Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Hi everyone,
I have just recently signed up to Apple support community. There was a window appearing on my screen which told me that my Mac needed to update the Adobe Application Manager Utilities software. I have no idea on how to update this. Is it OK if I ignore it? Or if anyone can help me fix this issue?
P.S. I am using macOS Mojave.
Thank you!

This is probably the warning about 32bit apps, a lot of people are getting confused by this. Quite simply it means that with the introduction of macOS Catalina in the fall 32 bit apps will not function in the new OS. If you stay on Mojave or any other macOS 32bit apps will continue to work, you do not need to do anything.
If you are running Adobe Creative Suite or single Adobe apps like Photoshop, Illustrator etc, some of these apps which are 64bit
require the assistance of other Adobe apps that might be 32bit, so you may experience difficulties with running Photoshop or whatever if you upgrade to Catalina. I would imagine that Adobe will not address this situation as they will take this opportunity to get you on Adobe CC and their subscription model, but you can ask Adobe their thoughts on that. You are under no obligation to upgrade to Catalina, you can keep running Mojave and your 32bit apps quite happily. If you do feel the need to upgrade to Catalina then consider that you can split your HD or SSD in to two partitions, one with the new OS and the other with Mojave and your Adobe applications on the other using System Preferences> Startup Disk to boot between the two OS's.

The warning is just because the next 64-bit only system Catalina does not run old 32-bit applications.
So you must make sure that such applications are updated to 64-bit versions before you upgrade from Mojave.
Hi Eau Rouge,
Your informative answer make me feel more confident now. Thank you very much!
