Mini Disc stuck and won't eject!

My friend just stuck one of those mini-disc things into my DVD/CD slot. (You know, those mini versions of a cd)..anyway, I've tried doing what Disc Utility said to but its not working...PLEASE HELP!!

Your best option...
Get a thick piece of paper and fold it in half.
Tear that in half and stick it in all the way.
Try to get that behind the disc.
It should pop right out.

  • CD stuck and won't eject

    I inserted a cd in my Macbook Pro but it has stuck in.  The CD icon is not shown on the screen either.  Finder hangs up when I open it.  Please can someone help.  Many thanks, Monireh

    Reboot and hold down the trackpad button.

  • A CD is stuck in my MACBook pro: doesn't show on desktop and won't eject from iTunes?

    A CD is stuck in my MacBook Pro, doesn't appear on desktop and won't eject? Help?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    To force eject the CD, hold the trackpad while your Mac is starting, so it will be ejected.
    If it doesn't work, hold Command and S keys while your MacBook Pro is starting, and type:
    drutil eject
    exit
    If it doesn't work, the SuperDrive is damaged, so it has to be replaced at an Apple Store or reseller. A cheaper way is to get an external disc drive

  • New Mini - Firewire plug is stuck and won't come out

    Hi,
    This is a virtually new Mac Mini; A firewire plug from my 20" Cinema display is stuck in the firewire port and won't come out. (I'm trying to disassemble this mini to move to another location.)
    I'm trying very hard not to pull too hard because I don't want to damage the firewire port. But I don't know what to do - it's just stuck and won't come out.
    Any ideas? Many Thanks,
    Frank B.

    Well, I finally got it out after fiddling with it, and walking away several times. I had to make sure I didn't damage it, so I approached it very gingerly.
    How did I get it out? It's amazing what actually worked. What worked was grasping ONLY the firewire chord about 1 to 2 inches away from the plug and pulling Only on the chord straight out.
    Doing it this way, it popped out with very little resistance. Strangely, the Apple Cinema Display firewire plug almost seems to click when you plug it in.
    So I immediately tested a generic firewire plug (non-Apple related) and it plugged in and pulled out with no problems or resistance whatsoever.
    "This completes my test of the Apple Cinema Display Firewire plug." (a joke there)

  • CD is stuck and won't load or eject, what should I do?

    I inserted a cd into my macbook and it won't load and won't eject. It just keeps making the noise like it's trying to load. I tried turning my computer on and off but that didn't help. Any suggestions?
    thanks

    Turn off your computer then on startup hold down on the trackpad.

  • Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?

    Help! How can I take out the mini-disc stuck in mac?
    I insert it into the mac, but the OS cannot load the disc and the disc cannot be ejected even i pressed the "eject" button.

    This happened to a family members macbookpro. A mini-cd inserted, couldn't be mounted or ejected by the drive.
    I cut a rectangle from a cereal box about two inches wide and 6 inches long. Abour an inch and half from one end in the middle I cut a notch and bent it down a little.

    I then inserted it slowly into the drive notch down and slowly pulled out. I did this few times and caught the mimi-cd and removed it. The drive has worked flawlessly for several years
    A few days after this happened I was in BestBuy and an Apple rep was there displaying new Apple products. I asked him about it and he said they have a tool that ***** it out.

  • Mini Disc stuck in CD player & printing question

    I have a mini disc stuck in the cd player. I've pushed eject multiple times, but I don't think that it reads that it is in there. Is there any other way to get it out?
    Also, how do you "print selection" like on PCs?

    Mini DVDs _are not compatible_ with slot-loading optical drives like the one in the MPB. Some users have reported success in extracting mini DVDs from the optical drive by inserting a business card with double-stick tape at the end, then pressing the eject key, and carefully pulling the disc out. Else, you may need to visit an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider for repairs. These will not be covered under warranty.
    Print selection is application-dependent. Some apps (e.g. Microsoft Word) support that feature (there's an option in the print dialog box), others do not.
    You can take a screenshot of part of the screen (Command-Shift-4) and print that.

  • My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

    My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode.  I responds to nothing.  iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It doesn't sync.  I've tried to restore and got error 1429.  Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off.  I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead.  Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

    To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
    Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
    Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
    See this Apple support Article on the 5Rs.

  • My ipad mini was overheat and won't turn on,

    my ipad mini was overheat and won't turn on, i brought it on apple service center in trinoma, mall in manila philippines, i wish they replace it or repair it, they said it may take 2-3 weeks for me to know the findings, i've been using my ipad in 6 months, anyone here experienced this problem? thanks

    If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode:
    1. Turn off iPad. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, slide to turn off.
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune (make sure you have the newest version of iTune)
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • I have sync my ipad touch, and asked to restore it.  It is stuck and won't finish

  • What do you do if you can't press your power button, because it's stuck and won't move?

    what do you do if you can't press your power button on the ipod touch, because it is stuck and won't work?

    Believe it or not, if the power button is not related to a more serious issue. You can take it to an Apple Store, remember to set a genius appointment at http://www.apple.com/retail/,  and get it unstuck for free, or call 800-676-2775 for help. If its more of an issue, they will tell you at the store and how much it will cost to repair if your device isn't under warranty. Also, you can trade it in for credit toward a new ipod touch. Hope this helps.

  • Disc is stuck in drive and won't eject

    I have a brand new iMac which I purchased over Christmas, 2009. I was loading up software from various discs when one would not eject. I've tried everything:
    Dragged the icon to "trash" and let it go over the eject icon.
    Pressed the "eject" button.
    Pressed F12 upon start up.
    Held down mouse upon start up.
    Went to Disk Utility and clicked "eject".
    Nothing worked!
    Is there a hole that can be used to eject the disc manually like what was available on the G4s?
    If anyone has a solution, please let me know.

    You could try looking here:

    But personally I would take it to an Apple store, you don't want to break the drive by accidentally doing something wrong. (Eg leaving small bits of cardboard in the drive).

  • Mini disc stuck in my imac

    How do I remove a mini disc that is stuck in my new intel imac? the eject button is useless. <Edited by Moderator>
    Thanks
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    You could turn it on it's side and hope that it falls out, but you'll probably have to take the iMac to your local Apple Service Provider or Apple Store and have them extract the disc from it.
    Have a look at your Intel iMac User's Guide:
    *Chapter 2 page 21 say's:* +It can write music, documents, and other files to standard-size CD-R,+
    +CD-RW, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD±R Double Layer (DL) discs.+
    and *Chapter 4 page 50 say's:* +Use only a _standard size_ disc.+
