Export multiple songs from Imac?

KHO

I make my tracks on my Imac and then transfer them to my Ipad for live use. In Peters video on Youtube, he is able to send multiple songs to another devise by selecting edit, and then tick multiple songboxes. On my Imac I can only tick on box at the time when I have clicked the edit button. That means I have to go through the whole prosess for each song. Is there a way around this?

KHO there should be an all selection at bottom left, the problem with it if you are in song mode it chooses all your songs which could be thousands, the way around it, create a playlist first place all songs you need to export in to it, then choose EDIT in this playlist, then you will quickly export all songs as one file which should load in to your second device with all data programmed preserved as on imac.

Damir Thank you for answering Damir. There is the V symbol at the bottom left corner that should mark all when I click on it, but unfortunately it doesn`t.

The selection of multiple songs is not intuitive on a Mac. I don't know what Apple thought to do it that way, but when in Edit mode you need to hold the Cmd key while selecting your songs.

Thank you for answering my question, Peter. Unfortunately, neither holding down the command key or any other command keys seems to work.

KHO Are you using Catalina? I think Catalina needed another key pressed. Maybe opt or ctrl.

KHO i just realised you are talking about the issue using IMac I use iPad as my master compilation software and share the full backup to iMac and iPhone, I find it much faster and easier to do things on iPad using touch screen then stuffing around with an mouse on a large screen , I initially started on IMac thinking it’s going to be my master but when I travel the iPad is always with me, so I will have to try the V symbol which is actually meant to be a tick and see if Cmd tick actually works on my IMac and will report back , if it works you might want to full backup your ST3 on IMac and reinstall ST3 software to latest version incase it glitched on your last update.
Good luck

KHO I just checked my IMac and it works perfectly, the Tick select all is OK , so something is wrong with your ST3 installation by the looks of things.
If you hold Command key while selecting , you can also choose which songs you want to export, so this is quite useful to do whatever you want.
I am using 3.8.1 on latest operating system Sonoma 14

Thanks to both of you for answering :-) Yes, because my Imac is a little old, I am running Catalina. I suspect that this is the problem. None of the command keys have any effect. I will re-install my Stagetraxx after I back up the songs manually.
