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.

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

iPhone 4 refusing to boot past Apple logo then dies. Reset the firmware and installed new battery and all is well again.

External hard drive dropped. Diagnosed displaced or broken heads. Sent to specialist laboratory for strip down & rebuild in clean environment for best chance of full data recovery.

15″ MacBook Pro Retina new screen assembly supplied & fitted for nearly half the cost of his other quotes. Richard, Telford, Shropshire

Appel provide a fast, efficient and friendly service. iMac 21.5″ hard disk replacement Keith, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

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

iPad 3 broken glass and client fancies a change. New white bezel glass & home button installed replacing the old black one.

I am very happy to have found you after feeling rather in the wilderness with any Mac support near by. I happily spend an hour’s drive to get to your place loaded with my MacMini because within a very short time you not only answer all my questions concerning iPhone, Back ups, Time machine and Video receptions but also recommended a very efficient backup system to archive my photography and video/film work. As a pensioner I have to be careful with money I can afford but I felt the pricing was… Wilf, Oswestry, Shropshire

Top job on my quad core i7 iMac when the hard drive packed up. Keith fitted a new replacement and saved a lot of my vital data, fast service and good prices. Many thanks, you are my first call from now on. iMac 27” replaced faulty hard disk & data recovery. Phil, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands

Thanks again Keith, MacBook Pro is brilliant, it’s like having a new computer! Mac repaired with new keyboard, RAM upgrade (memory) & a new OS installation. Emily, Much Wenlock, Shropshire

Another iPad 2 dropped and glass did not serve. Replaced broken scree with new glass/digitiser.

I have been thoroughly satisfied with the job thanks – it’s worked consistently since I got it home. My airport card was installed into my iMac with the minimum of fuss while I waited. It was set up and tested before I left and all at a fraction of the price (and turnaround time) that other companies had quoted. I would not hesitate to use Appel again. Alison, Designer, Cheshire

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

If you need work on your Mac look no further than Appel. Keith provides a service which goes over and above what could be reasonably expected, a rarity today. Excellence in knowledge, technical skills, value and customer service. iMac new HD installed & Time Machine data recovered Chris, Pontesbury, Shropshire

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

Appel gives the sort of service one dreams of. When my old G5 Mac died on me on a Monday morning, a quick phone call to Keith and I was off to Telford to see if this boffin could fix it. He couldn’t – but he did rescue all my data and was incredibly helpful with all the discussion then to buy my fabulous new iMac. Brilliant service, and also really helpful after-care conversations. Can’t recommend him highly enough. New Intel iMac migrated data from failed iMac G5 and set up Time Machine backup.… Chloe, Ludlow, Shropshire

Just a quick note to say thanks again to Keith for his excellent service. My wife’s old white MacBook was on it’s last legs so he supplied us with an excellent 13″ MacBook Pro for a very reasonable price. Graham, Craven Arms, Shropshire

Keith repaired our iMac that had numerous viruses other people just couldn’t do anything with. We hadn’t really been able to use it for a year or so. A friend told me about Keith and he worked wonders!! It is just as new after he had it for an hour or so, couldn’t believe it this has been about 6 months ago still working great. So happy would recommend Keith to anyone, very clever chap and doesn’t rip you off too, very reason priced. A1 service I just can’t praise enough, but just sa… Andy, Cannock, Staffs

My iMac died. I rushed it over to Keith at Appel who diagnosed a dead power supply. He ordered one for delivery the next day and so I had the machine back within less than 24 hours. I was very impressed. Then disaster struck – it died again the same day. Back to Keith the following morning. He spent at least two hours dismantling the machine to sort the problem – and didn’t charge! Fantastic service. iMac 21.5” replaced faulty PSU & battery Richard, Wolverhampton, West Midlands

Thanks for sorting out our ibook. Now its upgraded to OSX 10.7.5 and backing up on the nice little hard drive you supplied, its doing all the things a Mac should do again. I am sure it will be good for another 2-3 years. Thanks again for this and all the other times your knowledge has proved invaluable, long may you be around. MacBook RAM upgrade, new battery & complete housekeeping Len, Broseley, Shropshire

13″ MacBook Pro repair – please speed up my MacBook Pro. Installed new RAM to 8GB, replaced HD with SSD, updated OS to Yosemite and cleared all junk & 3rd party utilities before migrating client data across. Running like an express train said the client.

Keith offers a great service – a reliable, knowledgeable and sensibly priced solution. MacBook replaced hard disk drive and attempted data recovery. George, Clun, Shropshire

“If you thinks its expensive hiring a professional, wait until you try an amateur!” Rings true with a couple of recent jobs: iMac 27” brought in after somebody offered the client a cheap HD replacement…. my cost to diagnose & fix was over £400 to replace the logic board that was shorted as a result of not working in a static protected environment. An iPad came in a few weeks ago, not working after having a new screen fitted at a pc repair shop locally. Having paid them for the repair that…

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 Elisa, designer, Telford, Shropshire
