Services Available- DoctorLaptop-Nerja Open Thru Holidays For Setups & Installs PLUS Some Tips on Setting Up Thru the holidays I am keeping my regular hours 1-7pm daily (by appointment only), 7 days a week, staying available to setup or install new tech-gifts for the lucky, impatient recipients. New computer and tablet setups are only €40 until 01JAN18. It is best to bring me the new unit still boxed and never started, as some initial settings are difficult to change after that 1st power-up. Please make appts by phone call only. No calls before 11am, evening calls ok, missed calls returned ASAP. TIPS:A Win 10 setup must be seen thru to the end as an interrupted initial setup can prevent it from starting again. The repair may require a fresh install of the entire system to undo the damage.After installing an antivirus program you must set it up (except BitDefender that sets up by itself). Go into the Scan Settings, find the Schedule Scan setting and select these 2 scans: Quick Scan-weekly and Full Scan-monthly. Most antivirus progs don’t auto-scan by default Antivirus programs can slow your computer. Avast Free Antivirus uses the least system resources so has the least impact on performance. It also ranks in top 10 in threat detection. Avast(USA) recently bought AVG(NL). Others, especially paid versions of Kapersky, Norton and McAfee, are designed for powerful business PCs, not your 4yr old Curry’s loss-leader. https://www.raymond.cc/blog/which-free-antivirus-is-the-lightest-on-system-memory-usage/1/
Proud new owners of Apple products must immediately setup their iCloud backups; for Macs the Time Machine backups are recommended in addition to iCloud. Many repairs on Apple/Macs require reinstalling the system, which deletes all data. Then you can recover the data after the reinstall from the backups. Welcome to the Apple Club, a 5yr lifecycle revolving around regular updates and backups. High end gear requires proper maintenance and will reward you with reliable high performance. If neglected, expect expensive repairs The new solid-state SDD hard drives in computers are fast, but if they crash no data is recoverable, as opposed to the standard mechanical hard drives where data is often recoverable from failed drives. Another reason to do backups.

Its geographical location means that it is half an hour from Jaen, less than one hour from Granada and Cordoba. In Alcaudete you’ll find history in every corner. The village forms a ring round the hillside, embracing its two most distinctive buildings: the Church of Santa Maria la Mayor and the Calatravo Castle, with views over its rich olive groves and market gardens. It has three villages: La Bobadilla, Los Noguerones and El Sabariego, where the white of the houses is highlighted by the green of the olive groves. The town centre is of medieval origin and has an important architectural heritage since the town underwent great expansion between the 16th and 18th centuries with the construction of many civil and religious buildings of different styles, which decorate and adorn the streets of the old town. Its landscape is a blend of steep slopes and flat areas around the watercourses, between the countryside of the Guadalquivir, and the sub-baetic mountains, which is a predominant factor in the crops grown. market gardens and a “sea” of olive trees. The municipality is home to the nature reserves of La Laguna Honda and La Laguna de Chinche, an endorheic complex of great ecological interest because of the birds that live there, malvasias, flamingos, mallards, purple swamp hens. A number of routes pass through the district, the Oil Rail Trail and it is part of the Castles and Battles, as well as the Caliphate, which belongs to the Routes of the Andalusian Legacy.
