How can I select just the clips, or just the transitions?

If I have a timeline with 50 or more clips (or still shots, in my case) with cross dissolves between each one, I would like to select just the clips, or just the transitions, but not both. How do I do this?
Why? I am creating a video with hundreds of stills and a few video clips, and occasiionally need to change the duration of all stills at the same time (from 3 seconds to 4, for example). Or, if I want all of the cross dissolves to last 1:15 instead of 1:00, it would be nice to select and change them all at once. However, in both cases, I can't figure out how to select all 50 without having to Command-click 50 times.
Any ideas you have will be appreciated.
Bart

To perform the same duration change on just the transitions (cross dissolves, in this example), this technique will work:
Open timeline index.
Enter "cross" in the search box (or whatever transition you're wanting to change).
Select all cross dissolves in list (click one, then type Command-A).
Click the time strip in the top of the timeline area.
All of the transitions in the list should now be selected in the timeline.
Control-D to change duration.
Enter new duration.
Hit Return.
I hope this saves someone all of the time I spent on it today. I'm still ahead, though, thanks to Tom's help. This saved litterally hundreds of Command-clicks.

How can I select more than one song from the search results?

I want to create playlists based on certain words in the song title. For example, I may want to create a playlist of all my songs with LOVE in the title.
Doing the search is easy, but I can't select more than one song at a time. Is there any way in iTunes 12 for Windows to do this? I found an answer in iTunes for Mac, and it basically says to "un-check "Search Entire Library." " but I don't see that option in iTunes for Windows.
Here is the link to that question: how can i select more than one song from drop down search bar
I hope some Windows user can help me out.

Found the "Search Entire Library" option - click on the small (VERY small for my eyesight) down arrow next to the magnifying glass. Also need to select "Filter by: Songs", and then the songs in the main window show the results.
I'm going to leave this up on the board because 1) in case someone else has this question, and 2) I don't know how to delete it anyway.

How can I select only a small part of the image to clone or edit etc?

I want to select part of the image to clone is, and just edit the selected part. I know i can do this on photoshop but how do i do it on Aperture?

You use the "Retouche" brush in Aperture and set it to "clone".
Option-Click on the location you want to clone from to select a source, and then brush over the location where you want to clone to. The cloned region will follow the shape of the brushed area. You do not lasso the shape to to copy and paste it like in Photoshop.
For example: Duplicating a penguin: The sourcepoint has been set to the beak of the second penguin, and then I brushed along the path where I want to penguin clone to appear.
If I brush the whole area eventually the penguin will be copied completely. You'll have to experiment a bit with the brush size and softnees to ensure that the cloned object will blend in.

I have a lot of movies on my itunes library,when I sync my ipad2, how can I select which movies to load on the ipad?

How do I choose which movies to load into my ipad from my itunes library? Seems like everytime I sync, it loads up all the movies I have in my itunes library.

When connected to your computer's iTunes, select the iPad 'device' on the left-hand side of iTunes, and then on the right-hand side on its films/movies tab just select the films that you want to sync and then click the Sync button at the bottom.

How can I select and delete rows based on the value in one column?

I searched through the discussion board, and found a thread on deleting blank rows, but not sure how to modify it to work with my issue.
I have put together a rather complicated spreadsheet for designing control systems, it calculates parts needed based on check boxes selected in a second spreadsheet.
Since not all systems require all parts there are many rows that have a 0 quantity value, I would like to select these rows and delete them once I have gone through the design phase (checking off required features on a separate sheet).
I like the way the other thread I found will gather all the blank rows at the bottom without changing the order of the rows with data in them.
I don't understand exactly how the formula in the other thread works well enough to modify it to look for a certain column.
I hope I made myself clear enough here, to recap, I would like to sort the rows based on a zero value in one (quantity) column, move them (the zero quantity rows) to the bottom of the sheet, and then delete the rows with a zero quantity (I can delete them manually, but would like to automate the sorting part).
Thanks for any help anyone can provide here.

I apologize but, as far as I know, Numbers wasn't designed by Ian Flemming.
There is no "this column will be auto-destructing after two minutes"
You will have to use your fingers to delete it.
I wish to add a last comment :
if your boss has the bad habit to look over your shoulder, it's time to find an other one.
As I am really pig headed, it's what I did. I became my own boss so nobody looked over my shoulder.

How can I select which photo is used on the cover of an i-Photo book?

I have created a photobook, and can do most things I need, but the photo selected by Autoflow for the cover is not the one I want. Can anyone tell me how to change it?

You can drag any of your photos to the coverpage.
Click onto the title page to select it and open the Photos Browser window, then drag the photo you want to use onto the title page.

How can I select from drop-down list and jumping to selected subform?

I using LC Designer ES2 vers 9. Developing XDP. How can I Select from a drop-down list the appropriate selected subform (jumping to the selected subform on the page)?
drop-down list...A (jump to subform1)
                         B (jump to subform2)
                         C (jump to subform3)
subform1
subform2
subform3
....end of form

Hi,
you cannot set focus on a subform but on a field, as only interactive objects can be focussed.
From a dropdowns exit event the script will look this way:
switch (this.rawValue) {
          case "A" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;
          case "B" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;

How can I select multiple clips in the event browser?

I can't seem to figure out how to do something that should be pretty simple. I want to select multiple clips in the event browser that aren't next to each other. Right now it's only letting me select the two clips with every other clip in between. Is there a keyboard function that will allow me to deselect the clips in between while leaving the two on the outside selected? In Apple's finder you can do this with files by holding down shift-command while clicking on the ones you want. Or is there away to rearrange clips in the event browswer?
I'd like to be able to create a multicam clip, but there is always going to be other media in between the clips I want to combine, so how can I select only the clips I want?
Thanks!

Holding the Command key should let you select non-contiguous items, just as in the Finder.

I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

Hello everyone,
This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
I'm new to FCPX.
I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
glitch remains.
Can you please tell me:
a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck? ... and
b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page.

When printing a list in Address Book, how can I select more than the default Attributes and keep them selected when I print again? I want to print ALL information for contacts so I have email address, notes, phone, company, title, etc all on one page. I don't want to have to check off an additional 5 or 6 attributes each time I print out contact information. Is there a way to change the default setting for printing lists, so it is not just "phone," "photo," and "job title?"

I have a user who wants to do this same thing. I did not find any way either to default the attributes to anything other than what you see the first time. Seems like such a trivial thing, hard to believe they do not allow it. I did find a program for this called iDress but I can't seem to download it from any links on the Internet. Not sure if it is free or not, but it was recommended by a link on the Mac support site.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

imessage on my iMac has created two iMessage account both asking for Apple ID....and no option to - (delete) one of the two duplicate accounts....how can I delete one of them it just bothers me due to sign in issues....when signed into one it signs out the other and goes inactive I just wanted to delete one of them so this issue doesn't happen....why doesn't it give the option to delete ONLY these two accounts

1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to.
