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 I select multiple items?

    Happy New Year.  I am a new Mac user.  Recently switched from Windows.  How do I select multiple rows?  In windows you can CONTROL+click to select multiple items 1 at a time and SHIFT+click to select multiple items in groups.  I figured out to do COMMAND+click on Mac to select multiples 1 at a time.  I need to delete ALOT of rows.  How do I select multiples in groups? 
    Thanks.

    KarenSelena and BobHarris have given you the direct sequences.
    You can also select multiple disjoint ranges with combinations of ⌘ (command key) click and ⇑ (shift key) click, too.
    As you use OS X, you'll find a large number of ⌘ and ⇑ and ˄ (control key) and ⌥ (option key) clicks and shortcuts available (and some were mentioned earlier), and shortcuts such as ⌘ A (select all), ⌘ Z (undo) and a whole host of other shortcuts available.

  • 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.
    Ciao.

  • 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 can I scan multiple pages to one file with MG 7120

    My printer does not have ADF. How can I scan multiple pages to one file on my MG 7120?

    Hi albabynyr,
    There is a program that comes with the printer called the IJ Scan Utility that can assist you with scanning multiple pages into a single file.  To scan using the IJ Scan Utility, please follow these steps:
    1. Start IJ Scan Utility by going to your Start menu, then selecting All Programs, then Canon Utilities, then  IJ Scan Utility (folder), then IJ Scan Utility (program).
    2. In the Canon IJ Scan Utility window that opens, click SETTINGS.... in the bottom right of the window. The Settings dialog box appears.
    3. Click the DOCUMENT SCAN option on the left pane of the window.
    4. In the right pane of the window, locate the SELECT SOURCE field and select the DOCUMENT option.
    5. Set the color mode, document size, and scanning resolution as required in the rest of the fields shown in the window. Click DOCUMENT SCAN ORIENTATION SETTINGS... to specify the orientation of the documents to be scanned.
    6. In the SAVE SETTINGS section of the window, you will select the save format and location of the document you are about to scan.
    a.) In the FILE NAME field, specify the name you would like to give the file. By default the filename will begin with IMG; you can remove IMG and change it to whatever you would like to name the file.
    b.) In the DATA FORMAT field, use the drop-down arrow to select the PDF (Multiple Pages) option.
    c.) In the SAVE IN field, please navigate to the area where you would like the file to be saved once it is scanned in. By default, the file will be saved in the DOCUMENTS folder.
    7. Once all settings have been selected, click the OK button at the bottom of the SETTINGS (DOCUMENT SCAN) window. The IJ Scan Utility main screen appears.
    8. Click the DOCUMENT button. Scanning starts. After a page has scanned, the screen to continue or end scanning appears. If you have more pages to scan, place the next page on the platen and click Scan.  Do this each time a page has completed scanning.  After the last page has been scanned, click Exit. Scanned images are saved in previously selected folder location specified in the SETTINGS... window. Click the CANCEL button to cancel scanning if needed during scanning.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I SELECT multiple albums in iPhoto?

    I can select a single album:
    select album "Album A"
    But, How do I SELECT multiple (non-contiguous) albums in a list?
    Something like :
    select album's {"album1","album3","album9"} --(doesn't work)
    -TIA
    G4 powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I agree, it seems to just be limited to children of Library.
    I'm going to use your 'build command' to deselect all Library items. That way, the novice computer user will get visual feedback that Library items won't be processed.
    ----------------applescript
    tell application "iPhoto"
    set _selection to selection as list
    --getting selected albums inherently omits Library albums (a bug IMHO) .
    set _albumsSelected to {}
    repeat with _album in _selection
    set end of _albumsSelected to _album's name
    end repeat
    -- Now, reselt albums to deselect Library albums.
    set commandString to "select (albums whose name is "
    set firstLoop to true
    repeat with albumName in _albumsSelected
    if firstLoop then
    set commandString to commandString & "\"" & albumName & "\""
    set firstLoop to false
    else
    set commandString to commandString & " or name is " & "\"" & albumName & "\""
    end if
    end repeat
    set commandString to commandString & ")"
    run script {commandString}
    end tell
    Thanks Bernard for your help. I just changed "contains" to "is" because in my tests I had "untitled album", "untitled album 1" etc. Then, because of the first "untitled album", all iterations were re-selected (not desirable).

  • How do I select multiple pictures in a folder

    How do I select multiple pictures in a folder? I have tried shift + click, command + click etc but cannot find a way of selecting a large group without selecting individually 

    Select the first image.  Then Command-Click on each additional image you want to select as part of a group.
    If you are using List mode, you can click on the first, then Shift-Click on the last, and all the files between the first and the last will also be selected.
    Command-Click will still work to add additional non-sequential, or to remove items from the list already selected.

  • How do I select multiple calendars?

    Somehow iCal has given me multiple -- as in hundreds -- of "untitled" calendars (a sync issue?). I want to select and delete a whole bunch of them at once. Otherewise it's a painfully slow process of selecting and deleting one at a time. Any ideas how I can select multiple calendars? Holding down the shift or command key doesn't do it.
    iCal is hobbled by memory problems until I clear out these uninvited calendars. I get the spinning ball, for instance, if I try selecting a different month.

    Paste this into Script Editor's window, click Run, and go for a cup of coffee. It worked here to delete a dozen newly-created untitled - don't know what it will do for you, so it might be an idea to doa backup first.
    tell application "iCal"
              set Them to calendars whose name starts with "Untitled"
              repeat with ThisOne in Them
      delete ThisOne
              end repeat
    end tell

  • How do you  select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder

    how do i select multiple photos from photostream to move to a folder in iphoto

    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.
    OS X Yosemite: select files or folders
    Have a great weekend,
    Alex H.

  • How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD?

    I use HandBrake to rip DVD's into iTunes. How can I save multiple titles under the same DVD? For instance, I have a Jimi Hendrix documentary that comes with special features, such as concert performances. I would like to have the main feature and the special features saved in my iTunes under the same title, perhaps as different 'tracks' (kind of like how different songs can be saved under the same album).
    Is there a way for me to do this, or am I chasing phantoms?

    *This response is for iPhoto 11 (v9). If you're using an earlier version, please post back and let us know. Troubleshooting steps are not the same for different versions. To find out which iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto)*
    Duplicate the photo first. (Photos -> Duplicate). This means that you will have multiple copies of the master as well as the edited version.
    If you use versions like this often and wish to have only one master then you can do this with Aperture.
    Regards

  • How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere?

    How do you select multiple messages/conversations on SMS/MMS to forward or save to memory card on Samsung Stratosphere? 
    My screen is cracked and I need to replace my phone and I don't see a way of selecting multiple messages or even conversations one at a time to forward them to email or to save them to a memory card.  I can delete thread but can't forward it or move it.  Is there a setting somewhere that will move the storage location for messages to the memory card instead of internal?
    If not, any suggestions on backup apps?  I have heard of Txtract to back up SMS and MMS messages, and Titanium Backup to back up everything (SMS, MMS, apps, app data...).  Anyone have any experience with those, or other suggestions?
    Thanks!
