Testimonials

such a kind, easy-to-work-with, fair and knowledgeable person in Apple software. James gave me all the information and support I needed for the MacBook
— Dèbora Nogueira, Edinburgh
I highly recommend James Wood for all things Apple! He is very knowledgeable, and patient with those who (like me) are definitely not technologically minded. He is a very safe pair of hands. Highly recommended
— Madelanne, Edinburgh
James is so terrific! I have known him for 15 years and he is very Apple knowledgeable, and friendly. Over the years he has helped me with my various iMac, MacBook & iPad related problems. Setting up my iCloud and Apple ID with all my devices, and my transition from iPhoto to Apple Photos has been very educational, even now with my new Apple Watch! He has also been a wonderful sounding board when I wanted to upgrade my Macbook and my iPad. I highly recommend him. You won’t be sorry!

James saved my life. My mac wasn’t working at all and I had a deadline comign up. I was in panic! He arrived at my house and fixed everything in less than 2 hours. Such a super star!

James is very knowledgeable about the apple product range and helped me navigate a persistent but subtle problem with my computer that in the end was hardware related. Before repairs he walked me through the backup process. Afterwards he helped reinstate my laptop back to its previous state. Great service.

James is patient and responsive to my Apple needs, always offering supportive hints & solutions to my barriers. Technology is becoming so complicated, and James guides us through the challenges making us feel like we are learning as we progress, even though we hardly understand all this tech.
— David Mead, Findhorn
James is amazing! I have known him for 13 years and during that time he has helped me many times with problems and with general organizing of my files and pictures. Once he solved a big problem for me remotely—-he in one country, me in another. He is always cheerful and knowledgeable and I trust him completely!
— Dora Rust-D'Eye, Toronto, Ontario
James worked tirelessly on my behalf when my iMac (27-inch, Late 2012) stopped working. I need the machine for my design business, so having someone who took the problem seriously was reassuring. When he had run through all possible causes and solutions thoroughly but without success he did not abandon me. He accompanied me to Apple and argued my case. When Apple failed to find the fault, he directed me to a hardware specialist who replaced one part, the part even Apple did not consider replacing. My machine came to life and has remained perfect ever since. This was a journey I could not have navigated without James and his in-depth knowledge and perseverance. To replace the machine would have cost me in the region of £1,600 so he saved me money too. Thank you, James.
— Steve Dooley, Devon

— Tor Loram, Devon
James has been so helpful for our family, linking up all our devices together. Now we have a consistent happy Apple family!

If you want someone who is trustworthy, dependable and reliable — James is your man!
