Background images are only visible in top/front/side and camera views.

Also, please:

  • Give us your exact Blender, OS and GPU versions, as requested in the template!
  • Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date.
  • Try the latest build from our buildbot.
  • Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup commandline option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
  • Try to tweak OGL settings in UserPreferences, System tab.
  • Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
  • Attach here the report generated by Help -> System Info.
  • Launch Blender from the command line with -d option and attach here any error printed out in the console.
  • If available for mac (not sure), try to start in software OpenGL mode (use the blender-softwaregl distributed with official blender, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).
