Diagnostics

0 comments
Hello Mac users.

A recent announcement was made by Apple, whereby 70% + of computers sold are now notebooks. When Apple was not mainstream, they had a plethora of desktop computers and laptops. The current iMac range is the best example of an all in one desktop computer. In fact it's very robust and works seamlessly with all your Apple devices and peripherals.

The iMac has different upgrade options, with using Lion and the Apple's UNIX framework, it's a computer that provides efficiency for your data in multimedia and your general documents. Workflow solutions, syncing. With the MobileMe, iCloud services the Apple is a great tool for communication electronically for your work.

The notebook range has been more prominent, with the White MacBook a great alternative to an expensive solution which Apple is known for. In competing Apple products, Apple mentions in the 10K how computers are becoming strategically priced in reference to cost being lowered. However Apple can compensate for this due to design which people purchase.

With recent Apple support articles and issues, the complexities of Apple's computers go far beyond just hardware repairs which the UAE is known for. As our background is directly from ex Apple services and this helped to isolate issues swiftly with advanced support, there is a much needed appreciation into the diagnostic facilitation of a computer.

When a computer has a diagnostic fault, it is usually taken into a store and kept for a while. Sent off for a repair in the UAE. At the Apple stores, the machine is inspected in detail and then taken in for repair if needed. We take this notion and enhance it by understanding the dynamic that a computer more specifically the Mac, iPad, iPod or iPhone is given a quality detailed inspection from us. We refer to the latest support articles, to common complaints, or trends that have taken place with specific issues that are covered for support by a systematic and linear method of diagnostic. Then, if the computer is faulty, we can recommend other solutions for hardware repair.

This identifies with the client much more and shows an understanding method with their device. We currently offer solutions via e-mail and online support. Our online support is free.

We provide membership services on a yearly basis for diagnostics in software support which include on site visits. This bespoke platform is what makes Consult Mac the leading bespoke service in the UAE through our reputation with our clients.

A client choose whether to leave their Apple device with us as well, whereby we would diagnose as efficiently as possible rather than ordering a part for servicing. We also give periodic updates without having the user call back.

We are currently looking at also enhancing this method of communication, so a client has readily available access to their diagnostic or training mechanism through a login section once our services are completed.

With our diagnostic services we provide software support, on site visits, e-mail, 24/7 live Twitter assistance all included with your package.

Should you have any further enquiries, whether it's for a diagnostic setup for your portable, or setting up a network, or server based questions or how to maximize your setup do not hesitate to contact on: administration@etherealtech.ae

Siri

0 comments
Hello PC and Mac users,

So with the new voice technology embedded on the horizon, Siri is a great tool that utilizes speech recognition for the iPhone 4S. Note, this is not an iOS 5 feature, but instead a direct point of access
for the iPhone 4S.

With the capability of Siri, a user may simply hold down the home button momentarily, a symbol
appears and then ask Siri for the weather in the city they reside. Then state, for example, what the
restaurants are like ' here '. Siri can determine the location.

A conversation can continue with Siri throughout this, from coffee shops to shopping to asking
Siri what does it think of Android, the device can respond almost accurately in real time.

It's a step away from general voice recognition. With Google Voice Actions viewed as a broad
point of search yet with some specific features, what it lacks is a front end personality.

Nuance that is the potential back end of Siri, highlights some key components that substantiates
it as an interaction style voice recognition system.

If Siri were available on other devices with the Apple, it could employ a new way of search..

A brief update from Consult Mac

0 comments

Apple is a great company, with great products that it delivers to it's consumers. throughout this time we have witnessed
an essential growth in purchasing and selective interest in each and every product that Apple sells. Each product
that Apple has created, marks a new territory in an already existent market of products. The difference is, Apple's
design and simple outreach stemming from it's foundation was never present. Since Apple's inception of the iMac,
to the iPad and now iPhone 4S, upgrades are expected almost imminently due to market conditions.

Today as Apple's foundation has been shaken, the noteworthy presence of it's demand and product purchasing
remains intact. Apple as a brand offers a reputable and diverse approach to consumers that have not yet
met a company that offers such diligent attention to detail. Today that continues throughout the world.

As Apple is beginning to have more impact, the UAE has seen growth in interest for Apple services in many stores.
From the original iPad to iPad 2 quickly assisting the shelves, to consumers looking for more bespoke services
with Consult Mac from diagnostics to training, to the Apple online store,  one thing is for sure: The Apple will continue to offer fantastic solutions to
consumers that are looking for a different solution from their original purchase of Windows or Google.

* We are not available to comment or speculate on any Apple news, product information that  that are not announced for the UAE. 

We look forward to your business.
