Upgrades & Security
(Upgrades, Security & Data Recovery)
Need help upgrading or securing your Apple device?
Keep your Apple devices fast, secure and running smoothly. Whether your Mac is slowing down, your iPhone needs an update, or your data needs recovering, we offer a full range of upgrade and security services to keep your tech protected and performing at its best. From restoring lost files to securing your system from malware, our specialists ensure your device is handled with care.
We work with all Apple devices — MacBooks, iMacs, Mac Minis, iPads and iPhones.
Keeping your Apple device updated and secure is essential for speed, reliability, and protecting your personal information. Our team carries out safe macOS upgrades, cleans up outdated systems, removes malware, and strengthens your security settings. If your device has become slow or unresponsive, an upgrade or full system refresh can restore performance instantly.
We also specialise in secure data handling — whether you need full data recovery, want files moved to a new device, or need help setting up a proper backup system. Your information is handled carefully and confidentially at all times.
If your Mac, iPad or iPhone isn’t performing like it used to, brings up errors, or is stuck on an old operating system, we can help bring it back to life.
Slow Mac?
Let’s Bring it back to life!
If your Mac has started to lag, freeze, beachball or take forever to start up, it’s usually a sign that it needs some attention. Over time, systems become cluttered, drives slow down, software falls behind, and hidden issues can affect performance. That’s where we step in.
At Appel, we specialise in diagnosing and reviving slow Macs of all ages — from older iMacs and MacBooks to the latest Apple silicon models. Whether the slowdown is caused by a failing hard drive, outdated macOS, low storage, malware, or background processes, we’ll pinpoint the exact cause and restore your device to smooth, reliable performance.
We provide safe macOS upgrades, SSD replacements, full system optimisation, storage clean-ups, malware removal, RAM upgrades (on supported models), and deep diagnostics to ensure nothing is missed. Most devices can be improved dramatically without needing to replace the entire machine — saving you money and extending its lifespan.
Bring us your slow Mac, and we’ll bring it back to its best.
In most cases, no. We carry out macOS upgrades, system optimisations and security fixes safely without affecting your personal files. However, we always recommend having a recent backup, and we can help you create one if needed.
Data loss is extremely rare. All upgrade and security work is carried out with your files fully protected. If your device is unstable or failing, we can perform secure data recovery or a full backup before any work begins.
Most upgrades and system clean-ups are completed the same day, depending on the age of your device and the size of the update. We’ll give you an estimated turnaround time when you book.
