Why MacBook Pros and milk don’t mix!

Keep AppleCare on your older devices as it is now renewable

Here, I am talking about why AppleCare+ is such a good investment! This is the SECOND time this customer has had a liquid spill incident, and this time, it was a full glass of milk! Also, I talk about why it’s so important to have a backup of your data on newer Macs, as the […]

This place (MacMedics) is great and well worth the drive for me!

MacMedics Reviews

“I heard about this place and was able to visit the other location. This location has more options, and I was able to find exactly what I wanted for a great deal. I actually got a better version of what I wanted because it has a better hard drive. The gentleman who helped me was […]

“So inspired to find a truly caring person on the other end of a tech call! Dana helped fix my iPhone -> Gmail syncing issue in minutes and didn’t charge me. Wow. Worth every penny of the service charge, so I insisted on paying! Can’t give more than five stars, or I would. Thanks again, […]

Time Machine

Apple's Time Machine is your BEST first line of defense against data loss!

Hello Mac friends, When customers visit us at MacMedics at checkout or check-in, I try to get all this information into customers’ hands, but there’s so much to talk about that I’ve found that there’s just no way to get all of this important information into the customer’s hands. I decided to make an audio recording you […]

Recovering data from a 27-year-old Mac? Sure thing, just another normal day at MacMedics!

We had the opportunity to help a MacMedics customer today retrieve data from a Power Mac 7200 From 1996 with a SCSI hard drive. The old Power Mac wouldn’t turn on, so we connected the SCSI hard drive to a Power Mac G4 with an internal SCSI card to retrieve the data. The PowerMac G4 […]

“My iPhone crashed on a Friday in the middle of moving! The Apple store was unable to help, and I had no iPhone backup to the Cloud. I arrived just before closing, and Dana stayed an hour past closing to save my iPhone and get all of my photos and data! I could not have […]

“In addition to doing an excellent job, the owner, Dana Stibolt, spent a lot of time with me on the phone explaining my options. He worked with me that very same day and completed the work in less than two hours. I was very impressed. Although it was quite a drive from where I live, […]

This is the face your computer will want to see when it falls ill. Dana, the owner of MacMedics, has been fixing Macs since 1989. “The owner of MacMedics in Severna Park, Maryland, is basically an Apple magician. Dana has owned MacMedics for over 30 years! He fixed my vintage MacBook Pro at the service counter and had it up and running […]

Dana Stibolt was Tom Clancy’s personal tech “wizard” (his words) since 1998

I was Tom Clancy’s personal tech “wizard” (his words) since 1998, and I served as a tech consultant for Clancy’s book Red Rabbit in 2001. While I worked for Mr. Clancy, I shipped his computers multiple times before his visits to New York City and London, England. I helped him on-site in NYC, and he […]

A great recommendation for MacMedics and owner, Dana Stibolt

MacMedics Locations in Severna Park & Lanham

I want to give a huge shout-out to MacMedics in Severna Park, MD, and Dana, who took really good care of me today! We all worry when all of a sudden your computer is locked up, and you can’t do anything with it! I thought for sure it was done and unrecoverable, or perhaps my info was stolen! […]
