Dvd-disc stuck. How do I get it out?

Hi,
I put in an dvd that the dvd player can´t read. But now I don´t even get it out. The "eject dick" command is not feasible in the toolbar and ommand-E dosn´t work either.
Is there another way?

Hold down the Option key at Startup. The screen redraws with an Icon for each bootable Volume, and the Eject key is "live" once all the icons are drawn. This tends to work a little better because software can't "Grab" the contents of the drive and lock it up.
If it is still stuck, make an appointment at the Genius Bar. Those guys solve this problem for users all day, every day, and they have disc extraction down to a science. If they do not have to remove the drive, there is generally no charge, in warranty or out.

  • HT204392 Mistakenly dropped media card into DVD Slot..How do I get it out?

    Help, dropped a media card into my DVD slot.  How do I remove it?

    ok..I was able to remove the media card by propping up the computer on its side on two 4x4 lumber, then reached
    in the slot with a thin feeler guage and pulled it out.  The slot has a flexible boot of sort which inhibits the
    media card from falling 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.

    Have an ibook G4 at work. The computer will no longer turn on. Seems like the hard drive has died because the battery is still lighting up. I have a dvd in the computer, though. How can I get it out when the computer won't boot up?

    Even though the iBook won't boot, try the suggestions here just in case.

    Running a mid 2009 iMac on 10.7.5, 3 gb memory, 320 gb hd. 
    Suddenly the computer stoped reading DVDs and the only time I can read a CD is if I restart.  Quite often when I insert a CD it gets stuck and I cannot get it out until I restart and it shows up on the desktop where I can then eject it.
    I have checked and double checked the finder prefs and all looks normal showing a check mark on CDs,DVDs etc. (the ones I want to show up on the desktop)
    I have reset the PEAM, repaired permissions with both the disk utility on the computer and the disk utility when I start up in the Recovery Disk.  I did notice that sometimes the permission repeat the same correction several times before it moves on, and sometimes it doesn’t. I have Windows installed on a partition but I keep it unmounted until it is needed for my wife’s work.  The dock seems to be just fine and all the apps seems to run just fine.  When I insert a photo CD iPhoto does not open but when I insert a music CD iTunes does open. 
    Also, most every time I open iPhoto it takes a long time(sometimes as long as 2 minutes) for it to load.
    Sometimes my Mail (Mail 5.3) does not post new mail but most of the time it does. 
    Once and a while it seems like the computer slows way down but then it seems ok ten minutes later.
    All  of these ‘things’ seemed to have happen suddenly and I have not downloaded anything from the internet in some time.
    Of course the warranty and extended warranty are both no longer in effect having had this computer for more than three years.
    I am running Java and Adobe Player because some of the sites I go to a lot require both.

    I believe that insufficient RAM may be the source of some of your problems. If you have a RAM of somewhere 4 to 8GB, you will experience smoother computing. 3GB doesn't seem right, so you might want to learn more by going to this site:

    I don't know what know what's happening with your optical drive, but it seems you use your drive quite a bit. In that case, look into a lens cleaner for your machine. It's inexpensive, works quite well.
    I hope you'll post here with your results!

  • My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen?

    My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen? Have tried via itunes to move it and also swipping it - just won't come out.

    I have the same problem!  Let me know if you manage to sort it out.  My iPad did the same thing but to full restore from iTunes sorted that out. Have you tried that? No such luck with my iPhone.

  • Help, I've got a small CD stuck in my MacBook Pro. How do I get it out?

    My tax guy sent me a tiny CD and, full of doubt, I stuck it in my MacBook Pro, where it remains. How do I get it out without taking apart my machine?

    Yup, that's a one time deal for sure. I didn't want to stick anything in there, and it hadn't engaged, so following some of the advice in the link you posted I turned off the machine and simply shook the little ******* out of there. I was able to grab it with my fingers no problem. Much better and simpler than sticking things in there haha. The solution was so simply I'm embarrassed I didn't come up with it on my own.
    Thanks for your help!
    And thanks to everyone who responded, in case you see this reply.
    cheers

    Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
    You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

  • TS3694 MY IPOD touch 6th gen is stuck in repeat. I have selected shuffle. how do I get it out of repeat?

    My iPod touch is stuck in "repeat mode". It plays the same song each time. I have selected shuffel. How do I get it out of repeat?

    Ah, found it!
    if you are listening to a song, tapping once on the album cover in "Now Playing"  will show you the lyrics (if there are any in the song's info) and the repeat and shuffle options. The repeat option is to the left of the slider. It's pretty small. But you can tap on that to turn on playlist repeat or single-song repeat.
