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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

You never know what could happen to your Mac laptop! Backup twice!

You never know what could happen to your Mac laptop! Let’s imagine you are out of town (or at home) and working on a big project, and you accidentally crack your MacBook Air screen. What would happen if your screen were dark and you could not see any part of the screen? If you’re not […]
