Eject Button Not Working

When i press the eject button, the cd or disc inside my macbook pro does not come out, so instead i have to drag the disc to the eject icon, which is really annoying, this is not a new problem to me, but it has gotten to me, so please if anyone has any answers please help!

All I can think of is that somehow you've mapped the Eject key to another function, have you installed any utilities that allow you to change how the Function keys work ?

  • Windows 8.1 64bit ,eject button not working

    I have an imac and have installed windows 8.1 64 bit and everything works well except my eject button on my apple keyboard. so now I cant intall any programs from disk. also my apple super drive isn't showing up omn 'my computer ' in windows
    im pretty sure I installed the needed newest drivers...so what am I missing?

    On your Bootcamp drivers there should be a driver named AppleODDInstaller64.exe which is the Optical Disk Drive installer. You can copy this to the a USB and install it on the Windows side for it to recognize the Optical disk and the eject button should work. You are also going to need AppleKeyboardInstaller64.exe  for the keyboard to be recognized.
    There is also a mechanism to eject the disk using OSX terminal and using diskutil eject on the OSX side. See man diskutil for the OSX side.
    eject device
                    Eject a disk.  Media will become offline for the purposes of being a data store for file systems or being a member of constructs such

  • Remote control and eject button not working?

    Hey.
    Not too much to explain - my remote control does not work at all, and neither does my cd eject button on the keypad. This is after the installation of Leopard.
    I've tried to search for the issue but only find people complaining about the new Front Row design or how they cannot eject volumes at all. (Which is not my case)
    Has some people had this error and fixed it?
    Thanks in advance.

    The remote control could be because I deactivated my IR receiver
    That leaves my eject button.

  • Clock will not display, Eject button not working

    Odd problems. Users clock will not display, check the box and it will not stay, clock never appears. Now the eject button will not function properly.
    Logged in as a different user, same problems. Must be a system thing...
    Ran Disk utilities both while in the OS and from the install CD. It did find some problems but says it repaired them all. No change.
    Ran TechTool Pro, it said it found some problems and fixed them. No change.
    Trashed all preferences and .plists, reboot. Everything reset to defaults no change to clock or eject button.
    System is G4 Mirror Door Dual 1.25Ghz, 1GB RAM, on system 10.3.9 all updates applied.
    The odd thing is everything else seems to be working properly... None of the Apps complain or display anything wrong...
    Any other thoughts would be appreciated.

    Ryan,
    I see that you list X Serv and Tiger 10.4.2 for your computer profile. I presume that you are talking about a different computer in the text of your post since you specify system 10.3.9.
    Problems of that nature can often be rectified by removing the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist from the ~Library/Preferences Folder, or by reapplying the most recent Combo update.

  • Eject button not working on dvd/cd tray

    You name it, I've tried it! Apples advice was to backup my work and wipe the dripe and reinstall the OS. Guess what - the eject button still doesn't work! Well done apple. That'll be 2 days wasted of precious production time.
    All this after a new power supply and logic board being installed by the apple store in birmingham because the mac had no power going to it. (6 week old MacPro 2.66) Yet the eject button worked fine when it came back from repair.
    Has anybody got and realistic ideas as to why the eject button doesn't work.
    I can manually eject the tray and also when using toast I can eject the tray - its just in the OS that its not working. I hav tried dropping a link to the eject button on the customize menu but the icon is just greyed out.
    I have even dropped in a brand new cd/dvd drive from another mac still with the same result.

    Right - the story is concluded - Finally!!!! Apparently when the technician removed the optical drive unit whilst fitting the new power supply and logic board he didn't fit the cables back into the right places on the drive!!!
    But at least now its fixed and I can get back on with some work.

  • MSI ge60 onc-293xcz - screen off button and eject button not working

    Hello,
    I have recently bought the above mentioned device and I have a problem with 2 buttons which are between speakers as they are inactive.
    Could you please advise if there is any driver update which actually brings them back to life?
    Another thing is Turbo button - I read that this model does not support overclocking mode which is probably the reason why this button cannot be used manually and it turns on and off only when  the system needs.
    Thank you for your replies

    do you have SCM installed? [or SBAR]
    what OS you're running?

  • Logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014

    logitech mouse buttons not working in photoshop cc 2014 winds 8.1. Is this a common problem?
    I have updated the latest drivers and have a few buttons programmed with keyboard shortcuts that used to work in previous versions of Photoshop but don't work now.
    Scrolling with mouse in bridge stopped working in cc butI see it is now working.
    any ideas?

    Many Photoshop extensions are not compatible with Photoshop CC 2014 for Adobe removed support for Flash Panels in CC 2014. Many extensions panels are flash based.  Check with the developer to see if their blendmein extension works with CC 2014.
    Adobe does not maintain Photoshop so it backward compatible with prior versions of Photoshop.  This brakes things like action scripts plugins extensions etc. Keep old version of Photoshop installed....

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.
    Regards.

  • Iphone 4 home button not working, called never fixed, then cracked screen before bringing it back again, will they blame the cracked screen if i bring it back?

    I bought an iPhone 4 less than a year ago, then one day the home button randomly stopped working, I bought the warranty so I decided to call in and see what was wrong with it. The girl said that restoring the phone would correct the problem which it did. But it is only a temporary fix, it happens more often now. So I was meaning to call in soon, but the other day my phone fell out of my pocket IN CASE from a foot height and cracked the screen. I nearly threw up. All the years I have had a phone I have never cracked or broken one, strongest screen my ***. Anyway, if I contact them again now will they fix the home button problem? or will they say that the cracked screen is obviously the cause of the home button not working? which it is not!! I don't care about the screen being cracked its not on the actual screen just on the side so its irrelevant to me. Plus I heard it is outrageosly pricey to replace.

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.1

    I've just upgrade my iphone 4 to OS 4.3.1 and I'm having issues with home button not working. Need to hit it several times before I can close an app or wake the iphone. Any one having this issue?

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1

  • Iphone 4 volume buttons not working

    iphone 4 volume and mute buttons not working, checked all settings they are all fine and when headphones in it works??? When I take out headphones the volum buttons do not work, when phone rings or text receives only vibrates???? HELP!!!!

    This could be due to some debris or dirt inside the  headphones jack that makes the iPhone think that the headphones are connected even when they are not.
    Try to see if you can clean the jack being very careful, with canned air as sold in electronics store.  Some people have been successful by introducing and withdrawing the headphones jack several times in a row to displace whatever is in there if it is lodged in.
    Avoid introducing anything else like a pointed object.  You could damage the jack.
    If all of this does not work, I would try first resetting the phone by holding the home button and the power button together for about 15 seconds or until the whilte apple appears, then waiting until the phone resets.  If the problem continues after this, take it to an Apple Store to see what they believe should be done.

    thanks for your reply but I need more specific operation.
    maybe I am not very clear about the problem one. I mean when I run the code in standard mode, if I click the browse button, a window will pop out and I can choose a video file from my local harddisk. but if I run it in "web start execution" mode and "run in browser" mode. the browse button make no response when I click it.
