Is there a way to delete more than one message at a time

on my iPhone 6 I can hit the edit link in messages and easily and quickly delete lots of messages at a time.  on my iMac it seems you have to delete one message at a time, which takes a lot more time........isn't there a way to delete messages in bulk in Yosemite messages?

Hi,
A single Bubble is a single Message or iMessages depending on the account it is with.
A single bubble can be highlighted then the Backspace/Delete key used.  (the greys in this pic hardly differ to tell though)
A whole chat/Conversation (Apple calls iMessages connections "conversations" and other connection have always been "Chats" since iChat 1) can be deleted by mousing over the chat in the list and using the x icon that appears without having to bring that one to the "front" or top.

  • Is there a way to delete more than one layer at a time?

    As you would with regular files. I can't seem to highlight more than one layer at a time. I also tried linking the layers to be deleted but that didn't work either. Am I trying to do the impossible?

    Try;
    V+backspace then enter.
    On photoshop elements 1,2 and 3 this deletes only
    the layer that is selected, not the layers linked to it.
    On photoshop elements 4,5,6,7 and 8 this deletes the
    selected layer or layers.

  • Is there a way to delete more than one email at a time in the inbox. Also, how do I delete all the mail in the "delete" subfolder?

    I did found an answer for deleting inbox emails using the "shift" key but it is a slow process, as I have 8k emails. I find that they all go into the "delete" folder of which I have to go through the same process as stated above to permanently delete them. The "trash" folder I can right click on it and select "empty trash" and it is all gone. This feature is not available for the "delete" folder. Has anyone found an easy way to empty the "delete" folder?

    ctrl+a will select all emails currently shown. In delete folder just select mails using ctrl+a and delete them using delete button on your keyboard, or from context menu.

  • Is there a way to reset more than one image at a time?

    I have a folder with 1100 images taken on four different cameras. I have a new default setting for one of the cameras that I would like to apply to most but not all of the images in this folder. I could remove the offending images and reimport, I could filter by serial number and sync a preset. It would be easier, however, if could just select the images I want and hit the reset tool and reset all the images selected. But it only seems to reset the dominant image. Any way to get the reset button to work on more than one image at a time?

  • How do I delete more than one message at a time from a mailbox?

    Cannot see a way to delete multiple messages without selecting each one individually. Any advice please?

    It is one at a time.

  • 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.

  • Is there a way to compress more than one project at a time in Compressor?

    I've been using Compressor for a while and love it, but was wondering if there's a way to use it to compress file from multiple projects that are open in Final Cut? Right now, when I select the "export to Compressor" in Final Cut, Final Cut becomes essentially "unavailable" for use and I get a window that's called "Compressor Processing" that's counting off the frames in the file as Compressor encodes it. If I have other projects open in Final Cut, I can't access or use them until processing in Compressor is done.
    Anyone know if there's a way to put a project file into Compressor and then another one from a different file?
    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, you understood me correctly. I was trying to see if there was a way to batch process multiple project files all in one shot with Batch Monitor. So basically the answer is "no" and I'd have to export the project files individually into separate QT files, and then drop each of those into Compressor? That really stinks. Just another time-wasting step that could be avoided with some basic software re-programming.
    What's the point of having Compressor be able to interface directly with Final Cut if it can't batch multiple projects in the same batch?

  • Is there any way to change more than one picture at a time in Adobe CS2 from Tiff to .jpg

    I have a folder of Tiff pictures that I would like to change to .jpg so that I can download them to one DVD rather than the huge amount of space Tiff pictures take. and the number of DVD's that I would have to use. Thx.

    If you have Adobe Creative Suite 2 it should contain Photoshop.

  • Deleting more than one file at a time from Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra 4

    Is there a way to delete more than one file at a time from Zen Xtra? Actually, I'd like to delete most of the 800+ files and the only way I've found is to do them one at a time..! Help!

    Either use finder to drag and drop those tracks onto
    "Library" in iTunes' left "Source" column or from
    iTunes Menu Files use "Add to Library ..." then
    navigate to a folder that keep a yoru tracks and
    select that folder.
    This did it! I was doing an "import" which would only let me do one song at a time. But the "add to library" and the drag and drop both worked. Thanks!!!
