What is ADC all about
This is what we do...
"To make your IT-life easy, again, is what we do"
Think of Apple Domination Consulting (ADC) as the Woz to your Jobs. We are the IT partner that you want to take with you and your business into the epicentre of the Post-PC Revolution. It is a time when friends are few, and IT foes are many. Our mission is to find you and your IT world, and take you to a place that you never thought your networks would ever support. To save you costs, is why we are here. To make your teams more productive through tech, is why we exist. To myth-buster the cloud, and PWN it like it's nobody's business. To make your IT-life easy, again, is what we do. And To remind you of what a joy IT can be, if you have the right Service Assets. While Apple integration sits close to our heart, if it's IT, we support it. ADC is not about telling you to change what you've come to know and love. We know how attached people can get to old friends (fiends?). We take our customer-relationships very seriously, and so we are not in it for the quick-score. We're here for the long haul, though the Fridays AND the Mondays, the 3PMs AND the 3AMs, until contract termination do us part.
Strategise
Understanding what you want, what you have, where you are, and what you need
Plan
Knowing what do, when to do it, and how to do it like a boss
Transition
Turning your design into a reality, without bringing down the house
Support
Making each day turn into tomorrow, without the need for a permanent fire-extinguisher in hand
The TEAM
This is enough proof that we don't hire zombies, right?

Founder
Our fearless leader…
With over a decade of IT experience, he’s the kind of guy that you want on your team.
A slightly over-the-top addiction to Apple products is his greatest weakness…
Testimonials
What have we done?
As part of my experience and learning as an Apple Certified Technical Coordinator, in an Apple enterprise level environment, we (GetSmarter) called on
Lee’s expertise as an Apple Consultant to evaluate our corporate network and give us recommendations, advise, implement and optimise our Apple network environment.
Lee was professional, courteous and extremely helpful. He made me aware of industry standards and practices, as well as how to configure and tailor-make our network environment to suit GetSmarter’s needs. His consultation was invaluable, both as a personal learning experience and for GetSmarter in a support, security and maintenance aspect.
I would recommend Lee Balsdon to any business or individual looking to leverage Apple’s server environment and to learn what it takes to be an administrate, maintain and develop Apples client management systems.
Apple Certified Technical Coordinator – Get Smarter
“Lee came in to fix a specific issue we were having around networking our studio. He was prompt, efficient and truly knows his shit when it comes to all things Mac.”
“If you need someone to set up your iTunes / Apple TV / iDevice / Netlfix / Hulu environment at your home or office where everything talks to each other / works with each other, then Lee is your man. We have 7 iPads, 4 iPhones, 2 Apple TVs, 3 iTunes accounts, several laptops and a myriad of other devices that all needed to work together. Sounds simple, but the more accounts and devices you add to the mix, the more complex it becomes. What would have taken me 3 months (and LOTS of frustration) to figure out Lee did in three hours. Well worth it and highly recommended.”
“Oh my word – Lee from Apple Domination Consulting literally just saved me from losing five websites!! I am so relieved & can SERIOUSLY recommend this wizard!!”
“This company was recommended by a good friend of mine and I am glad I called them not only did they come out asap but Al was also very pleasant to work with and the price was more than fair”
“I would highly recommend Lee, to fix your Apple Mac when disaster strikes. Not only is he very good at what he does, he is also punctual, honest, reliable and reasonable. From my own experience of my computer crashing, he took away all my stress, and did everything possible to get it fixed at the most affordable rate. Thank you Lee!”
“If you an iMac, iPhone, iPad and such and you hit a traumatising, kill-me-now, I have no wifi, gadget drama, call THIS guy for rockstar skilled service: Lee Apple Domination Consulting
Best ever.”
Just like a dog can sense a disaster before it happens, we can treat issues on your Mac before they turn into catastrophes… Apple Domination has partnered with an international Managed-Services Provider, Watchman Monitoring, and is now offering this to all of our clients, old and new. Essentially, Managed-Services means that we will be on top of, and[…]
Is an TV another TV? I’ve already got a TV… Thankfully, NO. The TV is not a TV with an Apple logo on it. It’s a small black box that connects to your TV, and unlocks some very nice features for you to incorporate into your daily life. If you have a TV that has[…]
**Spoiler alert** YES IT IS! It’s 2017. If you haven’t heard of an SSD, then you’re in luck, I will tell you all about it. If you have heard, but kinda don’t have a cooking clue what all the fuss is about, then you’re also in luck…i’ll tell you what they do and how they[…]
How many times have I received a call from a total stranger, telling me they’ve lost a folder, or their whole machine, but they don’t have any backups, so can I help? Me: “Not unless you want your data back.” Time Machine is Mac’s built-in, automated, backup feature. Let’s break that down: “Built-in” Located in the System[…]
Ah MacKeeper. You keep me in business all year around First things first, DO NOT INSTALL MACKEEPER! Why? MacKeeper masquerades as an antivirus/anti-spyware/anti-adware/“make your Mac super bad-ass fast” app. But, as you can imagine, it does an entire total of 0 of the above. It is a virus? No. Does it add any value to[…]
This morning, the well-reputed Mac Security Blog, The Safe Mac, released the successor to their older Adware Removal Tool and the System Reporter script, named AdMedic. The older tools did a great job, but ran as scripts, and required full app re-downloads to update the adware signature database. This was one of the driving forces behind[…]
15 years ago, you rarely took a 2nd photo of something, since it cost you money to develop them afterwards, and a pretty penny at that. But now…a slightly different problems exist. We are all too happy to just start snapping and keep at at, without fear of creating doubles, triples or even more. While[…]
I don’t know about you, but easily one of the most regular things that I utter to my wife is: “Honey, have you seen my phone anywhere?” Until now, that is. Now I utter, to the room: “Marco!” One of the funniest ways, yet most effective, to find your iDevice when you misplace it (without[…]
Undercover was easily one of the best pieces of software that I have had the privilege of reviewing for 2014! Like any good Apple user, you probably have Find my Mac (Find my iPhone, you know what I mean) enabled, and hope to heck that you will never need to use it. Touch wood though,[…]
After a successful migration of a user from Microsoft Outlook 2011 (*spit*) to Mail for Mac, the user started experiencing this error on a one particular calendar event. “Calendar can’t save the event “event name” to the Exchange Server” After some research, it turns out that the Calendar cache that is created by the Exchange[…]
We all have those little folders on our Macs… The ones that are usually tucked away, a few folder levels down from the Desktop. Those folders that are fine and dandy for your eyes and fingers, but not quite for anyone else’s. And remember, you can use the age-old “hide it in plain sight” technique,[…]
Whether you are trying to drown out some particularly distracting sounds from the local Internet Cafe, focusing your mind on the way to a big presentation, or even trying to calm your thoughts for a good night’s sleep, Noisli is just the app for you. I have been using Noisli for a few weeks now,[…]
It’s something that I have been made aware of before, but like most less-exciting things in life, I chose to just ignore it. “Are you on your iPhone again!?” Enter the clever little app called Moment. Moment comes from developer Kevin Holesh, who actually wrote the app for himself, who suffers from the same problem[…]
Most of us have been there. We whip out the credit card on the Sunday evening bread and milk run, only to find that the card has expired…and now you have to use cash. Or even worse, you get pulled over in a routine traffic check point, to be told that your driver’s licence expired[…]
If you are reading this, then there is a pretty good chance that you like to tinker with your Mac, and believe in the motto “Work smart, not hard!” And if this is true, then Clockwise is just the app to help you do it! The app is very easy to get started with, and is[…]
We’ve all been there… Working on your iPhone or iPad, you come across a website address, phone number, image or a particularly foreign name or surname, and you need to copy and paste it to your Mac, or other device. Between sending text messages, emails and note syncing with iCloud with myself, I came across[…]
If you’re an avid user of your iPhone and iPad mail app, and who isn’t, then you know the frustration; 1 email means 1 attachment! Sending 3 mails for 3 attachment is not an option. So what can you use as an alternative? Multiple Attachments attachments from developer Jan Mazurczak is an excellent choice! From any[…]
You may already know about one of my newest projects, Mac Tech SA. Mac Tech SA is funded purely through the community as well as through sponsorships. We are extremely fortunate to welcome onboard a new member to the Mac Tech SA Family, namely, Wireless Wipes. I had never used Wireless Wipes, or any sanitising wipe[…]
