How do I select multiple, non-adjacent, cells in Numbers?

I have a spreadsheet that I need to select multiple non-adjacent cells for the purposes of highlighting them and I can't figure out how to do it. The Excel equivilant would be highlight a cell and then click he desired cell while pressing cmd. This does not work nor do fn, ctrl or option. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

It's apparently one of those many things that haven't been implemented in the iCloud beta. You'll be able to make that type of multiple selection if you spring for the OSX version of Numbers.

Was that a command to the engineers, or a question for the forum?

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)

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 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.

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!
Rich

How Do I select Multiple songs to Use with Slideshow?

I am running Lightroom 4 on an iMac with OS - Lion. Love it!
I am trying to create a slideshow with music in the background but I cannot seem to select more than 1 song. How can I select multiple songs?
Thanks
Adrian

The slide show feature in Lightroom isn't really very flexible or feature packed. I suspect the design was to provide professional photographers a quick way to show proofs to clients. You will have to use other software for what you intend to accomplish. I'm going to be creating a slide show with about 500 images soon. My intention is to create the slide show with Lightroom and export as video. Then I will use Premiere Elements and import the video and lay down the music track. There are easier ways to do it, I know. But I don't do this kind of thing very often and don't plan to purchase more software that would make it easier.

How do I select multiple clips in a timeline in the reverse direction, e.g. middle to front?

I know how to click "a" and select clips in the timeline looking forward, but how do we select multiple clips from a middle point to the front of the timeline? I don't want to be lassoing -- is there some other way?

Hi denniscallan,
Please check the track selection tool. Refer to the link below for more information about the tools section.

How do I select multiple columns in a recordset

I am very new to Dreamweaver/PHP/MYSQL
I have created my recordset but I cant work out how I select multiple columns.
How do I select multiple columns, I want to search for data that is spread over different columns.
My recordset looks like this just now.
SELECT *
FROM names
WHERE nameone = john
I have 11 columns where the name john my or may not appear so how would I select all the columns. What would the recordset look like.
As I have said I,m very new to this and forgive me if what i have just said makes no sense.
Thanks

>I have 11 columns where the name john my

>the columns. What would the recordset look like.
You could try a Full-Text search (if mysql supports it) but on the surface, this sounds like a badly designed data structure. What does your database and table design look like?
