How to select a group of icons in a folder?

This may seem dumb, but I'm a new Mac (OS X) user. In windows I used to be able to shift-click a group of adjacent icons within a folder to select them, in order to copy them etc. On my Mac, I can only seem to do this in list or column view, and as a visually orientated person, I don't find this helpful - I want to see the icons I'm selecting. How do I do this?
Thanks,

From the Help menu 'selecting items':
+Click to select a single item. Drag to select a group of items.+
+Press the Shift key and click other items to include them in the selection. Click a selected item to deselect it.+
+To select multiple items in a list that are not next to one another, press the Command key and click the items you want. Click a selected item again to deselect it.+

How to select a group of photos on iMovie? HELP!

I'm making an iMovie slideshow and I need to delete a big group of pictures that I accidentally put in it. How can I do this without deleting them one by one by one? THANK YOU!

This isn't working. So I click on one (and the yellow outline comes up) and then I hold down the control key (is it the command key maybe?) and drag with my mouse until I get to the last one and let go? That's not working. It's not selecting any more than the first one. hmm

How to select header group with detailed data in one SQL

Dear,
I would like to have a little help from you. My goal is to create a view where data must be in appropriate format. In this format i would like to have for each group one header.
I have 3 tables which they ar connected to each other (representing hierachical data where financial plan breaks across different groups).
CRM_PLAN
CRM_PLAN_ID
DATE
AMOUNT
CRM_PLAN_PE
CRM_PLAN_PE_ID
TITLE
AMOUNT
CRM_PLAN_ID (ref key to CRM_PLAN.CRM_PLAN_ID)
CRM_PLAN_MONTH
CRM_PLAN_MONTH_ID
YEAR
MONTH
AMOUNT
CRM_PLAN_PE_ID (foreign key to CRM_PLAN_PE.CRM_PLAN_PE_ID)
Data looks like:
CRM_PLAN
CRM_PLAN_ID | DATE | AMOUNT
1 | 01.01.2012 | 500
2 | 01.02.2012 | 200
CRM_PLAN_PE
CRM_PLAN_PE_ID |TITLE | AMOUNT | CRM_PLAN_ID
1 | Organization 1 |100 | 1
2 | Organization 2 |400 | 1
3 | Organization 3 |200 | 2
CRM_PLAN_MONTH
CRM_PLAN_MONTH_ID | YEAR | MONTH | AMOUNT | CRM_PLAN_PE_ID
1 | 2012| 1 | 60 |1
2 | 2012| 2 | 40 |1
3 | 2012| 1 | 350 |2
4 | 2012| 2 | 50 |2
5 | 2012| 1 | 200 |3
I would like view which would return data like:
MONTH | AMOUNT
Organization 1 |null
1 | 60
2 | 40
Organization 2 | null
1 | 350
2 | 50
Organization 3 | null
1 | 200
The main question is hot to write an sql as source for view to insert before each group a row with title column value from table CRM_PLAN_PE. Is that even possible? Maybe you could suggest me some other method.
View will be used in oracle form where will be possible to edit data - I will arrange that through insted of trigger.

Igor

The main question is hot to write an sql as source for view to insert before each group a row with title column value from table CRM_PLAN_PE. Is that even possible? Maybe you could suggest me some other method. So, you want to have 2 different kinds of rows in the output:
(1) "parent" or "master" rows containing data from crm_plan_pe, such as
MONTH          AMOUNT
==============     ======
Organization 1(2) "child" or "detail" rows containing data from crm_plan_month, such as
MONTH          AMOUNT
==============     ======
1          60Sure, you can do that.
One way is to do a UNION of 2 separate queries: (1) to generate just the parent rows, (2) to generate just the child rows.
You could also join the 2 tables and use GROUP BY GROUPING SETS. The super-aggregate rows would be the parent rows.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved (it looks like crm_plan is not involved in this problem), and also post the results you want from that data. You need to post this whether or not you want SQL code in reply. The people who want to help you want to provide good answers, and that means they want to re-create the probelm and try their ideas.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

Hi
In the context tab , create 2 context attributes ca_attr1 and ca_attr2   of type WDY_BOOLEAN under a context node cn_node
now in ur Layout , bind the ENABLE property of CheckBoxGroup UI Element with this attribute ca_attr1
bind the ENABLE property of CheckBox UI Element with this attribute ca_attr2
create a action for ur Checkbox , for the OnToggle property of ur checkbox
in OnactionToggle , check if ca_attr2 is 'X' , set ca_attr2 to ' ' ( for disable)
this can be done by code wizard , press control +f7 and use read/set context attributes , use get_attribute and set_attribute methods
// if ca_attr2 is 'X'
DATA lo_nd_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_cn_node TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.

How to Select each check box values in a group of records

Hi,
I have a requirement in forms 10g. In that form there are 10 records are displaying each record has one check box is there if i click the check box on record number one and record number three and do some changes in the text field(adjustment field is number data type) then finally I want to see the total on one field called total amount.
In this my question is how to select particular records in a group of records? and finally these selected records are inserted into one table.
Because I am not able to fetch these records at a time.
Is there any Array to define a record group to fetch each of them individually for example Rec[1],Rec[2]...like that if yes please suggest me the steps how to do this.
Thanks in advance
Prasanna

I'm sorry, but i didn't get your requirement in detail.
Do you want to do the summing of the selected records in forms ? Or do you just want to know which records are selected and then process them?
If you want to process the selected records in sql you could use an object-type to store the list of id's (of whatever primary key you use), loop over the block to fill it, and then afterwards process them.
For this approach, first create an object-type in the database:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE ID_LIST AS TABLE OF NUMBER;
/Then, in forms you could do something like this to fill a list of id's:
DECLARE
lIds ID_LIST:=ID_LIST();
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('MYBLOCK');
FIRST_RECORD;
LOOP
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='NEW';
    IF :BLOCK.CHECKBOXITEM="CHECKEDVALUE" THEN
      lIds.EXTEND(1);
      lIds(lIds.COUNT):=:BLOCK.PRIMARYKEYITEM;
    END IF;
    EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD='TRUE';
    NEXT_RECORD;
END LOOP;
-- Now you can use the object-list in SQL like :
INSERT INTO MYNEWTABLE (cols..)
SELECT (cols..)
    FROM MYOLDTABLE
   WHERE ID IN (SELECT COLUMN_VALUE FROM TABLE(lIds));

How do I easily select a group of emails in Apple Mail if I want to delete them? In other words, what do I select if I mark the first and last email to delete everything in between? Thanks.

I have this same issue. I have over 100 email addresses that I need to add to a group. The issue is not making the group, it's getting the email addresses from Mail to Contacts.
Dragging the email addresses does nothing. You can copy the addresses, but there's nowhere to put them. You can make a VCF for an email address, but then you have to find all of them to add them to the group. How do you automate this?!
I'm astounded that there's so little support for such a common issue for which people have been asking for years.

I want to invite 12 people to a birthday party. I have created a group called "Centerville Gang" I want to send just one message to all of these people. I would think there would be a way to select this group as the recipients once instead of doing 12 searches through my contacts to get all of the members in the group but I cant seem to figure it out. I must be missing something. Can you help?

Contact groups do not allow for group emailing. they are just an organizational tool for the contacts list.

How To Select All Songs In An Album To Play Them?

How can I easily select all songs in one album to play them?
Now I have to click the checkbox for each individual song. Surely, there is a shortcut for this??? I keep the library sorted by album. And, no, I am not going to do playlists.
And, by the way, why isn't there a detailed manual showing how to use the product?

If you turn on the Browser while in that list view, then the album art continues to display when you select a single album from the browser pane.
The browser has three columns. The right hand column lists the albums without album art. I found no way to change that behavior. Yes, I can search for the album by name, but that's not what I would normally do.
The album art continues to be displayed in the area below the Browser.
Why are you closing the Browser? You can navigate away from the window with the Browser in it and edit data on any of your other tracks. When you come back, the album you selected will still be selected, and it will stop playing at the end.
(I'm also not sure what you mean by "go back to the Library". When you turn on the Browser, you're still in your Library; it's just a different view mode. Are you navigating to a different playlist?)
I close the browser so I can see the list of tracks and albums in the library. With the browser open and one album selected (to play it), it is the only album visible in the library. I found no way to "navigate away from the window with the browser" - the browser is the only view of the library available at that point. I am not using playlists at all (except for syncing with my iPhone and occasionally to burn a CD) so, no, I am not navigating to a different (or any) playlist.
Aha. That's easy enough to fix: create a playlist (called "Editing" or something) containing all of your music. (You could make it a smart playlist, using the rule "Date added is after 1/1/1900"). Then, while leaving the Browser open in your main library window, you can navigate to your Editing playlist to do all your editing. Then your album will remain selected, and keep playing, in the main library.
iTunes's functionality is dependent on playlists. There are solutions to the problems you are having, but trying to solve problems without using any playlists is like asking for help with organizing things on the Desktop without wanting to use folders.
Here's another solution: Leave everything checked, as I said above. Create an empty playlist, and tell Party Shuffle to use that empty playlist as its source. Then, if you highlight tracks, control-click them, and choose "Play next in Party Shuffle," Party Shuffle will add those tracks and play only them, then stop (because it will try to draw the next track from the empty playlist, and not find anything). I just tested this; it works fine.
Sorry, but I have no idea what you are talking about. After messing around for 20 minutes or more, trying the iTunes (pitiful) help, and finding nothing usable about "Party Shuffle" (the so called help describes things I was unable to locate -- no Party Shuffle playlist, no source pop-up menu, etc.), I quit.
Step-by-step:
1) In Preferences > General, make sure the "Party Shuffle" checkbox is checked in the "Show:" options.
2) Close Preferences, then select the Party Shuffle icon in the Playlists column on the left of your iTunes window. It's probably populated with random songs from your library at this point.
3) Create a new playlist (command-N), but don't add any songs to it. Name it "Empty" or something similar.
4) In the Party Shuffle playlist, in the lower left-hand corner, there is a drop-down menu labeled "Source". Select your Empty playlist from that menu. (iTunes will probably warn you that the playlist you selected is empty.) Note that the Party Shuffle playlist depopulates, because it is drawing its music from an empty playlist.
5) Return to your library, highlight an album (or any group of songs), and control-click any of the tracks. Select "Play next in Party Shuffle" from the contextual menu that appears.
Party shuffle will play the tracks you selected. When it gets to the end of the selection, it will try to draw a random track from the Empty playlist, and fail, and stop playing. You can then continue to edit song information in your library, or navigate to the Party Shuffle playlist if you want see what's playing and look at the album art that's being played.
This solution does exactly what you asked for.

I just upgraded to a new MacBook and my wife is inheriting my old MacBook Air. How can I change the her MacBook Air to now be fundamentally hers? That is, so the House Icon under Users folder is her name and not mine? Also the default AppleID for purchase stubbernly remains my own.

You do not mention it, but I will assume you are running OS 10.9.1.
Go to: Apple menu / System Preferences / Users & Groups. Click the padlock and enter your password.
Click the + (plus sign) and set up a new account for your wife. You have to enter a bunch of info. And then create the correct Login Options. Automatic login does not require a password from the selected user.
When that is done, verify the account works by restarting the computer and login as your wife.
Make sure that any applications in your own Users folder that will be needed are moved to the Applications folder in your wife's Users folder.
Now go back to Users and Groups, click the padlock and authenticate, select your own account, and hit the - (minus sign). This step cannot be reversed, so you might want to wait a few days before doing it.
When your wife is logged in, the App Store will know.

HT3529 How do I send a group text, I have set up groups in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually

How do I send a group text message, I have groups set up in my gmail account but can't figure out how to send a group text without adding them all individually ?

You can use iCloud:
Step 1. Log into www.icloud.com using your Apple ID.
Step 2. Click on Contacts and then click the groups ribbon (the red icon with two people) which is on the left-hand page when viewing All Contacts.
Step 3. The left page changes to a list of Groups (only those groups stored in iCloud are shown). Click the + button at the bottom to add a new group.
Step 4. Type a name for the new group and press Enter to save it. To change it after this, double-click its entry in the groups list.
Step 5. To add contacts to the new group, click on the All Contacts group and locate the first person to be added (you can use the search bar to find them quickly).
Step 6. Drag their name on top of the new group and drop it to add it to that group.
Step 7. To add more contacts, repeat steps 5 and 6, but you can add multiple contacts at once by pressing Ctrl (on a PC) or Command (on a Mac) and clicking on each contact in the list that you wish to select. Then, drag one of the highlighted names to the new group and they will all be added.
It's possible to add names to more than one group, and you can create as many groups as you like.
Step 8. Launch the Contacts app on your device (iPhone, iPod touch or iPad) and you should see the new group appear almost immediately - as long as you have an internet connection.
Until Apple builds in a function to create groups directly within the Contacts app, this is the best way to do it.
