Local Apple Mac Expert

If you’re in the Hickory, NC area and need assistance with your Apple PCs or MacBooks then look no further than Union Square Computers. We're the premier destination for all your Apple-related needs. Whether you've experienced a hard drive crash on your iMac, require a macOS reinstallation (Apple renamed OS X to macOS in 2016 and the latest version is macOS 14 Sonoma) or need a battery replacement for your MacBook then USC has you covered. We service both desktops and laptops.

Repair Process & Compatibility

Before repairs we’ll request your Mac’s details:

• For Macs introduced after the M1 processor, serial number lookup isn’t feasible.
• Please provide your model number (starts with “A”) and EMC number (found near the serial number).
• On laptops this is printed on the bottom. On other Macs you can find this informatgion in the fine print. A phone photo helps magnify the text.
• Apple ends support for products after 7 years. We install OpenCore Legacy Patcher on older Macs which enables them to run the latest macOS versions.

Note: USC is not an Apple Store or Authorized Repair Center. Apple’s authorization costs (around $20,000) made it impractical. Our pricing beats Apple Store quotes 100% of the time.

Mac Upgrades in Hickory, NC

Looking to enhance your Mac’s performance? Consider these upgrade options:

• Memory (RAM) Upgrade: Boost multitasking and speed. Some newer Macs have soldered RAM which limits upgrade options.
• SSD Conversion: Replace traditional HDDs with faster and more reliable SSDs. This upgrade can breathe new life into older Macs.
• Software Troubleshooting: Updates or reinstallations often resolve compatibility issues. If problems persist, professional help is recommended.

Apple's design choices (like soldered components) can limit flexibility. USC understands these challenges and finds the best solutions to maximize your Mac's longevity and performance.

Mac Virus & Spyware Removal

Contrary to popular belief Macs are not immune to malware. Cybercriminals profit by stealing personal and financial data often selling it in countries with lax regulations.

• Malware can hide undetected, extracting passwords, credit card numbers and other sensitive information.
• As Apple’s market share grows experts predict these threats will continue.

Union Square Computers provides thorough malware scans, spyware removal and system security tools to safeguard your identity and keep your Mac running clean.
