BUT deleting the app leaves residue & still a problem. Download Kaspersky uninstaller. Faults and Solutions

Apple advise that virus protection should not be required if you keep your Mac OS up to date. In fact many supposed protection software grab lots of processor & RAM slowing Macs down by interrupting OS X system calls. If you are still worried go App Store and download free ClamXav and run once a month or if you are worried. f&s

20″ iMac not booting. HD has failed and requires extra RAM to run latest software. Client opted to buy used MacBook Unibody. Disk recovery failed in house so sent to HD laboratory for strip & rebel of drive tot recover data. Client’s back up disk was also faulty. Repaired HD & recovered all data to new drive in MacBook.

Over several years, and at least 3 refurbished Macs books as well as a major repair on my pre-Intel desktop dinosaur, I have been very happy with Keith’s technical skill; dedication to trouble shooting; availability for managing all kinds of technical crises and his sense of humour. I’ll probably have to send computers to you from France, asI doubt I’ll be able to find anyone close to your ability there. Supplied MacBook Pro 13” refurbished Erica, London

Appel repaired a Mac Book Pro for me. From the minute of contact to the repair being completed the service was professional and specialised. The repair was done quickly and was very reasonably priced. This was in the Autumn and I have had no problems since. I would confidently take my many Apple products to Appel in the future and it is reassuring to know there is somewhere so local and so good .

I had my iMac 27″ repaired at Appel and it was very professional but also very friendly and straight forward . Keith just took it with no quibbles and got it repaired in a very short time considering how bad it was. I nearly put it down to scrap it was that bad but as I said Keith fixed it no prob and its been running better than it ever did. I can’t recommend his repair service enough!!!

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

Yet again Appel has come to my rescue by supplying me with a splendid refurbished 20″ IMac! Couldn’t be more pleased! Thanks Keith! Graham, Craven Arms

MacBook Pro repair. Slow running and system hiccups. Checked applications running and processor overhead to find a number of virus protection apps & utility apps were impacting performance. The newer versions of OS X Mavericks & Yosemite are having even more problems with 3rd party utilities and virus checkers. Providing you keep your OS up to date they should not be necessary. Deleted all these utilities and everything running faster now.

iPad 4 with broken screen. Old glass all removed and new glass/digitiser fitted.

Safari running slow and unusual windows appearing. You may have malware installed called adware. Remove by downloading the free Adware Medic. It updates every time you use it & if it helps plea make a donation when you use it.

MacBook white A1181 with no backlight on LCD. The backlight is built into the LCD on this MAcBook model so LCD panel replaced and all good.

I accidentally cracked the face of my ipad (which is invaluable to me) last evening … I found Appel’s address online this morning, spoke to you and delivered my ipad to you at around 11.30am. at 5pm I had a telephone call saying new glass front has been fitted, ipad checked and all in working order and ready for collection.
