Preview - displays a blank window instead of the jpg???

Hi Ron,

Try deleting this file.

com.apple.Preview.plist

/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.

Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, emtpy the Trash and restart your Mac.

If that doesn't help, right or control click that image, then click Get Info.

In the Get Info window click Open with. You may have to click the discovery triangle.

Click the pop menu and select the application you want to open that image with... you may have to navigate to your Applications folder to make a selection.







Carolyn 🙂

You're welcome. 🙂

I had this same problem and deleting the .plist worked for me as well. Thank you Carolyn!

I'm having the same issue where preview opens an image as a blank page but any other app opens the image just fine. I tried to delete the preference file but that didn't fix it. I just did a clean install of 10.6 as well so I don't think it could be my system.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me either. Maybe a different problem. I'm getting a blank/gray window open in Preview in 10.6.2 and iphoto also displays a blank/black image for any pictures.
