New Mac Migration · East & West Sussex
You've put off the new Mac because last time something broke. This time it won't. Apps, passwords, bookmarks, photos, email — moved across and working before I leave. Fixed price, no surprises, smooth transition guaranteed.

Migrations go wrong in the details — the mail rule that vanishes, the printer that won't reconnect, the password nobody wrote down. Those are the bits I'm careful with.
I don't drag over a raw, bit-for-bit clone of the old drive — that's how junk, cruft and old bugs end up back on your new machine. Instead, only the essential system files, settings, apps and data that matter come across, so the new Mac stays as clean and fast as it should be.
Some apps behave differently — or need a paid upgrade — when they land on a new Mac. I can advise on versions of applications from old to new, so you know before moving day whether something needs updating, replacing, or leaving behind.
Whether the old Mac was Intel or Apple Silicon, and whatever chip the new one runs, app compatibility is checked both ways before anything is copied across.
Checked against the current macOS release notes, so nothing that depends on an older system version gets left behind unexpectedly.
Two ways to do it
Remote
£195
One session, done together over a screen share. I drive the new Mac; you handle the cables and your own passwords.
Onsite
£595
I come to you. Hands on both Macs, from the first cable to the final check. You make the tea.
The guarantee
No jargon. No "have you tried turning it off and on again." No leaving you with a half-migrated machine and a list of things to sort out yourself. That's the whole job.
Thirty years of Macs. The things that go wrong aren't new.
Where I work
Not Brighton. Nothing personal — it's just not on the round.
