone into my Mac. They are now in iPhoto. I recently created an album and I want to put the photos from iPhoto into it, but not all the photos. I have quite a lot of photos to put in, and I don't know how to select multiple photos and put them in the album. Help me please!

    Create  an album in the left hand pane of iPhoto and drag the 4 photos into it.  Open the albume and select all four photos and click on the Share button.  Next select Email and go from there.

    Hello Tiggertiffany,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you need to select multiple items on iCloud.com then you can use the common procedure to select multiple items by either holding Command or Shift on your keyboard.
    To select multiple files or folders, hold down the Command (⌘) key, then click the items.
    To select multiple files or folders that are listed together, click the first item you want to select, hold down the Shift key, then click the last item.

  • [Aperture 3] Lost Ability to keyword multiple photos

    I hope the title was somewhat descriptive without being too long...
    Anyway, I'm a fairly committed used of Keywords, or tags. (In fact, moreso than the built in metadata which I could probably use more appropriate, but that's a post for a different day...)
    I'm pretty behind on sorting, rating, tagging my photos, and started work on catching up this past week. I immediately noticed that where I used to be able to select multiple photos in the browser, and then 1) remove unwanted keywords in bulk and/or 2) apply keywords in bulk to multiple photos, I can no longer do so.
    I've restarted Aperture, as well as my computer in case something in the DB was hung, but neither seems to make a difference. I haven't changed any settings in Aperture. So...?
    Any thoughts/ideas on what may be going on, or more importantly, how to rectify, and I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
    thanks

    UPDATE:
    It wasn't until I posted this that I found another discussion thread on the same topic - THE FIX:: Somehow EDIT\PRIMARY ONLY got selected, and unchecking that fixed the issue.
    Sorry for extra spam on the boards here - moderator may delete.
    thanks!

    Hi Ron
    Open Organizer and press Ctrl+K to bring up preferences.
    Along the bottom row of buttons try clicking the one to the left “Restore Default Settings”
    Close the program and re-open it. See if that works.

  • Selecting Multiple Photos in iPhoto

    I just purchased my first mac and I'm having trouble learning a few things...
    1) I can't select multiple photos in iPhoto to upload to walgreens.com to have them print etc..
    2) If I transfer photos from my camera to my mac, do I have to duplicate them to iPhoto and my picture file? If I don't copy them from iPhoto to my normal picture folder I can't seem to find the pictures from 3rd party upload sites.
    3) Is there a stinking "home page" button anywhere here when using the internet browser?
    sorry for the non iPhoto toss in

    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    1) I can't select multiple photos in iPhoto to upload to walgreens.com to have them print etc..
    There are many, many ways - probably the easiest and most general is to flag the photos you want to upload then make a new smart album where photo is flagged, select all the photos in the new album and export them to a folder and upload from the folder
    I recommend that you go to www.apple.com and take the tutorials listed on the right side of the page - they will save you a great deal of time in the future
    2) If I transfer photos from my camera to my mac, do I have to duplicate them to iPhoto and my picture file? If I don't copy them from iPhoto to my normal picture folder I can't seem to find the pictures from 3rd party upload sites.
    No - click here for a discussion of safely and easily accessing your photos.
    3) Is there a stinking "home page" button anywhere here when using the internet browser?
    At the right end of the address window there is a yellow left facing arror - click it to return to the first page you opened (or the page you marked for snap back)
    Again it will help a lot to take the Apple tutorials

  • Elements 3.0, select multiple photos to process

    In Elements 3.0 is there a way to select multiple photos that are open and then resize them to the same size, for example, or adjust the brightness on all the the photos at once? Thanks.

    Try the "File Browser" in the Editor.  I'm pretty sure you can batch resize;  I'm not sure about adjusting the brightness.
