Recovery Mode started in recovery mode but I cannot get "continue" after selecting install OS. The Tab key gets me over to continue but Return does not work. Also my apple Mouse does not work either.

MacOS Recovery Mode = annoying I'm frustrated with MacOS recovery mode. To boot into MacOS recovery mode, you're at risk of an unsafe shutdown due to its poor design. You have to use the power button, which can easily be held down at the wrong time, potentially corrupting your OS by triggering a forced shutdown. This design is incredibly stupid. When I attempt to boot into it by holding down the power button for the entire duration of the computer starting/booting, csrutil doesn't work consistently. Occasionally, it magically starts working, but the conditions required for csrutil to function properly are not clear.

MAC M1 AIR: DFU mode failing to restore/revive/erase Hello. I have mac m1 air and it is failing to restore in DFU mode with the below error. The System cannot be restored on this device. Device added from invalid state Restoring - This means that either we got a disconnection during restore, or we go the connect event twice [com.apple.MobileDevice.MobileRestore - 0xFAA (4010)]. Also long pressing power button does not launch Startup Options. It shows loading startup options... text and restarting macbook. Finally showing support.apple.com/mac/restore page. I tried either way several times, funny thing is I bought this laptop 5 months ago and last time it failed because I forgot to connect power to my laptop while updating OS.

I am having difficulty understanding your concern. For now please review How to revive or restore Mac firmware - Apple Support.

Plus, you need to properly identify the model of your Mac. There has never been a MacBook M1 model. You have either a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro.
