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

    If the old laptop was a mac also, then use your Time Machine backup to restore you user settings and files.

    If you are referring to the original system reinstall discs that shipped with every Mac before Lion came out you'll need to contact Apple with the serial # of your Mac and order a replacement set of them.
    Or look on one of the Auction websites or places like iFixit.com for a replacement set.
    If your Mac came new with any of the Download Only versions of OS X, Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks you don't need any discs to reinstall OS X. You use the Online Internet Recovery system or the built in Recovery HD partition inb the internal hard drive.
    For the built in Recovery HD hold down the Command + r keys at startup. For the Online system hold down the Command + Option/Alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen.

  • When I open iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I am now getting a small window that says "Checking iTunes Library" with a pinwheel. This goes on for 5-10 minutes before I am able to access iTunes. Help! How do I fix this?

    I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
    Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
    No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

  • IPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?

    iPhone 4s battery stuck at 100 percent. How do I get it back to normal?
    Ever since the update, I am having issues with the battery. Phone shuts down while it still shows 100 percent battery life. Normally not a big deal because I don't use it all the time but lately an issue when I'm working in Manhattan and it shuts down while in the middle of conversation or emailing.
    I can't go around charging it every hour wondering what my battery life really is.
    Please help!

    My phone now is not working at all. It only works for a few minutes while it is plugged into the wall and then it shuts down and pops right back up showing it has 75% battery. It has been doing this since yesteday afternoon.
    I tried the reset and it is still acting up. Dreading having to take this to the Apple store since it is past the initial 90 days and I will probably get charged for it. :( Dont want to shell out money for a new one since I just got this one in October.
    Thanks for your help.

    Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

  • Shoot i got my memory card in my cd slot how do i get it out

    how do i get it out?please help!

    Guys, it has to be fairly new if it has a memory card reader!
    Perhaps Mr Ives and company should reconsider putting the memory card reader slot just below the ODD slot. I am sure that many folks try to insert discs and memory card by feel alone.
    sdfsddfgssdg, you may do some damage fishing around in the ODD looking for something as small as a memory card. Then any damage to your ODD would not be covered by warranty. Best to pay the price of your error and have it looked at by a pro.
