What's wrong with my Mac?
Do you love your Mac but you don't want to have to spend hours learning about what makes computers tick? You just want to work! Fine, just call us.
We've been diagnosing Mac problems for more than 10 years so we can usually spot the problem and suggest the best way to get your mac healthy again, in plain English
We can quote the cost of the job before we start and stick to that price. You do your job and we do ours, no fuss, no drama.
I want to upgrade to the latest operating system.
10.5 Leopard offers neat advantages over it's predecessors, like automatic Time Machine backup as well as added functionality in iCal, Address Book and more. 10.6 Snow Leopard is even more attractive if you have an intel Mac.
Experience suggests , however, that putting the new system disk in and pressing the upgrade button isn't the best way to go. Any existing problems tend to be magnified. Far better for us to take the opportunity to back up your data and erase your hard disk. Then we do a fresh install and transfer back your data. This way your Mac is close as possible to new.
I want to change from Windows to Mac, I need help to tranfer my data and find my way around my new Mac.
Congratulations, good move. We can ease you through this important transition with a minimum of fuss.
We can export your data from your Windows programs, such as Outlook, and import them into your choice of programs on the Mac. We can give non-partisan advice on which programs to choose where applicable. In most cases there is a Mac version of most mainstream Windows programs.
We can even set you up with your Windows operating system running on your Intel Mac so you have both options available. We can show you the important similarities and differences in digestible portions.
I don't think I'm using my Mac as effectively as I could be.
When one is working hard to meet deadlines you don't have time to search around for the many shortcuts and useful features that improve productivity and help you meet the deadline.
Small changes can produce big results. For example synching your team's calendars (through iCal, without signing up to Mobile Me) saves time trying to arrange meetings that fit busy schedules. See what everyone's doing, even if they're on the road.
That's why we've introduced our News and Info page where we regularly publish stuff that will help you use your Mac more effectively.
Why can't I get this program to do what I want?
Because the program is malfunctioning? Let us fix it for you. Or because you don't know what you're doing? ;-) Let us show you. We offer one on one training on specific issues. You don't need to waste time on anything that's not relevant - we'll target just what you need to know and teach you that. On
The office needs a proper server but the budget is tight.
No problem. You don't need the very latest Mac for server duty, we can help you find a good second hand Machine (like G5 desktop) at a reasonable price (say $500.00), install new hard disks (1TB for less than $200.00), install server software and configure it all for you.
Help! I'm buried under piles of paperwork. I want someone to help me get organised.
