I just stuck a disc in my iMac then realised there was already a disc in there however my iMac wasn't showing a disc already present in the Mac.
What do i do?? You can here it trying to eject it, but there's two discs in one slot!!!!!!
Please any help would be amazing right now!!!!
Many Thanks!!!!!!

If PJB's suggestion does not work, then you will have no alternative but to take your comp to your local AASP or Apple Store. Whichever one is the closest.

  • X2 Discs stuck in slot

    Hello - It would appear that my youngest daughter has managed to jam two discs in the drive slot. The discs aren't ejecting when the eject button is pressed.
    I've also tried restarting with the mouse button pressed, only for a nasty grinding/crunching noise coming from the drive.
    Apart from getting a pair of tweezers onto the unit and risking buggering-up one of the discs has anyone got any more suggestions.
    Please!

    Oh dear!
    The slot loading drives Apple use (like most others in fact) are quite close tolerance, so it take a bit of effort to get two disks in at the same time. Sadly, too much effort for the drive to be able to exert to get them out again, because unless both disks are unusually thin in effect they will be pretty firmly stuck - hence the uncomfortable noises when trying to eject.
    Indeed it's possible the drive itself may have been damaged - potentially not just by the insertion of two disks at the same time, but also by the attempt to eject them.
    I don't think you have any real chance of getting them out with tweezers or anything of that sort - at least not without damaging one or both of the disks. It's possible the drive didn't quite swallow them both up, in which case one disk may be jamming against the inside of the casing, slight above or below the center of the slot, and if so a bit of gentle probing with a stiff card or carefully inserted tweezer might do the trick, but more than likely the system will have to be opened and the disks manually removed from the drive.
    If you've previously opened the system you'll likely find removal that way pretty easy. If you haven't had the system open before, it might be time to practice a bit of putty-knife magic!

  • Mini Disc stuck in CD player & printing question

    I have a mini disc stuck in the cd player. I've pushed eject multiple times, but I don't think that it reads that it is in there. Is there any other way to get it out?
    Also, how do you "print selection" like on PCs?

    Mini DVDs _are not compatible_ with slot-loading optical drives like the one in the MPB. Some users have reported success in extracting mini DVDs from the optical drive by inserting a business card with double-stick tape at the end, then pressing the eject key, and carefully pulling the disc out. Else, you may need to visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for repairs. These will not be covered under warranty.
    Print selection is application-dependent. Some apps (e.g. Microsoft Word) support that feature (there's an option in the print dialog box), others do not.
    You can take a screenshot of part of the screen (Command-Shift-4) and print that.

  • Horrible mistake-mini cd stuck in slot drive

    Unfortunately I was unaware that mini discs are NOT to be loaded into slot drives prior to doing this. Now it is stuck and won't eject. Is there anything I can do? Please help!

    Hold it with the slot facing down. Gently shake the computer to get the disc into the slot. You can use a 3x5 card (or other heavy stock) to help guide it. When you can see it, grasp it with needle nose pliers or tweezers.

  • Disc stuck in DVD drive

    Hi
    I have a disc stuck in my drive. When I eject its stats to come out, sounds like it gets wedged, then goes back in again. Is this as serious as I fear and is there an easy way to get the disc out without resorting to striping out the drive.
    Many Thanks

  • Disc stuck in optical drive.

    My problem is pretty lame. A friend of mine gave me this mini-cd-thingy asking me to check the content of it on my macbook, but once I inserted it I realized that it probably is too small to even be noticed by my optical drive, and so it was, and so it's stuck inside there now.
    How on earth am I going to get it out? I tried ejecting, poking and shaking it out, but nothing works. Gezez, how stupid.

    This is why your user manual says not to insert any nonstandard-sized discs into the drive.
    You might have some success by inserting a thin, flexible plastic card or postcard-weight piece of paper into the drive slot and using it to try to guide the disc to the slot while someone else holds the machine up on edge for you. If not, then having a technician remove the drive, take the cover off it and extract the disc is going to be all you can do. Your warranty won't cover that, nor any damage you or the disc may have done to the drive by then.
    Note: It's probably not a good idea to use the machine while the disc remains inside, since starting up, waking, and perhaps other actions cause the drive to spin up and move mechanical parts around. If the disc gets wedged in the wrong place and that happens, you could have worse problems.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.
    I................I
    I................I
    I....I__I....I

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

    Hi. Ejecting a stuck disk in my MacBook has been a bane for me often, and more recently last night. You are probably aware of the many ways to eject a disk, but I'll list them here as well. In desperation I managed to discover another method this morning...!
    These methods are listed in order of first use, all the way up to deperate measures:
    1. press the eject button on the keyboard
    2. drag the disk to the trash
    3. if it is a movie I am playing, then I can press eject on the DVD control. But you must have stopped the play of the DVD.
    4. click on the disk icon on the desktop and then go to File, select eject disk
    5. click on the disk icon and then press the Apple key and "E"
    6. go to Disk Utility, click on the disk you want to eject, and eject it
    7. reboot MacBook and before the grey screen appears make sure you are holding down the Trackpad Button. This method can be useful for disks not mounted; so can point 8.
    8. Resetting the PRAM. Shutdown, and before startup, press the following buttons: P, R, Option, Apple key.
    9. if you are technically minded you can open Terminal and type in the following: "hdiutil eject -force /dev/disk1" Replace the word "disk1" with the name of the offending disk
    I do each of the above, hoping that one of them will work. However, on this occasion none of them worked. This last method is unorthodox, but hey, it worked!
    10. Carefully and slowly tilt the MacBook till the disk drive is pointing down, so that gravity may assist a disk to leave. Then click one on the many eject methods.
    It worked for me!
    Hope one of the above works for you.
    PS.
    I should probably still get Apple to have a look at my MacBook though...

    Hello,
    If all else fails,like holding mouse buttn down on bootup...
    Other than that, you can slide the door of the optical downwards with your fingers, then use a straightened out paper clip to push into that tiny hole to eject the tray.

  • 2 DISCS STUCK IN MY MACBOOK DVD DRIVE, PLEASE HEELLLPPPP !!!

    I hope someone can help me, I had a DVD in my MacBook already, and my little girl stuck another one in there thinking it was empty, and now there are 2 discs stuck in there and my MacBook won't eject or anything. Does anyone know what I can do ?
    Any ideas, please help me, I had this thing fully customized and it cost me an arm and a leg so now Im totally heartbroken.
    HELP !!
    Thank you in advance to anyone who replies.

    You will have to take the computer to an Authorised Apple Repair Center so that they can remove the 2 discs, it will require your machine being taken apart and could cost quite a bit in labour hours.

  • Disc stuck - any ideas, please!!

    I have a DVD disc stuck in my iMacG5- it tries to eject but doesn't then acts as if i have just inserted it. Is there a way I can tell the machine to open the drive and leave it open so I can get in there with tweezers!!??

    Try placing the computer face down on a soft towel, then press the eject button on the keyboard. This usually works.
