JED'S CUSTOMER SERVICE NEEDS A SERIOUS UPGRADE!!!!! Called him to talk about my broken MacBook and he began with being receptive (first 30 seconds) but after just ONE minute he became dismissive and rude. When I told him I was hoping for a 1-day to 1 weekend turnaround. He said that I shouldn't worry about the turnaround time of a day or a weekends length since the MacBook had been broken for months anyway. He said I was being "ridiculous" in the most pompous tone he could muster. When I tried to explain that the SAME signs and issues had occurred a year and a half before and was fixed within 1.5 hrs at the Apple Genius Bar or that other techs had listened to me thoroughly and come to similar conclusions that it was in fact the operating system and could be handled within a day. He proceeded to say "Anyway!!!" in a very loud tone (I pulled the phone from my ear at that point) while I was talking, rudely interrupting me and then changing the subject. I looked down at my phone flabbergasted. I do not understand why Jed would think a new customer would EVER continue to use his services with an attitude like that. I disconnected the phone immediately. It lasted a mere 2 minutes!!! Whether my computer could be fixed in a day or a weekend or even a week, I'm open to it all, as long as the end result is a functioning MacBook. He didn't get a chance to know that because he was being obnoxious and unprofessional. As an elite yelper, I do my best to be as detailed and honest as possible. From my experience, I wouldn't even bother with paying for his services, customer service is of TOP PRIORITY and the way he spoke to me (in a mere 2 min phone call at that) was enough to make me disconnect the phone call right away. I've been in contact with a few techs (requesting estimated quotes and turn around times) and this was the ONLY negative incident. I'm still shaking my head at him calling me "ridiculous"!! The purpose of the phone call was to be consulted and informed. NOT disrespected and dismissed. I'm sure there will be a reply from this person. Not sure how they'll try to defend being so rude, but I'm sure an attempt will be made. Please feel free to message me privately for facts and truth. read more

Pro Mac NYC - Phone call was only 2 mins in and I HAD to disconnect it. His dismissive and rude comments and tone were too great to handle!!!! Smh - IT Services & Computer Repair Near Me

I don't write a ton of reviews, but Jed Weaver of ProMacNYC certainly deserves one. Jed was responsive, professional and highly efficient. He was very thorough and went above and beyond in replacing my hard drive. He performed a full scan and caught an issue that was taking up a ton of space that I had completely missed. He also made several suggestions about how to increase my computer's performance and better secure my data, all of which I really appreciated and am implementing now. Jed is a consummate professional and provides wonderful customer service. I highly recommend him! read more

The real deal in every respect. I would have given 6 stars if I could. Seven! My story: 3 weeks on and off with Apple Support (including a remote diagnostic sent to their ninja-engineer squad) with the final verdict: solid state portion of the Fusion Drive failing. Took to best known Mac Repair Store in Manhattan and got $600+ est to replace solid state portion of the Fusion Drive, which seemed unwise to me, it being a 6 year old iMac. What if the non-ssd portion of the hard drive fails a week later? Then I found Jed Weaver/Pro Mac NYC. His estimate was less than one third the Manhattan store's price, I agreed, and the repair was put in motion. I was offered a choice of replacement parts, with very low mark-up prices compared to Amazon list, which is where the new SSD hard drive would be sourced. Every time I suggested that spending more money would be ok I was patiently talked out of spending more than he deemed was warranted. The repair was estimated to take 3-4 days but one last thing...Jed Weaver/Pro Mac NYC wanted to spend a little extra time on a hunch they had that my whole problem was software related...I was skeptical, I mean, two Apple authorities had diagnosed a failing SSD portion of the Fusion drive, but in the end I thought, why not? The upshot? For even less than original estimate (substantially less), Jed Weaver/Pro Mac NYC fixed my iMac by patiently, thoroughly and exhaustively combing through the 6+ years of accumulated software detritus on my machine and here I am: 3 months later and still enjoying brand-newish performance from my mac! Oh, and he restored almost every file I had, from a very sketchy set of Time-machine back-ups. I can't recommend this person highly enough. No matter where I am, how far away I move, how many more macs I own- this is my guy. And if you're smart he'll be your guy too. An Apple savant with integrity, it doesn't get any better than this. ps. I have given Jed Weaver/Pro Mac NYC permission to hand out my contact info so if you're still not sold you can get in touch. read more

Pro Mac NYC is not just for "Pros" but for non-pros who just need computer help. However, they did help me with my Documentary and have helped me with every new computer purchase for the last 6+ years. Reliable, dependable and super helpful. Jed has helped me organize all my digital files and add external harddrives and make some sense of it. If you think you know everything about your computer- think again and if you think you know nothing, you're probably right, but Pro Mac NYC can change that! read more

Incredibly Amazing! In short, the price was EXTREMELY fair/reasonable, the service impeccable, and the information/advice was second to none. I was "wowed" by the experience I had working with Pro Mac NYC (Jed). I reached out to him regarding issues with my 2010 Macbook Pro. After emailing him, he said I could simply leave it with the doorman. I did, and within 12 hours Jed emailed me regarding exactly what was wrong the the computer, and offered a number of solutions that would allow me to get my baby up and running. Jed was knowledgable and responsive in a way I've rarely seen with any company. I was looking into prices for a SSD and memory to improve my performance, and when asking him questions regarding brands/sizes, he was always responding within minutes. Additionally, Jed was extremely fast; my computer was ready 1 day after the parts arrived at his shop. GO TO JED, you wont regret ! read more

Jed is great, smart and patient, especially with fogeys like me. He fixed every problem, including refixing the things I messed up after he left. He's smart, fun and very generous. read more

Did a google search for SSD replacement for my iMac that crashed. Apple couldn't assist because my machine was older. They gave me some recommendations. I decided to do some leg work and found Jed. He was so nice and always accessible to answer my questions. He kept me informed during the entire process since my Mac had crashed and my time machine was all I had left for a back up. The work was done quickly and extremely inexpensive and he recommends what parts to get if you prefer to shop around you have that freedom as well. I took all of his recommendations and even on the day of pick up. He gave me more insight and tips to make my computer run more efficient and ways to get a longer life out of it. Saved all my cherished memories and saved me purchasing a new computer. Would highly recommend Jed for work in the future. read more

I was all ready to bite the bullet and buy a new Mac as my MacBook Pro from 2011 was starting to slow to a crawl and I was being greeted with that dreaded multicolored spinning circle of death more times than I'd like to remember. I went so far as to go to the Apple Store twice and spec out my new machine. It was going to run me about $3000 all in. But before I pulled the trigger I researched local Apple consultants because I was having some issues with malware that a new machine wouldn't solve since my plan was transfer everything from the old machine to the new machine. Long story short, during my research I found Pro Mac NYC and Jed Weaver and am I every happy that I did. For $150 and the cost of an SSD drive, Jed gave my machine new life. He resolved the malware problem, cleaned up some other junk that was slowing down my machine, installed the SSD drive, and literally saved me more than $2500...at least for a few years. This was all done in a timely manner and with great customer service. Highly recommended! read more

This might be the most deserved 5-star review I've ever given on Yelp--Jed is as good as it gets. So my computer died about a week ago with no foreshadowing. Just one morning boom, wouldn't turn on. Gray screen of death. PANIC. Especially because I'm a cheap idiot and kept putting off buying an external hard drive to back up the incredible amount of crap I've accumulated on this old MacBook Pro. Ugh, why do I do this to myself. So, said PANIC led me to Yelp, where I found Jed, aka Pro Mac NYC. Not too many reviews, but I thought I'd give it a shot since he seemed accommodating and knowledgable. I called him with my problems and he was able to fit me in that day--awesome! It only took him 24 hours to get back to me with what was wrong with my computer and the steps we needed to take to fix it. He was 100% upfront about the costs from the get go, which is super helpful to me as a perpetually cash-strapped student. What he quoted me was probably like 1/8 of what I thought it was going to cost for all he did, but then again, what do I know about computers. In any case, it was extremely reasonable. He's given me back my computer in amazing shape and then some. He even showed me a few new tricks on it and installed some extras that he thought I would find helpful. I don't think I've ever experienced such thoughtful and attentive services, especially not for my computer (ahem, Apple Store.) Anyway, tl;dr: Jed is awesome. If you're panicking like I was because your computer is broken and angry at you please call him. He will make it all better again. And not leave you broke. The end! read more

Despite the fact that my LapTop was completely crashed & crammed with unnecessary (even malicious) software, and my back-ups were incorrectly organized, Jed managed to get my computer running (faster) and was able to retrieve all my important data. It took a few days because I had large amounts of data to move between several HDs with different connection speeds. But he did it. I also got a lesson in computer organization, which is extremely helpful. Jed Weaver is honest and completely reliable, and recommend him without hesitation. read more

Jed did not complete the job of setting up my Mac as he is limited to his set way of doing things. What he could not do what completed by a non Mac tech in a very short period of time. Nice person, but, needless to say, I was very disappointed. upper east side read more

One of the best tech support experiences I've had. Courteous, promptly gets the job done and even took the time to walk me through a few things to keep my computer in good health. I much preferred working with Jed over going to a shop or being stuck on the phone. read more

I messed up the upgrade for my older iMac and was stuck. I searched Craigslist this morning and saw Pro Mac's ad and called Jed. I explained the situation and he changed his schedule a bit to come over and finish my upgrade. He was here within 45 minutes as he promised and started working on the iMac after asking a few questions and confirming the situation. While the iMac was upgrading, he offered to look at my other MAC and we updated that as well to the latest version. He left me with my upgrade in a good spot and instructions for restoring from my backup. He didn't need to stay and charge me money for that and he was honest about it. He did say he would call me later in the day to make sure everything worked and if it didn't he could remote in. The upgrade finished fine and I restored my data. As he promised, he called me later to check and everything was fine. I've used a couple of techs before a long time ago and I would recommend Jed for any work you may have. read more

I was very impressed with Jared and his services. He came to my place and within the first 10 minutes had turned a lethargic 2009 iMac into a machine I can use without being frustrated, aggravated or motivated to purchase a new one. read more

I have used Jed's services on a number of occasions and he has provided excellent support; his turn-around time has always met my requirements that have been immediate on a couple of calls. Jed makes recommendations on software to help in organizing my computer systems and for someone with not too much knowledge on computers, his advice is absolutely terrific. He checks that my LapTop, Ipad and my Desktop are all running perfectly before he leaves. I am delighted to have been fortunate enough to fin ProMac NYC - Jed who has always been prompt, courteous and most of all professional. Highly recommended. read more

Jed was a great communicator, straight forward, I told him what I needed and he made it easy and quick. I even had some unrelated issues with my old Imac and he even diagnosed that for free. Good rates and nice guy. read more

A really knowledgeable computer pro is worth his weight in RAM. Jed came to my rescue, handling issues large and small with speed and confidence. I've watched many techs wrestle with an issue, unable to fix it and unwilling to admit it's something they don't know. Jed either knows it and fixes it quickly and efficiently - or researches the issue and then fixes it. Either way, he instills confidence that it will get done and get done properly. He's reliable and pleasant and reasonable in his fees. I would recommend Jed for all things computer oriented. read more

Great experience setting up my new wireless printer. Also used the hour to clean up my computer and made some very useful suggestions. Would def recommend Jed Weaver and Pro Mac NYC, very easy and convenient! read more

I was new to NYC and my Mac had just gone on the fritz. As a writer, I can't be without my computer even for a day. I found Jed online ... and by the end of the afternoon I was back in business. He's easy to work with, easy to understand, generous, wonderfully available ... I was so pleased with his services as a Mac advisor that I asked him to redesign my website. Not only did he completely redo my site, he taught me a huge amount about how to use the site to best promote my work. No frustration, ever. Reasonable rates. And he's been great about offering support as I've gotten comfortable with maintaining the site myself. read more

I feel like I have a new computer! Jed took my 2011 MBP and gave it a whole new life- I no longer have any rainbow pinwheels and the speed is so much faster~ in all ways! read more

Jed is the best MAC consultant. He is also very good at solving problems by phone. I have worked with him for manyyears and often find his suggestions pay off. Stuart Margulies read more

My experience was less than satisfying with Jed Weaver. I called him because of the enthusiastic reviews on Yelp when my wife's Mac Mini would not start. He came right away, the next day, and spent 15 minutes with the machine and said it was either a logic board or a power supply and that I had to take it in to Apple. He said he felt bad about charging me $30 for the call when he didn't really do anything but diagnose the problem. On the way out, he asked to see my computer, the same model. It was working very slowly, so he spent the rest of the hour cleaning up the clogs and mentioned that I'd have a faster machine if I increased the RAM. Then he got up and called it "an even hour," and asked for $85. The next day, my computer was operating as slowly as it was before. He called and sent me an email saying he had 4K of RAM which he'd happily install for $50 plus $25 for labor. When I sent him an email asking him if the upgrade would be guaranteed (as it was from a third-party vendor; i.e. him), he never responded. He seemed more interested in generating work than worrying about getting my wife's computer back on line. I can't honestly recommend him. read more

Jed is a genius! He diagnosed and fixed the issue with my iMac after I was about to abandon all hope. I'd been having issues with my iMac and several trips to the Geek Squad repair desk at Best Buy proved useless because the same problem would keep occurring. Jed is very knowledgeable and the cost to rebuild the hard drive, install new ram and system software was very affordable. I'm incredibly happy with his good work and can't recommend his services highly enough. read more

I have worked with Jed now for approximately 3 years. He has been a God send and has not only set up numerous websites for me but has instructed me on how to update them myself. Jed at Pro Mac has been my go-to guy if I have any form of computer problems. He has shown me how to organize files, back up all my data and make sure my computers are running at maximum efficiency. He is quick, friendly, cost-effective, highly knowledgeable and honest. read more

Jed is really good at providing tech assistance, he rescued data from my old drive in 24 hours. Another time he installed new hard drive and backed up the old one, and is generous with advice. Honest person, admits if he does not know something, and does the work himself or tells you where to get it done. read more

I just moved to the city with two very old computers, the move did them both in. I used google and found Pro Mac. Jed came over right away. He was incredibly patient , knowledgeable and trustworthy. He had one computer working like new and got a document from the other one that I thought was lost. He contacted me after wards to make sure everything was working well. I definitely recommend Jed, he's amazing. read more

Jed spent 3 hours working on my PC. He came ill prepared, but more importantly he came with very little knowledge on how to effectively remedy a computer issue. He spent a half hour just trying to get into PC "safe mode". A PC expert should at the very least know about safe mode. His solution for all your PC issues is to get rid of Windows and load the Linux operating system. After he loads it, he tells you, "look it's all working now". Actually it's not, that only tells me the problem is not my hard drive. I was losing access to all my emails. After I told him Linux was not a solution, he attempted to load windows 10 but he came with a defective flash drive so he couldn't load it. This pseudo expert after three hours of not solving any of my issues tells me that he was not charging me for three hours, but just the initial $100 that we agreed to. So I guess today anyone can call themselves a PC expert, come to your residence, pretend they know what they are doing, and walk away with $100 without having fixed your problem or tell you he got close to fixing it as I was told. I then took my PC to Shine electronics on the UWS, explained what this scam artist did, and they solved my problem almost immediately. I hired him based on all his positive reviews. Maybe he only knows about Macs or perhaps he's using smoke and mirrors there as well. Don't make the same mistake as I did, DO NOT REWARD FAILURE.Buyer Beware!! read more

Jed at Pro Mac was extremely helpful for me. He can consult on a range of computer issues from website management to the most minor (but very helpful) issues that you deal with everyday. He's professional and organized and very easy to work with. If you need to step up your computer mastery and make your life a lot easier--he's the guy to call. read more

This was the second time I used Jed and each time he was what I needed. Knowing I was in trouble he squeezed me into a busy schedule and helped me resolve my serious problem. His work and advice are right on. He seems to know all the ins and outs of a Mac very well. I already recommended him to a friend and would do so again. read more

Although I was wary about going to a stranger's private office, I had a great experience with Pro Mac. I originally came to Jed to remove my macbook's hard drive after a genius told me that the computer was officially dead due to water damage. Turns out it wasn't dead at all. Jed managed to reboot my computer, clean out the caches and grit in the hardware, and find a replacement program for a minor external piece that was broken. Even though I was there for much longer than I expected (due to the fact that my computer wasn't actually dead), he gave me a very fair price. It's refreshing to find a service that's genuinely helpful and affordable. read more

Never mind the so-called Genius in the glass box downtown--Jed has better answers at a better price. I was sure that my Macbook Pro's hard drive was dead, so I brought it to Jed. Not only did he discover the actual and unlikely culprit (a bad RAM chip), he also saved me lots by using a spare part he had handy to replace my chip. Throughout diagnosing the problem and offering me a variety of solutions, Jed was quick to respond and patient with my modest understanding of laptop hardware. I recommend him highly over the price-gouging know-it-alls who I used to see for Apple fixes. Now I know better. read more
