  • My 4gb SDHC flash mem card is stuck in DVD slot on my iMac 27". How to get it out?

    I misplaced my 4GB flash memory card (Canon camera) in the DVD slot (above the card slot) and it disappeared while I was trying to get it out. Naturally I inadvertently (spelled "stupidly") knocked it inside and could not figure out how to get it out. The dust rubber "shields" hide it and I've tried to find it with a toothpick and wedge it out, to no avail. Are there any ideas or suggestions others may have used to get it out (I know turning it on it side and shaking won't work). Why in the world did they design it like it is -- I've had it happen to me and others have also told me of their misadventures, but they also were able to gradually get it out. This time, it's in too deep. Can I ignore it and still use the CD/DVD slot without it blowing up?

    You might need to take to an Apple technician or apple dealer to let them take apart the iMac and remove the flash memory card. if you're very careful you might try a pair of needle nose pliers and a flashlight but it's easy to do damage to the DVD internal mechanical if you're not real careful.
    A good story to tell your grand kids maybe ;-)
    Good luck

    How do I get  camera memory card out of the DVD slot?

    Well, for one thing it shouldn't be in the DVD slot. You can try turning the computer on it's side and see if you can coax it out, but otherwise you will need to take it in for service because the computer has to be disassembled.

  • Help!! -- I just Stuck an SD Card Into My CD/DVD Slot

    Oh Man!
    Stupid me ... without being careful and without looking I thought I was putting my SD card into the SD slot on the right side of my iMac. Instead I aimed too high and have slipped it into the CD drive.
    Any suggestions on how to get it out?
    Thanks

    Thanks to this thread I was able to recover my SD card - and save myself a lot of time, money and hassle. The bent paper-clip tactic worked fine. After unplugging my iMac and tipping it over I got the bugger out on my second attempt! Darn stupid sticking it in there in the first place though having the two slots so close together doesw create something of a risk of this happening...

  • HT204392 Mistakenly dropped media card into DVD Slot..How do I get it out?

    Help, dropped a media card into my DVD slot.  How do I remove it?

    ok..I was able to remove the media card by propping up the computer on its side on two 4x4 lumber, then reached
    in the slot with a thin feeler guage and pulled it out.  The slot has a flexible boot of sort which inhibits the
    media card from falling out. 

  • SDHC card in the DVD slot

    A co-worker put an SDHC card in the DVD slot of our work's iMac.  How in the heck am I supposed to get it out?
    Let me stress: A co-worker.  Not me.  Seriously.

    Some people have had luck by shutting it down, unplugging it, and then holding it with the slot down and very gently shake it a bit. Or, take it to the Genius Bar!
    Also, please make sure your profile is correct - it's showing a PPC and a very old OS.

    You'll be pleased to know you're not the first (or last) to do this .
    Have a look at this old thread, Cathy 1956's tip on page 1 seems to work for a lot of people:

    Worth reading the whole thread as other people have chimed in with other ways of extracting the disk.

    I have (trying to 2 things at the same time) inserted an SD card  in the DVD drive and can not see it any advice, the machine is a imac 3i

    First problem is that SD cards go into their own slot. If you put it into the CD/DVD slot, you need to extract it. Do a search in these forums for sd card in dvd slot and peruse the hits.

  • My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

    My iPad 3 microsim card slot is stuck or jammed. Manually cut micro sim is stuck inside the slot. I can't open it. How to proceed?

    If they can't extract the SIM without opening the iPad (which no service center is authorized to do), and you can't manage to get it out yourself, then you'll probably have to pay Apple's out-of-warranty replacement price and get the iPad replaced. Use of a cut-down SIM is not covered under warranty.

  • An SD card accidentally fell into the DVD slot. Any easy eay to retrieve it?

    An SD card accidentally fell into the DVD slot of my imac. Is there an easy way to get it out ?

    If you are extremely careful you may be able to use gravity to remove the SD card from the optical drive slot. Here's how I did it using two people, one to hold the iMac, and one to gently guide the SD card through the optical drive slot. Do so at your own risk. Take it in to a trained professional if you have any concerns about damaging the iMac.
    1) Carefully inspect the optical drive slot. Recessed inside the slot you will see a grey cloth looking 'cloth' cover over the slot. This cover is split down the middle to allow the disc to pass through. It helps keep dust out of the iMac. It it this cover that you will need to open in order for the SD card to be removed.
    2) Place a towel onto a table to protect the iMac's finish.
    3) Ask your helper to turn the iMac on its side resting on the towell for support. The iMac's optical drive slot should be hanging out over the edge of the table so that you can access it.
    4) Use a couple of business cards or a stack of 6 Post-It-Notes as a tool to slide into the slot to locate and remove the SD card.  IMPORTANT: DO NOT insert the paper tool more than 1/2 inch into the optical drive. The paper tools must not touch the optical pickup assembly.

  • HT204384 I mistakenly put my SD camera memory card in the dvd slot on my iMac.  Any ideas on how to get it out??

    My small SD Card was mistakenly put in the larger CD/DVD slot.  I cannot eject or pop out.  I can't see it.  I turned computer off and tipped on side to see if it would fall out...no luck.  How can I remove it from the inside of the CD/DVD slot?

    Then you should do a little research, start with a search of this forum, you will find many successful removals of the SD card using this method. It's easy to find them, just look on the right side of your screen for the heading 'More Like This'
    Here is a link to the first one. Memory card & how to retrieve from  inside iMac!!
    The fact that the optical drive is a sealed unit means that your solution will not help with removing the SD card from the drive, unless you were going to suggest breaking the drive open, after dismantling the iMac. Which is a very difficult task.
    Bad advice I would say.

  • Clogged DVD slot

    I accidentally put a SSD card in the DVD/CD slot (the SSD slot is right below it). I cant get it out despite turning the computer on its side, using a paper clip. Any suggestions?

    I've heard using a credit card can work to extract stuff stuck in the DVD slot.
    The other option is to make an appointment at an Apple store and bring the iMac in to see if they can help.
