Help! the DVD won't eject from my Macbook.

I turned it off for an hour to cool down and try again but it still won't work.
It's making the eject noise but the DVD doesn't come out, and it just seems to restart the film again as though I've put in a new DVD.

hold down the mouse / trackpad button when restarting the computer until the disc ejects

  • How can I eject a disk that won't eject from my iBook G4?

    What can I do to eject a disk, that won't eject. from my iBook G4?

    If it is trying to eject and won't it may be that the slot opening
    is blocked by the protective cover. Mine was torn and after a couple of attempts
    to repair it I ended up removing it.

  • Unreadable disc won't eject from macbook pro

    Hi everyone,
    Really annoyed with the fact that this disc is proving difficult to eject. The laptop is not reading the dvd, therefore the usuall methods of ejecting a disc hasn't worked, e.g. pressing the eject button and moving the disc icon to the trash. I have tried the disk utilty application as well, still, the laptop does not recognise that there is a disc inserted!
    I have tried other methods that I have read including reebooting and holding the trackpad, repeating that process with a credit card and also that didn't work. The laptop does make an effort to eject the dvd, as the ussual nioses are made, although the sound made don't sound too good. I also tried the terminal programme which resulted in the same noises but the dvd still remains stuck.
    One thing I havent tried is to take it to a store or specialist but I would like to try remove it myself first as going to a store is a hassle!!! is there any other way that i havent tried
    Please please help me apple community, thanks!

  • My dvd won't eject

    I bought my desktop 27 inch mac last year and haven't had any problems.  however, suddenly when I put in a dvd, i get a message that the disc is not supported.  Mind you, I'm inserting dvd's from Netflix and legit manufacturers. Today, I tried to circumvent the problem by opening dvd player before inserting the disc only to get the same message; and now the disc won't eject via the player, or via the keyboard.  I'm stumped.

    Hi, orange07 -
    Don't know about the DVD not working. But, to eject it try this:
    Restart. Immediately press the left mouse button, keep it held down. This is a hardware-based instruction to the Mac to eject all removable media.

  • DVD won't eject and MacBook pro 2,16 new

    On a new Macbook pro 2,16 last generation the Disk won't eject, I have tried F12 and start but won't come out, anybody had the same problem the MAC try to eject the DVD but it won't come out

    I would like to share with you my experience.
    Only 2 hours after buying the MBP, I decided to re-install all the system to save space inHDD.
    The second disk was stuck, I tried to pull it out without success.
    I tried to see whet happened and i concluded that the CD hit the top of the slot.
    So I decided to push with my thumb, reasonnably on the right hand side part of the computer (close to the trackpad) to move down the SuperDrive...An it worked.
    I have to mention that I trid to find in the NET what was the fittings condition of the SD, and I knew there was some degree of feedom verticaly. I assumed it was just a matter of few millimeters.

    Triple check the Outgoing Mail server info that you entered in your Mail account. If that area says the info is optional enter the outgoing mail server and your password anyway. Also if you have more than one email account check the server that is selected for the GoDaddy account and make sure it's the correct server for the account.

    I used iDVD to create an IMG file
    You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

  • ICal won't sync from my MacBook Pro to MobileMe

    iCal won't sync from my MacBook Pro to MobileMe.  But MobileMe entries appear on iCal on the MacBook. My iPhone and iPad work fine.  Any suggestions?

    Hi melindybek ,
    You are awesome and already a step ahead! The logs are blank, because by default they are off. If its necessary to turn them on the directions on, instructions of how to to this are at the end.
    To check if they are both on the updated version, its possible to check by going to accounts.firefox.com to see if you are logged in. If so, both are updated. If not, how to update: sign in at that address to be on the new one.
    Toggling the sync may jumpstart it too. Removing the account and adding it back starts a fresh sync, or Tools > Sync Now.
    * How do I turn on sync logs:
    # Open about:config and turn on: services.sync.log.appender.file.logOnSuccess and services.sync.log.logger.engine.bookmarks
    # Restart Firefox and look at: about:sync-log
    # Logs and error messages will be located here
    Please also use pastebin.mozilla.org for sharring any errors that relate to this issue.
    Thank you.

  • The storage/removal of files from my MacBook Air as they pertain to a Keynote Presentation

    A question about the storage/removal of files from my MacBook Air as they pertain to a Keynote Presentation.
    I have a rather sizeable Keynote (about 7GB) since it has several QT Movies embedded.  And the key word is embedded:  if I was to remove the “original” QT files and other large graphics off the HD (in an effort to regain some space on the 250GB onboard flash drive) and in Keynote Preferences I have checked “copy audio and movies into document” then the Keynote presentation remains intact and does NOT need any of those QT files living on the MBAir itself.  I could keep them on a separate dedicated FW drive for future inclusion and/or editing. 
    That is – the Keynote presentation will stand as its own complete file and does not need to reference those files sitting on the HD in order to work as they have been copied into the Keynote presentation itself (and hence their propagation is what is also accounting for the disc space concern).
    I am concerned that if I remove the files then the slides that do require QT won’t be able to “find” the files…..but I am working under the assumption that the above steps have ensured that they are integrated into the actual presentation file and do not need to “find” them on the HD.  Make sense?
    Thanks
    Theo

    Great!  Thanks so much for the quick reply, Gary  Much appreciated.

  • If I have 2 tv's and each their own apple tv can I display the same program to them from my macbook at the same time?

    If I have 2 tv's and each their own apple tv can I display the same program to them from my macbook at the same time?
    for instance Keynote?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    The Apple TV cannot display keynote presentations or websites from the computer. It can display them via mirroring from the iPad 2 or better or the iPhone 4S.
    You cannot AirPlay to 2 Apple TV 2's at the same time from an iOS device. You can watch the same video, TV show or listen to the same music from your iTunes library on multiple Apple TV's at the same time.
