macOS Catalina 10.15.7 update withdrawn by Apple
iPhone received several complaints from MacBook users. They report that their MacBook has suddenly become very hot since the most recent update, to macOS Catalina 10.15.7, for no concrete reason. The fans have also been working overtime for some MacBook users since the software update, resulting in noise pollution.
Does this sound familiar? Then try logging out of iCloud (via the Settings and then Apple ID), then logging in to the cloud storage again. Doesn’t this work? According to some Mac users, it pays to sign out your Apple ID completely and then add it again.
If this temporary solution doesn’t help either, you can always try to go back to an earlier (stable) macOS version via Time Machine.
