If this is the problem (got an MBP early 2009), then indeed I hope Adobe fixes this a.s.a.p.

Just tried changing these settings:

Preferences -> Performance -> Graphics Processor Settings -> Advanced Settings... The change drawing mode to 'Normal' (mine was 'Basic'). Suddenly I'm able to change the background.

Hopes this works for all of you too.

Apparently, you cannot change the background color if you're in CMYK. At least that's what my machine is doing.

THANK YOU. This was driving me nuts. This fixed my problem too, switching to RGB. Although I'm really really salty that that means I can't use multiple artboards in CMYK....seems a little silly to me....they're not only useful for web design projects....

That does not work for me. Any other ideas?

Wondering this too. No matter what bg colour I select, everything stays white and I can't actually see the edges of the artboards...

I get the same result on my iMac late 2009. It seams to be an error with graphic cards that have less then 512MB VRAM. On my MacBook everything works fine. I hope Adobe will fix this.
