How do you eject a disk Mac OX?
To eject a CD you can press the Eject button (top right corner of the keyboard), or right click on the CDs icon and select Eject from the menu, or drag the CDs icon into the Trash icon on the dock, or open a Finder window and click on the eject symbol next to the CDs listed in the left hand pane, or open iTunes and click on the eject symbol next to the CDs name.
Why won't my mac let the disk in?
This is most likely because there is already a disk stuck in the drive. If hitting the eject key doesn't work, go into disk utility and eject the disk from there, or in Terminal type "drutil tray eject" and hit return. There are many ways to try here (http://guides.macrumors.com/Force_Eject_a_Stuck_CD_or_DVD) but if none of them work on ejecting a stuck disk, bring it in to the local Apple Store.

How do you remove a disk from a mini Mac with no icon on the desk top?
The usual options to solve such issues include: * Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared. * If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar. * Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder * Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button. * Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism. * Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray. * Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. ) * If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.
I have Mac. I can't get the CD-rom drawer to open. Pushing the eject button doesn't work. How can I get the drawer to open?
The drive is probably being used by something and won't release it to eject the disk. Close all the applications and try again. If you only have the Finder open, then it might be trying to read a file or is busy with the disk, for example indexing it in order to find files easier. You might have to log out or relaunch the Finder. Try to eject after each step. If it still won't eject, restart and hold the mouse button down and eject button down during the startup. It should eject automatically. As a next resort, restart your computer in 'Safe' mode by restarting...wait for the startup sound...quickly hold down the SHIFT key and hold down the mouse button. After the startup finishes, if the disk did not eject automatically, try to eject the disk normally. If nothing works, shut down the Mac. Try to eject manually... With the Mac turned off... There should be a small hole somewhere by the drawer - probably next to the button. Straighten out a paper clip and push it into the hole to release the drawer. Don't force it. If the disk has jammed in the drive, you can ruin the drive by forcing it open. If it won't eject with a gentle but steady push, you will have to take out the drive and carefully open it up and get the disk out. If you are not capable of that, then take it in to the service center. There is a free application that adds an eject button to the top menu of OSX. It may open the drive drawer for you. Ejector will an iPod, a CD, a DVD, a USB Key and a .dmg. You can then safely disconnect them from your mac. To get Ejector: http://www.jeb.com.fr/en/ejector.shtml To get Ejector to start automatically at every login: * Go to the Apple menu, then System Preferences, then Accounts, then select Startup items, and drag Ejector to the list.

If your CD eject button does not work, you can either buy a new drive, or go to my computer and right click on your CD drive, and choose eject.
I have had disc left in my mac for about a month now Recently I tried to eject it and it not only couldn't eject it it couldn't find the disk I even looked in the disk utility What do I do?
* First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu. * If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X. * Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared. * If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar. * Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder * Open Disk Utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button. * Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism. * Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray. * Restart the computer while holding down Command-Option-O-F, to enter the Open Firmware prompt. Type "eject cd" without the quotes, and press return. The disk ought to eject. To start into OS X, type "mac-boot" without the quotes. Press return, and the computer will continue with the startup. (This will not work on an Intel Mac. There is no Open Firmware on Intel Macs. ) * If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button. if none of the above works go to ur apple customer care center .... make sure u do this inside the warranty period
