Mac repair in Mougins
Mougins has a concentration of demanding Mac clients: creatives working from home, professional practices, owners of villas kitted out with Apple gear. I make home visits throughout the town (Tournamy, Mougins-le-Haut, Notre-Dame-de-Vie) with the level of discretion this clientele expects.
In Mougins, my Mac jobs revolve around three typical cases: the home worker whose MacBook Pro suddenly has a problem in the middle of a busy week (urgent, to be sorted within the hour), the owner of a family iMac that's been sluggish since an update (tedious but familiar), and the retired person with the MacBook Air they were given a few years ago who no longer knows how to sync their photos with their iPhone (a matter of teaching).
For each case, my approach is the same: I come to your home at the exact time arranged, I clean up after myself, and I calmly explain what I've done and how to stop it happening again. No jargon, no excuses, no lateness. Discretion is in the manner too, not just in the absence of a garish logo.
If the job needs more than 2-3 hours (a screen replacement, complex data recovery), I take the Mac and bring it back to my workshop in Le Cannet, 10 minutes from Mougins. You don't waste your morning waiting. Hand-delivery in person when it's done, at a time that suits you.

Frequently asked questions
My MacBook Pro is overheating and the fan runs loud, is that serious?expand_more
It's very common in Mougins, especially in summer. Most of the time it's dust in the fan (4-5 years is enough). Disassembly, cleaning, fresh thermal paste: 2 h, and the machine runs quietly again. Reckon on €80-120 depending on the model.
I have 5 Macs in the house that no longer sync, can you untangle it?expand_more
Yes, it's actually a case I handle regularly in Mougins. I rework the iCloud strategy from scratch (who backs up what, who shares with whom), resolve the conflicts, and draw you a simple diagram for going forward. Often 2-3 h on site.
Do you work in the gated residences of Mougins?expand_more
Yes — Mougins-le-Haut, Notre-Dame-de-Vie, residences with a concierge. Just let me know when you book so I can prepare the paperwork (visitor badge, register).
My iMac is too heavy to carry, do you work on it on site?expand_more
For most iMac jobs (an SSD swap, cleaning, optimisation), I come with my equipment and work at your place. If the screen has to be taken apart for a long while, I can take the machine and bring it back to the workshop — let's discuss it at the diagnosis.
Do you calibrate screens for photographers and creatives?expand_more
Yes, with an X-Rite colorimeter. Calibration to Adobe RGB, sRGB or DCI-P3 depending on your workflow. Much in demand from Mougins photographers who deliver in both print and digital.
