How to select "All" or "Some" items on your computer
This is helpful when trying to manage, organize, and delete multiple files, photos, emails etc at once on your computer. There are two ways to select multiple items, one allows you to quickly select all items in a list, the other allows you to pick and choose which items in the list you want selected. Both options can be done on an Apple or Windows computer.
- To select ALL items between “point A and point Z” -
1. Single click and release on the first item in the list
2. Then hold down the shift key on your keyboard
3. While holding down the shift key, single click and release on the last item in the list you want selected
4. All items between point A and Z should be highlighted and you can release the shift key
- To select SOME items between “point A and point Z” -
1. Single click and release on the first item in the list
- Apple – Then hold down the Command Key (⌘) on your keyboard
- Windows – Then hold down the Control Key on your keyboard
2. While holding down the command (or control) key, single click and release on all items between point A and point Z you want selected
3. If you select an item by accident, click on it again (while holding the command key) to deselect it
4. Once all items are selected you can release the command key
5. All items you clicked on between point A and Z should be highlighted
