  • How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

    How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

    Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

  • How do you select multiple files to drag

    How do you select multiple files to drag from one folder to another? Is there a command?

    Open the folder which has the contents you want to transfer.  Press COMMAND 'A' and then all of the data should be highlited in blue.  Drag it to the new folder.
    If only certain files are to be transferred, then you have to select them (COMMAND 'A')  individually and the drag them as a group to the new location.

  • Super Basic, How do I select multiple files?

    Super Basic, How do I select multiple files?  I can click on one, but I want to select an entire group of files.  On a PC I would use the control or shift keys, or just use the mouse to draw a box around them, but nothing seems to work.

    It works here using the Shift key (after selecting the first item, hit Shift key while clicking on another). If you display your Finder windows as list or columns, it's extra easy: You click on the first item, then hit Shift and click on the last item - all of them will be selected.

  • How do you select multiple files on a macbook pro?

    Can anyone tell me how to select multiple files at one time?  I am so frustrated with the way macbook pro works that I really regret buying it.  I hate that you can't select multiple files, and that my contact stuff keeps changing.  It is certainly not like I was told...that I would never want to use a PC again.  I would not buy another apple computer.  I spent a lot of money to NOT be able to do things that I have always done with ease.  Every time I think I have something figured out, it doesn't work the next time I go to use it in another program.  If anyone has an answer to this, I would sure appreciate it. 
    And all of these so called wonderful updates to the operating system on all mac products have left me frustrated and liking my apple products far less than I did before.  On my iphone I had to make the texts just huge to even be able to see the white writing on a blue background.  Not sure who made these designs, but from my perspective, I can tell you they certainly weren't thinking about being user friendly in any way when they did it.  So disappointed in all of my devices!  I do not enjoy using my computer, ipad, or iphone even close to what I did before.

    This is some information on the Finder.

    To select multiple files you can use the shift key with the mouse if they are in a contiguous list or the CMD key with the mouse if you have breaks in that list. You can also use the mouse to drag over the files you want to select.
    The Macs are easy to use, I have used many versions of Windows, Linux and other operating systems and I find OS X is far the easiest, but that is me.
    There are many instructional videos and texts on Apples web site and if you are near to an Apple store they do classes to help.
    Hope you get used to it.

  • How can I select multiple files in the Import grid view in LR4?

    So far the only way I have discovered is to laboriously click the checkbox on each image I want to import. It seems that one should be able to select a range with one click (e.g. holding down Shift and then clicking the last image in the range) or by using a context (right-click) menu. No dice. What gives?

    I think two differeng groups of developers on two different planets designed the Library vs the Import views -- they sure are different!!
    I can answer your question because I had the same question and spent weeks clicking each individually.
    First ignore the checkboxes.  Then use click, ctrl+click, shift+click to select the thumbnails (NOT the Checkboxes, which is why I said to forget them for now!!)
    When you have selected what you want, find one of the selected photos and click its checkbox one way or the other, each click selects or deslects all the "selected" photos.

  • How to select multiple files with Trackpad

    I am new to Mac and to the Trackpad. I apologize if this has been posted.
    When I work on a Windows PC, if I want to select multiple consecutive files I can click on the first file, press and hold SHIFT and then select the last file and all files in between are selected.
    I tried that using the Trackpad and it doesn't seem to work the same way. Is there another key combination? I can select multiple files by either using SHIFT (on Picasa website for example) and then tap or by holding COMMAND and then tap each individual file. But how do I select multiple files similar to Windows, clicking first file pressing a key and clicking the last file.
    Thanks in advance for any input on this.

    If you choose 'view as list', you can use the shift-key. Select an item, press the shift-key while you press an item below and all the items between are selected.

  • How to tell if multiple files are selected when they are opened in windows

    Hello, can someone help me, my question is how to tell if multiple file selections were made when they were opened (right-click->open). Through modifying the registry I already have my Java program start up when a file with specific extension is double-clicked.
    The problem is when multiple files are opened at the same time, an instance of java program is created and run for each of the selected files. Ideally I would like it so that only one instance of java program is run, regardless of the number of selections.
    When you try it with Microsoft media player or winamp for example, it seems that only one process is created and run (I don't see many processes spawning when I watch it using task manager). Maybe this is more of Windows issue rather than Java programming issue. Any help is appreciated.

    If anybody wants to know, this can be solved by either 1) using DDE 2) using DropTarget (from Windows) 3) make a light-weight EXE dispatcher (eg. in C), and use file to have IPC between the dispatcher (which gets the filepath for each of the selections) and the java program. There can be other methods of course. Using the second option is the simplest but it requires WinXP and higher. I implemented it using option 3.. the downside of this is there's a warning message pop up when trying to open many (>20?) files at the same time by Windows. However, option 1 'seems' to have the same limitation. Having a java program created each time for each of the selections seems to be too slow, for viable option.

  • Can't select multiple files without them all opening.

    I'm trying to move multiple files from another drive after having to have my HD replaced on a recall.  Most every time I try to select the files I want to move, every one of them opens in its own window, as well as opening programs when different types of files are selected.  I then have to close all the windows before I can move the files.  This wasn't a problem before the HD was replaced and I can't figure out what is different this time.
    I've tried selecting them by clicking on the first file and holding down the shift key and selecting the last one.  This selects all of them, but also opens all of them.  I then tried holding down the Command key and selecting them one at a time,  Tedious, but still opens every one I click on.  Have tried to use the mouse to draw a box around them, but this doesn't seem to work on the Mac. 
    This is Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Please help before I go totally nuts.  Nearly there now.
    Thanks

  • How can I allow multiple file selections ?

    I used FileReference's browse function,
    But it's only can select one file at the same time.
    How can I allow multiple file selections ?
    Thanks a lot.

    You need a FileReferenceList object instead. See the Help for
    FileReferenceList, it has good examples.
