I'm unable to eject a CD from my Mac.

I'm unable to eject a cd. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

Try, - dragging cd into trash (trash can will turn into eject button), ejecting from finder, right clicking and selecting eject. If these fail, then try restarting your mac!

How do you eject speakers properly from your mac?

How do you eject speakers properly from your mac?

speakers (3.5 mm out) do not matter how they are removed, just unplug them and you will be fine
when this happens, Mac Core Audio (you dont need to know about it, but an important part) will look for another output device, and your internal speakers are likely to start playing
if you use USB or FireWire speakers, there is a possibiliy that they use some sort of strange arbitrary driver
in that case, go to system preferences> sound> output> and select something else than the speakers in question.
then you should be able to unplug at will.

Unable to Eject Garmin GPS from MacBook

After connecting my Garmin GPS 62SC to my MacBook to acquire updates on-line, I am unable to eject because the camera within the GPS is re-recognized by the MacBook as soon as it is ejected.

What about changing the way iPhoto sees the GPS? Do this in iPhoto Preferences / General.
The options for "Connecting camera opens:" include No application.
The downside is that if you do connect a regular camera you will have to do some work.

How to eject a DVD from Power Mac G5 CD/DVD drive?

I already know the trick about holding down the mouse button while the computer starts up, and whatever is in the CD/DVD drive will eject. But that does not work in this case, because my computer will no longer startup. No startup chime. The power light comes on, and that is it. It is possible that the DVD in the drive may be causing the problem, because I can hear the computer checking the drive at startup, and then the startup sequence stops. Besides I need to get the DVD back to the movie rental place.
My old PC had a small hole that you could insert a paperclip in to force a CD/DVD drive to eject, even with power off. I don't see that on this computer (Power Mac G5 [late 2005]).
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Hello,
See if iTunes can eject it.

Might try this...
>On your main hard drive, dig down into System > Library > CoreServices > Menu Extras. Inside that window, double-click on the icon called Eject.menu.

And one more way I'd not heard of...
The old iMac didn't have a disk inside, but the mechanism was "frozen" for some reason. I took a long strip of plastic and ran in and out of the superdrive slot; eventually, the drive made that familiar mechanical the usually occurs after ejection.
Can't eject disk - with a twist!

I can't eject a disk from my MAC

I was trying to download a disk to iTunes last night and it locked up. Not just the disk, but iTunes has locked me out completely as well. I went to the finder and saw the disk listed and clicked for it to Force Eject, but nothing happened. I also went to System Preferences and clicked on CD/DVD and now it too is locked. What now?
TIA for the help!

Yes tbirdvet, it's plugged directly into my Mac Mini.
Thanks IIIaass, I couldn't find the link to the Super Drive troubleshooting. I'll give it a try.
By the way, I did another restart in an effort to eject the disk and on start-up the disk did NOT eject but is now displayed on my desktop. Hopefully it was just a minor glitch.

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:

I am trying to install a language disc. I clicked on the installer. It ran for a long time without installing. I click stop installing and it says it is stopping but is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or stop anything.

I am trying to install a Portugese language disc. I clicked on the installer icon and it said it was installing, but it ran forever without doing anything. I clicked "stop installing" and it says "stopping", but it is doing nothing. I am unable to eject the disc or do anything because it says an operation is in progress.

Please provide some info on the disc, where it comes from, who made it, etc. Also tell us what version of OS X you are running.

Cannot eject external devices from Macbook Air.

For the past few months I have been unable to eject external drives, and volumes from my Air. I click on the eject (pyramid) icon, and nothing happens 100% of the time. I need to go to disk utility to be able to eject. Rather annoying.
Does anyone have a suggestion, and hopefully something less drastic than a complete os reinstall?

Hi, an example if this behaviour for me is when iTunes is running and playing music from my NAS, it will not allow ejection of that share. This might be the same with cable-connected external drives. Try making sure that any app that uses files on the drive is shut down and then retry the eject from Finder.

Try ejecting the disc from your Disc Utility program, which can be found in the application folder.
