DVD-R got stuck in my iMac27" Drive

urgent help welcomed!

check out Kappy's user tip:
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.

If something small got stuck in your disk drive what steps do you take to remove it?

if something small got stuck in your disk drive what steps do you take to remove it?

Depending on the model of Mac I would first try to tilt the unit to see if you can get whatever you got stuck in there nearer the edge. Do not shake the Mac to move the object - you could cause damage to internal components.
The next best thing is to use a very fine pair of tweezers or pliers and try to remove the object. Sometimes a credit card or firm business card may also help you move the object nearer to the lip of the optical drive.
Be warned though - you are not supposed to stick anything into the optical drive yourself to try and remove something as you could cause further damage. Your best bet is to take it into an Apple Store and have them remove it. Just as another warning though - this would count as accidental damage and so is not covered under your Applecare if you have it. You'll have to pay out of pocket to get the object removed.

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

Dear all, I have a MacBook Pro bought in April 2011. Last April, it got stuck while the wheel was spinning and I had to force it shut. That cost me my hard drive. Now, it's stuck again. I tried esc, cmd+tab, moving the trackpad on the apple, but no. HELP!

Dear John,
thank you for your prompt reply. After I sent the email, I left the wheel spinning to see if it would eventually stop. It didn't, but after a while the screen turned blue, so I decided to switch everything off with a forced shut-down. I could not restart with the OS DVDs because I am currently away from home, but fortunately everything was more or less fine after restarting. It then got stuck again, I forced it shut again, restarted again, and now it seem to work but I won't overdo it and will switch off smoothly after writing this (unless it gets stuck again). Last April I have replaced the HD, so it's now just under 6 months old. And, of course, since the crash occurred when I was abroad and had backed up just before I left, I have lost only a few days' work. Still, and I know this will make me hugely unpopular here, with my 5 previous laptops running on MS Windows I never had a problem. Which does not mean I loved the OS, or I would not have switched to Mac.
Anyway, and this is the main reason for this message, thank you very much again for your speedy intervention.

Hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files

hey guys, so I have a DVD stuck in the CD drive on my mac. It reads it as being in there, but I cannot eject it and it is causing my a lot of issues with my mac. If i try to eject it, Finder acts up and I have issues saving projects or even browsing files. I feel like it interferes with iPhoto as well because it says it is locked and I have no rights to view it. I wanted to see if anyone else had/s this issue and how you fixed it before lugging it into the apple store and being without a computer for a few weeks...

A few other suggestions here as well:

Well it started like this I've been away for 12 days and I usually inplug things before I go on vacation, I
Come plug everything back in start up and it's stuck on the grey screen with the ape logo and the spinning gear. I left about 3hrs on this then assumed its struggle to find the start up disc so I plug the original DVD start up disc in. Then it start up with that to the install screen and could find a hard disc to install to? So I eject that DVD and try with the other DVD. And now this is where I am now.
I have a password set on my start up and guest user. I am just trying to start up as guest user and the gear has stopped spinning and now I just have a grey screen with apple logo.
Ups I now have a grey screen with no apple logo put the screen is textured.

Please. Does anyone know why I can't Boot, DVD-RW is stuck in the drive?

When I try to boot up the screen stops at the picture of the apple with the circular motion thingy and does not go any further. I let it sit there for an hour and it never came up.
It all started when I tried to make a copy of a home video on DVD-RW. I had a Lacie external dvd burner and a Lacie external Hard drive connected. The program Toast kept coming up with an error when I tried to copy the DVD-RW. I figured I would just go and download the free Mpeg-2 streamclip program & the DC30 Xact Driver for Mac to make a copy and burn the project. I downloaded both and restarted my computer and it never rebooted. It just sits on the screen mentioned above. I really need to get the DVD-RW out today because it is a friends.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Mucho thanks.

Have you tried booting up in safe mode? Hold down the shift key while booting up. If that works you might try uninstalling that new software you just installed.

HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook-It was working fine and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.

I own a HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook. The OS is Win 7 64bit. I made 4 partitions after formatting the 1TB HDD as the C drive would not reduce to the 40GB size I wanted through disk management.
It was working fine till now and then it suddenly got stuck during startup.
I talked to customer support and they said it was a OS problem and I should order a set of 6 Recovery DVDs. i want to know if using the HP recovery disk
1) Has an option to repair the system and leaves the disk partition unchanged?
2) It resets the notebook to factory condition?
3) There is an option of recovery disk which I should specifically ask for?
Thanks!!

Hi RanSri,
I understand you are having issues with the HP Pavilion dv6 7039tx Notebook.
You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

A CD is stuck inside my disk drive!

I CD got pushed into my disk drive and now it won't eject. It also won't read the drive. It keeps making noises when I open the laptop and log on as if it is trying to eject, but it never works. I'm pretty sure my disk drive is dead, but any way to get the disk out?

Help =( Mac got stuck on gray screen

Hi
Update went ok a couple of days ago.
Tonight it suddently got "stuck" and after rebooting it, it is now stuck on a gray screen.
Impossible to reboot from the installation disk or from my Lacie disk or from the HD.
When attempting to reboot from the Leopard installation disk, I then get a message telling me that the Mac needs to be restarted, but when I restart, I get stuck again on the gray screen with the Apple logo in the middle.
I am at a loss as to what to do.
Help, please!!! I am now on a friend's computer to access help. So a quick response from someone would be fantastic.
Anyone?

update on current situation:
i took my macbook to be repaired first thing this morning.
it is apparently a small part that is damaged and therefore preventing the macbook to reboot.
hence why the hardware test indicated that it found no problems and that when attempting to reboot from a disk or a drive, it finds them, but cannot reboot from either.
the part should be here tomorrow afternoon and i should get my macbook back either tomorrow or thursday.
apparently, it is nothing serious and no loss of data should occurr.
but they will only know this for sure once the part has been replaced and they can actually reboot it. they say this is not linked with the leopard update.
just sheer bad luck from a defective part.

How do you eject a cd stuck in your disk drive??

how do you eject a cd stuck in your disk drive??

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.

Two Macbook pros circa 2009 in our temporary household in Turkey suddenly failed to boot and got stuck on the grey screen. They were able to boot at the Apple store, but not when we brought them back to our apartment. Could this be a coincidence? A

THank you Ogelthorpe. When my wife's computer I went on line to the site that you sent and tried everything But nothing worked. When my son came to visit and his MacBook Pro did exactly the same thing we became suspicious - too much of a coincidence. We took both computers somewhere else, out of our apartment, and they both booted. We ran disk utility on both, but the report in both cases was that there are no issues with the hard drive. Back in our apartment neither will boot up. My MacBook Pro is a later model with a solid state drive and it seems to work fine here.. I tried an external drive and it works fine. We think that this has something to do with some kind of magnetic interference in our apartment to which the 2009 drives are susceptible. It is indeed a mystery!

Really slow install and 10.5.1 got stuck on "Writing package receipts"

I installed a fresh install on my ibook G4 way back but forgot to ask about this issue I had with installing. The install was incredibly slow and when I took a peek at the installation log, I noticed these sort of entries there:
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 root[2248]: Begin script: aclmodify.pl
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:44 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:45 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: No receipt for 'com.apple.pkg.OSInstall' found at '/Volumes/OS X'.
Oct 26 07:50:45 ibookg4 /Volumes/OS X/private/tmp/scripts.61Db/./postinstall[2232]: /Volumes/OS X/System/Library/User Template/Dutch.lproj
Now that I started to upgrade my system to 10.5.1 the system rebooted and started the install and got stuck at "Writing package receipt" and I left it running over night and in the morning I had had enough of waiting and just pushed the power button until the system turned off. I then turned it back on and it rebooted a couple of times and after that I got my system to a login screen and after login I checked what "About this Mac" said on my system and it claimed it to be OS X 10.5.1.
I whonder if it went through okay or not?
Could this problem have something to do with what happened during 10.5 installation?

I updated my wife's G4 iBook to 10.5 and 10.5.1 without incident. That said, I have ad other incidents where an install appeared to hang but worked fine after that.
My guess is that if your system is working normally and the About This Mac shows 10.5.1, then the upgrade was OK. Did you do the smaller (39MB) install from Software Update? If so, it is recommended that you download the full 110MB Update from the Apple site and reapply it to your machine.
You stated originally that you did a "fresh" install of Leopard. If you haven't done much else and have no data on your machine, it might be worth the effort to reformat the iBook drive and do another fresh install just to be sure there is nothing lurking in the background.
The install should only take about 2 -2.5 hours to do.
Hope this helps.

CD Got Stuck and Got Very Poor Support for this issue

I Have a mac mini Intel Duo core. This is the second time My cd is getting Stuck.
First Time It was my mac OSX Recovery Disk. I inserted My disk and restarted the system before i got the cd loaded. The Cd Got Stuck. None of the standerd recovery procedures worked. I called up support and took the system to apple care solution They took a day to take it out.
This Time I Inserted an audio cd during Screen saver mode (Forrest Screen Saver) and when resumed to work I found out the CD was not recognised. I have Installed the eject shortcut on the top right menu bar. When i clicked eject after a long wait Nothing happend. The Drive was listed in Utilities> Disk Utility But I was not able to Eject. When I restarted by clicking the mouse button also nothing worked. Once I have restarted I have No drives Listed.
By Callon Customer Support I tried all trouble shooting steps again. Now I will Have to take my mac mini back to service it mak take a day to fix it.
I think cd gets stuck then we insert the cd in screen saver mode or insert it and restart before cd is recognised. Can Some one try out these scenaios and tell me whether my diag is right?
reg Apple support It is very poor (Compared to this dell has very good support. The are having their tech ppl coming home with all possible replasement components that might have gorn wrong trouble shoot fix the issue do replacements and leave the place compared to this apple care is just very poor ). One has to carry his mini to authorised service every time this occurs and wait untill the support ppl ejects it for me (This gives me no Option other than handing over my pc and wait without one for a day). The slot drive does not have a manual eject hole accessable to end user (Thats a cool design flaw).
In short Apple Service is very poor all arround the world
Mac Mini (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Siva,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You just happened to have gotten some bad support by fluke. On the whole Apple's support is rated better than Dell worldwide:
http://forums.maccentral.com/wwwthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=6 18987
There are a couple articles which I recommend reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106752
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58641
The latter article may not explain directly why your last couple of disks failed to eject, but if you used a non-standard disk, or one that had an adhesive label on it which suddenly got into the drive, it might have affected the ability of the drive to eject properly.
Yes occasionally you do get bad support, and occasionally a repair is flawed, but that's why when you call AppleCare and you have a problem with a repair, I recommend you speak to customer relations. They'll set you right.
