Sorted Flash install with error “not enough permissions on disk”. Mac software repair achieved by deleting all flash instals and updater files, then installed a new copy from here https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Hope my client has the same luck I did

Just when everything is running smoothly, on our amazing Macs that we are totally reliant on, something unexpected happens…down time…Nooo!!! It’s so good to know at the other end of the phone is someone who you can talk to and will fix it. I have been dealing with Keith now for 17 years. Very happy rabbit.

@appelkc Thank you for helping one of our students!” MacBook crashed hard disk replaced and all data recovered. UniOfBuckigham

Sincere thanks to Keith at Appel for saving the day – and my life. My portable hard drive had years of work on it. When it crashed, my life flashed before my eyes. You were so calm and helpful, I immediately felt better just discussing the problem with you. Then when you retrieved all my information from the broken hard drive and put it safely on a new one, the relief was immense ! I can not thank you enough for your incredible expertise at a very reasonable price. Fantastic service! Fu… Carol-Angela, Telford, Shropshire

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

Fantastic customer service, really helpful and informative! took time to make sure everything was setup! highly recommend. Leah, Stafford

I was very pleased to hear of Keith’s expertise some years ago and his knowledge on Mac computers is unbelievable. This is my second visit this time to fix a damaged hard drive with an SSD. That apart he also transferred my records, including many photos, from iCloud. He will always go that extra mile in explaining technical details in terms that one can understand. Very highly recommended. Keith, Llangollen

I was very happy with the service you provided considering the appalling service I received from a previous company with a supposedly good reputation! Your estimate was accurate for what I requested and you were upfront in letting me know that some of the repairs/upgrades may not be possible. Fortunately they were and all for the price you quoted me. Your turn around was very quick considering my high street shop took nearly six weeks to tell me they couldn’t do what I wanted. I would *definitel… Linda from Worcester

Thank you so much for updating my vintage MacBook! It’s given it a whole new lease of life and is running beautifully. An excellent service, very friendly and efficient. Lynsey, Telford, Shropshire

I’ve used Appel a couple of times now and the service has been excellent. It’s nice to know that, although my Apple kit is a little old (G5 iMac and G4 powerbook), there is somebody local who you can trust and who will get things back up and running. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Appel to family and friends. First class service, keep up the good work. Repair iMac G5 20″ with new psu & hard disk. Mike, Telford, Shropshire

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.

Back home, plugged in switched on all working and seems fine. Thank you again, Frances Frances, Telford, Shropshire

I have dealt with a few IT “gurus”in the past but Appel top them all…….many thanks. 27” iMac repair Lez, Ludlow, Shropshire

As always, Keith’s service is amazing. He seems to be on tap with solutions to problems, shortcuts around issues and if all else fails, speedy re-builds and repairs in amazingly short time.

I thought my MacBook was a goner, but thanks for bringing it back to life (reminder to self: in future don’t bother to clean the keyboard.) MacBook repair new keyboard & top case Mike, Church Stretton, Shropshire

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
