Not able to change my profile picture Hi, I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and try to change its Lock Screen profile picture after logging in. It changed in the system settings but for the Lock Screen it's still the same. I know its not a big deal but it just annoys me. I hope you have a solution to this problem Thank you for reading [Image Edited by Moderator to Remove Personal Information]

Macbook user login photo randomly changed without me changing it I opened my macbook and I saw my user photo changed to a .... tennis ball? I did not make this change. The only reason it could have changed that I can think of - is because earlier today, on my iphone, which is the same icloud as my macbook, I updated my contact information to include my home address so I could have it on the maps for navigation. I never setup a photo for my icloud so maybe it autogenerated my no photo to a premade photo upon an update of my contact? I am baffled.

Mac personalization Whenever I shut down my mac and turn it back on again, the initial lock screen with my profile is a default apple image. I have personalized my lock screen to match my wallpaper but still, whenever I fully shutdown my mac and turn it back on again, its changes back to the apple image. Is this an issue apple needs to fix or can I change something in my settings so I can personalize that specific screen when I turn my mac on.
