    My Mac was nocked down by my dogs and cracked the screen I would like to know if I can replace just the screen with an the screen HP, intel that has 3D capability. 1 do I have permission, 2 would it be accepted by my Mac 9.6 2006 ! I hope your answer is yes because I love my computer and I do not have the money at the moment to buy the 999 dollar screen I am hopping to buy in the future!

    No, the screens are not interchangeable. Have you tried looking on eBay? yo might be able to find a used screen.

    It is a 2010 macbook pro with IOS 9.2, and I can't reboot it as my apple user ID is not the same as my friend's...

    iOS is for iPhones, iPad or iPod touches.

    Mac computer use OSX. Your model can go as high as the current OSX 10.11.

    Can you boot to Recovery as I asked in my previous reply?

    As you can see, I only know how to use this but nothing about technology... I cannot boot into recovery, tryed all the options showed when I start the macbook, but couldn't

    When I tried last time it says it has OS X 10.10

    You tried Command R at boot and you didn't get there. What screen did you get?   https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204156

    If your friend still has them, the original Gray discs would get you out of this jam.

     

    If not, the 2010 MacBook Pros should be able to boot the "Full Retail" 10.6.3 DVD, and that is what you should buy from the Apple online store for US$20.

     

    After updating with software Update to 10.6.8, this will get you full access to the Mac App Store, and you can download whatever you were running before.

    I have tried the retail disk on my 2010 MBP without success.  The original install DVD for the 2010 was 10.6.3, same as the retail disk.  The retail disk that I have is functional since I used it to install 10.6. successfully on the 2006 MBP.   I would not bet a lot that it will work.

     

    Ciao.

    Rats, then it must be a custom 10.6.3 build.

     

    That leaves the original gray discs, or a visit to the genius Bar (with appointment) and they will get something loaded for you.

    That seems to be quite correct, though if you go to the apple website for purchasing the retail disk, apple is mum on it. The only other way that MIGHT work, would be to install by using another mac in target disk mode. But  the machine specific disk would have the apple hardware test on it and Ilife.
