You never know where your next great business idea might come from. Keep your mind (and heart) open as a business owner. Last winter, I visited a darling little coffee shop, and I loved shopping locally and supporting a fellow small business. I spent generously and was super happy with the vegan treats that were
A MacMedics customer asked us to recover the data off this PowerNook G4 12-inch from 2003. They had taken it to another shop where they couldn’t figure out how to take it apart and actually broke the Mac’s case. Also, some of the screws were missing (not cool). This particular Mac is notoriously difficult to

MacBook Pro 2012 15-inch destroyed by ex-life-partner! This MacBook Pro 2012 15” was unfortunately destroyed by a MacMedics customer’s ex-life-partner. We don’t know the story behind the devasting damage (I checked to see if it still powered on, but it did not), but the good news is that I could remove the SATA hard drive,
I recorded a mini-podcast episode about how new Macs have non-removable hard drives and why Time Machine is essential.It’s quick (about 10 minutes), and you can listen to my best radio voice explain some worst-case scenarios for data loss that a few MacMedics customers have encountered this year.

One of my life and business coaching clients needed help acting on his unique selling proposition. I wanted him to rise to the top as an expert in the space that he was in, so I took the reins and built a new website for him. It was not hard. I used voice-to-text to just

Let’s talk about two-factor authentication. I’ve posted about this before, but my own mother, who put eleven years of hard work into her Facebook page to support the books she has authored, and her business Facebook page got hacked a few days ago.

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.
