Question

iCloud.com lacks an option for SELECT ALL (ALT+A equivalent) for Photos

For the love of Steve Jobs why doesn't iCloud have an option to SELECT ALL (ALT-A) for selecting multiple Photos??

This is true of all 3 forms of iCloud.com (the website) and both iCloud for Windows and Mac. Why must I click on each individual photo while holding down the ALT key? I've got over 2,000 photos to handle at a time and this solution of selecting over 2,000+ individual pictures isn't practical.

Please work on a 'must have / must add feature' to fix the lack of SELECT ALL for Photos on the next iteration of iCloud.com.

fyi... this very subject has been discussed quite frequently here. A search will get you more.

Poor taste. One can voice their annoyance without such references. Let the man rest in peace.

For the love of LACAllen and all his Level 6 helpfulness - how in the world did this begin to answer my question? In considering this solution solved, don't do me any favors.

Steve Jobs for all his genius in simplifying innovation was not without fault. Look no further than the original one-button mouse but I digress... a search on the subject will get me more... what? Solutions? I found nothing on the subject, but then again I'm not a Level 6 expert.

Thanks for sending me to feedback. I placed a 'suggestion' for improvement. I can likely expect a solution just as readily as you can dispense a less than satisfactory answer. Well, at least you took notice. Good day Sir.

This is not a place for solutions supplied by Apple. If you search here for a mere 60 seconds, you will discover that.

This volunteer community answers answerable technical questions. Your questions were rhetorical and not answerable. Then you made a request. A request nobody here can act on.

Your observation is correct. There is no select all option on icloud.com. There are several workarounds and alternatives.

I have no solution to offer besides the one I did. Offer feedback and let Apple know how you feel about this

issue. They may act on it if they feel there is a need. This community will know when you know.

We don't know why the issue exists. Apple will not debate its choices here. Its decisions are not subject to discussion. Their yard. Their rules.

Feedback is your only option. Glad you took it.

A search would have enlightened you to the above. Including that you are not speaking to Apple here as it seems you thought you were.
