 * I created a lot of custom post types.
    But now, when i add a post to a custom
   type, i’d like to select a template i defined in my theme. I am not able to select
   a template in the attributes box on the right side.
 * How can i enable this?

 * Don’t think you can define a [Page Template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates)
   for custom post types but you can create a page then display that post type in
   the page (see the Pages article for an example).

 * Well i like to define different page templates to posts within the same post 
   type.. so that’s not working proper. Or i have to hack it in (with a custom field
   or something like that).
 * Shit! Not a proper way to do this?
