Apple and Mac support in Adelaide

Macs are lovely until the day the startup disk is full, the migration assistant stalls at forty minutes remaining, or you realise the backup you have been trusting for two years has never actually completed.

I handle the unglamorous Mac work: getting a new machine set up with everything where you expect it, clearing the storage that macOS hides from you, and configuring a backup that I then test by restoring from it — because an untested backup is just a hope.

Sound familiar?

These are the ones I get called about most. If yours is not listed, it is still worth asking.

  • "Your disk is almost full" and deleting things has not helped
  • A new Mac that needs everything moved across from the old one
  • The spinning beachball on tasks that used to be instant
  • Time Machine has not completed a backup in months
  • Mail, Photos or iCloud not syncing between your devices
  • Moving from Windows to Mac, or Mac back to Windows
  • A Mac that is out of warranty and no longer getting updates

Apple & Mac Support — common questions

Can you move everything from my old Mac to a new one?

Yes — files, applications, mail, photos, bookmarks and settings. I would rather do a considered migration than a straight clone, because copying a decade of accumulated clutter onto a fast new machine wastes most of what you paid for.

My Mac is too old for the latest macOS. Is it finished?

Not necessarily, but it does change how you should use it. Once Apple stops issuing security updates, the machine is fine for offline work and poor for banking and email. I will tell you honestly where yours sits and what it is still safely good for.

Do you work on iPhones and iPads too?

For setup, data transfer, accounts, backups and troubleshooting, yes — that sits under device setup. I do not do iPhone screen or battery replacements; those are better off with a repair specialist and I will point you to one.
