Question

Entire file only having outlines (color disappeared)

Hi! I kind of need urgent help because I have a client deadline quickly approaching. I have been working in illustrator on both my iPad and Mac, on the same file. I did a lot of drawings on my iPad in color, but then when I went to open up the file on my Mac to continue working, everything shows up only as outlines, with no color or stroke. But when I am looking at the file from the homepage, I can see the color in all my drawings. Also, when I try to edit the color of one of the outlines I can pick out a color, but it doesn't actually add any color. How do I fix this? I attached screenshots of what it looks like toggling in and out of Cmd-Y.

When you select one of those paths, what does the appearance panel show?

 

Did you already reboot the computer?
