Mac Hardware Service

When you have a hardware failure it can be anything from a minor irritation to a total disaster. Sweet Apple will perform out-of-warranty repairs to MacBook, MacBook Pro, iBooks and Powerbooks significantly cheaper than an Authorised Service provider, using genuine Apple parts. If we can’t find new parts, or they are prohibitively expensive, we will find spares at sensible prices. And if repair is uneconomic we will tell you so, backup your data and help you transfer it to a new machine if needed.

For Apple iMacs, MacPros and PowerMacs we can repair or replace everything from logic boards, CPUs, power supplies (PSU), RAM hard drive, CD/DVDs, through to a mouse or keyboard.

Mac Data recovery

When a hard drives gets corrupt or fails, you could lose thousands of pounds worth of data. SweetApple can resolve everything from relatively simple disk corruption, accidentally erased data, to block by block scanning for essential files or documents. We’ve recovered many a lost, deleted or mangled Entourage, Apple Mail or iPhoto database thought the years.

External Hard Disk failure?

We’ve seen literally dozens of external hard drives fail, from just about every manufacturer. It doesn’t matter if it’s made by LaCie, Formac, Western Digital, Iomega, Seagate or Toshiba, it can and will fail. The more you use it, the more likely it is to fail. If it doesn’t have a fan, it’s more likely to fail. If it’s a ‘big-disk’ it’s twice as likely to fail. But when it does fail, give us a call and there’s a good chance we’ll be able to help you out.

Drive recovery

Modern high-capacity disks are quite reliable, but sometimes they fail completely. We have successfuly performed recoveries from complete drive failures. If the drive has suffered a serious mechanical failure and is difficult to recover without using potentially more destructive techniques, we will inform you and provide a range of options.

Data archiving

Nervous you haven’t got suitable a data backup? We can either design an automated backup system, ornarchive your current data to CD, DVD, tape or hard disk. We also will transfer from Syquest, ZIP, floppy or hard drive to a media of your choice. Prices are very reasonable; for instance £25 for a 4.4Gb backup to DVD, with 2 duplicate disks provided to the customer.
