Hi ambwng,
Thanks for following up. In that case, let us know what happens if you sign out of the App Store on your Mac, then restart your computer before signing back in. To sign out head into the App Store app, click Store in the menu bar, then Sign Out.
We're here for you if you've got any questions.
Take care.

Hi ambwng,
Thanks for confirming. We'll be sure to point you in the right direction.
Let's start your Mac in safe mode to verify if the issue resolves itself. Safe mode clears cached data and prevents login items from loading, so it's a great way to test if an issue is related to cached data or login items.
Here's a detailed guide with the steps to start and test in safe mode:

Hi ambwng,
Thanks for reaching out through Apple Support Communities! We're certainly glad to look into this with you and help, so that your Apple ID photo updates properly in the Mac App Store app.
Let us know if it helps to edit or change the profile picture directly on the iCloud website following the instructions in this guide:
Change your Apple ID photo in Settings on iCloud.com
Have a great day!
Hi again ambwng,
If you're unable to start your iMac in safe mode, will it be possible to try again while using a different keyboard? Please also be sure to disconnect any other external devices that aren't needed.
If you find that the issue persists, reach out for further direct assistance via Apple Support site here:
Take care!
Thank you for the reply :)
Sadly my 1st keyboard keeps spamming the letter d so i wont be able to use it. My second one wont connect bc you have to enter certain numbers for it to connect and the number keys are broken on it.
Will this work? I found it on this website:
How to Boot to Safe Mode in macOS - Make Tech Easier
If Your Mac Has No Keyboard to Boot Up In Safe Mode or You Can’t Use Shift Key
If you don’t have a keyboard to boot up in safe mode, but you can access your Mac remotely, configure it to start up in Safe mode from a command line.
1. Open Terminal remotely or log in to your Mac using SSH to access the command line.
2. Use this Terminal command:
sudo nvram boot-args="-x"
3. After using safe mode, return to normal startup using this Terminal command:
sudo nvram boot-args=""
Or is there a solution without having to do safe mode?
Again, thanks all.
Hi, thank you for replying!
The profile picture was up to date on the icloud website too. I done the steps and nothing has changed. Thank you though.
Hi,
Thanks although the solution didnt work.
Hi, is there an alternative method to start safe mode? As my keyboard disconnects when i turn off my imac and doesnt connect back until i do it manually?
