Check the About Skype window to confirm you are on the latest version. Skype should automatically reload with the updated version.
#SKYPE NOT WORKING ON MAC SIERRA UPDATE#
Sometimes I have to enter my admin credentials again when the update process starts. With the About Skype window open, now you can enter your admin credentials.Īfter you've entered your admin credentials, you should notice a green Update button is now active in the About Skype window. and asking for authentication, do not enter your admin credentials yet.įirst, click on the Skype menu then About Skype. Skype is trying to add a new helper tool. When the pop up notification appears saying An update is ready to install. In order to successfully update Skype in macOS as a limited user, you must do it "manually". I was still having this problem after upgrading to Mojave (10.14) and I'm glad I finally figured out this work-around.
I have to kind of "hand-hold" Skype through the update process, and open the correct window even though there is no indication from Skype that I need to do this. So, I was right that Skype has a problem, because it is prompting me to perform the auto-update, but supplying the credentials is not enough.

I recently did a clean install of High Sierra, and I had hoped this problem would disappear. Note that I had this same problem back in Yosemite running whatever version of Skype was the latest back then. So I'm constantly being harassed with this notification, and no matter how many times I authenticate the request (dozens of times so far), it just keeps coming back. Dont bother testing Skype or other third-party apps until you have your camera working with Apple apps.

the window will inevitably appear again after an hour or two. If your cam wont work properly with Apple apps in any OS X 10.11.4 user account, use OS X Recovery to completely reinstall your Mac OS X 10.11.4 from the Recovery System stored on your startup drive. The authentication window simply disappears and nothing happens.īut even worse.
However, with Skype, it seems something is simply not working - like perhaps it wasn't designed with Standard users in mind.Īfter entering my Administrator credentials - nothing installs. Now, I've had other programs ask for similar authentications for updates and installs from time to time, and I simply put in my credentials and it installs some update quickly and I continue about my business. and asking for my Administrator account credentials. However, I specifically have an irritating problem with Skype, where it will pop up a authentication Window stating:Īn update is ready to install. This seems to mostly work on macOS ( except for this previously noted annoyance). In other words, I always use my system as a Standard user and never login to the Admin user (except when doing the initial clean install and configuration). I always run my systems under an Admin \ Standard user dichotomy.
