Help! unable to eject cd from macbook air superdrive

Can anyone please help me?  I inserted a cd in my macbookair_superdrive and I can't eject it!!!! The drive doesn't show up in the Finder for me to eject it and I pressed on the Media Eject button on the keyboard and it still didn't work.  Please help! Thanks!

If the external drive doesn't show up then you have a problem. Try unplugging the drive then replugging it. See if the drive is recognized (and possibly the disc in it.) If the drive is functional:
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.

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    How can I tell whether my External HD is formatted NTFS?
    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.
    Ciao.

  • Cannot print from Macbook Air to Lexmark x2650 on Windows XP via wireless network (Linksys e1550)

    Unable to print from recently purchased Macbook Air via wireless router (Linksys e1550) that is connected Windows XP which is connected to Lexmark x2650 printer.  Macbook Air is connected to wireless router and able to access internet.  Windows XP printer is set-up for sharing and I am able to see and add printer from Macbook Air.  I have installed Lexmark 2600 series driver on Macbook Air.  Macbook Air sends print job to print queue and print job is released from queue but does not print on Lexmark printer connected to XP.  Any suggestions?

    Hi Wade, and Welcome to the dicussions.
    I think it's how the PC is setup and interpreting the Mac's drivers, should just pass them on I think, but here's a way to get most any Mac to print to most any printer on an XP machine...

  • Won't boot from Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive

    I am told to run DISK UTILITY as I get the "No Mountable File System" error for EVERY DMG I try to install. (Install works fine on my 2nd MacAir so the DMG is not damaged.) However DISK UTILITY does not fix this issue.
    I am trying to boot to Disk Warrior 4.2 on my Apple MacBook Air SuperDrive. Holding C down for 10 minutes on reboot does not work. Selecting DVD SuperDrive using the REBOOT | OPTION KEY option does not work.
    Any ideas?
    My thanks!
    ~P

    Sorry, but the current Disk Warrior CD will not boot the recent MacBook Air models. See:
    http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html
    The only way to run DW on your system would be to boot the MBA from an external hard drive with your MBA's version of Mac OS X and DW installed on the drive. IF you don't have one available you can use, if there's an Apple Store in your area they may be able to help. Otherwise, you may have to reformat your MBA's hard drive.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    if your printer is supported to be published in the Internet, you may able to do this. If it is not supported and if the Printer is not in the same network or directly connects
    to your Windows Server 2003, I’m afraid that there is no method to setup.

  • How can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    how can i stream video and audio from macbook air to my tv?

    Wirelessly: you need an AirPlay - enabled device such as an AppleTV.
    Wired: if your TV has an HDMI port, you need a Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter such as this one:
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI® Adapter w/ Audio Support
    If your TV does not have an HDMI port you will need a converter that will convert HDMI input to whatever input your TV requires.

  • How to unistall windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp?

    Dear all,
    I'm from new macbook user. how can i remove windows 7 from macbook air bootcamp? After removing windows 7, can i use free partition (windows 7 bootcamp) from Mac OS?

    In OSX use the BootCamp Assistant again to revert the partitioning back to one single OSX-volume.
    That deletes the Windows partition and reassigns the used diskspace back to OSX.

    I tried to migrate information from MacBook Air to ...Pro and it seemed to have taken files from folders on desktop as none exist on Air now.  As to where these files are, I don't know.  It has also taken my pictures from iPhoto to unknown destination. ??

    If you used migration assistant then it probably created a new Login user and placed the migrated files under it.
