Photo by Brad Moon. With the latest round of super thin iMacs it introduced last year, Apple did away with optical drives in its all-in-one desktop PCs. Good riddance, so far as I'm concerned. In my experience, the optical drive is often the first thing to fail on Macs, at least around my house. That may have something to do with the amount of pet fur flying around here or the frequent renovations that have been known to kick up dust. It may well be a side-effect of kids — one of which was the subject of one of my first GeekDad posts, way back in May 2007 (in that case, it was paper shoved in an iMac's DVD slot ). Whatever the reason, I currently have four Macs with shot optical drives. That doesn't bother me. What has been driving me crazy is what happens when someone inserts a DVD into a broken drive which then refuses to eject it. In the old days, Apple provided a manual eject button you pushed in with a paperclip; however, Macs released in the past few years have been lacking this handy feature. If a disc becomes stuck in the drive for some reason, it can quickly become a cause of irritation and frustration. The Mac knows it's there. It will spin the drive up, trying to read the disc, sometimes repeatedly. If you leave it, the drive will sometimes be quiet for days, but you know it's there and one false move — accidentally clicking on that icon — starts the maddening revving cycle.http://www.detonacao.com.br/specialbrazil/fotos/daiwa-hyper-tanacom-500s-manual.xml

I was preparing to pass it on to the kids, but wanted to resolve the disc issue first, because I know they'd keep clicking on it and I was afraid we'd hit a state where it simply wouldn't spin down. I'm no prude when it comes to taking computers apart (I was even Apple Certified back in the day), but pulling out, or replacing the optical drive in an iMac is a pain in the butt and something I'd rather avoid. A MacBook, no problem: access to components is easy. The iMac, less so. I've swapped out the RAM on this machine and removed the protective glass cover to clean dust off the LCD display, but there's no way I want to remove the display altogether to get at the drive beneath it. Not if I can avoid it. If your Mac is still covered by AppleCare, I'd take it in and let a Genius look after it. If not and you don't mind the risk of possibly damaging the optical drive, you can proceed to more drastic measures. Oh, and I could find no trace of a software solution, like an AppleScript to make the iMac ignore the drive. If someone knows one that works, that would certainly save some effort and potential hardware damage. 4. Apple itself publishes a how-to on slot-loading iMac drive failures. This involves inserting a paperclip, then sliding it as the disc is ejected in an attempt to free it. Force eject a stuck DVD the Apple way. Image copyright Apple. This guy even put up a YouTube video showing the technique in action. Didn't work for me. Still no luck, even after several hours and repeated sessions of fighting with this thing. I was about to pack it in, take the iMac apart and physically remove the drive. But stubbornness and an unwillingness to admit defeat called for a little MacGyvering. The approach I settled on was to use a thin, metal putty knife with a patch of heavy duty adhesive two-sided tape.http://ptoyasenevo.ru/userfiles/daiwa-hyper-tanacom-500f-manual.xml I worked the knife into the drive, pressed it against the disc until it adhered, then tried ejecting the disc, simultaneously releasing the pressure on the putty knife and pulling it out. It took multiple attempts and by the end I was not being particularly gentle, but I was finally rewarded by not just the click of the eject mechanism engaging, but the sound of the disc popping out, still firmly attached to the putty knife by a blob of gooey tape. Was it a damaged disc, or is the drive shot. I have no idea and I don't plan to find out. The DVD itself is gummy and scratched (as might be expected give the removal efforts), but I did notice it was extremely flexible. It wasn't cracked, but it bent almost like cardboard, even a day later. I suspect the months it spent stuck in the drive heated it up and baked the plastic, but maybe that was the problem in the first place. I'll never know (unless one of the kids rips the duct tape off the drive slot and jams another in). So, nearly seven years between posts, two optical drive-related iMac issues are resolved.All rights reserved. Your California Privacy Rights.

Fortunately, there are some simple steps that can be taken to force eject a disc that’s stuck. To restart the computer enter “reboot” at the prompt without the quotation marks. Hold the button down until the desktop appears. This will trigger the system to eject your disc before OS X begins loading. After a short amount of time, the disc may eject itself. And if you’re looking to bring optical capabilities back to your workflow, check out OWC’s lineup of optical solutions. Notify me of new posts by email. The hold down trackpad and restart worked! These people who build these dvd players are the dumbest people EVER Then the OS wouldn’t even show that the external drive existed. There were lots of suggestions online of how to eject the DVD and I tried most of them — saving the most extreme for last, which involved prying open the housing with a flathead screwdriver. The laptop found the correct driver and automatically ejected the disc. I posted this solution to the Mac support forum, but they took it down, because “the post was not a technical question.” I tried everything from my Mac but ultimately it was a PC loaded with Windows that ejected my DVD. Of dozens of CDs Catalina will only accept half of them so far from my external optical drive. Catalina does not read all CD disks. I have a blank Blu-ray disc stuck in a Mini Stack external drive. Also no OS installed and a Mac install DVD was stuck in drive. Thank you for the info. That solves the problem 95 of the time for me.http://mascotascostabrava.com/images/casio-calculator-help-manual.pdf Get expert tips, special deals, reviews, and tech news. Macbooks are well known for being good quality hardware wrapped in a very stylish shell. Although during general usage there shouldn’t be any problem with a SuperDrive, if for whatever reason you insert a disc that cannot be read correctly, the drive might refuse to eject the disc, even if you push the eject button a few times or right click eject from the desktop. This can be especially troublesome trying to boot because the drive will get stuck in a loop trying to read the disc and it makes the MacBook unusable until you remove the disc, you might not reach the desktop at all. Unlike ROM drives fitted to Windows PC’s and laptops, the Macbook SuperDrive does not have a small pinhole where you can insert a paperclip to forcefully eject a stuck disc. Actually removing a stuck CD or DVD from a MacBook is pretty easy if you know how. So, before panicking about having to send your MacBook away to get the stuck disc out, try the steps below and it might just save you time and money. Standard Ways to Eject a Macbook SuperDrive 1. This first method is pretty straightforward. If you have a mouse or mighty mouse connected, reboot the MacBook and hold down the mouse button while booting. If you are lucky, this simple trick will work. 2. This is a follow on solution from above but applies if you don’t have a mouse connected. Eject the Disc via Software There are a few tools around that can try and forcefully eject the optical media from your drive. As it’s a bit safer to try ejecting the disc via software, we’d advise you to try these programs out before resorting to the other methods. 4. ForcEject Tool ForcEject is a tiny little tool of about 100KB that simply does what is intended and tries to force your Superdrive to eject its stuck optical disc. To use the ForcEject Tool, download and run it and an icon will appear on your menu bar. Click on the icon to popup a menu and either select to eject an internal or external SuperDrive. Hopefully this will pop out the stuck disc in your drive. 5. ReDiscMove ReDiscMove is a slightly old tool dating from 2007 but it’s even easier to try and eject your stuck disc because it consists of nothing more than a confirmation window. Click OK to try and force the disc to eject itself. The “Avbryt” button is Swedish for cancel and to abort the attempted eject, the author must have forgot to translate the button. 6. DiskEject DiskEject has two versions in the archive, one for Intel based systems and one for PowerPC based systems, so you need to make sure to run the correct version for your Mac. “About this Mac” from the Apple menu will tell you which is needed. It also has three different versions of the tool for you to use. The Standard version is what you should run first, and if that doesn’t work try the Advanced version. Note the Advanced tool might cause your SuperDrive to make a few strange noises while running, this is normal. There is no interface or popup, so if it didn’t work after a few seconds, the program likely wasn’t successful. The third version of DiskEject is a service that you can install and then call via a keyboard shortcut, a useful option if this is not a one off. Run DiskEject in the “DiskEject Service” folder and let it install the service.If none of these methods have worked so far, you will have to move onto more manual methods below. Eject the Disc Using Other Methods These are other methods or tricks to eject a disc from a Superdrive when it refuses to using software or the default button hold down methods, obviously be careful while attempting these. 8. This method is to tilt the MacBook to an angle of about 45 degrees so the disc would effectively drop out if it wasn’t stuck, and then press the eject key. Tilt Macbook sideways if the drive is on the side of your Macbook, forwards towards you if the drive is at the front. 9. While the tilting above often works, sometimes a more extreme version of that method is required to get the disc to eject. Instead of tilting the Macbook to 45 degrees, simply turn it completely upside down while simultaneously pressing the eject key. 10. Since the disc is being read in an infinite loop, you can try using a small piece of cardboard and insert it into the gap until it touches the disc to stop it from reading, then press the eject key few times. An example of a good material is battery pack cardboard or a thick birthday card or even a credit card may work as well. Good luck in removing the stuck disc in your MacBook. Hopefully one of these methods works which could save you time and possibly money. Then the OS wouldn’t even show that the external drive existed. There were lots of suggestions online of how to eject the DVD and I tried most of them — saving the most extreme for last, which involved prying open the housing with a flathead screwdriver. My solution was to unplug the drive from the Mac and plug it in to a Windows 7 laptop. The laptop found the correct driver and automatically ejected the disc. I posted this solution to the Mac It worked perfectly. Do not type:”drutil tray eject”, use: drutil eject I tried drutil tray eject, as suggested by another site, many times but has never worked. Many thanks, HAL9000 Then, after I nearly gave up, I inserted two butter knives in the drive and was able to sandwich the disc in between and yank it out. If you had asked me before if I’d ever insert two butter knives into a computer I paid so much for, I would have told you never. Took turning it upside down, but it popped right out! Thanks! Any way to pull out the stuck disk? Thank you! I was indeed stumped when I couldn’t resort to the pinhole, and the reboot didn’t do the job either. Saved me a trip to the Apple store. Thank you very much! Once it got into the loop, nothing would work and Disk Utility kept saying the DVD was in use so would not eject. The Paper trick worked. I pushed a sticky note into the slot, this made the DVD stop turning. I was then able to use the eject button. Number one worked right off the bat.I have tried many options before but nothing. So with A1181 Nr 2 works fine.And I couldn’t use an USB to reinstall it because damn DVD disc still was in and it went directly there.David Good stuff! Thank you Thanks for the advise But this is cheaper than taking the macbook pro to a service centre. Now I’m planning to get an external dvd drive. The eject button had given up (wouldn’t do anything when I pressed it) and in fact, the computer didn’t even recognize that there was any disc in there, let alone two. What finally worked was a birthday card inserted so that the one disc that was showing just a wee bit was between the two parts of the card, making a disc sandwich between two cardstock pieces of bread. No damage to the discs! Phew! Thanks for the tip:) So, I held it, opening facing downward, pressed Eject from file menu and it popped right out. Thanks for your suggestion to TILT it! Number 10 worked for me Kat Not only did one CD come out but two!!! DUH. But then, I’m 80 years old Now trying to get the MBP to boot up (it’s been spinning on the grey screen with the Apple logo, after accepting the PGP password). Any help? It was stuck under my thin computer and the fan it sits on. I feel like such a duffus.It was the clearest one out there and you could say, even though my stuck CD was under the computer not in it, that indeed it solved my problem so Thank You! My disc wasn’t recognisable by my mac but it the size was correct. My computer kept on making loud sounds when the disc was inside. And now, it finally came out. Thanks again!:) Wont be putting this sized disk in the machine again ! Up side down worked. I could hear it trying to eject, but it would never come out. As soon as I turned it over and ejected, it popped right out. Thank you so much! Thanks so much. Best website assistance I’ve had in a LONG time. Love YOU. Thank you! Carefully slid card stock corner with tape in drive so that it was on top of the disc and pushed the eject key. Tape helps to “catch” and lift the disc enough so that it can pop out of drive. A paper pad backing thin cardboard, and a battery package backing thin cardboard, one inside top part of drive slot, the other inside bottom part of drive slot — pressed EJECT button and slid sharp flat knife in between the cardboards inside the slot, then quickly slid knife back out while still holding button (I think, happened so quick that it’s hard to remember when I pressed Eject and stopped). Yay! Thanks so much for this thread, because of you and the collaborative effort of comments I got my installation CD back:) The DVD label was too thick for the SuperDrive and caused the disc to stick! So relieved! Thank you! Muchas gracias con todos! Inspired by (3), I just inserted credit card into the slot and moved it for a while inside. Eject button worked properly after I’ve done so. So grateful! Might have saved a timewasting trip to the Mac Shop. Simon Mad Respect. I got mine out by pressing the F12 key while booting. (this was before I read your tips) You have to stick it pretty deep though. Saved my day You guys pwn n00bz. After that, the disc automatically ejected and the OS booted normally. Thanks for saving me a trip to the repair shop Raymond! I inserted it into the slot and squeezed the upper and lower surfaces together by hand when it was most of the way in, grabbing the mini disc from above and below and pinching it between the two surfaces. After about three quick tries I pulled the CD right out. Thanks again for your help!:D Thank you so much, prob saved me hundreds in unneeded repairs! What the guy did is he took two business cards (made of cardboard, not plastic) and put one on the upper brim of the cd slot and one on the lower. He then just took a mechanical pencil ( i’m sure almost anything with a cone tip works here) and inserted it between the two cards and sort of pried it open if you can visualize what i’m saying. He did it about twice (gently) and bam, cd was out. I knew for me it was the same issue because I once dropped my MBP and you can see the DVD section is “bowed down” just like you said. PRAISE GOD! (AND YOUR SUGGESTION!) I’ve been at this driving myself nuts for hours. Good thing I scrolled down to read enough comments to reach yours, because the other methods do NOT work for those of us with a metal casing that is bent down over the drive. Thanks for saving me a trip to Apple store!:D So my comment might not be necessary, but a “thank you” is never unwelcome. Thank you! This helps the mac users a lot. I tried everything and finally that worked. I was so close to throwing it out the window and having an even bigger problem.The tilting one work a charm for me. Thanks! I thought I’d have to take to a shop and actually have to pay to get the problem fixed. Thank you so much Mine wouldn’t boot up at all. I used an index card and followed your instructions. CD came out and it booted right up after that! Thanks for the tip! I tried various ways including all the ones in the “help” section on my macbook. Restarting the computer while holding down the eject button finally got mine to come out! Many thanks! jon Amazing! Thanks!!!! Disc stuck but my MBP booted fine, no issue there.The master had a label printed with a printer (very thick) i suspect that as culprit. No genius bar visit for me!!! THAT worked, after many other unsuccessful attempts. Thanks for the tip! Thank you for your recommendations. They were really helpful. It’s in Utilities folder in Applications. THAT was EASY I looked all over the help systems and discussions and nothing worked. By holding the track bar down and simultaneously putting an envelope in the hard drive to stop the disk from spinning it ejected ending a 6 hour ordeal. We had the exact problem that you described which was that it kept trying to boot from the CD. Now we get to fix a corrupt kernel, but at least we have a fighting chance. So thank you. Very practical advice. Be blessed thanks again for your kindness in sharing your knowledge with me a perfect stranger. Also hitting the keyboard right over the SuperDrive then hitting the “Eject” key worked nicely. So, after reading through a few forums I shut down my computer, waited a few seconds and turned it back on. As soon as I hit the power button I held down the track pad key but my macbook started making horrible noises so I let go and decided to press the eject key. Neither worked BUT I heard the CD spin up and realized my computer could read it. I hope this helps someone who had the same issue. But will you write about this one more? I also combined that trick with the 45degree angle thing.I turned off the macbook, then held down the eject button and turned the power back on. I finally got the damn disk out! WOOOHOOO! It was stopping the CD from going in or going out.I had a music CD that wouldn’t eject. Keyboard perpendicular to the table. Pressed the eject button. OUT IT POPPED! I grabbed immediately so it wouldn’t hop back in. Thank you! What a lifesaver!! Just held down the trackpad on the new aluminium mb The way i did was shut down the macbook.I have an Intel based Macbook. Usually if I take a q-tip moistened with a little running alcohol and run it along the opening it will help. Also, I generally do have to tip my laptop on its side to let gravity do its job. It tried to eject after about 45 seconds, but was sucked back in. Once OS X was starting to load, I tried just hitting the eject button (with laptop on its side) and the stupid thing finally spit out. Thanks so much for this post! I rebooted and held down on the touch pad and it finally got me to my desktop and stopped the DVD from spinning, so I went to iTunes to “burn a disc” and it told me to insert a blank one and spit out the stuck DVD!! Oh yeah, my computer was on for at least 5-10min. Kinda took a while!! HOPE THIS HELPS MY FELLOW MACBOOK USERS!! I was also in same problem that my cd was stuck in my mac book. Finally it came out. Friends it is worth to read all. I was getting very anxious that the DVD wasn’t going to come out. Thank you!!! I am a chemist in training and decided to use Proactiv’s face toner since I didn’t have any rubbing alcohol. However, the major ingredient (some sort of long chain alcohol) along with the polymers in solution caused a film on the disk and enabled my computer to read the disk. I just stuck a piece of cardboard in the disk drive and waited for the disk to stop rotating and then repeatedly pressed the ejection button on the keyboard. Finally a box appeared on my screen that asked which task I want to perform and I selected to eject. It worked like magic! Also, my problem was more complicated as my Keyboard and Trackpad are non-functional. Restarting with the mouse button worked for me. Then another DVD got stuck and I didn’t want to restart while I was in middle of a lenghty download so I think I found a new way: Like before, I couldn’t get any apps to recognize the disk inside. Tried DVD Player, FrontRow etc. And eject button didn’t work. I selected the dvd drive on the right hand panel and the Utility showed an eject button on the top panel. And that worked! Whew! Looking at the front of my MacBook Pro I saw that the upper part of the case was a little bent downwards which prevented the DVD from ejecting. Problem is that the case has to be repaired (replaced?), at least I don’t need to walk around with a DVD in the slot. All I had to do was open the Toast application add a file to burn and click burn, it will then say something along the lines of “This disc cannot be burnt please insert a new disc” and it will then eject the stuck CD. I opened iTunes and chose some songs to burn to a CD knowing I had a DVD stuck it would ask me to eject. I still had a problem but, I went with another persons advice and stuck a card in the slot so the disk would not turn thus not being read. After a few times of doing this and also holding down the eject key another window popped up in iTunes asked if I wanted to eject disc. I clicked yes and Walla disc was ejected. What a nightmare this has been.Thanks! Philipp I forgot to eject the disc after finishing some software installing that required a restart. It would only read from the disc. Clicking down on the track pad during boot worked for me. COOL!!! You saved me a ton of headache. Bless you! This info really helped thank you so much. Here’s another. Open a terminal window and use Disk Recorder Util: drutil tray eject I was also pressing N so I’m not sure which did the trick, but it’s out!! Eventually got it out by turning on computer, tilting it and pressing eject. Bingo it worked. Thank you for saving my weekend. I just bought my macbook a few days ago and one of my cd’s got stuck. Thanks for the tips. I tried all of your methods several times, then after i put a thick card in and tilted it and pushed eject, took out the card-out popped the CD- Many thanks. All I had to do was open the Toast application add a file to burn and click burn, it will then say something along the lines of “This disc cannot be burnt please insert a new disc” and it will then eject the stuck CD! If you’ve tried all the usual methods of ejecting a CD or DVD disc from your computer’s optical drive, there are some manual methods you can try. First, quit all applications that are using files on the disc. If your drive has an emergency eject hole, put the computer to sleep and insert a large, straightened paper clip in the small emergency eject hole of the drive (the location varies, depending on the drive). Push firmly until the disc ejects. Use Open Firmware to eject the disc if all other methods fail (this may not work on all computers). To use this method, you have to start up and briefly use the computer using Open Firmware, not the standard Mac OS X desktop. To eject a disc using Open Firmware. Restart the computer. When you hear the startup sound, press and hold the Command-Option-O-F keys. (The Command key has an Apple on it.). Release the keys when you see a white screen that says “Welcome to Open Firmware.”. At the prompt, type: The disc drive should eject the disc, and “ok” appears on the screen when the action is complete. Type: Your computer starts up normally and you see the familiar Mac OS X desktop. My leopard CD was stuck inside and all it did was install the software upgrade. I cannot boot.

Having a disk jammed in your Mac is really frustrating, but you can usually get it out by using a few different tricks. The methods outlined below are for when a disc is truly stuck in the Mac. This tip was sent in by an ex-Apple genius: Now what?? Be careful not to damage the disk or your drive though! Enter your email address below: I never had this problem before. Two days ago I put in a OLD DVD (Mastered by me) in order to copy it for a friend. When I tried to Eject it, using all the suggestions mentioned here, all failed. I also thought to open the MacBook and unmount the Drive. But before moving in this direction I’m asking if, once unmounted the Drive, there i any possibility to manually remove the disc from the unit. Many thanks in advance. Best regards Lots of crunchy, jamming noises but nothing would eject. I finally turned the entire laptop upside down and hit eject. It worked! Cd came out perfectly, panick gone! Do you think I could have hurt my drive. Or it must be a coincidence. It was a very thin card and didn’t put much pressure, but I’m worried I could have stuck it too deep inside. Mac people, please let me know the changes I broke my computer! Thanks so much! That is the dumbest shut I’ve ever seen. More like MacBook Ghetto I tried everything and that did the trick. Thank you!!!!!:) So keep a good grip on that. The card is stuck in there now, but everything runs fine. Screw it. Pressed the power button again to start up while holding down the trackpad button and the disc popped out. Such a relief and thanks for the tip. Worked like a charm. Pressed the power button again to start up while holding down the trackpad button and the disc popped out. Worked like a charm. Thanks much! Eventually i broke down and shook the mac on it’s side while holding the eject key. Worked! what a laugh. Thanks so much! Thanks a million for the info, you save my life! He would have killed me!! The CD came out, thank you for the info Gently inserted it into the drive.Mine’s been stuck for months, and that worked immediately!!!!:) Tried everything mentioned here, didn’t work. I didn’t want to cut the rubber off, and I managed to eject the CD as follows: From there on, repeat 5 a few times until you can grab it by the fingers. No wonder that engine cannot eject a CD!!
