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 do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac?
How do you move iMovies from MacBook Pro to iMac? I started some projects on my MacBook Pro but would rather have the larger working area provided on the iMac large 27 inch screen.
Hi there rainyri!
The easiest way for you to do this is to transfer the information to an external drive as an intermediary, then transfer the information from your drive to the internal drive on your iMac. We have an article that explains the steps for doing this, and it can be found here:

How do I remove Virtualbox from Macbook Pro?
Remove virtual box!
I am having slow issues with Mavericks since I updated. I have plenty of ram. I posted a thread and this person helped me and found virtualbox on my computer. I have never used windows on my computer. I was told by apple store to buy more ram for the slowness of my computer spinning disk when i type or open a program. I think removing virtual box will help but we are having a hard time removing it. After trying a few things he said "VirtualBox is still hanging around, and loading extensions, at this point you need 'hands on' help to remove it, this method isn't working.” Anyone know how to remove virtual box from a mac? Thought I would try one more time! and here is some more info. Thank you so much

How to Clone Hard Drive from Macbook Pro to Macbook Pro with Retina
Hey everyone! I had a question about cloning my laptop's hard drive. I was considering buying a MBP with Retina, but was wondering how I would accomplish copying over my current hard drive to the retina, as I know you can't take out the retina's hard drive, and it is flash. Any suggestions?
Connect the two with a Firewire cable if they both have Firewire ports (or use Thunderbolt if the both have Thunderbolt ports.) Boot the new computer into Target Disk Mode and the old computer normally. The new computer's disk drive should appear on the Desktop of the old computer.
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new computer's drive Source means the old computer's drive.
Be sure the old computer is running a version of Mountain Lion that is later than the version installed on the new computer. After cloning you will probably need to run the new 10.8.2 updater for the new computer. OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2 Update for 13" Macbook Pro with Retina Display, 21.5" iMac (Late 2012), Mac mini (Late 2012). -
How do I get audio from MacBook Pro to Samsung monitor?
MacBook Pro - I've just bought an S27b550V Samsung monitor to connect to the MacBook Pro but even with hdmi adaptor and usb connection can only get video. I set sound control to recognise the usb output but still nothing but a faint muted sound from the monitor. How do I get audio to work?
I don't think that a USB connection is going to do anything - as you've a Mac with a Mini DisplayPort that, I don't believe, will carry audio over HDMI, you'd need to use the 3.5-mm analog/optical combo jack optical jack to get video to your Samsung monitor.

How do I move contacts from macbook pro to iPad mini
How do I move my "contacts" from my MacBook Pro, to my iPad mini
Not sure exactly what you mean by "move" (or what the circumstances are), but the easiest way to get those on the iPad would be to sync them via iCloud (turn on contacts in iCloud on both devices).

How do i transfer information from macbook pro to macbook air
Apple Genius recommended transferring the files on my macbook pro to an external drive and then to my new MacBook Air. How do I do this? Migration Assistant doesn't seem to proide for this.
Step 1
Make a clone of the old mac. I could type all the steps but this article has pictures. Read it.
http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_make_bootable_clone_your_mac
Step 2
Hook the clone to the new mac and fire it up. During the setup it will ask to migrate your data, select "From Another disk" and then select your clone. Your mac will do the rest.
Question to you, have you already started your new mac and entered your cloud stuff? -
How to eject cd at startup macbook pro 17 2011
I used to be able to hold down the trackpad button to eject a cd at startup, but I don't see how to do that with this model.
OK. You have a MacBook Pro, right? On the new model, on the keyboard, at the very top row, even after the letters AND numbers, in the top right key, it has a line below and a triangle on top. That means "eject". Press it. It should work, and an icon on your screen should pop up and then any CD that was in your computer should come out. If this doesn't work, then I'm sorry. I did the best I could on giving you advice. Thanks for reading this!!

How to uninstall iOS 5 from MacBook Pro
I made a big mistake last night by downloading iOS 5 to iTunes on my wife's MacBook Pro. After reading the new
iTunes Terms and Condition and checking over the features we do not have any need for the iOS 5 on her iPad2. I
did not have the iPad2 attached to the MacBook Pro so the iOS 5 has not been installed; however, it will be installed
the next time I attached the sync cord.
How can I remove the iOS 5 download from the MacBook Pro?
We do not want ot use the Cloud for anything. She likes having her iBooks stored on the MBP and have no interest
in having the address book or picture in a Cloud.I bit the bullet and installed iOS 5 on my wife's iPad2 then proceeded to turn OFF all Cloud related options and everything is working great. It is there for those that want it and can be turned OFF for the rest of us.

How to delete back up from MacBook Pro?
I recently gave my old MacBook Pro to my daughter. To make sure all the APPs etc stayed on it I simply created her a user account with admin rights and deleted my user account. The problem is now half of the hard drive seems to be full of back ups which I am assuming are from my old account. I had always backed up to an external hard drive via Time Capsule.
How can I delete these from the old computer to free up space for her ?Those are 'local snapshots'... they will 'self-delete' after one week, so there's nothing to worry about. When you delete data, the snapshots of that data remain for one week and then they're gone (along with the data that you trashed).
It's just a TM 'safety net'!
