Can not get disc out of drive

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my 2.66 GHz i7 MBP and I put a disk in the drive and it never showed up on the desktop and I am unable to eject it. I tried rebooting though it still does not show up and when I hit the eject button nothing happens.
What can I do?
Thanks!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
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.

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • IPhone, can not get it out of Auto-lock

    On occasions once my 3g Iphone has gone into autolock I am unable to use the phone again. I can not get it out of auto lock, I have tried restarting but it maskes no difference.
    I often have to ring it from another phone to bring the Iphone back to life, which is rather annoying and I am not always by another avaliable phone.
    Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix this? Thanks

    Have you tried reset (page 34 of the manual)?

  • HT201210 can not get iphone4s out of recovery  mode.  it keeps saying an unknown error occurred.

    I installed the latest upgrade on my Iphone4s now it wont turn on, and will not work.  the screen on my phone show a picture of a plug, i plug into the computer, itunes comes up and it says phone is in recovery zone. then it says an error has occurred.  i just want to get my phone to turn back on and work, can anyone help or have any suggetions of what to do.  The people working in our local AT&T store are so unhelpful and lazy!

    That usually indicates a hardware failure. If you can return it and get your money back, do so. Otherwise, make an appointment at the genius bar and get the phone replaced or buy a new one.

  • Can't get small disc out of drive

    I bought a product that had a smaller than normal disc with drivers on it.   I put it into the disc drive to install it.  The computer didn't recognize it as being in there, and I can't get it out now.   Help!!!

    You're not supposed to put small discs into a slot loading drive. You might have to visit an Apple Store to get it out.

  • I can not get the new updates because my start disc and hard drive are full, I need 1.98 GB.

    I can not get the new updates because my start disc and hard drive are full, I need 1.98 GB.

    Some folks recommend OmniDiskSweaper to allow you to review your stuff to find possible candidates to throw away.
    Even if you throw away some stuff and your desired "1.98GB", then what?  If that's the number you need for the update, you'll just use most or all of the reclaimed space with the update and you are right back to where you started.
    You don't specify what kind of machine you got but presumably it's a mac pro since you posted in the Mac Pro community.  In which case just get yourself another drive or two and move stuff around to free up your boot drive.
    [Perhaps you should hurry too since I expect hdd prices might be going up due to possible impending hdd shortages.]
    Finally, if some of those updates are major system updates you want extra drives for backups because I always recommend you never do major updates to your system without backups to that system.

  • I have an iMac model 4,1 running OSX 10.6.8.   The CD/DVD drive went bad and I have replaced it.  However I can not get disks to eject.   I have asked about this before and tried all all the suggestions I have received but I can not eject.

    Yesterday I opened up the iMac and reinstalled the drive to make sure that it was not an alignment problem.   I still can not eject.   When I try to eject the drive makes noises like it is ejecting but the disk does not come out.
    How do I solve this problem?

    Hi again Hal
    Link to your other thread > The slot loading CD/DVD drive in my...: Apple Support Communities
    You have also tried resetting the PRAM as I suggestion in your other thread...?
    See resetting the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    6. Release the keys.

  • I have a DVD stock in my Imact and the finder does not recognice it. How can I get it out?

    I have a DVD stock in my Imact and the finder does not recognice it. How can I get it out?

    Hold down the mouse button when shutting down,  If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

  • I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??

    I inserted a mini CD (3") and it will not eject, how can I get it out??  I tried a little shaking, and restarting and holding the mouse pad down.  I heard the spinning but still cannot eject or read the disc.

    Short of taking it to a repair shop for extraction,  you can shut it down and try shaking the devil out of it.
