If you're having trouble moving bones in pose mode in Blender, there are a few possible causes. First, make sure that you're in Pose Mode (not Object Mode). Second, check that you have the correct bone selected. Finally, make sure that you're using the correct transform tool for the job.

If you're still having trouble, try resetting the Pose Library. To do this, go to File > User Preferences > Addons and enable the Pose Library Reset addon. Once you've done that, you can reset the Pose Library by going to Pose > Reset Pose Library.

Q: How do you move bones in pose mode?

A: To move bones in pose mode, select the bone you want to move and press G to grab/move, R to rotate, or S to scale.

Q: Why can't I move bones in Blender?

A: There are a few possible reasons why you may not be able to move bones in Blender. One possibility is that you have not selected the bone(s) that you want to move.

Finally, make sure that you do not have any other objects selected; if you have another object selected, Blender will move that object instead of the bone(s).
