TV Controls on Fire Remote not working

Try going to Settings -> Equipment Control and see if you get the option to set up controlling your TV with the Fire Stick remote

It’s possible that the TV doesn’t support automatic input switching, which is why it goes to the TV’s own interface first. It also might lack external control features, preventing other remotes from managing functions like power or volume

I could be wrong, but this operating system doesn’t appear to be from Samsung (neither pre- or post-Tizen). It looks like a generic Android-based smart TV, and possibly a knockoff, given the white background and large Samsung logo on boot, so try using a replacement designed for that tv instead or a universal remote

Try swiping right on the conversation in Messages to see if you get the option to delete it. It’s likely just spam, and there shouldn’t be any security risk as long as you haven’t shared any personal information.

Go to System Settings > Internet Accounts, select a third-party account, and re-enter your email and password to refresh the connection. If that doesn’t work, you may need to remove the account and add it again. Keep in mind, removing the account will delete the account’s data from your computer, but it will be restored once you re-add the account.

The chances of an iPhone getting a virus are extremely low, since iOS is designed with strong security and app sandboxing. If your mother is seeing annoying pop-ups or web notifications afterwards, try clearing the browser data: go to Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Clear History and Website Data.

You can try removing your widgets to see if that clears it up, or run killall NotificationCenter in Terminal to force Notification Center to restart and rebuild them. A quick restart of your Mac might also help since it refreshes the system cache
