BD Burner tray won't eject

I have a new quad and bought the LG GGW-H20L BD burner and installed it. The tray will not clear the computer on ejection. I figured out that I could pop off the drives face plate and thought I was golden, but the drive still doesn't clear the computers door. It looks like it may on the left side but there is a tab on the right that is a bit higher and it won't clear that. Anyone else experience this?
Before I took off the faceplate I was trying to take out the whole optical door assembly in the computer. There is one screw on the closet side to the you when looking in but I couldn't find what was holding it on the other side. I took out the plate in back that covers the cabling and used a mirror to look... I still don't see a screw or anything holding it in.
Help! I wanna burn some BD data discs.

I looked up that drive on NewEgg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136155
Seems like a very fine drive, but when I went to the manufacturers site I couldn't find it. Perhaps you'll be able to get it to fit. Perhaps having it done at an apple store would be a good idea. I just hope that it's dimensions will in fact line up with those of the standard Apple drive. Maybe a call to NewEgg will get you some info.
Here's the manufacturers site: http://www.lge.com/us/index.jsp
Drivers? You made not need any. But if you do they should have come on a disk with the drive or perhaps you can download them from the site above. Good luck.

How do you remove a cd from the macbook air superdrive when it won't eject. all is get is the option to burn a cd when i click eject

Just bought a mini and a dvd superdrive. was uploading pictures and one cd won't eject when I click on the eject icon. It will display that I can burn one if I insert a cd, but won't eject the current cd. How do you override the pop up or manually eject the cd from the superdrive without taking it to a store or asking for a replacement?

You can also eject a disc by restarting your computer and holding down the primary mouse button while the computer is starting up until the disc is ejected.

My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down"

My iMac will not recognize a blank DVD-R that I am trying to burn. It also won't eject unless I "shut down" and restart while holding down the mouse button. Anyone have any remedies?

I ran into a similar (identical?) problem. I inserted a DVD-R and my imac would not recognize it. The only way to eject was to do a restart. I tried some of the SMC reset stuff. That didn't work. I came across another thread on macrumors (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=336501)
that solved my problem.
I have an external Western Digital Passport drive that I use for timecapsule. It turns out
there are two files that WD adds to the /Library/LaunchDaemons that interferes with the
SuperDrive. I removed the WD files from the LaunchDaemons directory and everything works fine
now. Again, refer to the macrumors thread for more details.
The files I removed from the LaunchDaemons directory were:
com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist
com.wdc.WDSmartWareServer.plist
..yes I had installed the WD backup software to see if I liked it....I did not, but didn't realize this files would cause a conflict with the SuperDrive.

HT1379 I have a DVD that won't eject in my iMac intel computer..any suggestions

I put a DVD in mi imac to burn, but now it won't eject, tried a variety of things,but no luck..any ideas?

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
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 Disc 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.
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.

DVD Drive won't eject!!!

I was transferring some files from a dvd I had burned and now it won't eject the disc. When I press the eject button, it ejects, but before any of the disc comes out, it automatically reloads the disc. I've tried restarting the computer, even holding down the eject button when the computer boots up. But in the end, it's the same result. I'M nearly desperate to take it in to be worked on. what should I do????????

This is quite interesting, bear with me.
Apple reseller removed the dust guard because he suspected that was fouling the disc. However he returned the laptop to me minus the guard so there was a great big hole in the side of the case. I complained to Apple and they agreed it should not have been removed without my say so. Apple do not replace this part as its part of the lower case, unless you (me) pays for this repair, (which I find strange as the part was easily removed),
Long story short the lower case is being changed free of charge to enable the dust guard to be fitted.

CD tray will not eject CD

I have a user who's CD tray will not eject a CD unless she relaunches the Finder. then it works until next CD is inserted. Won't eject until Finder is relaunched!
this is a G4 desktop with 10.4.6 loaded. the latest Quicktime was loaded and this is when problem started.
she's tried dragging the icon to trash, the eject button on keyboard, and eject under File menu. Nothing works until Finder is relaunched.
Any ideas?

I had this same problem with my PowerBook. Disk Utility would eject the disk, but nothing else. As I plodded through the normal steps (DiskWarrior, TechTool, etc) I found that disks ejected normally when I booted from my external drive that had Panther on it. This was good news because it eliminated the hardware possibility. So the hunt shifted to find what was different between the two setups. I finally remembered a utility called OnyX that lets you change lots of things like menus, etc. Very handy, and one of the things it has is a checkbox that says "Show Eject Item in File Menu". I figured I would never use that when I could just push a button, so I unchecked it. Surprise! It turns out that unchecking that box did away with Cmd-E, disabled the eject button and also the dragging to trash option. I re-checked it and all is well. So, boot from another drive or a CD or something before you buy a new drive and look for software problems. Good luck!

Disc won't show, won't eject

I put a DVD in my iMac. It doesn't show up on the desktop and I can't get it out of the computer. I followed Apple's "My disc won't eject" advice (going into "Open Firmware") and that didn't work. Someone suggested holding down the mouse while restarting but that didn't work. I tried "burn disc" in iTunes thinking it would eject the DVD in preparation for receiving a blank CD but I got the message "Disc burner or software not found". In the System Profiler I get "No burning device was found". What do I do next??? Is there a paperclip spot?
iMac 1.8 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Did you try to shut the computer clear OFF.
Wait a couple of minutes and then power back up,
It should eject and if not the farthest upper right corner key on your keyboard is the eject key, try it. Don

HP Envy 15 Optical Drive Won't Eject Disc

I tried to burn a DVD and loaded a DVD-R into the optical drive. Burned the disc, now the disc won't eject. I try restarting the computer and going through Computer to eject, and nothing. It sounds like it tries to eject, fails, takes back in the disc and runs it. This is definitely a problem, considering I'm a filmmaker and need to produce this DVD soon.
Please tell me I don't have to wait for an HP tech to take my computer for a week and a half to fix my brand freaking new notebook that I dished out over a thousand dollars for. This kind of thing is infuriating. And it seems others share this problem. So I wonder why it wasn't fixed.
Thank you in advance for all the help.

Burned disk will not eject. Any ideas ?

I have burned photos onto disks many time before with no problem.
This time, the burned disk will not eject.
Any suggestions ? Thank you.

Launch the Terminal applicaiton and enter the following: drutil tray eject 0 followed by the Enter key.
Or reboot your Mac with the right button on the mouse held down during the boot. That will eject the disk.

Faulty disc - won't mount, won't eject

After my first (and failed) attempt to use the OS disc burning I find I have a faulty DVD in my drive. It won’t mount, it won’t eject. Toast “knows’ the drive is in use but nothing else seems to and I can’t get the b*** disc out. Short of taking it in to be fixed, what can I do?
3-week old MacBook Pro. OS 10.5.8.
Amongst the various things I have tried is booting the machine with ‘C’ held down. That didn’t work either.

IPod stops syncing after a while, won't eject and then crashes iTunes

Whenever I try to update my iPod Classic 80GB, after 1000 songs or so the iPod stops syncing (gets stuck on a song). Then the iPod won't eject, even when dragged into trash.
Then, when trying to eject iPod or quit iTunes, iTunes crashes and has to be force quitted with iPod cable removed.
When I check my iPod it says there is no music/photos etc on it.
I have reinstalled the latest iTunes and restored my iPod with the latest version, my OS software is all up to date too.

Actually at 1200ish songs the iPod hard drive starts making some severe clicking/clanking noises. I'm guessing it means the hard drive is screwed since it's the same symptoms as my last iPod
Why does this happen? Both my iPods were about 2 years old when the hdd's started clicking, surely hdd's last for more than two years?

External Hard drive won't eject.

hi, im new to the boards. just having an issue with my new external hard drive. everytime i use it or i use my cf card reader which is firewire it won't eject either. i've read there are special commands to go in and see what applications are running and i've tried using disk utility to eject the harddrive. nothing seems to work. ive got all my photos from jobs on this harddrive and im worried that by pulling the cord or switching off the device is eventually going to render all my data corrupt or potentially erase it all. if you know step by step instructions to putting commands in to eject these things it would be of great help. im on 10.3.9 ibook g4.
the error is basically telling me the drive is still in use and can nnot eject. not sure why because there are no other apps running?

Well i think i figured out what was causing the issue. i had a jpeg in the trash. i tried to delete it but it states an error message that the jpeg is being used in another application. so i pulled it out of the trash then plugged my external harddrive back in and the tested it to see if it would eject properly and it did! so now i just need to figure out how to delete that jpeg? so the fact that this jpeg is somehow tied up in an application was causing my card reader and external harddrive to not eject properly? strange. thanks for the tip though. appreciate your input.

Burned CD won't play in car player

I know similar questions to this have been asked, but I have not found a solution that works for me yet. I am burning a CD-R with iTunes, but it will not play in my car player. I have tried burning at different speeds. I have tried 3 different media types (Verbatim, Memorex, generic). None of them worked. I checked my iTunes settings to make sure I am burning an audio CD, and not an MP3 or data CD. I've probably burned 15 CDs to no avail.
I am burning them on a Sony drive. The CDs play fine in my computer. Just not in my car.
My car player is an older player (1996 factory Delco), but it has no problems playing normal CDs. I get an "E20" error message if that makes any difference.
Is it just a matter of trying more media types? Anybody have a media type that they got to work in an older Delco CD player? Any other suggestions? Thanks.

I solved my problem. I can't guarantee this will work for anybody else having this same issue, but it worked for me. Since my player is 10 years old, I thought maybe the problem was the newer size of CD-Rs. So I bought some of the older, smaller size CD-Rs (650 MB versus the newer 700 MB). Now I can't be sure that was the total reason it worked, but it now works with these new CD-Rs. They are also Verbatim brand, which I also tried unsuccesfully with the 700 MB size. These Verbatims are not only 650 MB, but also a light blue tint on the bottom, which may also have made a difference. I don't know. I couldn't find any of these older, smaller CD-Rs at any local store. I found them on Amazon and ordered them there. These are the ones I ordered if you are interested.

Again, I can't guarantee these will work for you. There are probably many reasons why iTunes burned CDs won't work in some players.
