iPhone 5C replaced glass/digitiser and completed in the one day.

PowerBook diagnosed & fitted replacement power input board, faulty battery replaced and just need a replacement keyboard now

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.

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.

Supplied iPad Mini refurbished plus new lighting mains cable. Found some braided lightning cables from Robert Dyas which do the job admirably and for less than £10.

MacBook Pro 15″ failed battery & failed hard drive. Replaced battery with new and removed HD to recovery station. Unable to recover any data from this drive – sent to HD laboratory who dismantled in a clean room and rebuilt so data could be saved. There was catastrophic damage to one platter of HD and this data was lost but the other 3 platters were recovered including critical data for client.

27″ iMac 2011 went from fractured screen graphics to blue or black screen. Usual signs of video card failure which costs over £400 to replace. Advised client there was a recall on this model & to take to AppleStore who would repair for free. One happy client!

20″ iMac starts up to black screen. Diagnosed failed HD. Hard drive replaced with new and new software installed. Data recovery on original successfully recovered critical data for client and migrated to new HD. OS was terminally damaged on original HD so data migration had to be done manually including repair and resetting of all file permissions.

24″ iMac to be upgraded to Mac OSX 10.9. Had to upgrade RAM to 8GB, upgrade to 10.6.8 then upgrade software so that all data could be updated ready to transfer to 10.9. Successfully installed 10.9 & migrated all data.

15″ MacBook Pro Unibody i7 upgrade RAM & replace failing HD. Permanent errors on hard drive but managed to repair temporarily and recover all data. 2 x 4G RAM fitted, new drive & data recovery completed. NB we have software to test integrity of drives in more detail than Apple’s Disk Utility. Sometimes a pass in Disk Utility does not mean the disk is OK as experienced by this client. Symptoms are slow performance and poor data transfer speeds.

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.

Appel are simply the best.

He offers advice for free and always does a great job. What else could you want!

Very quick and helpful response. Problem was with a faulty battery: a replacement was sourced speedily and at a good price. Even lent her a spare battery while we waited for the new one. MacBook not booting, battery fault.

Chris, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

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.
