Accounts Registration

Accounts Registration

Our Apple computer technicians take the security of your personal information very seriously. Getting your Mac setup to access your accounts properly starts with knowing your Apple ID and other user names and passwords. We’ll spend some time with you getting all of your accounts documented and verified. All your data is confidential and we work hard to keep it that way! As your Apple Consultant we can help you with all of the models of Mac: Mac mini, iMac, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro and Mac Pro.

Password Management

Password Management

If you have a hard time remembering your passwords and managing a pluthera of them, we offer a strong, Internet compliant, yet easy-to-remember password management system. This will help you keep track of all your passwords and not lose access to your accounts and data. It’s a fresh start and will help protect against identity theft. If your Apple ID is locked or disabled, we can help you with account recovery to unlock it and get it working again. If you don’t have two-factor authentication turned on we can help you enable that.

macOS Backup and Recovery

macOS Backup and Recovery

We can help you back up your entire hard drive prior to service to make sure your data is safe.

If your drive is not working properly, we have data recovery services for you as well from the best certified data recovery experts in the industry.

We can also help you establish an off-site backup in case your house burns down or theft of your in-house data.

Backing up your Mac is different than Syncing it. Backups are linear meaning they have history. Syncing is instant so if you delete data one device it will sync with the cloud and back to your other devices. We can also provide remote technical support if you have COVID concerns.

macOS Setup

Whether you are running macOS High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina or Windows 8 or 10 on a new or older computer, we can get it running much better because we’ll erase and install a clean version of the OS and configure all of your accounts manually. We’ll do all of the updates, go through and change your preferences and install requested and recommended third party apps.

If your computer is infected with Malware (Mac or PC) or even a Windows Virus we won’t be bringing any of that over because we start from scratch. We’ll get your computer to a point where all you have to do is “ding” (turn it on) and everything is ready to perform.

Integration vs. Migration

Integration vs. Migration

There is a distinct difference between data “Integration” and “Migration”.

After backing up, we erase your hard drive and do a clean installation of the latest macOS (or Windows) and then get it all set up with all your freshly added Internet accounts, new updated app installations etc. we’ll then go to your backup and “Integrate” all of the good data only: Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music, and some of the Downloads, but not any duplicates or installer files. This approach makes your computer run better than new!

Versus when you restore or migrate your data from your backup, it gets all the good and the bad from your old computer which defeats the purpose of getting a new computer or a fresh start on your current computer. However if your current computer was running really good and you want all the exact settings restored, migration is a fast option.
