I’m not an expert on Macs, heck barely above novice but ..

To eject a flash drive or anything else I’ve plugged into my Mac, I right click on the device icon on the desktop. Select ‘eject’ and the

icon disappears.

I’ve got a question...

In Win XP, I could hold the ‘CTRL’ key while highlighting a file and then another many files away. Every file between those 2 files would highlight.

I haven’t found an equivalent in OSX. Is there one?

The desktop icon tip in how i eject the Canon but there is no icon for the Nikon?

Now back to your XP question... You will have to ask someone with a brain, like the Tin Man or the Lion...

Yes. Click on the first file then hold [Shift] and click on the ending file of a list you want to be inclusive. All files between the two will also be highlighted.

Even slicker: hold down the [Command] key and click on files and select any, skipping any between [Command] clicked files. Much more useful.
