Update:

System Hung and it Needs Service:


I backed up my Mac. Then, it appears overnight that it tried to update to 10.15.7. It got hung, resulting in an unsuccessful update.


I called Apple Support. The Apple Rep told me that Catalina is going to be inaccessible for 2 weeks. So, I restored it from a 10.15.6 TMB over-the-phone with Apple Support. I will let it be for a week until I hear back from Apple. This is being looked in to.


So, with Catalina being inaccessible for download (according to the Apple Rep) for two weeks, I am told to refrain from upgrading my Mac to Big Sur until 10.16.1 is released (that way bugs can be fixed).


What this all comes down to is getting this bar alias to go away. The restoration from a backup not containing the bar folder nor the bar alias kept it there.


Expect an update sometime later on.

Thanks John.


I always learn a lot by talking with the Apple Specialists (and others in this forum). It is the easy way out. Thing is: I’m doing what they recommend, so that I don’t damage my device.



As I commonly ask : “Why risk a Damaged Device?”

Apple's practice of hosting a site like this to buffer their techs from answering anything directly (?) is pretty annoying. Can Apple-official please weigh in: is the Adobe message legit? What are the steps to properly uninstall whatever it's pointing at?


If Apple provides no direct support here, then they should stop spamming the search results on Apple OS / iOS tech questions and let us find our own answers without dragging us here to what is a fairly low-quality trouble-shooting resource (sorry other users, but agreed, right?).
