Remote support is selected for the task, not simply the convenience of avoiding a visit. The team explains the connection process and the work being considered. A failed component, a device that will not start or equipment that needs physical setup requires a different arrangement.
- Investigate suitable email application and account issues.
- Help with program settings and everyday software tasks.
- Explain where files and settings are located.
- Discuss suitable update and configuration problems.
- Guide you through the arranged connection process.
- Consider whether a visit is needed instead.
Getting ready for the appointment

- Wait for our agreed instructions before installing remote tools.
Common questions
Can every computer problem be fixed remotely?
No. Remote assistance suits some software and settings tasks on a working device. Physical faults, failed startup and equipment that needs connecting by hand require direct access.
Can you help a Mac remotely?
Yes, supported Macs can receive remote help for suitable software or account issues. The computer needs to start and maintain a reliable internet connection.
Do I need to choose remote software myself?
We explain the steps needed for a session. Contact us first to discuss the issue and confirm whether you can establish the required connection.
Can I request a home visit instead?
Yes. Tell us your preference and what needs doing. We can discuss onsite availability and which approach is suitable for the computer and the task.
How do I find out about pricing?
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 336 367 to discuss pricing, or use our repair estimate form to send the details.
How long should I allow for the job?
Many jobs take around an hour, which is our minimum labour time per job. If extra time is needed, we bill in 15 minute blocks. After diagnosing the issue, your technician can give a more accurate time estimate and explain the options, taking the work needed and your budget into account. Some repairs need parts or work offsite, which can affect the time before the computer is ready.
