I am new to the Mac OS.

I have a quick question about Itunes

I have used it for years on my PC.

I want to check/uncheck songs to add to my Ipod so on my PC I highlight the songs I want to check/uncheck then I right click and a box pops up and I click on the check selections.

i cant for the life of me figure out how to do this with my new Mac

I figured out how to uncheck all my library. But I want to only select a few albums.
But
 
there is a little tick by each song name thats the check box click that

or highlight the selection then right click> uncheck selection
 
I want to check/uncheck songs to add to my Ipod so on my PC I highlight the songs I want to check/uncheck then I right click and a box pops up and I click on the check selections.

It's exactly the same as on Windows, I believe.

Have you enabled right clicking?
 
There you are.

Do you have a mouse?

In which case go:
System Preferences > Keyboard and Mice > enable 'Secondary Button' to the right mouse button. And you're off just like with windows :)

Or you can just press CTRL and click.
 
If you want to select songs that are not continuous then hold down the "command" key and click the songs
 
system preferences> Mouse keyboard > right click > enabled


highly recommended


I dont see the right click option

I am in system peferences >Keyboard Mouse
Then I have keyboard , trackpad, bluetooth, keyboard short cuts

I am lost
 
]EDIT: Ah... a laptop. Okay, head to trackpad like Silver-Fox says, and enable two-finger clicking.
 
ok in keyboard mouse go to trackpad > clicking > Tap track pad using two fingers for secondary click

do you have mouse or trackpad?
 
Just hold down the control key then click to emulate right-click. Also, I believe that option click will check/uncheck a selection, command click will check/uncheck all visible items from a search or everything in a playlist.
