Selecting multiple pics with MacBook Pro?

Asked by nmguy (528points) May 13th, 2009

A friend who’s a photographer recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Leopard. He can’t figure out how to select a bunch of his photos and move them to another folder. He tried selecting the first pic, holding down the Shift key, then selecting the last pic.

Any suggestions?

I think that should work. I just tried it on my MBP and it worked just fine.
You could also try holding down the “mouse” button and dragging over all the photos you want to select.

That should work… but then you haven’t really told us the context. Is he in the Finder, in iPhoto, in email, or what?

BTW, he can also select a non-contiguous range of items – one at a time – by holding down the Command key instead of the Shift key when he selects.
