The Spinning Beach Ball driving you nuts?
Is your Mac running slow or taking too long to startup?

We can upgrade your Mac with a Solid State Drive (SSD) making it up to 10x faster.
An SSD is the single biggest boost you can give to your computer and will dramatically increase the speed of your computer and make it run like new.
The lack of moving parts in an SSD compared to a traditional hard drive allows data to be transferred at far greater speeds. It also means less likelihood of damaging the data when your computer is bumped or dropped. To read more about why this is the case, read here..
At Mac Smart, we can source the right SSD for your storage space needs as well as install it and copy across any data from your old hard drive.
We can upgrade all types of Macs including iMac, MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini and Mac Pro. All can be done for a fraction of the cost of a new replacement Mac.
After upgrading to an SSD you’ll notice:
- Faster Startup/boot time
- Faster load times when launching applications
- Faster opening and saving files
- An enjoyable Mac experience like it used to be
You’ll be amazed at the performance improvements and wonder why you waited so long to upgrade.

Did you know that your iPhone could actually SAVE YOUR LIFE?
Adding your medical ID to your iOS device could be a real life saver.
You’ve probably seen or used an app on your iPhone called the “Health” app. It counts your steps and tells you how far you’ve walked as well as the ability to track and monitor your health and activity. In amongst these great features there is a page called “Medical ID”. This page can hold a lot of important information that you might want a paramedic, doctor or first responder to know in case of an emergency and it can be accessed from your lock screen without a passcode.
To setup your Medical ID, open up the Health app and click on the Medical ID tab at the bottom right. Then either click on create medical ID or edit to see all of the available options. You can add all kinds of information to your Medical ID including, height, weight, medications that you take, medical conditions, blood type, allergies/reactions, emergency contacts (next of kin) and even organ donation preferences.
In case of an emergency the Medical ID can be accessed from the lock screen. When the screen comes up to enter a passcode, you can click on the word “Emergency”. This will display a phone keypad and down the bottom left there will be a button called “Medical ID”. This then displays your medical ID to any emergency personnel who might be attending to you and because the iPhone is the most popular phone in the world it should be familiar to anyone.
It doesn’t take long to setup your Medical ID and it could save your life, so why not set it up now?
