Testimonials

My hard drive failed (after 6 years) and there was no chance of retrieving the data. Keith installed a new HD, retrieved data from my Time Machine and I was back to normal within 24 hours. In addition he happily sorted out a few niggling problems. Very professional and quick, as ever.

iMac 24” replaced failed hard disk, data recovery & set up virus trojan protection.

I have bought my last two desktop computers from Appel. If you are on a budget then this is a very good option. Keith is a very hard working and straightforward person and knows all there is to know about Apple products. Appel is a real find, highly recommended.

Keyboard replacement for my MacBook, done while I waited. Not only quick, efficient, professional and helpful, but economical as well. All repairs/upgrades for my Apple stuff will definitely be done at Appel Service in future. Why pay more to get less?

David, Leominster, Herefordshire

Had my 27″ iMac hard drive replaced and an update in RAM from 4 to 8gb. Also purchased a used Apple track pad at the same time. I was absolutely over the moon with the total price (cheap as Asda) And amazed at how quick the repair and upgrade took. A* service by an A* person.

My experience in dealing with Keith to repair two of our iMac’s can only be described as “Superlative”

Drennan, Norbury, Staffs

Keith has saved my Macbook Pro’s twice in the last five years when on both occasions I thought all was lost, he is simply gifted (!) ….and I am very grateful! Keith provides not only the highest technical expertise but the honest advice and calm problem solving we all need in the face of a Mac meltdown, and he does it as soon as he can and he delivers, thank you Keith! I will continue to travel long distances for him to sort my Mac.

Keith is a miracle worker. Like a skilled surgeon he managed to revive a very sick mac and bring it back to life. He is a life saver and he is also a very nice man. If I ever have computer issues, he is the first and only person I call. iMac HD repair plus on-site file sharing & comms support.

Louise, Oswestry, Shropshire

You are an official Mac God !!

Faults and Solutions

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.

20” iMac brought in with failed HD. Recovered part of the data but the majority is lost with NO backup. Installed new HD with OS & transferred little recovered data. Advised client the FileVault client is not accessible and only way to get data is send to laboratory for compete dismantling in a clean room. Cost around £500 and no guarantees. Ouch – have you backed up today?

15″ MacBook Pro Unibody i7 upgrade RAM & replace failing HD. Permanent errors on hard drive but managed to repair temporarily and recover all data. 2 x 4G RAM fitted, new drive & data recovery completed. NB we have software to test integrity of drives in more detail than Apple’s Disk Utility. Sometimes a pass in Disk Utility does not mean the disk is OK as experienced by this client. Symptoms are slow performance and poor data transfer speeds.

13″ MacBook Air water damaged, liquid inside casing. Stripped all down and dried out carefully over 2 days. Cleaned any oxidation from components. Rebuilt and all good. Also increased RAM from 4 to 8GB & repaired broken keys on keyboard. MacBook Air like new again & all working.

External hard drive failed. Stripped down and recovered all data to new external USB hard drive. Full data recovery completed successfully.

MacBook white A1181 with no backlight on LCD. The backlight is built into the LCD on this MAcBook model so LCD panel replaced and all good.

iMac 21.5″ random advertisements appearing in Safari and running very slow. Adware Medic installed and some rogue software deleted. Restart & run again all clean & good.

Acer Aspire PC, yes we can get PCs reliably repaired too, broken cables internally from a previous bodge job. New cable fitted and internals cleaned up including solder work.

27″ iMac 2011 went from fractured screen graphics to blue or black screen. Usual signs of video card failure which costs over £400 to replace. Advised client there was a recall on this model & to take to AppleStore who would repair for free. One happy client!

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.
