Visionary Reminders

We all know how busy life gets this time of year; it’s easy to miss important notices or emails, so we thought we would send a quick reminder of a few things we can do to assist you. As always, if you’re not sure if this applies to you, just reach out via phone, email, or come on by, and we will be happy to help.

Summer Tune-Up Special
There is nothing like a properly functioning device, and our Summer Tune-Up special will keep your Mac, iPhone or iPad running its best. We put every device through a multi-point inspection and perform a variety of software tweaks to ensure that it’s in good health. Upgrade opportunities or improvements are brought to your attention so you can make your investment in technology last even longer. Best of all, the entire Tune-Up is only $50 (or just $25 if you’re a Visionary Watchdog subscriber)! Don’t let the summer pass without taking advantage of this limited time special, which expires on August 31st, 2019. For full details on what we perform as part of the Summer Tune-Up special, please click this link.

Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro
Starting with the new MacBook in 2015, Apple launched a wholly new keyboard mechanism, which quickly became the standard on all their laptop models. Unfortunately, this keyboard mechanism’s first incarnation was a little less durable than expected. Many customers worldwide have reported issues such as keys repeating, not registering, or feeling “sticky” or unresponsive. Fortunately, if you have one of the affected models and are experiencing less-than-ideal functioning, we can replace the top case free of charge thanks to an Apple Quality Program. Click here for full details and a list of affected models. The program covers eligible MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models for 4 years after the first retail sale of the unit. 4 years creeps up quickly, so don’t delay! Bring your Mac in for service as soon as you are able.

13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program
Apple has discovered a problem with the Solid State Drive firmware in a limited number of non Touch Bar 13” MacBook Pros from 2017. This problem, if untreated, can cause sudden data loss. We can repair or replace the Solid State Drive for no cost thanks to this Quality Program. Failure to address this issue can result in drive failure and total data loss. You MUST have your data backed up (or authorize us to do a backup for you for $99), as the repair will wipe the drive. Don’t lose everything unexpectedly! Let us protect your data. This affects only a very small number of computers, but it’s a serious issue. Please click here to check your serial number and see if you may be affected by this issue. The program covers affected MacBook Pro models for 3 years after the first retail sale of the unit. 3 years goes by pretty fast so please, if you have an affected MacBook Pro non Touch Bar, bring it in as soon as you are able.
