The most serious thing you’re doing wrong is not submitting an MWE to 
illustrate your problem, e.g.:

\version “2.18.2”
{ \time 3/4 r1 | r1 }

The next most serious thing you’re doing wrong is not reading the 
documentation, e,g, since you’re having a problem with rests, section 1.2.2 
“Writing Rests” of the Notation RM has a subsection called “Full Measure 
Rests”.  So the way to fix your problem is to write:

\version “2.18.2”
{ \time 3/4 R2. | R2. }

(You might also upgrade to version 2.19.83, which is very stable and fixes a 
lot of problem that existed in version 2.18.2)
