How do we protect your data?

A Macbook Air from 2020 arrived at the workshop, after an update the computer was stuck on the updating screen. The data was not backed up and was very important. We recovered the files/data. We confirmed the issue was stuck MacBook update and our technicians fixed the laptop and made sure all the files were recovered.

How we fixed a stuck Macbook update

Our technicians then followed the steps to repair the installation of Mac OS Big Sur that was causing the issue. The files were 100% safe and securely recovered. We went ahead by upgrading the Macbook to the latest Apple operating system. Now the Macbook was as good as new, it was faster than ever and ready for anything. All there is left to do now is replace the files on the now refurbished computer.

Following Apple’s instructions, our computer technicians used Apple Migration Assistant to recover all the files from the external drive. This way the computer would have all important documents exactly as they were before the Macbook had any issues. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. During the recovery process, the Macbook crashed due to a software error, thankfully due to our precautions all files were completely unharmed.

Our technician contacted Apple on the customer’s behalf. Dealing with manufacturers can be a difficult and stressful process so we like to take the hassle out of that experience for our customers. After extensive discussion with Apple’s representative and an appropriate course of action decided the restoration could continue. We recovered all important data to the Macbook.

What Results can I expect?

As a result of this repair, the Macbook is running better than ever on the most modern operating system. Our customer now has access to all the latest features Apple offers and has peace of mind knowing all of his data is completely secure.

If you’re having any issues updating your Macbook or would like some assistance moving to the latest operating system to unlock more features from Apple please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our Caufield computer technicians are friendly and eager to help. At Fix My Tech we pride ourselves on the quality and timeliness of our service and will deliver you the best possible results every time.

We refurbish MAC computers. When a computer slows down a fresh install of the operating system can be the best course of action. For Mac users internet recovery is a common method for reinstalling, however it is not always straightforward. 

Its common that several upgrades need to be performed with no way to upgrade to latest version in one go. Usually the system needs to be upgraded 2 or 3 times to get it to the latest stable version. Check out our post regarding macbook data migration in Caulfield South

Internet recovery is a special built in tool to download and install a fresh operating system using wifi or network cable (no installation cd or usb required). In some instances a user will be required to log into their Apple account, but will receive an error stating “This item is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later.”.

A common solution on the internet from 2017 and before was to access Safari from the help page and log into the Apple account through iCloud.com. Due to security risks the page is inaccessible from in 2019 from the version of Safari supplied. We bypass this issue by removing the storage disk  and installing from a different MacBook Pro that didn’t give the same error and then moving the storage disk back over. Check out our post regarding macbook pro os x reinstall and refurbishment

Once Lion is installed it should be upgraded to the most recent version of OS X that can be run for security reasons. For a 2011 MacBook Pro this is High Sierra 10.13.6. To upgrade to this version El Capitan 10.11 must be installed first, then High Sierra can be installed. Searching “get El Capitan” then “get High Sierra” on google will give explanations for this process.

We are experts in Apple Mac, MacBook and iMac repairs. Bring your computer in for a service and get it running better than ever by reinstalling the operating system and consider upgrading to an SSD for a huge upgrade in boot speed. A 2011 MacBook Pro is still relevant for most users. With a storage and memory upgrade it is working great and ready for use for years to come.
