Greetings,

Recently my 3 year old MBP has lost its video capability. I took it to my local Apple store and apparently its a logic board issue which is going to cost $1400 to fix. Unfortunately I can't justify spending even more dough then I already have on the notebook for service.

So.. what I'd like to do is extract my iTunes library and various other documents. This must be possible, but I'm not sure how to approach it.

Currently the MBP boots just fine, and the only issue is video - so I'm hoping I can still extract the information without having to resort to removing the HDD.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
 
get yourself an external hard drive enclosure, drop in the one from your MBP, plug into another computer that can read that format (probably another mac) and take what you need. voila🙂

I don't really see why you would go through the hassle of NOT removing the HD.
