Have you tried rebooting? Or rebuilding the library?
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Cannot move photo from catalogue to all pictures in "home" location

I have adobe starter edition 3, windows xp. Computer is Dell 2400 (IBM), printer is PIXMA MP530. I have some pictures on fotki that I want to place in the "home" part of ADOBE, where all of my pictures can be seen. I am able to download to desktop. It seems as if I click on the ADOBE picture album folder, the photo would replace the picture album folder. When I download to the desktop, the photo is placed in the catalogue. When I try to place it in the home location, a "cannot place in location: picture already in catalgoue" message. I cannot see the photo unless I type in the file name and search using "find". I would like to be able to see this photo in the home folder. There are too many photos that need to be downloaded (a computer accident destroyed some photos, but I can download the original photo from fotki).
How can I place the photos in the "home" loaction?
Please reply to [email protected] Thank you.

Photos are dark and cannot be used in slideshow mode. Also cannot move photos in a sequence. Also photos will not move from grid to add to another collection.

Lightroom 4, photos are dark when in slideshow mode. Therefore, cannot create a slideshow. Cannot move photos from grid to add to another collection. Also cannot change sequence of photos. Have searched multiple times for troubleshooting help online with no resolution available.

Just to clarify my problem with the "dark photos"....when in slideshow mode, photos are dark and state "no photo selected" I've created multiple slideshows and this was never an issue. Just downloaded updates as well for Lightroom 4 and this didn't seem to help either.

The Print Carriage Cannot Move error message

I tried to align printer because my printing output as been off center. However, when I try to run the align printer function, the printer stops after a few seconds and a few strange noises, and displays the error: The Printer Carriage Cannot Move. There is normally a sheet of paper jammed in the back carriage, but after I clear it, and try again, the same thing happens. Strangely, I don't have the paper jam issue when I copy or print (i just have an alignment problem). Why do I continue to have paper jam issues when I try to run the align printer function, but not any other functions?For instance, when I ran the clean printer function, the paper and the test came through very smoothly. What gives? please help. thanks!

Whenever i try and delete mail, i get a message that I cannot move that message to trash??? any help?

whenever i try and delete mail, i get a message that I cannot move that message to trash??? any help?

In my (father's) case, inside the
Library/Mail/POP-username@serveraddress ,
there was a "folder" named "Deleted Messages". The icon was also a standard folder icon.
Just by renaming it to "Deleted Messages.mbox",
the icon was changed to a document tray icon,
and deleting messages started working.

No longer asks if I want to delete photos on camera. I cannot move photos to trash. how do I delete them?

it is rrecommended that you never have iPhoto delete your photos - import them and be sure they are safely in iPhoto and then after one (or more) backup cycles use the camera's format command to reformat the memorycard and delete the photos
As to the lack of being ask
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

Cannot move photos via drag and drop (library grid view)

I've seen several adobe tutorials and youtube videos that show moving photos or folders by drag and drop in the library grid view. I cannot get it to work.
Steps:
1. Mousedown on a photo (not the frame) in the grid
2. Drag the mouse to a folder in the "Folder" pane (left of the grid)
3. Mouseup on the destination folder
Results:
Nothing happens. The mouse cursor doesn't change from the arrow. There is no indication I can drag and drop. The photos are not moved.
The photos are stored on a NAS. Of course I can move them around via Windows Explorer, but I want to do this from inside LR4 for obvious reasons. From LR4, I can create new folders, but I still cannot move photos into those folders. I also tried creating a new folder on a local drive. Again, I was able to create the folders, but was not able to move any photos into the folder.
What else can I do to toubleshoot this issue?

I created a new catalog. Imported a folder on my C drive, created a subfolder, and successfully moved photos into the subfolder.
I tried the same steps in my original catalog and now I can move all photos (including those on my NAS). I've been at this for 3 hours. I have no clue why it is working now, but I guess I'm happy. Now, it shows the stack of photos when I try to drag and drop.
I even reverted to my original preferences file (that I backed up before deleting) and I'm still able to move the files. Really strange.

Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders inside iPhoto. Any cure?

Suddenly, I cannot move photos from iStream directly to individual folders, inside iPhoto. Any cure?

What's "iStream"?
You can't put photos into Folders in iPhoto. You can put them into Albums or Events.
So, can you explain the problem you're having?

Adobe Elements Organizer Albums - Photos not numbered & cannot move photos

In Elements Alpums - Photos not numbered and cannot move photos

When you select an album, the sort by dropdown on the top left corner of the grid has one more option- Album order. Using this you may drag drop media in the grid to re-arrange.

I cannot move photos to current folders "I do not have permission to move photos" why, how do i fix this

My son just installed adobe photoshop elements 12 on my mac computer. Every time I try to move a photo to a folder it says "you do not have permission to move this photo" .
Why and how do I fix it? I am not computer savvy and my son does not know why this is happening. HELP

Since folder permissions are an operating system issue not photoshop, you will need to specify which operating system you have, so you get the correct information and person that knows about that operating system.

How much storage is remaining on your phone? It sounds like you may not have enough room to save the photo, that is why this message generally appears.

Cannot copy photos from HP Photosmart with Windows Vista

I know how to copy photos onto my iPod (30G) and have done so before. I recently bought a new computer with Vista and cannot copy photos from my Pictures folder. I get a message that says, "Some of the photos...were not copied to the iPod...because they cannot be displayed on your iPod." What can I do to help fix this? I have tried resizing and using Adobe Photoshop and I get the same message.
Thanks for the help.

I use Picasa. You don't have to use iTunes at all. Connect the phone with the USB cable and launch the app of your choice, such as Picasa. Click the "Import" button at the upper left. Your iPhone should appear in the dropdown of choices to import from. You can then import all or some of the photos in the Camera Roll. You should be able to do the same thing with Microsoft Picture Manager or any other photo management program.
The reason that Elements is the only choice is that's the only one that iPhoto on the phone recognizes albums in.
You cannot move photos INTO the Camera Roll from your computer; it's a one-way transfer. But you can sync photos to the Photos app on the iPhone. You either use Elements, or just create a folder on your computer for photos to sync, then create a sub-folder for each album you want on your computer. Copy the photos to each album, then go to the Photos tab in iTunes and select the top-level folder. When you sync each sub-folder will become an album on the iPhone.
However, I consider the photo app on the iPhone rather limited and klunky. Instead I use the app MyPics from the app store. It syncs photos from my Picasa Web albums directly to the phone over the air. I can also create albums in Picasa Web from the phone, and upload images from the Camera Roll directly to Picasa Web.
Another way to get photos (and other files) to and from the phone is Dropbox and similar cloud-based storage solutions.

Can I move photos around in iPad? There are some photos in camera roll, are those the ones I took with iPad? Then there are some that are imported-I guess those are the ones from my camera. Can I combine them into different albums? Thanks

At the moment no, you cannot move photos between albums in the Photos app directly on the iPad - but with iOS 5 (which will be free to download) in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.
