Testimonials

Keith has always been ready at the other end of the phone if I have a query with my Mac.

iMac G5 supplied with part ex of old (broken) eMac.

Chris, Cardington, Shropshire

Thank you for your very friendly and much appreciated expert and professional help and advice in resolving the several software issues with my 27 inch iMac. Thank you too for keeping me updated on the progress of the work, albeit you repaired my iMac very promptly, and the very detailed report on all the work you carried out together with advice for future use of my iMac. I am most grateful for your excellent customer service. I will most definitely be using your all round first class services a…

John, Machynlleth, Powys

I’m extremely happy with my rejuvenated 2005 PowerBook G4, it’s running better than ever since its hard drive transplant & I’m relieved to know I have somewhere that can rapidly & expertly fix my vintage Mac at an affordable price, especially as Apple themselves are unable to repair anything they consider an antique. PowerBook G4 15 HD replacement & data migration.

Richard, Staffordshire

Thanks Keith for the great assistance at very short notice to sort out my iMac that had frozen and was looking like it would have to spend 10 days waiting to be fixed by Apple (as it was under warranty). Your advice worked perfectly. Thank you lots for keeping it on the road. Computers are ‘business critical’ – especially for small businesses without replacement machines and IT depts – your assistance was a huge help

John, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Once again, Keith delivers the goods, exactly what I wanted. What would we Telford Macaddicts do without him? Supplied used iMac and data transferred.

Norman, Telford, Shropshire

Wow!! What exceptionally wonderful local service today! I accidentally cracked the face of my ipad (which is invaluable to me) last evening … I found Appel’s address online this morning, spoke to you and delivered my ipad to you at around 11.30am. at 5pm I had a telephone call saying new glass front has been fitted, ipad checked and all in working order and ready for collection.

Kathy, Telford, Shropshire

I have known Keith for nearly 27 years – and during which time, (apart from the world-travelling Apple events we have been to) I have bought all my business Macs – and personal ones from him too – and that’s been quite a few over the years. I am pretty switched on with Mac software & kit – and support my own customers on a daily basis – buy occasionally you get a curved ball you can’t solve. A quick call to Keith – solves it every time – he knows Mac things better than anyone I know. Nothing is …

Greg, Telford, Shropshire

We were very grateful for the work you did on our Mac to recover our photos from our two and a half years in NZ. We would have been devastated to have lost those memories. iMac 20” corrupt HD – data recovery successful

Tom & Sarah, Wrexham

A big thank you to Appel for a very fast and economic repair on my iMac when they replaced the failed hard drive. Great friendly service and advice means I would recommend Appel every time. Intel iMac 20” new 320G HD

Peter, Walsall, West Midlands

Keith is reliable, expert, quick and great value for money. A real find and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anybody who uses Macintosh commercially or for recreation. 17″ MacBook Pro data recovery & LCD screen replacement.

Faults and Solutions

iMac 20″ & MacBook Pro 15″ both running sluggishly. Removed and binned all associated files for McAfee & Mac Keeper. Apple recommend NOT to use any virus protection that constantly monitors a Mac and Mac Keeper & associated files are a definite NO NO. Just make sure you keep your OS up to date with Apple’s security updates and if worried download free ClamXav fro AppStore and run once a month or when in doubt. Also checked for Adware using Adware Medic which is a really simple utility & free fr…

iPad 2 nightmare repair. When screen was smashed it fractured some internal cables. Playing hunt the fault with a box of new parts was no fun.

15″ MacBook Pro 2007 Aluminium model not booting. Diagnosed as new logic board required and client considering options.

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

MacBook Air with pint of beer spilt on it. Took over a week but resurrected after chemical clean and couple of new parts. All data saved and works like new.

20″ iMac not booting. HD has failed and requires extra RAM to run latest software. Client opted to buy used MacBook Unibody. Disk recovery failed in house so sent to HD laboratory for strip & rebel of drive tot recover data. Client’s back up disk was also faulty. Repaired HD & recovered all data to new drive in MacBook.

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.

iPhone 4 glass damaged. Removed broken glass and replaced screen/digitiser. All good

Running slow MacBook Pro 13 and sometimes not booting. Removed HD & tested as faulty then died. Replaced HD, data recovery on original and transferred all client recovered data to new drive. Boots every time, running mush faster & all client data recovered

MacBook Pro repair. Slow running and system hiccups. Checked applications running and processor overhead to find a number of virus protection apps & utility apps were impacting performance. The newer versions of OS X Mavericks & Yosemite are having even more problems with 3rd party utilities and virus checkers. Providing you keep your OS up to date they should not be necessary. Deleted all these utilities and everything running faster now.
