But when I log in my Apple ID it won't start the installation. I press the Sign In button like a thoudsan times but nothing happens. I was thinking about bringing it to the shop and repair it but I don't have enough money 😟😟😟😟. So please guys help me out !!!

If the issues you related to in an earlier thread, were actually resolved and
the mackeeper + AGV other bad software with its problems fixed, then the
matter of your drive being wiped may be the cause of there being no OS X.
Your previous post implied troubles ahead:
A partition on the hard drive for Recovery, if erased, won't be there for the
system to be helped restore from the internet. As a new drive would need
to be correctly prepared for use in Mac, a format & system installed from
the internet. So if you erased the entire drive, that Recovery partition may
be missing. Or the data on the drive so corrupted that it isn't accessible.
You may need to plan on replacing the computer hard drive, of suitable spec
and durable quality. An iFixit.com repair guide for your Mac model is online.
If you had a Time Machine backup or external archive duplicate of your files
in a storage device, that may be accessed later to migrate missing content.
This has essential advice if your computer has later OS X w/o install DVDs:

Which version of OS X is installed by OS X Recovery?

As you appear to have a MacBook Pro (not a Mac Pro, since that name is
used by Desktop model; and the MacBook relates to Portable model, this
may be move to the correct ASC discussion based on hardware.
I see no references direct to an OS X version or specific MB/Pro model. As
more information may be needed to help you, please detail product specs
and model build year; also display size helps, because other specs apply.
See if the information in the OS X Recovery link helps make some headway.
Good luck in this matter! 🙂
I have 2 things I forgot to told.
1. It has nothing to do with my last problem
2. My mom gave her Macbook to me( which is this one ) but when I asked her about her Apple ID she said she TOTALLY forgot it 'cause she haven't used her Apple ID for 10 years.
So do you have any other suggestions ?
What is the exact model year of your MBP?
Ciao.
Yes.
The braille-like thread you left has my best dexterity unable to follow.
Like a string without measuring knots, so are the detail-less topics.
As stated, the details are lacking; they are essential due to the many
models of product that have a similar name yet can differ quite a bit.
Offer more clues.
I've warmed up my crystal ball, & have incense burning.
(If the computer has a slot load optical drive, it may have shipped
with an OS X install-restore DVD software set; you may need it.)
Oh, I've been chanting, too.😝
{PS: the Hosts were asked to relocate your Mac from desktop section
to the portable computer section, based on what little info was offered}
My MBP is mid 2009. Why ???
It's a mid 2009 MBP and yes, it has a slot load optical drive but i don't have the DVD 'cause my friend has a same problem and he has a MBP 100% same as mine so I let him borrowed my DVD but then he lost it.

A 2009 MBP came with Leopard installation disks which will allow you to install an OSX and get the MBP functional again. You say your friend lost your original disks? I suggest that you tell your friend to get you replacements by contacting Apple Customer Support. He will need your MBPs EXACT serial number which is on the bottom of the case.
If you want to install a newer OSX, you will need to install Snow Leopard. The retail Snow Leopard disk has been discontinued by Apple so you will have to find another source. Amazon is selling them. The Snow Leopard combo update is still available online. By running that, you will have 10.6.8 installed allowing you to install any of the later OSXs.
Ciao.
