Seaford Onsite Computer Support : Getting a wireless signal to the back work shed

Today I’m up at Seaford helping out a crash repairer with getting their back workshop shed connected to the internet after their cat5 network cable was accidentally cut during some building work that’s happening onsite. Rather than repair the cable only to see it get crushed again while all the work is going on I suggested they use a wireless network instead as the speed and coverage of wifi has vastly improved in the past few years. With a little bit of configuration they were back up and running on the internet with a 100% rock solid wireless connection.

Aberfoyle Park Computer Support : New Eco-system PC installed

November 23, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

An old engineering colleague from my first job as a systems administrator for a company called Connell Wagner (now Aurecon) called me up a few days ago saying that his mother who lives in a nice retirement village in Aberfoyle Park needed a new computer to replace her 10+ year old Intel Celeron Windows Vista PC that was badly dragging it’s feet and not starting up anymore. I supplied her with one of our new Digital Insite ECO-system PC’s that now come standard with a high speed SSD, a Core i3 7100 3.9GHZ and 8GB of RAM. I helped her transfer all of her photos, documents and emails to the new PC and got her all set up so it was super easy to turn it on and get down the business doing the things she loves. Needless to say it was a quantum leap in performance from the last PC but not at a price that breaks the bank 🙂

Ascot Park Computer Support : Powerhouse system installed

November 16, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

I had the pleasure of supplying and installing of our Digital Insite full Powerhouse system to a nice elderly man and his wife in Ascot Park. His old PC was an AMD Sempron with 2GB of RAM and an 80GB hard disk running on Windows XP. Although it was quite impressive that the 14+ year old PC was still running, it was horribly slow by today’s standards and he wanted to get back up to speed so he could save photos from his Digital SLR camera to the PC and edit them without it taking 10 minutes for each photo. Opening and replying to an email took over 10 minutes on the old system! I installed our new Digital Insite Powerhouse PC that comes complete with a large 27″ widescreen LED, a fast i5 Processor, 8GB RAM, high speed SSD + SSHD storage, USB speakers, wireless keyboard and mouse + Windows 10 and transferred all of his photos, documents and emails across to the new system.

I always make it my focus to help the process of transferring to a new PC as easy and painless as possible for my customers by getting all of their data across from the old PC to the new system in it’s correct place, completely setting up their email including transferring old emails from the previous system, and explaining how to use the new system. If my customers ever get stuck I’m always just a phone call or email away and always happy to help 🙂

Seacliff Computer Support : Internet security and backup system setup

November 14, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

I was down at the very picturesque and always beautiful seacliff beach today helping a man who runs a CAD drafting business from home. He was having some issues with his internet security and antivirus that was blocking him from accessing certain functions of his internet banking as well as some general file management and backup issues on the PC. I quickly sorted out the internet security issues by adding an exception for the banking website in the antivirus software and also set up for him a much better file management and folder structure system for storing his documents and plans.

I then created an automated backup system that runs at 5pm each night and looks to see if his backup drive is plugged in – if it is then the backup will run and backup everything that has changed since the last backup – if his backup drive isn’t plugged in it simply skips the backup. I also made an easy desktop shortcut for him so that he can also manually run the backup to his external hard disk at any time. Simple, fast and smart at the same time and it gave him peace of mind that his data is always safely backed up.

Marino Computer Repairs and Support : IMAP Outlook email sync issues

November 8, 2017 / Mark Jansen / 0 Comments

A customer of mine in Marino called and said he was getting a lot of IMAP related errors coming up in Outlook when trying to access his email account. After some research and investigating I found that it was a combination of several things namely his email quota, a slow upload on his internet connection and some profile corruption in Outlook.

Once the profile corruption was resolved by creating a new profile and merging his data into the new profile, and his email quota issue was fixed by deleting a whole lot of unnecessary emails using his webmail account, his email started to flow again as it should.
