CD is not ejecting from the drive.

Hello Discussions, I'm in need of some help here.
The CD I put in earlier does not want to eject from the drive. The computer reads it and all, I can explore the whole CD, but when I press the Eject button it doesn't want to come out. I've tried some of the things I've seen posted in other topics, like pressing the Eject key or the mouse button during start-up. Nothing has worked.
When I press the Eject key the disc stops moving and it attempts to come out, but it stops halfway and goes back in, and the computer recognizes it again.
Now, I don't want to be answering my own question here, but I'm thinking something could be in the way of the CD when I try to eject it. I've looked in the drive, went with an index card just around the opening, but there's nothing there that can be stopping the CD from coming out.
The drive to the nearest Apple store takes at least an hour, so I'm trying to resolve this at home. Anything I can do to get this CD out? Or will I end up having to schedule an appointment and get this checked out by a Genius? Hopefully I can avoid the latter..
Thanks for the help!
PowerBook G4 12'' Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi Javis,
I am experiencing EXACTLY the same problem as you with my 12"pb. The problem started immediately after doing a software update to OS X (10.4.9) and has never occured before that. Because of this i am hoping (and praying) this is a software issue, not a problem with the drive itself. Like you i can hear the drive begining to spit the disc out, but it never appears and the machine reads it again as if it were a new disc being inserted. I have tried everything i have found on the discussion forums, including rebooting with the apple, option, O and F keys held to enter the firmware control panel. typing 'eject cd' gives the same result as all other methods, even though the panel gives me the 'ok message'. I will let you know if i have any success....
I notice your post is from almost a month ago; have you had any success since then?
thanks

My ipod nano will not eject from the computer and it says that it is connected even tho i have hit the eject button on itunes. What do i do????

I have tried to disconnect my ipod nano from the computer and it continues to say that it is connected. I am afriad to unplug it because I did that a few minutes ago to try and fix it and I had to reset it. It was completely synced when i hit the eject button. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

Right click on the iPod Nano icon. "Eject" should pop up. At least that is the way it works on Macs.

Dvds keep getting ejected from the drive.

powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.2) Ever since I've upgraded to OS10.4.8 my combo drive ejects some dvds, specifically dvd+r discs. What gives with that? Any help or workaround will be much appreciated. The following is my info.
Machine Name: PowerBook G4
Machine Model: PowerBook3,4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)

powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

My PowerBook (Machine Model: PowerBook3,5) had the same issue when I first got it, over three years ago, and Apple declared it a faulty drive and replaced under Applecare.
I had the same problem earlier this year, just before my extended Applecare ran out, and it was the same issue - faulty drive.
The symptoms were - unable to read certain types of DVD (the machine would grind for a while, then spit them back out), including the Apple Hardware Test, but would readily read some other DVDs and all CDs.
Hope this helps,
Rich
I forgot to say: this sound like something that shouldn't have an impact (I remember when it was the second step on every article regarding troubleshooting OS 7!), but resetting the PRAM would help about half the time for a temporary fix

I can't import my movies to work on them. They are coming from a external hard drive, not directly from the camera, its type mpeg-e (.mts)

What can I do ?

1. Is your external HD connected by firewire?
2. mpeg2 is the final compressed delivery format of a DVD, not intended for editing, and iMovie cannot handle such files, so you need to convert them first:
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :

which is a mere $20.

Not booting from the install CD

I have put in a new HD, and the computer will not read the CD when holding the C key. I have tried option C, and just option but the CD dose not show up. I have tried my G5 desktop install CD. In the case of the MacBook CD it tries to read but then ejects the disk. The desktop CD spins up, but never loads.
I have formatted the disk with no change.
I have removed the HD, and it dose not boot from the CD.

This sounds like a hardware issue and needs to be looked at. It should have booted to the optical drive by holding down the C key with the correct DVD inserted. The correct DVD meaning a system disc that came with that MacBook or a newer OS disk. I'm also thinking that since the machine has nothing to boot to on the HD, it will automatically try the optical drive for an OS.
Have you tried booting to your old/previous HD? -GDF

Macbook Pro will not boot from internal drive

I have a macbook pro model indentifier: macbookpro 7,1. The system would not boot what I have tried is first running apple diagnostics and all test fine, I tried booting from a snow leopard cd to re-install and it would not boot from the cd, however it does boot from the techtool pro 6 cd. I did run the test in techtool pro and all check out ok.
I removed the drive from the system and connected via usb to test and it boots fine from usb, put back internal and same result no boot. I did some research and I see that someone had a similar problem and it was the sata cable, but since the diagnostics test ok I am not sure that would be the problem.
Any Suggetions, this is driving me crazy
Thanks in advance
Bret

coffee would not HAVE to do anything except mechanically. It would not have any effect now since it has dried out, well short of corroding some components.
Check the points where the HDD casing "meets" the Macbook casing. How much pressure is there?
What about the pressure pins "pogo pins" are they all functioning?
What about pressure on the cables?
Please describe how it wont boot? What exactly does it do / happens

Satellite P300-1A8 will not boot from disc drive

Hi,
I had a little play with start up programs, partitioning the hard drive and marking as active and deleting programs i thought i did not need.
I obviously had no idea what i was doing!
Laptop will go to toshiba screen then goes blank, i can not boot from the disc drive.
I put the hard drive into another laptop and it works fine.
I put the hard drive of that laptop in the buggered one and that works fine.
How the hell do i put the original one back with it working??
Really really stuck with this!!!!!
Any help would be appreciated.
Only thing i havent tried is the recovery disc but im not paying for one if it wont boot as itl be a waste of money.
Seems like its a compatability problem with cpu and hard drive as they dont want to be friends anymore!!
Thank you in advance

Hi!
Can you boot in the safe mode?
If you dont have a recovery disk, use the Microsoft installation disk and try to boot from it.
And you said that you cant boot from disc drive, did you tried different disks?
Maybe some are not readable or not bootable.
The best way would be a recovery disk. The installation takes a few minutes and you have a clean installation with all drivers and tools from Toshiba.
Bye
