Testimonials

A brilliant service got me up and running when Apple wanted a fortune just to examine my iMac.

iMac 24” replace faulty video card

Richard, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Would not hesitate to use you again. I don’t do emails but as you did a good job on my 5 year old 17″ MacBook Pro I made an exception. New HD and overhaul.

Dave, Telford, Shropshire

Appel gives the sort of service one dreams of. When my old G5 Mac died on me on a Monday morning, a quick phone call to Keith and I was off to Telford to see if this boffin could fix it. He couldn’t – but he did rescue all my data and was incredibly helpful with all the discussion then to buy my fabulous new iMac. Brilliant service, and also really helpful after-care conversations. Can’t recommend him highly enough. New Intel iMac migrated data from failed iMac G5 and set up Time Machine backup.

… Chloe, Ludlow, Shropshire

I phoned on a Friday brrought it to Keith on the Saturday. All fixed within minutes then left it in for a service. Very professional and not too expensive. I shall use Keith again and would highly recommend him.

iMac 24″ upgraded OS and replaced faulty RAM

Madeline, Church Stretton, Shropshire

Had the video card on my iMac go a while back and as I need it to run my business, required an urgent fix. Found Appel through recommendation and contacted Keith who was straight on it. He managed to find a replacement card and I was up and running again in a short space of time. Keith provides a fast and efficient service at a reasonable cost, which for my business is spot-on.

iMac 24″ transferred all data from faulty PC laptop

Jeremy, Hadnall, Shropshire

Keith came highly recommended for Apple repair by my brother. Although my repair was a little more serious and my Apple Mac had to be sent to the States for diagnostics and repair the turnaround was excellent and I had my Mac back in just over a week. Keith kept me updated with progress and costs all the way. I can’t recommend Keith enough!!

13″ MacBook Air replaced LCD panel

Carol, Newport, Shropshire

Great service. A little hiccup from supplier parts, but resolved in a timely fashion and all is well. Overall, satisfied with the entire experience.

MacBook Pro 13″ data recovery & replace HD

Jag, Stafford, Staffordshire

Very friendly and honest service with no charge for fault finding, I wont use anyone else!

Oliver, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Keith’s service was outstanding; not only did he rescue all my valuable photos and documents from my iMac’s hard drive which had virtually seized up, he also did it whilst I waited and I was able to take away the files in a mounted caddy drive. In addition to this he was able to let me leave his offices with a super secondhand MacBook which was a useful short-term solution as I had no working computer at that moment. Independent service. Very reasonable prices. Basically the complete opposite of…

Roger, Hednesford, Staffs

Faults and Solutions

MAcBook Pro 13″ has wireless dropping off frequently. Checked all internal components and HD failing. Replaced HD, installed virgin OS X and all works fine. Migrated client data and back to square one. Investigation ongoing.

iPad 4 with broken screen. Old glass all removed and new glass/digitiser fitted.

MacBook Pro 13″ liquid damage. Stripped down to find keyboard and internals have been flooded with coffee. Requires new keyboard and possibly logic board which can be expensive! Client collected and may return.

PowerBook diagnosed & fitted replacement power input board, faulty battery replaced and just need a replacement keyboard now

Downgrade Yosemite back to Mavericks. This is not a simple task and the only way to save your data is if you have a recent back up using Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. Takes around a day!

Apple advise that virus protection should not be required if you keep your Mac OS up to date. In fact many supposed protection software grab lots of processor & RAM slowing Macs down by interrupting OS X system calls. If you are still worried go App Store and download free ClamXav and run once a month or if you are worried.

Sold refurbished iMac 27″ including transfer of all data from old 17″ iMac running Mac OS X.4. This requires OS on original to be updated to 10.6.8 and all programs updated to run on newer OS, especially iTunes & iPhoto. Then the data can be transferred successfully.

iPhone 5C replaced glass/digitiser and completed in the one day.

MacBook repair sent to us from Hertfordshire. Main hard drive has physical damage and needs to go to laboratory for clean room recovery. New drive fitted with OS & software. Ready to ship back to client.
