Our Santa Barbara Apple Certified "House Call" Specialists are friendly, sharp people you'll quickly trust in your home and office. We thrive on helping you get the most out of your Macintosh, your iDevices and all your Apple technology: The MacBook, iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPhoto, iLife and Airport, etc. We'll come to you in Santa Barbara, Montecito, Carpinteria, Solvang, Santa Ynez, Los Olivos and anywhere in Santa Barbara County.
Because we are not geeks, our biggest challenge is turning down dinner invitations. You've got a meeting in an hour and your wireless is failing, so your emails aren't getting through and your printer won't print, and you need computer help now. Or maybe worse, everything crashes on your Mac and you make the call confessing you have no computer backup system.

Mick, even though I now live in Chicago, your quick response with remote desktop sessions over the internet have rescued me on more than one occasion. Knowing that I still have you as my IT guy has given me the confidence to launch a website and do much more than I ever dreamed in my profession. This is FUN! Thank You!
If you're looking for a new Mac, we can assist you with purchasing, configuring and teaching you how to get the most out of it. Ask about our extremely popular Concierge Service where we deliver and set it up in your home or office. And for the times your Mac is not happy, and you're not ready to go out and buy a new one, we resuscitate, repair, upgrade, backup, recover, and bring it back to life.
On a Customer Satisfaction Rating Scale of 1 to 5, Mick's Macs is 6 stars. Not only are they fast, they are as friendly as a warm puppy. Never have they failed me. First - it's great having a certified Mac mechanic who'll come to your home when you're in crisis. Happened to me. I found Mick's Macs, called, and within 90 minutes my problem was solved.
I highly recommend Mick's Macs. Mick and his team of super friendly, reliable experts have helped me on many occasions to fix problems and upgrade my Mac. I'm not a computer expert by a long shot so it's super nice to be able to call a local company and trust them to do whatever needs to be done. Thanks for all your help and for being such a nice person, Mick!

$230 to replace a HD cable. $65 for the cable itself and $140 for labor. I'm going to give these guys the benefit of the doubt and five stars because the repair seems to have been done properly, but this confirms my suspicion that Apple hardware is both overpriced and overrated and now I see that the repair is ridiculously expensive too. If you're on the fence, save yourself and get a PC. I could have bought a lovely PC-based laptop for $230 off of Craiglist, and I'm not even counting the $130 I already spent on Disk Warrior just to get the files off because Disk Utility couldn't cope with the

Pardon me while I rave. The attached photo was my MacBook screen at start-up just a few days ago. Headed to Mick's Macs to find out it's the logic board (cuz it has pointy ears like Mr. Spock). Joe, the tech guy, tells me that this was under extended warranty until the end of 2016 and here it was Jan. 12, 2017. Just my luck. But he'd see what he could do to get the warranty extended to cover mine.
An hour later I hear back from Joe that Apple will be replacing the logic board at no charge to me! Magic. Meanwhile, I'm going to be stranded without my MacBook, so Joe offers to pop the hard drive

The conundrum of buying new technology or trying to update what you already have is effortlessly answered by the knowledgeable crew at Mick's Mac. They can help with software, hardware, crashes and yes, probably weepiness. I was lucky that I was not on the edge of my own meltdown when contacting a computer consultant this go round.
They are great hand holders wherever your computer issues have landed you emotionally. Kind, generous, knowledgeable, efficient and extremely patient. I can't say enough about the experience I had upgrading my 6 year old system with MM's capable crew. A three just isn

I have sent people to Mick's Macs for years because:
They listen carefully to you and ask helpful questions,
They come and check it all out ASAP,
Then they explain (in non-geek language) your Apple product problems and options for fixing it, never in a hurry and always with intent to be helpful. They never oversell, overcharge, or make things more complicated than they are. And they have great services where they keep your equipment running smooth without waiting for emergency melt-downs. I totally trust and appreciate Mick and his cohorts - like a family doctor who does house calls.
