Can't move pictures between folders in a library

For some reason I cannot drag-move pictures selected in the filmstrip or in the grid view to another folder in the library folder tree.Clicking on a picture in the filmstrip and dragging to another folder does not produce the familiar hand associated with moving files.
This just started happening. It may be tied to inadvertent setting of read-only status in the underlying hard-disk folders. I was able briefly to recover the ability to move files by un-setting the folders's read-only status via windows properties. After the first time this did not work again, as if something was actively setting read-only. I don't know that this is the cause, it just seemed to track for a moment (untill it didn't.. )
Is there a LR3 setting that would lock files as read-only, or otherwise disable the ability to organize pictures using drag and drop?
Thanks in advance,
WheatonB

Can't move messages between folders

When trying to drag a message into a Public Folder setup for Spam, I receive the following error:
"The IMAP command “UID COPY” (to Public Folders/GFI AntiSpam Folders/This is spam email) failed for the mailbox “INBOX” with server error: There is no replica for that mailbox on this server.."
This is an Exchange 2003 public folder. I've created the account in Mail as an Exchange account (same settings as Tiger - in which this operation was successful).
I can move messages around fine between other folders in the account, just not into any Public Folders.
Anyone got any suggestions?

No, not yet.
I'm going to give support a call tomorrow - if this doesn't get resolved I'm going back to Tiger.

Can't move pictures between tabs

First, let me start out by saying I am new to Photoshop Elements. I am using PSE 12 for digital scrapbooking. Last week, all of a sudden, I am unable to use the move tool to drag and drop an imported picture from one tab to another. In the past I was able to do this without any problem, did a setting get changed somehow? I thought about re-installing the program, but I wasn't sure how that works with the serial number.
I'm using Photoshop 12 on Windows 8
Thanks in advance!

Are you using photoshop elements 12?

Move photos between folders

I want to move photos between folders in dropbox. On my PC I could download the photo folders, open two photo screens and drag and drop pictures between them. How do I do that in Yosemite?

S/He seems to want to open two finder windows. These photo folders referred to seem to be on dropbox.
I hope so, but was a bit concerned, that the question might relates to the way, that Dropbox is importing iPhoto Libraries or backing up iPhoto Libraries. I wanted to be sure, that the iPhoto Library is not actually sitting in Dropbox,, or referenced originals.
As in these links:

Can't move pictures to trash

I can't move pictures to the trash (in the Source side-bar). It's like the Trash 'album' is readonly.
When I try to move pictures to the trash by dragging & dropping, the picture(s) disappear from the album but nothing shows up in the trash. BTW, the green + circle disappears when I hover over the Trash.
When I try to move pictures to the trash using the delete key, the picture(s) disappear from the album but nothing shows up in the trash.
After either of these actions, the 'Empty Trash' remains grayed out and the pictures remain in the library. I've tried rebuilding my library (with all options checked), but this doesn't help.

Hi there,
It will only remove the photo from the album.
You will need to find original photo in your library and delete this. It will then delete the photo in library as well as the copy in any album. When sure, you should be able to empty trash...

How to move files between folders within Lightroom 3?

I would like to move a file from one folder to another within Lightroom 3 (let's not discuss why). I searched the threads but couldn't find the answer (maybe I missed it). When I click on a photo within grid view then drag and drop that file onto a different folder in the folder panel (to do the move), a little plus sign (copy) appears and a copy of the file is placed in the second folder. If I try to delete the photo from the original folder (to get the move), both copies of the file are removed. I've tried holding down all sorts of keys on the imac but cannot get the move to work. Ideally, I'd like to move a group of photos but cannot even move one. Does anyone know how to move files between folders in Lightroom 3?

Your suggestion works. Thank you for posting it.

How can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?

Just for my curiosity and knowledge,
I have a PC (Windows 7) and a Mac (OS X 10.10).
Both of them with the latest version of iTunes.
Both of them with the exact music library (genre, artist, album, etc).
All my music is coming from iTunes Store, so very easy to re download at any time I want with my Apple ID
My PC (Windows 7) computer has a CD/DVD drive. I would like to RIP some music from my CDs and add them to my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library.
Once I finished, how can I move my PC (Windows 7) iTunes library (with my cps ripped) to my Mac iTunes library?
Thank you so much

If you've downloaded the media idependently to each library so far then thet won't be exactly the same as there are different naming rules for the files and folders in OS X and Windows. See Make a split library portable for some general advice. You can move a portable library between Mac and Windows, but there is a delay opening the library after each change of OS.
