To boot from a CD or DVD: Restart your Mac while pressing the C key. This is a great way to free. HP Computer Boot Menu Key in Windows 8/8.1/10. As for HP computer users, sometimes we create a bootable USB and need to enter BIOS setting to change boot menu so that we can boot from CD/DVD/USB, however, most of us are lack of knowledge about HP boot menu key. Here we will describe the details about that.
Hi everyone,
When your Mac powers up, it normally uses the system on its internal hard drive unless you change this behavior by choosing System Preferences@@→Startup Disk. You can also change what your Mac does by holding down the following keys or key combinations during startup. Print these boot option keys, because they’re particularly helpful to have.
My iMac keeps getting stuck on the start-up screen (grey with the rotating circle thing) and never reaches the login screen. I have tried all of the hold down the 'command' key, put in Mac OS X disc and hold the 'c' key down, hold down the 'shift' key etc. troubleshooting recommendations I can find online but... My keyboard hasn't been functioning properly either. I think it's a computer issue and not a keyboard issue because the keyboard is getting power (when I hit the caplocks key it lights up).
So onto my question: does anyone know how to reboot an iMac without using a keyboard?
Thanks a million in advance for anyone with suggestions. I have been working on this for the last 6+ hours and am ready to pull my hair out.
(p.s. I brought the computer over with me from the US but now live in the Philippines. Because of my location I would rather not bring it into a Mac store as I don't really trust the service I might get there with Apple products)
