I do not know exactly what I did, but I am a beginner/noob with Blender. When I select one shape all of the shapes have an orange outline. I don't really know but they are all somehow on the same line/tab. I wanna put them each back to their own tab. Look at the picture to see what I mean. 3 of the shapes have an orange outline when I click "cube" even though it should only be one cube. I wanna make each one its own line again. See how the cones are not selected, each cone has its own separate line/tab. I feel like it is really simple to fix, but it is probably a rare problem so I do not know how to fix it since I am new. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    The most likely reason this happened was because you were still in Edit Mode when you added all of the other meshes, so they became part of the original cube. –  Nov 11 '15 at 03:56

Try following these steps:

  1. Select the object (In this case it is 'Cube')
  2. Go into Edit Mode (Press Tab)
  3. Press A (Deselect/Select) until everything of that object is selected
  4. Press P -> By loose parts

All of the objects should each have a different 'outline'
