How to open the disk tray?

Working with an old G4 tower, and OS9.
No eject key on the keyboard, and the eject option in the menu at the top is greyed out.
F12 doesn't work either.
I can get it open by going via iTunes, but surely there should be a less convoluted way of doing this?

Hi-
"Open tray" does exactly that, opens an empty tray.
"Eject" dismounts a loaded disk, and then opens the tray.
If you don't have an extended, or Pro keyboard (which has an eject button, which also opens and closes the tray) opening the tray is done manually- push the button on the tray cover. Thats how I did it for years in OS 7 thru 9...
Pushing f12 should eject a cd/dvd, if there is a disk to be dismounted. If not, nothing happens.
Holding down the f12 for for a period of time is for OS 10.1.2 and later.
See this for other magic keys:

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

I can't open the DVD tray

I can't open the DVD tray. There's nothing inside. I hear a sound (a grrrr) but it won't open.
I had that 2-3 times in the last 5 years and I always managed to open it by pushing the "DVD ROM drive open button" while I restart but not this time.
I also tried to put a paper clip in the little hole but that doesn't work either.
In the Apple help site, they say push the "eject media key" on your keyboard; I didn't know where that is but I know now it's the F12 key; when I push it I hear a sound coming from the tray (like a electric screwdriver) but nothing happens.
So what can I do ?
I saw that Andrew Favret had the same problem in October and Don Archibald said:
• Boot or restart the machine, immediately press the Option key, keep it held down. This will bring up Startup Manager. Once Startup Manager has finished loading, press the key combo Command-. (Command-Periodkey). This should open the tray.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I tried the "Option" key. The Start Up Manager appeared: A display with my 5 drives in the middle, and a Right Arrow icon on the right.
I did click on the right arrow and it started to load normally as it does when you turn the computer on.
So I try the whole thing again and now instead of clicking on the right arrow, I tried the command and period key. I hear again, a sound coming from the tray and I see the icon for "eject" on the screen but nothing happens. Tried 5-6 times. And the F12 key don't have any effect at this time.
If I had a disc in the tray, I'm sure the icons for the DVD drive will appear but the tray is empty.
Not sure if there's a relation but I just upgraded that same day to a new version of iTunes (from version 7 to 8.0.2) and 3 other upgrades: QuickTime player (from 7.1.3 to 7.5.5) Plus Java and Security something.

Usually there is a CD/DVD in the tray that won't eject, but you say the tray is empty. Are there any other users of you Mac, especially kids? Someone may have placed something in the tray that is causing the jam.
Here's the usual fixes.
First try a Restart while holding down the mouse button.
If that doesn’t work, look at these links:

YOU CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION --------- BECAUSE POWERPC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED.

Hello
My problem when start (game) i see this error YOU CANT OPEN THE APPLICATION --------- BECAUSE POWERPC APPLICATIONS ARE NO LONGER SUPPORTED.
mac book pro 2.2gh i7 Mountain Lion
Please help me

Power PC applications - which your game evidently is - are not supported by Mountain Lion (or Lion, for that matter). You either need to make a partition/disk which runs Snow Leopard and run your game from there. Or you need to update your game to be compatible with the current Mac OS.

HI HEMANT THIS WAT I GOT AFTER RUNNING COMMANDS....

Iogear and tiger, can not open the cd tray

I have the iogear miniview that was working great with my old g4 and xp box, but now I have a g5...great of course, and it does work well, I can see my USB drives, etc.
BUT..... when I try to open the cd tray with the keyboard arrow, it doesn't work. I have to plug my apple keyboard directly into the computer to get it to open the tray.
Not the worse problem I've encountered, but I would hope there is a work aorund, anyone know?
thanks!
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Try "Terminal" found in Utilities. Type in at the prompt <man drutil> (without the chevrons). This will list a set of usefull commands for intracting with cd/dvd drives. The one to try for opening the tray ( or ejecting a disk from a slot drive which of course has no tray) is <drutil tray open>.
I use laptops and found this (drutil tray eject) to get a disk out of the unfamiliar G5 of a friend before we found the
"eject" key on the keyboard.
Have also found <drutil getconfig> helpful to get information on a problematical dvd writer.
I personally keep "Terminal" to my admin accounts because of its danger potentials.

OS 10.4, non-Apple keyboard, How to open the CD tray?

How do you open the CD tray with OS 10.4 and a non-Apple keyboard?
F12 used to work but this was changed in 10.4 to trigger the stupid Dashboard.

F12 does not work for me, but I accept that if other people can make it work, then I need to figure out why it doesn't work for me. Glad to know there is a solution on the horizon.
Regarding adding the CD eject control to the Finder menu; that's a great idea. I should have remembered that was possible. For reference, the location of that menu add-on and others is:
System/Library/CoreServices/Menu Extras

Itunes application can not be open the disk can not be read from or writte

itunes can not be opened the disk can not be read from or written to. That is the warning i get when i click my itunes to open it. Problem...
there is no disk:) i have no idea what this warning means.. i have restarted and nothing.. i updated itunes and same warning.. there is no disk in the drive at all..
infact i made sure i was in a room with no other disks.. Help??

A few things to try:
• Restore Permissions, using Disk Utility (in ~Applications/Utilities)
• Set the correct Ownership & Permissions for the iTunes folder:
Select the iTunes folder in ~/Users/YourUsername/Music.
Get Info (command-I).
Expand 'Ownership & Permissions' and 'Details:'
You must read: 'You can Read & Write': if not, change it.
Click on the 'Apply to enclosed items...' button.
Hope this helps.

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door. Am I missing something? Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk? Please help. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi penguin247,
Regarding your questions:
1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
Link to picture
2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

I cant open the iworks 9 in snow leapord os 10.6.8

i cant open the iworks 9 in snow leapord os 10.6.8.

Thanks Fruhulda,
I recently upgraded my ios from tiger (10.5.8) to snow leapord (10.6.8), owing to which my iworks9 had to be reinstalled. I had taken a back-up of iworks in my hard disk and once the new ios was installed, I transferred the file back to the mac. When I try to open pages, numbers or keynote I got a message saying that this programme cannot be opened because of a problem, pls contact apple.
Kindly suggest.
Just few minutes back I downloaded a iworks9 trial version since most of my files are in numbers, keynote and pages format and needed to access them urgently! I can access the numbers and pages files, but the keynote files cannot be opened. I still get the 'because of a problem' message.

My phone has died and I cant open my sim tray to get the serial number... Please help

If you ever synced to your computer, you can find the serial number in iTunes, follow the steps in this article:
iOS: How to find the serial number, IMEI, MEID, CDN, and ICCID number
If you can't do that, visit an Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service Provider and see if they can open the SIM tray.
