Testimonials

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.

We were very grateful for the work you did on our Mac to recover our photos from our two and a half years in NZ. We would have been devastated to have lost those memories. iMac 20” corrupt HD – data recovery successful

Tom & Sarah, Wrexham

27″ iMac not accepting DVDs. Tried simple clean but had to replace drive.

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

If you have a Mac and it needs fixing, or you want a pre-owned refurb, don’t go anywhere else but @appelkc, Keith’s a complete star. Top class service again from Keith. Thoroughly refurbed iMac supplied at a very reasonable price (having kept my ancient misused one going longer than anyone could have expected), set up just how I wanted it. Friendly, knowledgable, helpful people who mend stuff and speak normal English are like gold dust and Keith’s one of the best. Kath, Telford, 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

It’s always the same, a problem occurs or something isn’t working correctly but you carry on trying to fix it not wanting down time!!! If I contact someone to fix it they will charge and then there’s the time to fix the problem. You think! I have learnt after many occasions like this, the first port of call is simply email Appel, quite often any problems are simple to fix and require advise. Get it fixed before it creates further problems, it works better it makes you feel better and as for the … Mike, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

My hard drive failed (after 6 years) and there was no chance of retrieving the data. Keith installed a new HD, retrieved data from my Time Machine and I was back to normal within 24 hours.

Peter, Ketley, Telford, Shropshire

MacBook Pro 13″ trackpad failed & HD failing. Liquid damage visible internally was all cleaned up, trackpad & HD replaced. All data recovered and new drive installed.

Being an international picture agency where our photographers batter around apple macs more than the average user, when things go wrong they always happen at the wrong time which usually results in us needing an instant repair doing – sometimes a matter of hours before we jet off to our next destination. We cannot recommend Keith Cox and Appel highly enough, not only does he drop everything he is doing, repairs are done in an instant and failing that, concise, excellent solutions are found. Inva… Matt from Shrewsbury

“This guy really can carry out repairs / replacements of components on computer circuit boards. I can’t recommend the service Keith provides highly enough. I took my dead MacBook Pro in to the offices on Friday Lunchtime, it was repaired and I picked it up less than 24hrs later. FANTASTIC. The cost was 1/3 of what I had been quoted by anybody else, which made the repair very affordable. Keith, also, provided a software solution to help prevent the same thing happening again. Thanks very much Kei… Telford, Shropshire photographer

Sold refurbished iMac 27″ including transfer of all data from old 17″ iMac running Mac OS X.4. This requires OS on original to be updated to 10.6.8 and all programs updated to run on newer OS, especially iTunes & iPhoto. Then the data can be transferred successfully.

I cannot praise Appel enough, The last time you came, there had been a lightning strike in our area, so the problem was more complex than usual, but you soon had it rectified. I would be lost without your continuing help, you are always there at the end of the phone and respond so quickly. Many thanks for all your previous help. MacBook Unibody on-site call to reset logic board, PRAM & re-install all software.

Joyce, Shrewsbury, Shropshire

Earlier this year my iMac suffered a Hard Drive failure…I thought 6 years of my life had vanished… Keith calmed me down and set about the repairs…I had a new hard drive installed and he managed to recover 90% of my files!
