ReBoot Holdng down R Key

[Dittoman1]

I m using 27 inches iMac, late 2013. I m trying to reboot holding down R key so it ll go into safe mode then click Disk Utitiliy doesn't work, I realized I have Bluetooth Keyboard and its off during reboot, what other way could I use R key when reboot, Use Plug in keyboard so it stays on during reboot??

Thanks

...just want make sure you know that command r gets you Recovery Mode, which is similar to using the old Install DVDs to boot for system repairs.

Safe Mode requires you to hold the shift key after startup gong sound. Safe mode automatically does hard drive check and deletes some system caches and disables 3rd party extensions. Also a useful startup choice.
