Urgently need advise because I have hit too many brick walls!!
I have a 15" Macbook Pro 2008 A1260. The Logic board has died. [I have confirmed this with a service center] HD is fine and all date and programs are there.
I am using Final Cut Pro Suit 2 (FCP 6) to edit some videos for a textbook project I am authoring. I also have many photos that are included in the textbook that are edited with Lightroom 2 & Photoshop CS5. I have invested 2 years and thousands of dollars in this project. I need about 2 months more to finish this textbook.
* I do not want to buy the latest Mac with FCPX. I don't want to spend the money and the time learning the new, FCPX, Plus none of my work would mesh smoothly with the new programs. The patch work and learning curve would take 2 months alone.
* I am working at an American university in the Middle East and I can't get the old MBP fixed because people here don't usually "repair" things.. they just buy new. I have had the IT dept on campus look at it and they don't have any suggestions.
Any suggestions how I can get back to working using all my old programs and date?
Thanks
Sands
