If you are having problems with Apple devices run, don't walk, to message David at Mac a Wish for help. He knows his stuff! Additionally, he is prompt, doesn't talk down to you, explains everything clearly, and he quickly unraveled my email problem. He reorganized and deleted content I no longer needed. I think my devices run a little faster. Thank you, David. Your business card is one I will keep. read more

David is a great resource. He is knowledgeable, responsive, easy to work with, and was helpful with my questions and concerns. After he migrated my data from a 15-year-old Mac desktop to a MacBook Air, he recycled my old computer, delivered my MacBook to my door, and spent well over a half hour familiarizing me with the basics. I couldn't have been more pleased! read more

Dave Theile from Mac a Wish was able to do what I failed to do after many tries. I inadvertantly deleted 16,000 photos (some duplicates) frok an external hard drive. I wanted to get them back as there were numerous photos I digitalized from my childhood photo albums and other photos I took over many years. I am 80 now and wanted to see them again and show them to my partner. Dave cam over to my place and picked up the hard drive and returned yesterday with all the photos on a flash drive. Since then I have been going through them and putting them in folders. Suffice to say it has been a nostalgic and moving experience and I am only about 10% done. I think the value for the cost of the service is very fair. I give Mac a Wish five stars. read more

We called David to help us with a full upgrade of our computers, external hard drive and router. This can be an anxious project for us and it was totally the opposite. David is a very knowledgeable,calm, creative resource and we were very glad to have his help. He will pursue a problem until it is fixed or find another solution. He listens to our needs, quickly understands what are our best options and explains everything in understandable ways. His services are reasonably priced. He is a great resource! read more

David immediately responded to my phone call and within hours picked up my tired Mac and determined it needed a new hard drive. From the time he picked it up to the time he finished and I got it back, it was just over a day. Great, friendly service and best of all, my Mac now runs like it is brand new! Thank you David! read more

I was unable to move my Apple emails to folders this morning, and that is essential both for my business and personal email. I called David, and he was available and came over quickly. While he was here, he quickly fixed a bunch of minor problems and showed me many nice security and timesaving features. Many Apple features are hidden behind descriptions and instructions either unintelligible to me or beyond my patience. I appreciate David's plain English explanations, judgments, and quick, painless installation. David is not only a genius with Apple products, but he's fast, pleasant, and affordable. I'd vote 10 stars if they were available! read more

Needed help on using my MacBook. David was fabulous. He knew the methods and he knew how to teach them to me. Great experience!

I was blown away by David's willingness to help me get the service I needed, even if it meant he might not get the business. I had a major issue with my Macbook and reached out to Mac a Wish. David got back to me via text within minutes and gave me several options for moving forward, including options that sent me to other places for possibly better or faster service. I was blown away by his willingness to helpI will use him in the future for any work i need done read more

I have an older desktop that I was hesitant about putting any $$$ into. I own my own business as a graphic designer and in the current economy, can't afford to dive into a new mac system. David came to my office and saw my setup and concluded that a new hard drive would be a good solution with a newer and more efficient drive. He also recommended that I condense a few drives which would help things run smoother. I was so frustrated with seeing the spinning ball that i was ready to get rid of my 2012 mac desktop. David came to my house, diagnosed what should be done, took it to his office, did the upgrade, delivered as promised. He was very efficient and helped me extend the life of my Mac 2012 desktop. ~ Lynda Boesel, Washougal, WA read more

David, from Mac a Wish, just replaced the hard drive on my 8 year old Mac. He was able to come to my home the day we called him, checked out the computer, and took it and returned it the next day working like a brand new computer! He checked to make sure everything was working and patiently explained it to me. Being able to remotely contact David with questions and problems is so helpful and reassuring. I feel like I hit the jackpot when my son found David Thiele's information and contacted him on my behalf. read more

exceeded my expectations cleaned up all devices, made suggestions, was quick and professional read more

Outstanding knowledge and creativity. I am honestly really good with most application software, but networks, NAS, sharing, external systems (like Rose HiFi), et al, is easy to goof up and having someone like David with his skill set is a sure win. As a VP of sales for a public company, NO ONE in our IT units knows as much, or can explain it as simply as David and Mac a Wish. Very highly recommended. You could find cheaper - but in the mid to long run you'll pay a lot less with Mac a Wish read more

We had a computer issue that we just couldn't figure out. We tried Apple Support & got no where close to solving our problem. I called David at Mac a Wish for help. He is knowledgeable, patient & kind, efficient and reasonably priced. I had my Mac back the next day & it was perfect! I will definitely recommend David to anyone that has a Mac computer issue. read more

David knows more about Apple products than anyone I've ever met. He is blazingly smart and loves to figure things out. He is also very reasonable in price. extremely professional and very hard working. read more

David Thiele is knowledgeable, professional and able to make what seem to be difficult problems with the Mac for a general user, really have straight forward and understandable solutions. He is not trying to sell anything, but is candid in suggesting peripheral devices when necessary. HIs explanations are easily understandable to the occasional user and not embellished with technical terminology. He was very helpful when we replaced a printer and also discouraged us from adding unnecessary security devices as the Mac has quite sufficient security components. He arrived when he said he would and is quite frankly a very easy person to deal with and it was simple to make an appointment with him. We have used him a number of times in the past and would use him again without reservation. read more

I highly recommend David. I asked him a few questions and he gave me a solution that I could handle myself. He was quick to respond and very personable and professional. I will certainly turn to him again if I have any problems in the future! read more

My MacBook Pro didn't boot up. David install new hard drive and cleaned it up in about 2 hours. So far so good. Reasonable price and great service. I know where I'm going if I have any apple problem. read more

David is so awesome! After numerous calls to TurboTax and Apple, I haven't been able to find my last 5 years tax returns since last year on my MacBook Pro. In no time at all, David was able to help me remotely and now I have ALL of them. He also helped get rid of a lot of things slowing my computer down and helped me upgrade my operating system which I haven't been able to do. Will keep him on speed dial for the future. Worth every penny!! read more

When it comes to tech stuff, I often find myself intimidated or confused by so much information. David is the kind of navigator I needed to help me understand the technology I have, what it can do for me and what upgrades I actually do and do not need to get the most out the system I currently have. He is respectful of the client no matter what age or stage of usage we have. I will be using his services from now on. read more

Extremely helpful!! I've had apple referred companies out and IT remoted in only to be charge exorbitant fees and zero solutions David showed up right on time and figured out the problem and fixed issues we didn't know we had. He fixed our back up problems, downloaded drop box and malware bytes on all computers, transferred shared folders to drop box, cleared up memory issues, assisted in ordering RAM off amazon, discovered our ESET wasn't active and figured out why our computers took a dive at 11:00 on the daIly. All for less than $300!! David is a genius! He just resolved issues on five computers in one sitting. Efficient and successful. Everything I needed. read more

I have never experienced such excellent, professional computer repair service...ever, as I did with David and Mac a Wish. He got back to me within hours, set up a same-day appointment, came to my house (masked and sanitized), and fixed my computer issues in less than half the time. He's friendly, provides recommendations for caring for my iMac, and explained what went how and how he fixed it. You can't get any better service anywhere than from David and Mac a Wish. Thank you, David. read more

Working independently as a Designer for decades it's been vital that I have good Mac tech support since that can be the difference between being able to work or not. I feel fortunate to have David as my go-to guy for all my Mac needs. He's come through for me more than once. He's timely, efficient, friendly, and very good at what he does. Hands down the person to use. Highly recommend his services. read more

David is exactly the person you want to work with: Honest, knowledgeable, and has reasonable rates. He treats people according to the golden rule. read more

Isn't always great to get your computer fixed under budget and sooner than expected? Well in this case David did the unthinkable. Let me start at the beginning. My wife's Macbook was having trouble with its display screen. It would fade out and disappear. At first, you could fix it by rotating the screen a little here and a little there. But after a while, this stopped working. Then the screen went dark altogether. Well, we really use this laptop a lot and so we know we needed to get it fixed if possible. I was dreading the process and knew we were looking at some serious cash. I called around town, got a few estimates in the $200 plus range and the shortest turnaround time we got was 3 weeks!!! But then I checked Yelp and saw the rave reviews for David. Plus his place is only a few blocks away. What did we have to lose? I called him on a Friday at 5:15pm and he said bring it on over. He said he'd take a look, order parts, and hope to have it done within a few days. He said it would run around $125 bucks unless something unforeseen would occur. My wife rushed it over and now at 8:30pm the SAME NIGHT, she is typing on her laptop. David swapped out a cable AND inverter board from another MACBOOK he already had and even replaced some of my wife's worn out keys. Total cost: $100 bucks and it works like a charm. Needless to say we are thrilled with the service and David. To recap... half of the projected budget and 3 hours turnaround time. I know it all fell in line for us, but we feel David is a good guy whom you can trust. read more

Been a Mac man ever since 1993 (true!) and have had only a couple "emergencies" in that time. Yesterday was a doozy. My Mac Mail program lost all my email accounts and all of my correspondence, etc. I have a big event coming up this weekend and I was in a panic!! I contacted David Thiele of "Mac-A-Wish" and, by using a remote program, he restored my accounts, cleaned up corrupted files and got back ALL of my correspondence...within an hour! I was amazed! Now, he's coming to my office next week to upgrade my machine to Snow Leopard. Bottom line, he saved me and my business. I can't say enough about David, his people skills (he calmed me down immediately), his knowledge of Mac computers and programs. AND, his prices are better than anyone out there! I strongly recommend David Thiele and his Mac-A-Wish business. I also recommend storing his contact info in your address book. You never know when mayhem will strike! Thanks David.... read more

The battery of my MacBook Air wasn't working properly so I took it to Mac a Wish. David ordered a new battery, had it installed and did an SMC reset for me all within a couple days! He was very responsive to my messages and knowledgeably answered all of my silly questions. I will definitely return if I run into anymore problems! read more

I am SO grateful that I found David. He was so accommodating and did everything I needed him to do for a very reasonable price. I hope he stays in business a long time because I want him to be my go-to when I need help with my Macs. Have no fear in getting in touch with David, you will be in excellent hands!! read more

So great. I searched online on a friday. Called geek and nerd companies, no one called me back. Called others and not available til monday. Called more and rates sky high. I found David and he called me instantly after I left him a message. He texted me, we set up a time. He had me download software so I could have him take over my computer from his home. I didnt need to get dressed, find childcare, I just needed to lock myself in the study for 1/2 hour. He fixed all my stuff. He was kind, respectful, considerate and very efficient. I have his name/email/website written and stuck with GLUE to my computer so I do not lose this man. I think I'm going to take the next step and ask him to move in. Call this guy. He is amaze-balls. read more

David did a great job fixing my MacBook screen! He was very easy to get a hold off and was able to have it done in a week. I would definitely recommend David for any computer problems, he is very good at it. read more

David is PHENOMENAL! I first contacted him in May of 2015 to get an estimate on some repairs as well as installing new components into my mid 2009 MacBook Pro. I needed a new trackpad, new visual display assembly, new battery, and I had an SSD harddrive and more memory I wanted installed as well. The quote he gave me was more than fair, and he made sure he had all available information before giving me his estimate. Unfortunately I wasn't able to afford his service at that time. Cut to nearly ONE YEAR LATER, David honored his original estimate and I was able to afford the work. He worked around my schedule to get my computer dropped off, turn around was only a week, and he did an exceptional job. My MacBook Pro now works like new and it's been a few months since everything was done. David is a lifesaver and well worth the investment! read more

My wife and I are retired and we have two Mac laptops and two iPhone 8's, We needed help in setting the Macs to backup with our wireless backup drive and help in getting both Macs to work with our wireless printer. We also had several questions about our "family" use of the iPhones. David from Mac A Wish came to our house and helped us with all our devices and answered all our questions. He was clear in his explanations to us and never "talked down" to us when we had questions. He was very friendly and yet professional as well. We would highly recommend David and Mac A Wish!! read more

If anyone needs help with their Mac, David is your man. Not only is he friendly, very smart, and easy to work with but he's fast and really knows his "stuff". He was the lead Genius at the Apple store, so you know he's good. He can even go remote work if you need help and you can watch him work his magic on your computer. My company will be using him whenever we have any questions or trouble with any Mac product we have. I give him two thumbs up and five stars. He's worth every penny. read more

I found David through Craigslist. He just spent two hours cleaning up 4 years of accrued glitches and problems. He's really smart and very savvy about Macs. When we were looking for internal hard drives for my Mac Pro, he knew that there had been flooding in the country where they were manufactured and that it had caused a temporary shortage, and said I should wait for a while and prices should go down. So, that was really helpful, and he didn't even need to tell me that. From now on, he's my go to guy for all my Macs. read more

Very responsive. Service was quick and well done, including updating MacOS. Highly recommend.

David is professional, straight to the point and knows exactly what he's doing when it comes to Mac products, he took my laptop and within an hour knew was wrong with it, ordered the part and got it repaired, highly recommended read more

I'm sure glad I was able to find David. With little time to spare, he jumped in, met me half way to pick up my computers and finished them by the next morning before leaving town for their baby shower. Everything was done according to plan. Prices were reasonable and he's the kind of guy that instills confidence. I know that I have someone reliable and friendly to turn to the next time I need Mac help. I strongly recommend him. read more
