Newbie - why doesn't translate do anything?

I got the Nicklaus hair and beard and am trying to apply them to G9. The beard fits great, but after adding the hair, parented to the head, it sits about a "foot" above the head.

Tried deleting and reloading but no change.  I tried using the translate tool and dials but that hair WON'T move! 

I was trying to figure out how to unparent it and maybe then I can move and then reparent to see if that works, but I can't even get that to happen. I saw it at one point but now it's lost to me.

I've always struggled to understand DS, coming here from Poser, although I'm not very good with THAT either. I frequently give up on DS even more often than Poser though.

And the scroll bars are SOOOOOO TINY!!!!

    Translate doesn't work on items thata re fitted to the figure, nor will it work on bones thata re part of a figure. Usually if the hair is a figure it would be fitted to the base, and (by default) parented to the base figure node (not that head) or not parented at all - how are you loading and applying the hair?

    Hmmm. I just loaded the G9 from smart content, selected head, and then loaded the hair from smart content. Did it for the beard which was perfect, then the hair which is not.

    I wonder if it has some bug.

    And are you sure you are using the Genesis 9 version of the hair, not the Genesis 8 one?

    I checked and it has 8,8.1 & 9 - and two thumbnails that look identical.

    I tried a bunch of differrent things and finally something worked. I was already hazy on what I was doing but something worked.

    I might have been loading the G8 version. I think the suggestions helped though! Thanks
