Using BT Keyboard (A1314) - Can't Select Multiple Items

Recently bought Mini and separately purchased a BT KB. When I use the command key to select multiple items, I can't. Whichever item I click on while holding the command button, it just selects that item, not the group.
Also when holding down the 'shift' key, I cannot select items in sequence. I have looked in prefs, but nothing having to do with this issue.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

Can't select multiple items with shift key os 10.7

I can use command A to select all, and I can select multiple items with command and individually clicking each one, but not using Shift and clicking on the first and last items. Any ideas?

You need to display the window in column or list view. Shift-clicking items won't do that in icon view.

Maps in OVI Suite - can't select multiple items

In Maps Updater you can or could select all the countries & provinces you wanted then start the download and come back later when it had finished. Using Maps in OVI Suite, you have to select and download each item one-by-one. I download a couple of entire countries plus about 8 individual French provinces. It's a real pain to have to keep coming back to see if one item has finished so you can select the next, especially since after each French province finishes the selection always jumps back to 'Albania' and I have to navigate back to France again. Sorry, even if you are on commission from the Albanian tourist authority, I have no plans to visit Albania for the time being!
Seriously though, is it so hard to retain the tick boxes to select all the maps and voices you want before you kick of the downloads, so you don't have to spend an hour watching progress bar and can do something more useful with your time? I just find the functional redesign baffling.
Next time I'll go back to using Maps Updater, and hope this isn't going to be entirely superseded by OVI Suite, at least until it has the multiple-choice tick-boxes!

Ovi is rubbish, all Nokia have done so far is bloat it more and more.
I don't remember how it was when I got my phone originally but I think I could just select the maps I wanted and that was it.
In this latest "update" you have to go in one by one. But my favourite is when Ovi tells you there are updated maps available and asks if you'd like to get them. You say - sure, that's nice, and it goes off and freezes your system for hours.
Several hours later you decide enough is enough and kill the Ovi process and then you find out that it didn't just start updating your maps, it decided you should have maps of the entire world! That's right, even though I only had europe on my phone it installed maps of Australia, New Zealand, North America... ffs!
Then the painful "delete all" since you can't just delete the maps you don't need, and then download them one by one.. Oh joy.
My next phone definitely won't be a Nokia.

Why can I not select multiple items in Muse using Shift Click after installing update?

I am trying to select multiple items on a Muse page by holding shift and clicking each items. This has been pretty much my standard method across Adobe products but after updating Muse it will no longer let me do this. Am I missing something or did this method change with the update?

It seems to be happening mostly for Hotmail account. I just rebooted and tested two accounts. Only in Hotmail now.

Can't select multiple layers

This sounds very obvious, I know.
But! I have lost the ability to select multiple layers. Shift, Command, Control Click. Nothing works. I can't select them with the selection box like I used to either. There must be a setting or something that I accidentally clicked? If I can't select multiple layers I basically can't do anything including grouping or linking or merging layers in additon to a bunch of other stuff that is crutial!
This is driving me batty.
Thanks in advance.

To supplement this it might also be a conflict with a third party software as well.
If the keyboard tmethsd of resetting the preferences doesn't work then
1. Quit Photoshop
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Photoshop. Photoshop creates a new preferences file.
Also if you recently updated your system there might be a conflict with the systems key board shortcuts, Like Spotlight, Universal access, dashboard and Exposé or asI said before it could be something like Quicken.
Have you installed anything lately.

Label Printing Using Address Book - How can I Print multiple labels of the same name?

I used to be able to print multiple copies of the same picture on one page using iphoto. There was a customise button when you went through to print and it was there somewhere. I can't see it anymore - maybe since an upgrade.
It's gone. But as a work-around, duplicate your photo (⌘D) to create as many versions as you want copies and select all at once. Then use the "Custom" print layout and set the photo size you want.
After printing, trash the added versions.

With a wired keyboard and a 2014 iMac I cannot select multiple items which are not next to each other

I have recently changed from Windows 7 desktop to a new iMac running Mavericks. I have chosen a wired keyboard as I like the usual Delete key function.
I cannot find out how to select several items which are not next to each other (e.g. words in Pages). The well known method in Windows, which is repeated in the the Apple Finder Help screen, does not work. Would be grateful for advice

Hi JBowfin,
If I am understanding your question correctly, I believe that I have an article that will address this question for you:

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?

Can't select multiple slices at a time

Hello,
I'm having a bit of a technical problem. I have used my slice tool several times before with no problems whatsoever. However, I recently ran into a weird problem with my slice tool. After I slice an image up using the slice tool, I am no longer able to select mutliple slices at the same time. When I select one slice, and hold down the shift key to select another slice, the other slice is just selected alone. I reinstalled Photoshop and I also reverted back to the default settings; all to no avail. I'm currently using Photoshop 7.0.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance for the help.

If i remember right, in photoshop 7, you can only select multiple slices
using the save for web function in photoshop 7 or in Image Ready.
I don't remember be able to select multiple slices in photoshop 7 proper
outside the save for web dialog.

Can't select multiple objects in Pages 10 with "command+click".

I've always been able to "command+click" to select multiple objects in Pages. However, since I updated to Pages 10, this shortcut does not work. Any thoughts?

Apple is trying to make the iOS version and Mac versions match. Some incredibly stupid or lazy developers/designers took the iOS version as the standard and changed the OSX version to match. The stupidity in this is that iOS is not a good platform for work in the first place, it's incredibly cludgy to edit/write documents on the ipad, email maybe but editing real documents is a pain is the wazoo. The iPad is ok for watching videos, reading, browsing, but not for efficient work. Being able to select multiple items and work on them is a basic feature of most editors and has been for years. Microsoft Office for OSX is so much better that it will be difficult for Apple can catch up even if they wanted to. It's too bad for Apple makes prettier apps. And now MS Word for the iPad is available and free.
