OS Ventura 13.6.1. Option key doesn't present Start Up boot options Any help please...
Mac mini
Sorry, I was thinking about something else. You should have the keyboard plugged in as I mentioned, and, press the Option key before, or soon after you turn on power.
hello dialabrain, Thanks for trying. Tried your suggestion twice - holding down option until the Mac HD showed up and continued to hold for exactly 10 minutes... got a numb finger now! then I tried once more and gave up after 8 minutes.
My keyboard is wireless running on WiFi.
You have to hold the key down until you see, Loading startup options, or words to that effect. If you don't see that, try plugging in the keyboard with the charging cable first.
I think I missed something so maybe let's try this again. What exactly are you trying to do? And FWIW, wireless keyboards connect by Bluetooth. Is it an Apple keyboard or from a third-party?
Just to add, pressing the option key alone would just let you chose the startup drive.
