    How can I solve a CD that won't eject?

    Press the mouse while your Mac is starting until the disc is ejected. If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your Mac is starting, and type:
    drutil eject
    exit
    If this doesn't work, the disc is stuck and your SuperDrive has to be replaced, so take it to an Apple Store or reseller. Another option is to use an external disc drive.
    If the last step doesn't work, other steps won't work because there isn't any app using the disc

    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

    to repair it I ended up removing it.

    Never seen anything like it.  Do iPads get virus'?
    Thanks for any help.  I've never used this before.
    Linda

    There are no viruses for the iPad. Close the mail app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Mail app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • I purhased an apple usb cd/dvd and I have a cd disk that won't eject even after going into controls and selecting disk eject any ideas how I can take of the issue?

    I have a cd disk stuck in my USB super drive, it won't eject even after going to control and selecting eject disk

    Hi BCservant,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that it can be concerning when you cannot eject a disk from your external drive. There are a few troubleshooting steps that I would recommend to help you get this situation resolved. Please use the attached article for troubleshooting information.
    Get help with the slot-loading SuperDrive on your Mac computer - Apple Support
    Doesn't eject discs or discs eject slowly
    If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to be struggling, insert and eject a single disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc that increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
    If the disc will not eject, try pressing the eject key on the keyboard. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject discs.
    If the disc will not eject, try dragging the disc icon to the trash.
    If the disc will still not eject, try holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
    If the disc continues not to eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and try steps 1-4 again.
    If the disc still does not eject, contact Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, or make an appointment with an Apple Retail Store for additional assistance.
    Best regards,
    Joe

  • HT1379 I have a DVD that won't eject in my iMac intel computer..any suggestions

    I put a DVD in mi imac to burn, but now it won't eject, tried a variety of things,but no luck..any ideas?

    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.
