how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

Do you mean items in Finder?
To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
- click the top item you want
- hold down Shift
- click the bottom item you want
The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
To select random items :
- click the first item
- hold down the Command key
- click any more items anywhere in the list
Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • How can I highlight more than one pic at a time?

    First of all, THANKS for anyone that may answer since APPLE obviously has no desire to get off their ***** and help their customers.
    About ten days ago I was prompted to install apples new operating system. So of course I clicked OK, idiot that I am!
    Now I'm stuck with this new piece of **** operating system that I wish I could uninstall.
    ANYWAY,
    I upload a lot of pix for stuff I sell on EBay, sometimes 3-400 at a time. When I delete photos it's usually 1,000 at a time, and I assure you I'm not exaggerating. Up until now I was able to touch the END pic and swipe the whole horizontal row with two fingertips and the whole row of 7 would get checked. With the new ios7 I am unable to do it anymore (yet ANOTHER reason I don't want this 'improved' OS).
    Does ANYONE know of a way to highlight more than one pic at a time?? Remember the old windows system where you could click one pic, then hit SHIFT and click a lower one and it would highlight them all, in between, for a quick delete?
    There MUST be a way to delete, or rather highlight (or CHECK) more than one pic at a time? Anyone?
    THANKS, Rich

    Yes, I know the photos stored on the device... But which app are you accessing the photos with? Which app do you want to be able to highlight more than one pic at a time in?
    There are literally thosands of apps that access the iOS Photo Library - which one(s) are you using?

  • ITunes 8.1 Can't Seem to do More Than One Thing at a Time

    I upgraded to 8.1 and now, rather than a "faster" iTunes experience as was advertised on Apple's website, iTunes can't seem to do more than one thing at a time without locking up the application completely. For instance, when trying to download podcasts if I choose to hit more than one "Get" button at a time iTunes will freeze up until the first podcast has completely downloaded. During this time I cannot access any other screen in iTunes at all.
    This freezing of iTunes also occurred while I was trying to sync my iPhone 3G. I received the Calendar sync error that a few other people have mentioned on the forum and wanted to turn off Calendar sync (since I don't use it and don't understand why iTunes turned it on by default, apparently, after the upgrade) but I had to wait for my iPhone 3G to completely sync before I could gain access to any of the tabs in the iPhone sync window.
    So, basically it seems like the new version of iTunes (8.1) really doesn't like to be bothered while it is trying to copy data from one place to another.
    Any ideas?

    I'm using Vista Ultimate 64-bit and iTunes 8.1 installed OK, but required a restart of the entire OS after upgrading. It takes forever to launch, clicking on certain items (like applications) causes itunes to freeze for about 15-30 seconds before it continues (this is actually something that's been there since the introduction of the app store), I've had to switch my library view to LIST and avoid any sort of album art. Using album art to view my library causes iTunes to be extremely, obnoxiously unresponsive.
    The best part - plugging in my iPhone to sync it... iTunes simply sits there dumbly - doesn't even recognize that I've plugged my iPhone in. So now I can't even sync. QUALITY product, quality. So the app I'm FORCED to use to manage my phone doesn't even work after upgrading. Outstanding.
    I'm terrified of uninstalling and reinstalling... the last time I did that with iTunes it jacked my library up... it "lost" all of my music... basically it disassociated all of the music (even the stuff purchased through the itunes store) with the index file so I had to re-import EVERY song and delete the duplicate entry.
    I searched a ton of forums looking for any clues as to how I could improve performance... All I run into is apple fan boys flaming any and all forums to the point of PC *****, no Apple *****, and so forth. Extremely unhelpful.
    The fact is this - if I wasn't forced to use iTunes to manage my non-jailbroken iPhone 3G, then I'd dump it completely. It is a horrible app. Why punish the customers that haven't gone the route of "jail breaking" their iPhones?
    One individual on one of the forums suggested that blue screens, and all the other random errors, including slow performance were due to a lack of RAM. I have 4GB of RAM on my machine I can run a virtual Fedora core 9 machine and a virtual WinXP machine on my Vista x64 box and still not have any performance issues with those two virtuals in the background sucking up system resources, yet with nothing open and less than 50% of my 4GB of RAM in use iTunes performance is abysmal. I have not run into any other application on my Vista machine that performs as badly as iTunes.
    And Apple is touting a "64-bit" version of iTunes - it isn't. The applications the 64-bit installer installs are all 32-bit.
    So, I'm searching as the two of you are for an answer to horrible performance of iTunes.
    Even exiting out of iTunes takes a day and a half... "saving itunes library".... And my "library" isn't that big.

    It's also wise to crop the photos to the print size you're ordering so you have control over what portion of the image gets printed.  Otherwise, the image will be scaled so the smaller dimension fills the paper cropping off some of the oither dimension.

    How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    With your Mail app open and the listing of the messages, tap Edit at the top right.  Then check each circle on the left side of the messages to delete.  When you have checked those to delete, tap Trash at the lower right.
    Next tap Mailboxes upper left, under accounts select the account, then for the account tap Trash.  Select Edit upper right, and at the bottom, Delete All, and confirm Delete All and all will be removed at one time.

  • How do I order more than one book at a time?

    I created 10 photo books I would like to order, but when I go to place my order I can only place one book at a time.  I do not want to place 10 different orders.  How do I order more than one book at a time?

    You can't.  Only multiples of the same book can be ordered at a time.  Each individiual book must be ordered separately.

They were in the CC of the email I received. is there anyway to drag them all into an address book group all at once. I hate having to add and address and then having to find the address and then add it to a group. thanks
    no, there is no way to do that, sorry. you need to control-click on every email address one at a time and select "add to address book". if an email is in the address book already that option will not be there.
