It sounds like when you are renaming the file that it is also trying to rename the file extension (ex: mypicture.jpg whereas .jpg is the file extension and changing the file to just mynewpicturename without an extension. You may want to try and rename by typing the file extension in the name such as mynewpicturename.jpg)
