Apr 13, 2014 9:55 AM in response to omar.mby Kappy,It's the same on the Mac. Select first file, hold down the SHIFT key then click on the last file. You can also simply click then drag the cursor to the last file. To do multi-file selection of separated files hold down the COMMAND key and click.

Apr 13, 2014 10:20 AM in response to Kappyby omar.m,@kappy, that doesn't work for me
Holding down shift has the same effect of holding down command
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

Apr 13, 2014 10:24 AM in response to omar.mby Kappy,Are you doing something wrong? Yes, most likely.
- Select first file in list.
- Hold down the SHIFT key.
- Click on the last file in the list.
Try it first with your files in List View because it will be a little easier than in Icon View.

Apr 13, 2014 3:17 PM in response to omar.mby Barney-15E,It doesn't work in icon view. You have to drag out a rectangle around the items you want to select. Then, you can Cmd-drag or cmd-click to add more.
In the list-type views, you should be able to shift-select multiple items as you wish.
If you are having the problem in List or Column view, then there is something wrong.

I can't remember when that was ever possible. If it is a bug, it's been around for a long time.
You can do that from within iPhoto.

Nov 2, 2014 7:52 AM in response to omar.mby Kelvin MN,I've experienced the same thing. I've found that Shift-Click function, for some reasons, is effective only when files arranged in list as opposed to icons. Try it. Hopefully it works.
