How to eject dvd when software will not?
After having my mac book pro's hard drive replace and added 4 more gigs of ram I had to load saved software that I managed to pull off the drive before it completely died. Now I tried to add MS Office from my mac mini. When I click on say, MS Word it brings up a statement that the installer did not install correctly. So I dug up my disk of MS Office 2011. I pur ir inro the Mac book pro drive and it never comes up on the desktop. I even trided my external dvd drive that I used on my mac mini. No go! I put the disk into the mac book pro and now can not get it out. The mac doesn't see it either. I will see if there is a method to enable seeing the disk that would be a big battle to win. Also I am using OS 10.9 or Maverick. Help me...
You folks maybe correct in thinking OS 10.9 that I am using may be the culprit. However, I have posted here rather then the OS Mavrick group (which I did not know of tnx) because I had read several folks discussing (but wouldn't ya know it I forgot the tech term and I am familiar with it) a software that binds the machinacal device such as the dvd drive to talk to the other software, etc. Oh, and when I insert Microsoft's office 2011 for Mac, the drive accellerates and slows down. The drive never comes to the desk-top. The drive according to other comments in different forums have said the the firmware needs to be current. Then again, I would think that with the various system upgrades each system alteration / change would have the (hopefully, ha) necessary firmware to interface with devices / software and system, right? Anyway, for all the reasons I only took my concerns here. By the way I think I had started up the Mac Book Pro while holding down the track pad. I may hit the track-pad and see, and we'll see if that allows me to bring up the software to install and / or eject the MS office 2011, etc. Tnx for all your comments, I certainly appreciate it.

How do I eject a dvd disk that will not eject after I have highlighted it and clicked the eject disk in finder file menu?
Complements of Kappy:
Try:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes. -
I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R but will not play on my MacBook Pro. I have already recorded multiple DVDs. How can I get it to play on my Mac?
"I recorded VCR tape onto DVD-R"
How? Using what equipment/software?
"The DVD plays on the device on which it was recorded."
Just a guess: You're using a VCR-DVD combo recorder. DVDs produced in this way will play on the device that made them, but won't play on anything else until they're "finalized." In fact, Macs will recognize unfinalized DVDs as blank discs until the discs are finalized. Check the manual that came with the recording device for instructions. -
I have a shuffle. When I plug it into Itunes, it tells me that it has not been ejected properly, and it will not recognize the Ipod. I have turned off the computer, and tried this with another shuffle with the exact same results. Any ideas?
Do you remeber the exact (or close to it) wording of the error message?
Try manually placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then try to restore
Next try DFU mode.

I am trying to burn a dvd and it will not allow me to do this because it states I do not have enough space for encoding. how do i free up space and from where?
iDVD can only use your startup hard disk for the "scratch space" it needs for calculations during the encoding process. 25 GB is a good average requirement, but a large project (3 or 4 hours of content) might require more.
To free up space, you will have to move items to an external hard drive and/or delete items you no longer want.
Please note that iDVD can't use and external hard drive for this "scratch space". -

Then reinstall OS X. See if that helps:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
