Programs installed, licensed, updated and repaired, with junk software removed and error messages tracked down. We cover all of North Shore - Takapuna, Devonport, Milford and the streets around them.

Repairs here cover family laptops and desktops, Macs, home and office printers, and scam clean-ups for people who answered a convincing call or email. We also recover data from failed drives and set up a backup so it does not happen twice.

From $60 + GST ($69 incl. GST) for remote help, no call-out fee

  • Licences and product keys recorded and handed back to you
  • Software downloaded only from the publisher's own site
  • A test of each program with you before we finish

Software Installation & Troubleshooting for homes in North Shore

Housing ranges from Devonport villas and bungalows to Takapuna apartments, cliff-top homes in Milford and family homes across Glenfield, Birkenhead and Northcote. Many older homes have been extended over the years, leaving rooms the router simply does not reach. Sloping sites also mean garages, sleepouts and decks that need their own coverage.

Visiting sites in North Shore

Takapuna and Smales Farm parking is mostly paid or limited, so a visitor park helps. Wairau Valley units usually have parking out front. Devonport streets are narrow and busy on weekends. Steep driveways and rear sections are common across the Shore, so clear directions are useful.

We work right across the area, including:

Software Installation & Troubleshooting in North Shore: questions

Do you work in Wairau Valley and Smales Farm?

Yes. We cover the whole North Shore, including Wairau Valley, Smales Farm, Takapuna, Glenfield, Milford, Devonport, Birkenhead and Northcote, for businesses and homes. Tell us whether the premises has visitor parking when you book.

My home is on a steep section with a sleepout. Can you get Wi-Fi to it?

Usually, yes. Depending on the distance and what is in between, we either run a cable or set up a point-to-point wireless link, then add an access point inside the sleepout.

Can you help my parents with their computer?

Yes. Our seniors' help visits are unhurried and practical: email, photos, video calls, printing and spotting scams, explained in plain English at their own pace.

Do you do software installation & troubleshooting in Takapuna?

Yes. We cover all of North Shore, including Takapuna, Devonport, Milford, Glenfield, Birkenhead, Northcote.

Is it safe to remove software I do not recognise?

Not always, which is why we check each item first. Some unfamiliar names are drivers or parts of programs you use. We identify what each one is, remove only the junk and unwanted trials you agree to, and leave anything needed alone.
