Every time I try to move objects, I get the following error message: Can't move the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area. Is there something simple that I'm missing here?
Thanks from me as well. There was one tiny speck that was on that layer allllll the way to left. I deleted it and it can be moved now.

I had this same issue. I just saved the illustrator file as a pdf, closed
the file and opened the pdf file I just saved and I was able to move the
art.

Alexander Kogan's solution worked for me.

Someone had sent me some artwork I had to update...

I selected all, then zoomed out as much as possible (3.13%) and found objects far away from the actual artwork. These objects were making my objects on the artboard much 'bigger' and hence hindering its movement because the software thought the artwork was off the artboard which it was with these random bits included.

Thanks,

JAC
