Hi all,
Suddenly Preview doesn't work with any images on my computer (stil works fine with PDF). The Preview window is always like this when I try to open any images:
I had tried to remove all the preference files related to Preview under ~/Library/Preferences/, also used Disk Uitility to repair disk permissions but no luck.
Can somebody help me? Thanks
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and disable any third party login items. Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.
Hi macjack, just tried that and problem still occurs in Safe Mode.
Make sure preview isn't running. Click the apple >> force quit, and double check there.
Remove preview reference from ~/Library/Containers to trash. Also check ~/Library/SavedApplicationState. Removes any preview entries there, too.
Reboot. Try again.
Hi Imp68, I did all the steps you suggested, but it doesn't fix the problem.
Finally solved the problem by removing the file ~/Library/Application\ Support/Preview/PDFIndex4.sk
Preview can't open any images
