This has never happened to me before. When I go to save my design, it is completely black. I'm not sure if it has to do with my layers or what. When I try to copy and paste it into a new page to see if that works, my computer shows the cirlce rainbow and sounds like its insanely overheating. My mac is new to last year, so I have no idea whats gong on.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about your experience. Would you mind sharing version of the OS & Illustrator? Does it happen with a specific file or all? Do you work on files saved on a network drive or local?
This information would help us assist you accordingly. Looking forward to your response.

 

Regards,

Ashutosh

Hi!
Thanks for responding so quickly.

I'm not sure if this answers your question exactly, but I believe my os is 10.15.7 and my illustrator is 24.2? I think? I apologize I am not positive I am looking in the right areas.   

To answer your second question, this is the only time this has happened, and it's turning black when I save as PDF. 

And to answer your third question, I believe it would be local because it is just saving it to my computer.

 

Hopefully that helps. Let me know if I was way off because I am not the most tech savvy person.

Thanks for your help!
