Even after trying Command + R or Command + Option + R ; I still can't get into Recovery Mode with Ventura.
What's going on? Those should be the correct keyboard commands; no?
Thank You.
Thanks for clarifying! Apple silicon Macs, including your M1 iMac, no longer respond to Command-R or the usual key combinations used to summon macOS Recovery.
To start up in macOS Recovery on your Apple silicon Mac, follow these steps.

Correct. Only the physical power button on the back of the iMac will work to manually launch macOS Recovery.
On Mac notebooks/laptops, the built-in Touch ID sensor also happens to be the power button. That isn’t the case for Mac desktops (iMac, Mac mini, etc.)

You do not say what exact Mac is this...?
ref: Use macOS Recovery on a Mac with Apple silicon
Use macOS Recovery on an Intel-based Mac - Apple Support
The KEY word is Shut down
Doing a Restart will not work
It has to be totally Shutdown and pause for maybe 10 seconds then proceed as per pervious instruction
Got it. Saw Laptop users using the "touch ID" button; for restarts etc; but that doesn't work on the imac. Gotta hit the real button on the back.
It's an M1 iMac.
Ok; so when I press and hold my power button (touch ID) it simply takes me to the lock screen. What am I doing wrong. Should I use the actual physical power button on the back of the mac?
Macos Ventura won't enter Recovery Mode after holding down Command + R
