We’ve been Organizing Macs since Macs were invented.
APPLE & MAC DIGITAL ORGANIZING
Just as our homes get cluttered from time to time, over the years our Macs, iPads, iPhones, iCloud, and even Apple Watches accumulate files, contacts, emails, photos, video, and music. However, unlike our homes, which typically have only a few rooms, computers and phones can have hundreds of disorganized folders and random locations to which important (and unimportant) items have been saved.
WHAT WE DO
Our Mac, phone, and digital life organizing service is a genius way to remotely organize your MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, and Apple Watches. Our thoughtful Apple and Mac nerds have been keeping their own digital lives organized for years, and now, we can do the same for you via remote control of your technology! Here are all the great things we can do:
Combine files and folders spread across computers and hard drives into one organized system
Archive and delete unused, duplicate, and unneeded files
Combine and deduplicate various music libraries for a more organized listening experience.
Organize your photos effectively and ensure that they are securely backed up in the cloud for safekeeping.
Enable Time Machine backup, including cloud solutions
Ensure safe and secure password storage practices to protect your sensitive information.
Upgrade device drivers to enhance performance and resolve application-related problems efficiently.
Recommend considering new purchases that align with your current needs and budget, ensuring they offer the best value for your investment.
Review your credit card, Apple, and Google Play accounts to cancel any outdated subscriptions.
Our remote service is handled through Zoom or other screen-sharing platforms, and we can complete most of the work without requiring your presence at the computer.
DIGITAL LIFE ORGANIZING METHOD
Our organizing goal is achieved first by making everything easily findable and logically organized. Start by discussing your specific situation and goals over Zoom or other screen-sharing technology.
🖥💻For computers, after learning your needs, we:
Begin work without needing you!
Create a plan to break the work into 3-4 hour sessions.
Some computers only require one session; others may need two to three sessions.
At the end of each session, we will review a list of questions with you.
Typically, we would categorize the files as either Business or Personal.
For Business files, we organize them into categories such as Client files, Operations files, Marketing and Creative files, Vendor files, etc.
For Personal files, we organize them by Financial, Family, Projects, Home, etc.
Secondary organization is based on your needs:
Merge and deduplicate photo, video, and music libraries, ensuring that no valuable media is lost
Organize desktop shortcuts and menus to be based on what you use most
Technical optimization efforts can include:
Next, we will set up backup systems, defragment/optimize hard drive space
Update any outdated drivers and legacy applications you no longer use
Help you get your passwords organized, such as with the aid of tools like LastPass
Training you and walking you through the new, organized machine(s)!
📱For mobile devices, we:
Learn how you use the device and the most frequently used apps
Organize the apps by type, placing them in folders
Ensure that the music and services you want on your phone are on them
Train you on any apps you want to use, from health tracking to streaming music to Zoom
