Testimonials

I recently asked Appel to add some extra memory to my MacBook Pro.
It was done the same day and while I waited. Brilliant! MacBook Pro 13 RAM installed.

Hugh, Telford, Shropshire

Appel – incredibly useful local service for those of us stuck in the wilds – invaluable expertise from Keith on all things Mac. Very reliable, economic – and a quick turnaround. Iomega external drive failure. Recovered data and fitted to new enclosures

Keith came out to my house almost immediately when I had a problem – it was fixed so that I lost little time and important data that I was concerned may have been lost was restored. iMac repair, data recovery and set up backup solution.

Many thanks. You recently repaired my Macbook which had developed a distortion, which you repaired promptly and I have had no further trouble. I am therefore an entirely satisfied customer who would readily come back, and I recommend you to others. MacBook unibody replace LCD & glass

Thanks to Appel, my very old G4 Power Mac (which should have given up years ago) is still going! Your fast repair and excellent service was very much appreciated and you will be highly recommended to all my Mac user friends. Power Mac G4 replace failed PSU & rebuild

Oliver, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

I took my old battered iMac to Appel for a screen repair, hoping to get another 6 months out of it. I dropped my iMac off with Keith and within a few days it was back in my house complete with new screen and new outer casing. It looked like it was fresh out of the box. I was very impressed with the service I received and will definitely use Appel again. Typical vintage iMac repair, screen replaced and screen bezel/case

Faults and Solutions

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.

Client just called and has installed Yosemite on a 6 year old Mac. Appel do NOT recommend installing Yosemite on any Macs over 2 years old. This client is fetching his MAcBook in today and all that can be done is to erase the hard disk 7 install a compatible OS for his machine.

MacBook Pro with screen very loose. Diagnosed faulty hinge. Stripped & replaced hinges. Mac repair completed successfully within the day.

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

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…

MacBook white A1181, trackpad not working. Replaced whole topcase keyboard & trackpad. All works now. Trackpad & keyboard are not individually replaceable on this model so its a whole topcase.

MAcBook Air restored data from back up and configured all settings for client.

27″ iMac (new super slim model) extended repair time because faulty logic board had 2 faulty RAM sticks as well. All fixed under warranty.

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.
