Serving People Solutions for Macs and Windows


      The beginning of the year has been a huge for servicing clients with Apple products. I(Chance) have placed my hands on several iMacs, Macbooks, and G4s! The problems have only been speed and creating one source for files. Speeding up the Mac books can usually be pretty inexpensive and done within a short turn around time. The "one source for files" was tricky but possible. Most of our customers have more than one device (two PC and a Mac, maybe including a iPhone). All the devices running under one or multiple users can create a headache when trying to find the latest or a certain file. Try Dropbox!



      The trick is to have all users create and manage all files within Dropbox. Every computer then will have all the same files on all computers, tablets, and phones. You can even consider this a way to backup your files to a external source. Dropbox keeps your files synced, backed-up and simplified automatically, for all your devices!

I still recommend putting a copy of all your files on a external drive for safe keeping but having a backup onsite and offsite is just as important as having a backup in the first place.

Our Transition & Health Related Upcoming Events

Posted From : Wolfgang Computer Service Official Blog
Wolfgang Computer Service Logo
Though health can be looked at in many different ways when our bodies are concerned, but we will be attending, many health events, to promote a life of using technology in a healthy manner and keeping "our" systems in shape. We are trying to make a transition of services and create computer education courses for our clients. I feel that we have been getting a bad reputation, from our clients, for them only calling for/needing our services when things are going badly. We are wanting to show that education of their computer systems is a preventive measure to a healthy computer experience and cost effective for their future!

Events to Increase Health of Your Body, Life and Computer


For the next 5 Saturdays, we will be attending a variety of health oriented events. The competition will be slim and we are super excited about each event, with the purpose that is behind each one. We want to give a schedule of where our booth will be for the months of April and May.  While trying to fit a computer business within three 5K Runs, two health fairs, and one bike marathon, it has been a challenge. We all should have goals for health for our bodies, but there is a percentage of attention that our technology needs from us on a regular basis. We are caring a slogan/title of: (for these events)

Waiting is Never the Answer


"Honey, I just noticed that the car has a flat tire.
Should we go ahead and drive to work today or get it fixed first?"

Like cars, we never would continue to drive a less than safe vehicle. As for computers, one should live by the same principle. Once one action seems a little different than usual it is best to call a trusted computer service, if the problem persists. There are viruses that can eat away at data at a slow rate. After much time of a unresolved issue you may find your pictures, music or documents ultimately corrupt.

Waiting is never the answer when your important files are at stake. We are always glad to to serve our clients, even if they have waited much to long. It is always painful though to update clients of a complete lost of their files or entire computer.

A couple of things to keep a eye on:

-listen to your machine for new sounds
-same with smell, burning is either your computer or your oven
-just because you have paid for virus protection doesn't mean your have 100% protection
-like your car, you are looking for protection, perfection, and pure enjoyment

Hope you enjoy! Questions?! Give us a call 731.617.WOLF
God Bless!

Christmas Warranty

The question is whether or not to buy a warranty on a new purchased product this Christmas. We tell clients about this all the time and with all the shopping a little reminder is always good. Depending on the name-brand/company, price and how long we need the device to work determines if we are going to buy a warranty on our new device/purchase.

We could on forever on companies and their products, but when it
comes to laptops we would choose a HP/Compaq. Stay away from Toshiba and eMachines/Acer laptops. Desktops, we like HP and Dell.

Price is our main concern on buying a warranty.
Our rule of thumb is if it is over $500 we buy a warranty. This really depends on how deep your pockets are. If you feel you can shell out for another monitor or PC if your first crashes then you should not get a warranty. Apple computers are high in price and we will always get a warranty with them.

In general, we expect a computer to last about 2-3 years hardware wise and
1-2 years of being able to keep up with upgrades (software and hardware). If we need to warranty our product we use this as how long of a warranty we should get.
