Testimonials

Many thanks to Keith Cox @appelkc for once again resolving our mac problem. Highly Recommended!

Antony CDP Printing Telford

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

For a few months my iMac had attitude about nearly everything. Keith didn’t give up until I was back on the road – proving once again that he really is the fourth emergency service!

Marianne, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Just wanted to say thank you for an excellent job on the screen replacement. We are delighted with it. New glass fitted to iMac 21.5″.

Alex, W Mids

I know nothing about Macs and how they work but depend on them these days for all my illustration work. Without the help and support of Appel it would be very difficult. PowerBook G4 screen repair.

John, Cannock, Staffordshire

The service was great, dropped the iPad off with you for you to assess what was wrong and was told the same day and then all options were advised and as soon as the school decided what they wanted to do the work was carried out quickly and I picked the iPad up a couple of days later. Very good customer service and very promptly carried out. Will definitely be coming back to you for more fixes in the future.

Stuart, Telford, Shropshire

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 no hesitation in recommending Appel. I have used them on several occasions and always found them to be professional and cost effective. Mac Mini strip & clean logic board and replace faulty RAM.

Faults and Solutions

iPad 2 dropped by client. Glass is intact but no screen. Stripped and tested LCD needed replacing.

6 iPad 2s repaired – 3 new glass/digitisers, 2 new screens (LCDs) and 1 home button dock connector assembly. All turned round in a day & client delighted.

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.

Black MacBook client replaced HD themselves and not working, will not install OS. Reformatted new HD and set up with new OS. Failed hard drive is now working as it should

MacBook Pro 13″ adware & virus removal completed for client using Adware Medic & ClamXav. Saved all then replaced HD with larger 1TB hard drive & transferred all client data, programs & settings to new drive.

15″ MacBook Pro repair – running slow. Will be speeded up with upgrade of memory to 16GB and new 1TB SSD. This Mac upgrade with a good internal clean will make dramatic improvement.

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

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?

Difficulty setting up wireless printer was resolved by completing the setup using a fixed USB connection to install all drivers & updates. Then removed cables & finished wireless setup. All good.

27″ iMac no power & no power light. Checked diagnostic LEDs & found no power output from PSU. Replacement power supply ordered to replace faulty power.
