How do you eject a disc on a Mac computer if the icon does not show up in the Finder or on the screen?

Although I use PC's, not MACs, there should still be a small hole in the CD drive itself.
You should probably power down the computer before attempting this.
GENTLY insert a straightened paper clip into the small hole in the front of the drive. This should release the drive latch, and the drive should be able to be opened manually to remove the disk.
These manual release holes are very handy for removing CD's that were left in a drive when a computer dies and will no longer power up.

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.

My 120GB PS3 has a disc stuck in it and when I push the eject button it just spins around for about eight seconds. Help?
Hold Eject button down for 6 seconds (while PS3 is on): force disc to eject. I was able to get a disc out by turning off the PS3 by unplugging it and then try holding down the eject button for 6 seconds when turned on and plugged in.
