Ben Shepard, Harris Teeter gift card Tip: When searching online using Google, use the minus sign to eliminate results containing certain words or entire sites. i.e. “hurricanes -hockey”
Dedan Langston, Chipotle gift card, Tip: Apple TV stuck because it can’t update time? Use internet connection sharing through your laptop or tether through your phone (if able). Once the time is set it won’t be a problem again.
Darren Taylor, iTunes gift card, Tip: A quick way to see how many apps you have running at once and to get to another app is by holding down the “Command+Tab” key. Keep “Command” held down while press “Tab” will scroll forward to the next app you want to get to. You can also quit the app by keeping “Command” hey down and pressing “Q”. “Command+Shift+Tab” will scroll backwards. Very handy!
