Importing older .jpegs, not getting renamed and not able to find in catalog

First, I love lightroom. I've been knee deep for 2 weeks and am over 33,000 photos as of this writing.
I am noticing the following when I attempt to import older .jpegs:
At import, I specify to convert to DNG, I know this doesn't work for .jpegs, to add to catalog, to put into files by shooting date, to rename to my custom naming scheme, to backup when importing, etc. I press import.
So when the import begins, all the thumbs have the error in the top right corner, "the photo xyz could not be used because the original file could not be found".
A folder for the date is created in the catalog but has 0 files in it.
So when I click in the prompt to locate the file, it takes me to the folder, and I notice that the file is there however it has not been renamed. It retains its original name from pre import.
The only files I've noted this happening were shot in 2000-2001 with a Sony DSC-S70 camera. I went to look at the original files in mac viewer and they appear to be fine, smaller than today's files, around 512k, 1280x960.
Again, I love Lightroom, so much so, that I've spent the last 3 days, working 12-14 hours a day getting my digital life in order.
This is the only kink I've experienced so far in LR.
So to summarize, during import, the folder is created, the old file namess are copied into it, but in the catalog the new file name is referenced, so when you look in the newly created folder, there are files there, but not with the new names, with the old names, and the file sizes are very small, like 32k, which tells me they aren't the files, but thumbnails of some sort?
I've tried different ways of importing, not renaming files, using original file structure, etc, but nothing has worked.
My theories... Are .jpegs before a certain date not supported? Are these files somehow corrupt? Are they locked?
Thank you very much for your help, when this first started happening, I just deleted the folders that had 0 images in them. Then when I started noticing a pattern, I made notes of the folders I deleted so I can go back in and fill the gaps in, and since then, I've begun tagging all the files that are having this problem since I figured out what was going on so I can hopefully go back in and remedy.
I am using an imac with 4 gig of RAM and LR 2.
Sincerely,

ok, deleted all the problem images from the catalog and it is much more stable. I tried crashing it, and it held firm. This is very encouraging.
Took a look at the suspect files and folders.
Did what you said, copied into the folder, and then imported without doing anything, they came in fine.
Tried importing and renaming, for some reason still not working.
Living and learning, when importing thousands of images in hundreds of folders, I should have added the step of looking into each folder before importing. I didn't do this. I only looked at the previews in Lr import. When I went back in and looked in the folders, there are several junk files, thumb creation files from other browser programs, html files, other various files, etc. Lr skipped the majority of these junk files, but a few came in and actually caused Lr to crash immediately when the came into view on my monitor.
Were I starting from scratch, I would open each folder, organize it by type and size and then go through with the lightroom import portion.
The way I did it, I imported a lot of low res cropped that I used for web and email, and now they are in my Lr catalog and look like duplicates.
Now that the former prob images are in the Lr dbase, should I try and rename?

  • Issue regarding Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART in SAP TPM IP

    Gurus,
    I am facing an issue regarding SAP TPM IP ( HANA)
    I have 3 Infoproviders
    Planning infocube, Planning DSO1, Planning DSO2 and i created multiprovider and added these 3 infoproviders into it. I have created Aggregation level on multiprovider. Created Bex Input ready query on Aggregation level.
    Issue is  Planning layout is not getting rendered and is dumping at : CL_RSDRC_TREX_QUERY_LAYER ~ _GET_PARTPROVS_WITH_TREX_PART.
    I tried debugging it and found it is trying to read   i_r_pro -> n_ts_part. It is populated with only 3 values (i.e. 2DSOs and 1 Cube), whereas <l_partprov>-partprov is referring to Aggergation level, hence read statement isn't successful, it is dumping.
    The class CL_RSD_INFOPROV_CACHE->GET() method is trying to populate the N_TS_PART.N_TS_PART uses P_R_INFOPROV table which seems to be already populated.  So, I debugged all the below methods to find out how the P_R_INFOPROV but couldn't find any clue.
    Can any one help,it would be really help.
    Thanks
    Ashok

    Hello Gregor,
    On the launch of planning layout it throws an error message:
    Planning is not possible RSCRM_IMP_CORE008.
    When I debugged, i got to a point wherein
    particular Real Time Planning DSO is
    not getting retrieved under the MultiProivder in below class.
    Class: CL_RSCRM_IMP_ACTIONS_SERVICE, Method: GET_INFOPROV is not
    returning the real time Info-Provider Name(i.e. Planning DSO)
    underlyingthe Multiprovider.
    I've also tried to run the report mentioned by you for the Multiprovider but issue still exists.
    Let me know, if you have any pointers on this topic.
    Thanks,

    The address beginning with file:/// denotes a saved file (local file). The file may not be present. You can try dragging the site icon of this page on the left edge of the location (Address) bar and release it on the desktop. Please try opening it. If it still shows an error it could be a problem with the system's zone permissions.

    Hi,
    This issue is now resolved. We followed up with SAP and they suggested to update the component EP-PSERV to latest patch which was earlier to patch 1. Later on we upgraded it to patch 4 and this resolved the issue.
    Thanks

    i connected my iphone 3g to itunes which was in 4.1 firmware and itunes ask for an update which i downloaded an updated the phone to version 6.1.3 but my phone cannot start it shows no service my sim card is not getting network and i cannot use the phone. what should i do.?

    First, you do not have a 3G if you could upgrade it to 6.1.3, because 4.2.1 is the last version that will work on the 3G. So you either have a 3GS or you somehow hacked the phone to install an incompatible version. You can check the model you have by entering your serial number here: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Assuming you have a 3GS the most likely reason for your problem is you have a gray market phone that was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. When you upgraded it you removed the hack, so the phone is now locked to its original carrier.
