Mac Help, MacBook Repair & Apple Support on Lanzarote with 15+ years of expert Apple experience
Your Local Expert for Apple Support and Mac Repair in Lanzarote
Because Lanzarote lacks an official Apple Store or authorized service provider, complex hardware and board-level warranty repairs must go off-island. However, your daily technical hurdles do not have to. As an experienced independent Apple technician, I provide comprehensive on-island services including initial diagnostics, data security, professional iMac and MacBook repair, and macOS troubleshooting on the spot.
Choose the next step depending on what is actually wrong with your device:
- Can't get into iCloud / Apple ID locked: Apple ID and iCloud help on the island.
- A Mac that will not boot or died after an update: Mac won't turn on or boot loop repair.
- Wondering where the nearest official Apple help is: Is there an Apple Store on Lanzarote?
- Need a new Mac set up and data migrated: Mac sourcing, setup, and delivery service.
- A failing drive with critical data still on it: Emergency data backup and rescue.
Typical cases for my Mac repair and Apple support service — signs something is wrong
Mac will not start or died after a macOS update
Software recovery and diagnostics available. See Mac won't turn on.
Locked out of Apple ID or iCloud while travelling
Two-factor authentication issues, locked accounts, or forgotten passwords preventing access to your photos and mail.
iCloud and photo sync chaos
"Storage almost full" warnings, duplicate files, and broken sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
Slow Mac or out-of-storage issues
Performance tuning and cleanup handled right at your location, with honest advice on hardware longevity.
No backup strategy in place
Aging Mac holding years of family photos; get Time Machine and secure off-site cloud copies set up properly.
External hard drive will not mount
Panic that data is lost. Professional data rescue starts with getting your files off safely.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you respond?
I can't always promise an instant reply, but it's typically the same day, often within a few hours, and often outside normal business hours. Tell me your deadline and you get a realistic answer on whether I can meet it.
Why is there an upfront payment?
Upfront payment confirms the job and I reserve a time slot for you. You receive a transparent estimat, no part of the cost is hidden.
Do you work with companies or just individuals?
Both. I issue a proper Spanish invoice in my own name (NIF-supported, 7% Canary Islands VAT/IGIC included), which is easily claimable as a business expense.
What if you can't fix the problem?
You get a realistic estimate of success before we start, and I do everything I can to make it work. However, as a general rule, time worked is time billed regardless of outcome, and travel, sourcing and delivery are part of the agreed price. If the estimate changes while I work, you hear about it immediately and get to choose whether to continue or not.
How much does it cost?
A €50 call-out fee anywhere on the island, then €1.50 per minute of work. Residents get 25% off, and there are discounts for larger or recurring jobs. You get an upfront estimate and will be updated immediately should the estimate change.
How are warranties handled when you source hardware?
I do not put any markup on the hardware I purchase for you: you get the original receipt from the store in your name or your company's name. As a consequence, I do not handle any resulting warranty issues. If it turns out the hardware purchase has a manufacturing defect, the store or manufacturer is responsible. While I will of course help you sort out the issue, I am not liable for the warranty in any way.
Which areas of Lanzarote do you cover?
The whole island. Travel is included in your estimate. There's a single €50 call-out fee wherever you are on Lanzarote. The call-out fee does not apply when the job is remote.
Do we have to meet at my house or accommodation?
No. We can meet wherever you want, including in a cafe, coworking space, or any other public place. Whatever works best for you.
Can a family member arrange and pay for the visit?
Absolutely. A son or daughter often books the visit and settles the estimate, and I keep them updated if they would like.
Can you help in my language?
I can help you in English, German, Finnish and Spanish.
What's your cancellation policy?
Once an appointment is booked, cancellation fee is €50 - I have to make time, arrange travel, and reject other jobs.
How do I pay, and do I get an invoice?
Cash, all major cards including Mastercard, Visa and Maestro, and mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Google Pay and Samsung Pay, in person. For remote work you can pay by bank transfer or a Stripe payment link. I'm a registered Spanish autónomo, so you receive a proper invoice including 7% Canary Islands VAT (IGIC).
