I am not able to move notes to a folder in Notes app.

When I try to move a note to another folder, the list of folders in my iCloud account is all grayed out, and I am not able to drag a note to those folders either. I have other devices using this account that are older and do not support the newer features like smart folder. What should I do? Do I need to remove those devices from my trusted devices list or log out of my iCloud account on those older devices?


I am having this problem on macOS Monterey 12.3.1 on a Mac Pro.

Mac Pro, macOS 12.3

I checked those links. I found this link when I looked for the relevant content in the first link you gave me: select the notes


I found the following content at the bottom of the page in the following link when I went to the second link you gave me.


Move a note from one folder to another

  • In Notes on iCloud.com, drag the note to the folder you want to move it to. Notes are listed by last-modified date, with the most recent note at the top of the notes list.
  • You can’t move notes to the All iCloud folder.


Organize notes in folders on iCloud.com - Apple Support


None of those address the problem I'm having.


I also noticed I can't move notes on my iPhone either. It's an iPhone 13 Pro Max using the same Apple ID.
