Hard to believe we’re now into December.! 

As we all head into a busy time of the year getting things finished and finalised before the Christmas break, it’s a good time to ensure back ups are up to date, and everything is all “neat and tidy” to finish off the year.

I hope everyone has a good Christmas and New Year and I look forward to helping everyone in 2025!

Stay safe and have some time to relax, and enjoy your Apple products! Maybe Santa will bring something new! Best wishes of the season to all.

Have you considered if your computer stops working or could be down for quite a while?

If your computer crashes or is down for a long period time, or even if it’s going to be away for service work for a while, have you considered the down time this could cause to yourself, your work and/or business?

There is a way that an external drive can be set up beforehand where in these sort of circumstances you can still be up and running relatively easy - even if your computer has to go away for days to be repaired.

It’s a relatively cheap and easy process. 

If you would like to find out more about how this can be set up for yourself or your business please feel free to drop me an email or call to discuss.

Be aware of “Fake webpages” advising you need to update.

So there is a bit of a rise on the number of webpages or fake links that will try to trick you into calling a number or clicking a link to “update” some piece of software.

I’ve written a page with a bit more info on it here
