| 1281217 | 2012-06-12 07:16:00 | A friend asked me for help with his Apple laptop - I couldn't assist as I don't know the Apple system... he had photos. on a card from his camera, and had plugged that into the laptop and could view the photos. - he wanted to move them all from the card and into a folder in Documents - which wasn't set up - we could Select All and have the photo. files highlighted but if we tried left or right clicking this did not bring up and option to move the files - merely took away the highlighting.... I presume there is a simple way to do this - does anyone know how please? Also he should set up a folder/s under Documents otherwise dumping all the photos. in that folder is going to result in a heap of different types of files... how is this achieved please? TIA - Bryden |

| 1281218 | 2012-06-12 07:25:00 | That's odd, normally you can just select all and copy and paste. Check to see if he has iPhoto installed. If he does, open that and a camera or memorystick should appear on the left hand side. There should be an import all function near the bottom left of the screen. This will copy all the photos from the card to something like: Macintosh HD/UserName/pictures/iphoto library/2012/Camera Roll 1/ <-- you should be able to copy all of the photos from out of there. What is the model of the camera? I can check to see if there are any mac drivers and/or software avaliable to assist in copying files if iphoto annoys him. Copying and pasting would be far easier but I suspect that it has something to do with the formatting of the memory stick/card. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1281219 | 2012-06-12 09:17:00 | Select the photos, double tap in the window (tap the trackpad with 2 figures) and you should get the option to copy. Or select the photos and Press Command+C to copy and Command+V to paste | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1281220 | 2012-06-12 09:34:00 | Mac's don't have right click enabled by default. By memory left click while holding down option key or one of the ones in that area of the keyboard will give you the right click menu. Other option is to go to system preferences/mouse and enable right click. | berryb (99) | ||
| 1281221 | 2012-06-12 09:39:00 | ctrl + click = right click on macs or if it's enabled on a macbook two fingers on the trackpad + click = rightclick. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1281222 | 2012-06-12 10:53:00 | Thanks for all the info. and help - will pass it on and check how it goes.... Think I will personally stick with Windows.... Bryden | Bryden (4161) | ||
| 1281223 | 2012-06-12 15:21:00 | One finger click will select, two fingers click will 'right click'. An easier way it just to highlight just one file. Then cmd+A will select them all. Go and create a new folder then in this folder cmd+v to paste. To create a new folder just two finger click on an empty space will bring up the 'right click' menu. This info is of course assuming you are using the trackpad on this laptop. |

| 1281224 | 2012-06-12 20:36:00 | Easies way is ctrl+c/ctrl+v or if you have both windos open just select them all and drag them from 1 window to the other one. Oh and if it is a laptop you must just lightly tap the pad with 2 fingers. Some older desktop macs dont have a rightclick on their mouse nor the support for one so if you ctrl+click it will act as right clicking. If the mac isnt that old then go into preferences/ mouse and keyboard and you may have to click the box that allowes right clicking. If the mouse is see through with a white peice on the inside then there is no right click but if its solid white and has a small scroll wheel then it has right click. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
