if you are using a bluetooth keyboard such as the apple Magic Keyboard, it will sometimes not react quickly enough to "see" that you are trying to boot into safe mode.


if you are using a Magic Keyboard with rechargeable batteries, you should connect it to the Mac with it's charging cable.


if the keyboard doesn't use a charging cable, you can beg or borrow an USB keyboard from someone with which you can use to enter safe mode. a windows keyboard will work in a pinch.
