Set up your new Mac
We can help a new Mac feel ready for everyday use, including email, files and compatible equipment. Tell us if you are changing from Windows.
New computer setup
A Mac can need attention to its everyday setup as well as its hardware. Australian Computer Doctors helps Brisbane customers with MacBooks, iMacs and other Mac computers, including email, file transfers, backups and suitable repairs.
Let us know the model and approximate year, or send the details shown in About This Mac if it is working. Describe the problem and what you need to keep using. Call 1300 199 074 so we can discuss pricing and an appropriate visit, remote session or repair assessment.
Brisbane Mac support can include the practical jobs around a repair, such as email, compatible accessories and backups. We discuss the model and work required before planning the service.

New computer setup
Misleading alerts and unwanted applications can affect a Mac too. We assess what is happening and explain the changes we recommend.
Virus and malware removal
If Apple Mail or Outlook behaves differently across devices, tell us where messages are visible. We can investigate the app and account setup.
Email and connection help
We can check slow tasks and recurring freezes without assuming the Mac needs replacing. Model, storage and application requirements all matter.
Help with a slow computer
We help investigate unreliable Wi-Fi and suitable network settings on your Mac. Knowing whether other devices stay connected is useful.
Network and Wi-Fi support
Ports and software support vary between Macs and accessories. We can check your printer or display setup and discuss compatible connections.
Network and Wi-Fi support
A suitable migration may use the old computer or a backup. We plan the information transfer alongside application compatibility and account sign-in.
New computer setup
We can help set up a suitable Time Machine backup or discuss another method. We explain which files are covered and how to check a copy.
Backups and data recovery
Tell us the Mac model and the last screen you reach. We consider important information before proposing repair or reinstall steps.
Computer startup help
Mac hardware design differs by model and generation. We review the fault, parts and repair arrangements before suitable hardware work is agreed.
Hardware repairs and upgrades
If photos or documents are inaccessible, tell us about existing backups first. Recovery depends on the device and fault, with no promised outcome.
Backups and data recovery
We can review the Mac’s storage, software and backup setup against the tasks you do. The findings describe its condition at the appointment.
Computer health checks
We compare the Mac’s condition and software needs with suitable repair or replacement options. Hardware upgrade choices depend on its design.
Upgrades and purchase advice
Share the insurer’s requested documents and the Mac details. We can discuss assessment and an agreed report without promising claim approval.
Computer insurance reports
A usable Mac and stable internet may allow suitable software help remotely. We discuss the task, connection and charges before the session.
Remote computer supportCall Australian Computer Doctors on 1300 199 074 or send an enquiry. Describe your Mac and suburb along with the task. We confirm the suitable work and availability before arranging onsite help, remote assistance or repair assessment.
Our minimum labour time is one hour per job, and many jobs only need that hour. If more time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. We do not charge call-out fees or travel costs. For onsite work, the time starts when your technician arrives. Parts cost extra if needed. The total depends on the fault and the work required, so we can give a more accurate estimate after diagnosis. Call us on 1300 199 074 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
If it works, About This Mac shows model and serial information. Existing packaging or markings on the device may also help. Do not start a damaged Mac just to collect details; tell us what you already know.
Yes. We can discuss suitable file transfers and the programs, email and accessories you want to use. Some Windows applications require a different version or an alternative, so it helps to plan before retiring the old computer.
We provide independent support and repairs, rather than Apple warranty processing. If a fault may be covered, check Apple’s support options first. We can discuss any separate paid work and suitable repair arrangements.
Leave your details and our team can contact you about your computer. You can also call 1300 199 074.
