Recent Success Stories
The Challenge: An in-home visit with a Larkspur client whose iPhone 15 screen was not recognizing her touch, her phone was running out of storage space, and she was being charged for subscriptions for apps she wasn’t using.
The Solution: Client received tutoring in app management (including how to offload apps to free up space), setting up acceptable and functional touch settings, and identifying the core storage space issue on her phone.
The Result: The number of apps she was using (and paying for) was greatly reduced. Her touch screen issue was resolved and her storage space constraint was addressed. 😊
The Challenge: A Tam Valley client, using an iMac, was experiencing his computer running slowly. As well, he stated the need to clean up an unorganized desktop that was causing him to be frustrated when attempting to locate files.
The Solution: Worked with the client to implement a proper file hierarchy and showed them how to properly, easily, and efficiently move from a cluttered desktop to an orderly desktop.
The Result: Grateful client who booked a second appointment to clean up their extensive photo and video storage on their iMac. 😎
The Challenge: A Larkspur client was grappling with an iPhone that had gotten cluttered with too many apps scattered across multiple home screens. As well, she receiving a frequent barrage of spam calls.
The Solution: Through tutoring her on app navigation on her iPhone and assisting her with call screening, via a recent iOS update, her iPhone was now easier to use and her spam call volume was mitigated.
The Result: Repeat client who graciously referred us to a friend and has a less contentious relationship with her iPhone. 😀
