How do you select multiple items in iPhoto?

I insert my sd card into my mac and iphoto shows every single pictures in it. However, I just want to import a few different pictures but the only options were either select one or import all. I am pretty sure there is a way to select more than 1 picture

Hold down the Shift key when selecting more than one image.

Select one, and then either command-click another, or in list/column view, Shift-click the item at the other end of the range you want to select. Alternatively, click on a spot in the screen and drag the cursor until all the files are 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

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 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.
Here is Apple's Mac 101 / Mac Basics site, which has a good (and free) introduction toward learning to use your Mac.

How do i select multiple items on a page using firefox on a mac?

I am trying to to figure how to select multiple items (email addresses) using firefox on a mac. I use a web based manage my business. I am trying to send emails to multiple people.
I have tried clicking on the first email and hold the command key while selecting the others. The selection just jumps.
I tried holding the shift key and and it selects everything between the 1st and 2nd email address I want to use.
I also tried the control key which just brings up a menu.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This may just be a limitation of the email site you are using. Is this a public site that I can test and try to reproduce the issue?

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.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2470
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.
