How do you delete more than one item from download folder at a time?

I have been trying to clean out my downloads folder which has gotten too full.  Mostly audiobooks which are now in iTunes and photographs that I have received from family and friends.  I can drag them one at a time into the trash, but was hoping there is a faster way.  If not, I will do this slowly.  My understanding is that if the file is saved somewhere else, deleting it from the downloads folder doesn't delete it from my mac, right?
Thanks,
Laverne's Mom

One more question, am I correct in assuming that if I delete something from the downloads folder, even an application I have downloaded (I have a program that converts photos to cross stitch patterns and I don't want to delete it) that the application will not be deleted from my computer?
Laverne's Mom
That is probably a correct assumption. However it's always a good idea to double check before trashing something. Let's use the App (that's what programs are called on Macs) for cross stitch patterns. Check the Applications folder and if you see the app there it's fine to trash it from your downloads folder. Even if you goof once it's in the trash  you can get it out of the trash assuming you haven't emptied the trash. Open the trash folder, right click the item and select Put Back. If you are not using Snow Leopard (10.6.x) then you can drag the item back to where it was originally.

    how do you delete more than one row on numbers?

    Hi operatorcarmax,
    Select the Rows (shift click works for me). Then hover the cursor over any selected Row label to see the upside-down triangle. Click on it to see a Pop-up menu.
    The Numbers User Guide is available for download under the Numbers Help Menu. A good read.

  • How can we select more than one item from LOV in Query_Find form?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement i.e i want to select more than one customer number seperated by comma from the customer number lov field in the query_find form.How can we write the code for this requirement?
    and after clicking find it has to display notification form which contains the details of customer which you selected from Custome query_find form.
    Could you please help me out.
    Thanks in Advance,

    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 do you return more than one value from a method?

    say I have this:
    public static int myFunc(String inString)
         // I want to return two values from this method
    }yeah so how would i do that?

    If the two values are somehow related--like a person's name and his age--define a class that has those two values as member variables--for example, Person. But only if that class and the assocation of those two quantities makes sense as an entity in your program. Don't do it just to jam to quantities into one return.
    Or, if the two values are two of the same thing--person A's age and person B's age--then you can return an array or Collection.
    If it doesn't fit either of those two scenarios, then your method is trying to do too much unrelated stuff and you should break it into multiple methods. For example, calculating a Person's age based on his birthdate and today's date and calculating his Body Mass Index based on his height and weight. Those two quantities should NOT be returned together.

  • How do you burn more than one song from my Logic on to a CD?

    I have like five songs done that I want to burn on one CD at one time. When I bounce a song I seem to only burn one song. Thanks for the help

    Hi,
    bounce the songs to iTunes, create a playlist and burn the CD with iTunes. Nice, smooth workaround for Logic Express users.
    You could also use third party burn software (free or expensive)
    But if you want to spend some money, i suggest upgrading to Logic Studio, which contains Waveburner.

  • Is there any way to delete more than one email from the iPhone at a time?

    What if I know I've read everything already online - can I press my Mail icon and instead of opening & deleting one by one, can't I delete everything in my Mail that's there? THANKS!

    Use the edit button, then select all messages you want to delete, and press "Delete" button. You still have to select one by one, but you'd have to do it anyway.

  • How to delete more than one workbook from command line

    Hi, I'd like to delete more than one workbook from command line:
    The following syntax, it doesn't work....but I followed the manual instructions:
    dis51adm.exe /connect eul/eul@uatdb /delete /workbook "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2" /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
    where:
    eul/eul@uatdb: is the db’s schema/user where the EUL is installed;
    /delete "ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2": is the command to delete the workbooks, specified inside the “” (with the relative path)
    /log D:\Ale\delete.log: is the command to write a log’s file named “delete.log” to track the action     
    The log file says:
    22/4/2008 4:00:26 μμ
    dis51adm.exe /connect /delete /workbook ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 /eul eul /log D:\Ale\delete.log
    Document ALE_TEST_1, ALE_TEST_2 not found in EUL.
    Internal EUL Error: ObjectNotFound - Can't find EUL element
    There are 0 eul elements to be deleted.
    Completed deleting eul elements.
    22/4/2008 4:00:29 μμ
    Anyone can tell me how is the right syntax ?
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    Hi Rod
    I was coming to that conclusion myself but wanted to wait until the other avenues had been exhausted first - aka making sure of the workbook names.
    I checked through all of the command line documentation and read nothing which clearly indicated that only one workbook could be processed at a time, other than the fact that the syntax says workbook and not workbooks, which could be a big clue.
    I think you are right though in that it has to be one at a time, which would be a pain.
    Best wishes

    How do I delete more than one email at a time from my i phone 5C

    With your Mail app open and the listing of the messages, tap Edit at the top right.  Then check each circle on the left side of the messages to delete.  When you have checked those to delete, tap Trash at the lower right.
    Next tap Mailboxes upper left, under accounts select the account, then for the account tap Trash.  Select Edit upper right, and at the bottom, Delete All, and confirm Delete All and all will be removed at one time.

  • How do you add more than one song to library.....

    How do you add more than one song to the library using the "Add File to Library" option? I just upgraded to itunes 7.1.1.5 from an early version and used to be able to do this but now it want let me, it only lets me add one song at a time. I don't want to use the "Add Folder" option because it adds m3u playists and all kinds of things I don't want to be in my library. Is this a glitch? because it doesn't make sense.

    When using the "add file to library" feature, hold down the CNTL (control) button as you pick your songs...
    DON'T RELEASE THE BUTTON UNTIL YOU HAVE SLECTED ALL THE SONGS...
    then just hit hit the button to add them a voila

    You can sync with one and only one computer/itunes library at a time.  If you sync to another it will erase the current content.
