A Full Software Rebuild
Back it up. Wipe it. Start again.
Sometimes it’s worth chasing down the exact cause of a problem. Often it’s better to hit it with both barrels of the shotgun.
If your Mac is underperforming or misbehaving in any way, a full software rebuild will most likely fix that problem.
The process:
- Full, verified user data backup using Carbon Copy Cloner, before anything changes
- Erase HD or SSD (or both)
- Clean, fresh macOS install — using OpenCore Legacy Patcher for newer OSes on older Intel Macs, if desired
- Selective data restore, from “bring it all over” to “just my files, none of the old app settings”
- User account set up to match your home folder, with sensible Finder settings
- Your apps reinstalled from your list – or a default applications folder, built for speed
- A keyboard and case clean
You end up with a clean OS, a tidy default collection of applications, your personal user data restored the way you choose, and no ‘warts or barnacles’ running in the background. A clean keyboard, case and a let’s go attitude!
This is Mac Zen.
If your Mac has never had a mid-life crisis oops I mean rebuild, and you’re here browsing this website right now looking for a solution, this rebuild is probably overdue. You owe it to yourself, and you definitely owe it to your milled-from-aluminium friend – book it in for therapy.
Deep Cleaning (Inside & Out)
Give your grotty Mac a spruce. Inside and out.
- Deep internal clean (model-dependent — fanless iMacs aren’t worth opening)
- Keyboard blast with compressed air
- Gentle screen clean
- Keyboard and external surfaces
Your Mac will feel daisy-fresh, and might even improve battery life. Sticky spills may not comply.
Mac laptop screen & battery replacement
Battery no longer holding a charge? Cracked or failing screen? Mac Zen replaces batteries and screens in Mac laptops (MacBook Air and MacBook Pro) using quality third-party parts. Each job is quoted per model. Call 0411 223 671 for a quote.
The Mac Revamp Full Day Spa
Software rebuild + deep clean = Mac Zen.
For when your Mac is slow, hot and grotty — or you’ve piled up software over the years and want a clean slate. Or you’re about to put it through a window.
The Day Spa is everything at once, above, below, all done together: the full software rebuild, plus the deep internal and external clean.
It goes in dirty, slow and confused. It comes back shiny, fast and like new!
Note: the Day Spa is only for the Mac itself.
Malware Removal & Security Cleanup
Everyone knows someone who’s been hacked.
If you’ve clicked something you shouldn’t have, been told you have malware, or you think someone’s had remote access and possibly installed some — this is fixable.
- Remote session to check for suspicious hacktivity
- Antivirus install and scan (Intego, BitDefender and Sophos are worth considering, so are the free tools at Objective See)
- Manual inspection of ~/Library for anything that shouldn’t be there
- Browser plugin cleanup
Paid and free security tools, plus real eyeballs on the actual files.
For anything serious, the surest fix is the full rebuild above — your files come across, the settings and preferences don’t, and nothing unwanted survives.
