A patron was getting a notice that they must start using the Libby app not the Overdrive App. However, since they were using an Amazon Fire, that's not true. The Libby app isn't yet available in the Amazon App store. The Overdrive app is still the app for eBooks!

A patron was running out of space on their iCloud . So we downloaded the photos to an external hard drive and deleted them from the iCloud. While the pictures were no longer accessible on their iPhone, they were ok with only accessing them on the hard drive .

A patron was gifted their first smartphone and we had to explain how apps are preferred over going to a company's website and how to install new ones. For many of our patrons, tablets/smartphones are their first device. Which is a harder place to start from!

A patron wanted to factory reset a relative's Android table because they had passed away. 😞
We were able to get into the device and went to Settings > Factory Reset > Reset > Delete All to clear the data.

A patron was receiving new emails but couldn't send emails on her iPhone. It was a Verizon account, whose email is hosted by AOL. They now require users to use the AOL app not the Apple Mail app. So we downloaded that and she was good to go.

During a recent Tech Help Drop-in session, a patron's Chromebook had a popup open full screen and didn't have an X to close it out. After some searching we found the keyboard shortcut to close it out: Shift+Ctrl+W.
