    Need help with rebuilding thumbnail preview of icon in finder

    I have MAC OS 10.4 in my computer. I want to know about how to create thumbnail preview of icon in finder because when I open finder in my computer and then select icon view after that it shows jpeg icon instead of preview. Now please help me with this.

    I have read your problem and I would like to tell you that this problem is very common and it can be fixed by simply retorting your computer. I normally get this type of problem and then when I restart my system at that time system starts showing previews normally. If this idea does not work then you have to Show icon preview option and after selecting the icon preview option your problem might get solved.

    I agree with the above solution. All you need to do is open your folder in finder and after doing that you have to select action button. Now after selecting action button you have to choose show option. There you have to see whether show icon preview option is selected or not? if show icon preview option is not selected then you have to select it and after doing that you have to close that window and then open it again. Now check whether you are able to see icon preview or not?

    You have mentioned that by selecting show icon preview option also you are facing this issue and that is why I will suggest you to reset Finder preferences in your computer and after doing that you will be able to see icon preview. Try this solution and let me know what the result is.

    To reset Finder preferences you have to follow these steps.

    • Open home folder.
    • Go to library folder.
    • Select preferences.
    • Move com.apple.finder.plist file to desktop.
    • Restart your machine.

    After restarting the machine check whether your problem get solved or not?

    Same thing happens with me also and then I have deleted com.apple.finder.plist file from preferences folder and then restarted my computer and then my problem get solved. I think you should also try this solution.
