When I used Canon's DPP I could make changes to one picture, then copy those changes and paste them to any number of other photos. But for the life of me I can't find out how to do it in Lightroom. I can copy the changes, but only seem to be able to past one picture at a time.
 
Go to grid view (G) - highlight the pictures you want to apply the changes to and CTRL+SHIFT+V

CTRL + / in any screen to get the shortcuts
 
Cheers Andrew.

Not quite as slick as DPP, having to switch between Library and Develop modes, but it works.
 
Just apply the changes to one pic, then CTRL+SHIFT+C on it (or right-click > deverlop settings > copy).... ok the settings you want to copy, then just highlight all other pics in grid view and CTRL+SHIFT+V.... so you don't really have to change between library and develop, as most settings are available in quick develop in library mode....

You can also do this in develop mode by the same method and highlighting the images you want to copy to in the browser bar at the bottom of the screen...,

In develop you also have sync settings, that will apply whatever to as many as you want.

Thats what I was expecting to be able to do, but it only seems to apply the changes to the first of the selected pictures :( I'll have another play tomorrow.
