New Mac user: Is it possible to move more than one file at a time on a Mac?

I'm a new Mac user. Something so simple in Windows doesn't seem possible in Mac OS and AppleCare doesn't have a clue either. I have edited video files as well as the master footage video file in individual folders created by FCP. I need to transfer 6 video files, 20GB each, onto an external hard drive. This will need to run overnight because I'm using an external HD with only USB and it will take 10 hours or so. How do I transfer these 6 files all at once?
Note: The 6 files are in 6 different folders. I can't transfer the entire 6 folders because they contain other video files in them that I don't need to transfer and are larger than my 20 GB edited files. And last, I shouldn't have to drag these files individually to a folder on the desktop first, because that will take an hour and is a waste of time because I would have to sit there and wait for each to finish.

As a new Mac user, you might find the following sites helpful:

Hi Rowegarth.
HP Photo Creations offers several ways to print multiple photos on a page. Here's a link to some preset grids. If you don't have HP Photo Creations already, you'll be prompted to download the software. (It's a free download.)
You could also start with a "Design Your Own" collage print with a white theme.
This video shows some ways to print multiple photos in HP Photo Creations to make them easier to cut out:

The beginning shows an older version of the software, but the second half (at 1:17) explains the grid settings.
Hope this helps,

How do you select and move more than one bookmark at a time?
Shift+Click does not select multiple items that are next to one another in a list because the items open in firefox before this happens.

Use the bookmarks library. You may use Shift +Click, and Ctrl + Click to create groupings of selected bookmarks to drag and drop.
* one method of opening the bookmarks library is keyboard shortcut <br /> Ctrl+Shift+B (Windows)

How do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

how do I highlight more than one thing at a time on a Mac please

Do you mean items in Finder?
To highlight (select) a whole block of items :
- click the top item you want
- hold down Shift
- click the bottom item you want
The whole range from top to bottom will be highlighted
To select random items :
- click the first item
- hold down the Command key
- click any more items anywhere in the list
Just the items you clicked will be highlighted
This technique works also in apps like iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

Is it possible to color tag more than one file at a time?

I have a Mac Book Air and I have just upgraded to OS X Yosemite. I love the option to tag files by color. However it is taking me FOREVER. I was wondering if there was a way to tag more than one file at a time.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Command key and choose all the files you want to tag with the same color. Then, right-click one of those files and select the color tag, so all the files will be tagged with the tag you wanted.

I haven't been able to find a way to add more than one page at a time. I think you'll have to add them one at a time.

Unable to move more than one song at a time

For some reason, iTunes has stopped allowing me to move more than one song at a time to playlists or my manually-managed iPod. I can grab as many songs as I want, but when I drag them over to the sidebar, i don't get the little green plus sign that means you can add the songs.
If I only select one song, it woks fine.

Did you by any chance uncheck the the boxes beside any or all of the songs in the library? Unchecked songs won't play in a playlist or the library unless you select them individually: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
Holding down the Control key and clicking the checkbox next to a song in the library or a playlist will toggle the marks for all the songs on or off: : iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

So now that you have repeated the same thing three times that doesn't make things any clearer at all.
You are copying files from where to where?
How are you attempting to copy files, software or click and drag?
Any other detail would be helpful.

Is it possible to move more than 1 icon at a time ?

As above. Is it possible to be done ? Cause i wanna shift a group of icons together.. other than creating a folder and dumping all in to shift it.
Thx in advance. =)

If you work from iTunes, you can select more than one icon at a time by holding down the shift or control key. Once they are selected, you can move them as a group.

Is it possible to send more than one photo in an email using with the iPhone? Thank you in advance for your help

Yes. Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email. Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.

Editing (cut/paste/move) more than one track at a time

i'm new to mac/garageband and everything is going great so far. i'm currently using my fostex hardisc recorder to record basic tracks and then dumping them into my imac as wave files. i'm currently trying to edit a drum track that requires editing all 8 channels of drums. i can't figure out how to use the cut and paste feature on 8 tracks at once. is this possible? i read up on shift clicking to select more than one region but it doesn't seem to apply to the tracks. any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
If I'm understanding, you want to cut a part of the 8 drum tracks, copy it, and paste it to a different part, all in one go?
If that's right, here's how you'd do it:
1. Select the top most track of the drum tracks by hitting the track header. This will be relevant in the pasting part. By hitting the track header, it will select all the regions in that track.
2. Either shift click all the regions you want to split, or you can rubberband-select them if you have blank space available to do it.
3. put the SPL where you want to cut. Then hit "apple" "T". If you want to have an endpoint, move the SPL to the place you want and hit "apple" "T" again.
4. Click on the background of the window to de-select all the regions. Then either rubberband-select all the newly cut regions, or use the **** click method. When they are all selected, hit "apple" "C".
5. At this point, make sure that the top most drum track is selected again. Put the SPL at the beginning of the place you want to place and hit "apple" "V".
Hope that helps.

Is it possible to run more than one case at a time?

Using a case structure, is it possible to have more than 1 case running at a time? I'm currently using a for loop's iteration terminal to select which case to run but each case contains a for loop with a timer delay. I want them all to run simultaneously somehow..?
Maybe possible using a different type of loop?
Thanks for any help.

If it did this, we'd consider it a bug. By design, only one diagram of
a case is supposed to run, the one the selector specifies. If you want
them to run in parallel, put the contents into separate case statements
and use a Boolean to either run or skip the code.
For example, if you have cases run whenever their bit is set in an
integer, then you would have cases for bit 0, 1, 2, and 3. Instead of
putting them in one case, make fo
ur cases. Put the AND logic in front
of each for ANDing with 1, 2, 4, and 8, and wire the output Boolean to
the case structure. Now take i and wire it to the logic. The 0 diagram
will run on odd numbers, etc.

Is it possible to airplay more than one device at a time, for example splitting the screen into quad-view?

I was told by someone that it is possible to connect up to 4 devices at a time through airplay, but I can't work it out.
Is this information incorrect? I'd like to have 4 devices displayed at a time; or at least 2.
Thanks

No you can't.
Audio can be sent to multiple speakers in some cases (eg from iTunes), but not video.

Can't move more than one photo

iPhoto v9.2.1, OS X 10.6.8.
This is a really strange error; Normally you are able to mark several photos and then grab one and move them all. But when I'm choosing one of them it just deselects. Ie, I can't move more than one photo at a time!
Everything else in iPhoto works, and everything else on the computer as well (at first I thought that the COM key was pressed, it reminded of how you select and deselect objects with the COM key).
I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
Is it possible to solve this any other way?

I am able to solve this if I trash the preference files, but then I'll loose all album settings etc.
You won't.
Simple test, rather than dragging to the trash, just drag that plist file to the desktop. Start iPhoto. All that's reset are your factory settings - library location and the like - and these can be reset.

NTLM Authentication : why is it not possible to create more than one NTLM realm ?

Hello,
I'm wondering why it is not possible to create more than one NTLM realm on a wsa.
Can you explain exactly what is the blocking point ?
Thanks in advance
Regards

Well, at this point (pre 7.5), there isn't an agent, the WSA is joined to the domain, just like a Windows box, it authenticates via that trust relationship. From that point it is all based on how NT/Active Directory domains work. As long as there is a trust between the domains, you can can auth users from as many domains as you like.
There is an agent in the works. The ADAgent will be released with 7.5. The code is already available, it was released with the ASA ver 8.4, and it will be used to pass authentication info to the WSA. At this point, current versions still require trust relationships between all of the domains touched.
Taken from the setup guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/ibf/setup_guide/ibf10_install.html#wp1054011
Before you configure even a single domain controller machine using the
adacfg dc create
command, ensure that the AD Agent machine is first joined to a domain (for example, domain
J
) that has a trust relationship with each and every domain (for example, domain
D[i]
) that it will monitor for user authentications (through the domain controller machines that you will be configuring on the AD Agent machine).
Depending on your Active Directory domain structure, the following scenarios are possible:
1. Single Forest, Single Domain—There is only one domain, D[i] for all domain controller machines, which is one and the same as domain J. The AD Agent machine must first be joined to this single domain, and since no other domains are involved, there is no need to configure any trust relationship with any other domain.
2. Single Forest, Multiple Domains—All the domains in a single forest already have an inherent two-way trust relationship with each other. Thus, the AD Agent must first be joined to one of the domains, J, in this forest, with this domain J not necessarily being identical to any of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines. Because of the inherent trust relationship between domain J and each of the domains D[i], there is no need to explicitly configure any trust relationships.
3. Multiple Forests, Multiple Domains—It is possible that domain J might belong to a forest that is different than the forest to which one or more of the domains D[i] corresponding to the domain controller machines belong. In this case, you must explicitly ensure that each of the domains D[i] has an effective trust relationship with domain J, in at least one of the following two ways:
a. A two-way external trust relationship can be established between the two domains, D[i] and J
b. A two-way forest trust relationship can be established between the the forest corresponding to domain D[i] and the forest corresponding to domain J
