Get Your Mac Ready For Service
To save time and protect your information, complete as many of these steps as you can before your Mac is serviced.
1. Backup Your Device
Having a backup of your device constantly keeps you away from worry if the repair requires our technician to perform a device reset (reformat).
2. Turn Off “Find My Mac” or “FInd My Phone”
The repair process requires us to enroll the device into Apple Diagnostics system to perform diagnosis. Having those turned off at least an hour before coming in reduce the waiting time of the repair.
3. Arrange for Service
Prepare the device for service by booking an appointment with us. If you think the device contains extremely confidential information, kindly create an extra account for us or erase the device so that we can perform the repair job effectively.
