While you might assume that these options require a USB keyboard or other physical connection, this is not always the case.

How to manage OS X boot options with wireless keyboards

There are a couple of workarounds if you find yourself in this situation. Apple's Bluetooth hardware controllers activate after all of the system's self-tests at boot complete and the EFI firmware loads successfully, which is indicated by the system playing the standard Mac startup sound. It is at this point that the system will accept boot variables, either stored in the PRAM or those being sent via keyboard inputs. These are then passed to the OS X kernel to invoke the desired startup sequence.

If any inputs are being sent via the Bluetooth keyboard before the controllers are active, then they will not be recognized by the system. However, if these inputs are performed after the controllers are activated, then they will be properly read.

    Join our email lists! You will need to use some form of wired keyboard. I have run into this problem personally, and a wired keyboard was the only workaround I ever found: Dec 30, 2: I think Apple has a problem here with recovery mode, at least on newer iMacs. I have a new 5K iMac with wireless, rechargeable keyboard and mouse. You can't use startup keys with wireless keyboards because they don't connect to the system early enough in the boot process.

    OK, you really can because the rechargeable keyboard does work early enough in the boot process if you plug in the charging cable. But there is no Recovery Partition on my brand new iMac doesn't show up in the boot manager; doesn't show up in disk utility. I don't know, but apparently Recovery Mode boots by going over the internet to Apple's servers.

    So now I am in Recovery Mode. But now my mouse doesn't work in Recovery Mode. I can use the arrow keys to move up and down among the 4 options in Recovery Mode, but I can't select any of them with the Enter or Return keys. Recovery Mode is useless.
