World Backup Day was yesterday; today is April Fools’ Day. Backing up your data is no joke. I’m on a mission to ensure that all my customers have their data backed up. Almost every day, we see somebody lose some data in one way or another. The most common misconception is that customers think they’re […]

Yelp review from 2013: I must tell you about my wonderful experience with MacMedics, namely Dana Stibolt. It was Memorial Day weekend (Friday), and one of our Macs at THE LAND of KUSH vegan restaurant in Baltimore went haywire. The software wouldn’t launch. We kept seeing a spinning circle but no progress. After running a hard […]

Shoulder Surfing, it’s back! Thanks to the Accidental Tech Podcast (https://atp.fm/) for tipping us off to this video article from the Wall Street Journal. This is a two-pronged attack. 1.

Hey folks! Please back up your iPhone to Apple’s iCloud. Last week, a MacMedics customer whose husband had just passed away, and somehow his iPhone went through the wash cycle in a washing machine, was referred to me for data recovery (there was water coming out of the iPhone, and I was unable to help). The […]
