Sure you can, but the image quality might not be as good as you¡¯d like. TV resolution is generally poorer per inch compared to computer displays.

Re: new computer and memory
Another thing to look for is old backups of mobile devices. If your recent backups are in iCloud, you may find ones on your Mac are well out of date and unnecessary. Look in About This Mac > Storage > Manage > iOS Files.

Re: Xfinity/Comcast router
The last time I got a new router and modem from spectrum it had the password written right on there or should I say engraved on the side one of the devices,and I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any way to change that password. I suppose it¡¯s possible if I call them up and say I want to change the password they might do it but personally I just I¡¯m happy that I can still remember the password and I haven¡¯t had any problems keeping the one I have. I¡¯m really not sure why companies do this. It used to be I could put in my we anwe are at own password or change it whenever; then they stopped doing that.

Re: new computer and memory
I am pretty sure that my computer right now which is running out of space has a huge amount of documents and apps and a whole bunch of other stuff which I have stored on the hard drive and taking up a ton of room. I would still rather have more storage in my computer, but once I backup this laptop I¡¯m I¡¯m going to get a lot of stuff, especially pictures and videos off my computer it probably then give me more hard drive room
As I have written before I know I need a computer with larger storage space,and I¡¯ll get to it but it still bothers me that my 2017 MacBook Pro laptop is still considered an old computer and not really back by Apple so they say. I don¡¯t belong to the throw out A message generation until I have to. At least if I do have a problem, I can call Apple help and they¡¯re very willing to talk to me. It¡¯s probably the main reason I would stick with APPLE but a lot of things being being these days I¡¯m not fcrazy about with APPLE. When I pay a lot of money for a computer or a phone and the years past very quickly, I¡¯m still not willing to just throw it out or trade it in until I really have to.

New versions of Windows routinely take up a lot more space on one¡¯s hard drive, and require more RAM. Because of this, many Mac users just assume that each new version of the Mac OS is going to balloon out of control, and that it will need a lot more RAM to run than previous versions.
Except¡they don¡¯t. While the size of the Mac OS has become larger, it hasn¡¯t ballooned out of control. And instead of each new version of the Mac OS requiring a lot more RAM to run, generally each new version (for at least the last decade) has become more efficient in the use of RAM, not less. Apple has made their memory management smarter and smarter, and they have implemented RAM compression. See:
Opinion: Is the base MacBook Air M1/8GB powerful enough for you?
8GB vs 16GB M1 MacBook Pro - How much RAM do you NEED?!
Apple insists 8GB unified memory equals 16GB regular RAM
Apple Silicon Unified Memory: How Much Mac RAM Do You Need?
The exception is the very latest M4 Macs. Apple is slowly rolling out Apple Intelligence in Sequoia, which will be a bit RAM hungry. So Apple now includes 16GB of RAM as the minimum. For most users, this will be plenty. Since Apple Intelligence mostly won¡¯t work on older versions of the Mac OS, your older Mac won¡¯t need a RAM upgrade.
Christina called it ¡°memory¡± but isn¡¯t it actually storage that she is referring to, drive capacity, *not* RAM?

Re: Xfinity/Comcast router
Hi Pat,
If you're not getting anywhere, try logging into the XB3 _directly_, i.e., the modem/router/DHCP server box they gave you.
Most likely you are on the 192.168.0.xxx or the 192.168.1.xxx IP range and therefore normally try just typing in either one of these IP addresses to at least get to the router management page to sign in using your browser. Just type in or copy/paste these IP addresses into the browser URL field and hit enter. You'll either get a 404- not found, or if you're lucky you'll get to the login page. Try the following:
192.168.0.1
or
192.168.1.1
One of these might bring up a login window. Now you need to know the login name and password for the router, which has nothing to do with your WiFi password. Typically if no one has changed the login/PW try something like the following login name and PW's:
admin
admin
admin
cusadmin
If all this works you can now "manage" your router yourself. Just be extremely careful not to make _any_ changes that you are not certain about.
Look for the WiFi tab or link which should take you to a page(s) where you can set up, among other things, your WiFi PW. Go to the WiFi SSID name and the WiFi PW fields and enter what you want the WiFi name to be called and the password that you want. Take a screenshot or write all this down. Then click on the "save" button. Normally at this point the router will do a full reboot, which may take a minute or so. Let the router go through all the normal bootup until you see the "Internet" LED flashing which means the router has connected to your ISP successfully to establish an Internet connection. I have a Comcast Business (It's actually a Cisco Technicolor) router and it takes almost a minute to totally stabilize.
Now, if everything above worked, on your WiFi devices look for the (new if you changed it) WiFi name, select it, and now enter the exact new PW (case sensitive). It should authenticate, and you're in. In addition, your devices will probably now remember the login and PW for all future connections.
This is the simplistic scenario, and with a little luck should work, however, there are many other factors I'll save for another day that may be involved.
Le me know if you get anywhere with the above suggestions.
All the best,
John

Re: Xfinity/Comcast router
Our internet was off for several months at our condo. When we got here I determined the router was bad. Took it into the Xfinity store for a replacement Tried to get the new one to work but no go. Had a tech come out to see what was wrong. He said there were some wiring issues that he fixed and told me the brand new router was no good. He replaced it and all is well. The only problem I had was it didn¡¯t want to connect to my Nest thermostat. We finally figured out he had put the password that I wanted in wrong. 4 numbers and 1 of the four was wrong. :-)

I don¡¯t know if it would help, but from the laptop, I would try using the Merge function since deleting isn¡¯t working. Keep us posted on the fix.

When I opened Contacts on my iPhone 15 running the latest software I¡¯ve got 30 contacts of the same person. Not all my contacts just certain ones. I get on my laptop running the latest OS and delete the duplicate but after deleting them they pop right back up in Contacts.
I¡¯ve restarted the iPhone but that doesn¡¯t help.
What¡¯s going on ? Any ideas ?

Well I thought deleting the multiple contacts from iCloud had fixed the problem but when I opened Contacts on my laptop the duplicates have reappeared.

Now that you mention it, I seem to recall that when it was released the Apple slogan regarding iCloud syncing was, "The Truth is in the Cloud." Does this sound familiar to anyone?
