Small Disc into the disc drive problem due to it now being stuck!
My little sister borrowed my Macbook this morning and was uploading software onto it and it came on a small disc - she didn't realise but said disc wouldn't work on my laptop and just shoved it in. Now it's stuck.
I'm sure other people may have had this problem, anyone know now how to get said disc out of my disc drive without damanging it....
Most reports are that you can take it to an Apple Retail Store and they'll extract it as a courtesy. There are several in your reported area. They could conceivably charge for it though. It might be helpful to get an appointment, but you might not need one. You could just call ahead and ask if you should get an appointment or just walk in.

Recently I bought a MacBook Pro, the first time I entered a disc into the disc dive it wouldn't load up in Itunes - just kept freezing; and the disc drive made a lot of noise, how can I fix this?
I've had my mac for less than a month and for the first time I put in a disc. I can hear a laser sort of noise as well as the disc flapping about or a motor sort of sound? Sounds really bad to me :/
Someone please help!Sounds like a hardware issue.
Did you buy the system from Apple? If so how recent is recent? If it is new you have 14 days to return it, not sure what the situation is with refurb systems. If it is over 14 days you should still have warranty support make an appointment at an Apple Store or contact Apple support.
If you bought it from someone other then Apple you will need to contact them.
good luck

DvD will not mount but cd-r will When I install the the disc into the super drive the format box (disc utilities) comes up which is not the same box that comes up when installing a cd-r. I check the priference settings under general and it is set to show on the desk top.
Not yet will have to get one from a freind. I bought a stack of the Sony DVD+R and that is all I have.

Can't insert a CD/DVD into the disc drive. Recently installed a new 1 tb hard drive, and the CD/DVD drive hardware is no longer recognized. Also, with new hard drive, OS was updated from Snow Leopard to Mt. Lion 10.8.5 on late 2007 MBP (2.2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo. 4 GB 667 MHZ DDR2 SDRAM)
Also, when I check out the hardware list, under Disc Burning - the following is reported: No disc burning device was found. If the device is external, make sure it’s connected and turned on.
The disc drive worked fine prior to the HD upgrade and OS update to Mt. Lion. -

Alternatively, you could try some of these suggestions (at your own risk of course):

Today, I did a stupid things that I inserted a small size DVD disc which is a user manual for my sport cam. However, it doesn't give me any response nor ejection of the disc. I really have no idea how to take out the disc from the optical drive. Could anyone help this out? thank you very much. CY
Your not the first (if knowing that helps). There's a fairly lengthy disussion about similiar situations in the link below. Perhaps there's something in there that will help. Good luck with it.

Can I safely insert a 3 1/8" mini disc into the drive slot?
Please advise.
Someone at my house inserted such a minidisk into the CD drive on my MBP.
Darn right, it does not mount, btw.
Anyone got any ideas or advice on how to get the mini OUT of the drive. The slot on the computer has those fuzzy fringes, makes it hard to see inside.
Thanks. -
About a week ago, my mother tried to place a DVD into my MacBook Pro while it was still closed & sleeping. Of course it didn't anything, but allowed her ignorant self to push the disc quite far into the disc drive. Once opened & woken up, the disc drive responded & operated normally, allowing my family to enjoy another great episode of Hanks & Speilberg's Band Of Brothers... UNTIL, the following day I opened it up & it began to make that "sucking a disc into its slot" noise, quite a few times before quitting... It hasn't damaged my MacBook Pro to my knowledge, I even put the DVD back in to insure that the drive hadn't been broken, but continues this process EVERY SINGLE TIME I try to open up & utilize my top-of-the-line Apple product. I've tried to restart/shut down my notebook, but this hindrance proceeds to linger. Also, I've began to worry that the amount of times the optical disc drive performs this mechincal process could cause future damage. Furthermore, it's a bit of a nuisance when trying to stealthly get on my MacBook Pro at night and end up waking up everyone... I have also upgraded to OX X Mavericks 10.9.1, could partake in the problem at hand? I would greatly appreciate suggestions & hope someone knows the direct solution to this problem!
Thank you for your time Apple Support Community, I truly appreciate it...
Robert D. H.Damage was done when your computer fell. Your warranty if you have one and Apple Care do not cover accidental damage. Your only alternative is to take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
NOTE: If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with. They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them. -
Can i introduce a mini disc into the cd slot.
I need to install a router which comes with a mini disc. Will the mini disc work ? can I put the mini disc into the slot? will it get stuck?
NO you can't use it in the Apple optical SuperDrive and, YES, it would likely get stuck.
You really need an external drive with a tray, rather than a slot loading optical drive.
Sorry,

Videos I burnt to disc on my pc won't play on my macbook, when I insert the disc into the macbook it says it's blank but plays fine on the pc, does anyone know how to fix this? The photo's I burnt on the exact same type of disc work fine in both pc and macbook but the videos will only play on the pc.
If you are trying to play these on quicktime then what video format are those videos?
Wmp's? You need to install Flip4Mac.
Most other formats? Install Perian.
Or just use vlc instead. It's a much better, more powerful, and more general video player. -

I have a MacBook Pro and someone has inserted a mini disc in the disc drive and I can not eject it or even get it to read, How can I remove it?
Sounds like to me that you have a bootcamp partition with Windows and have the default Windows to boot first.
I think there is a Windows Control Panel or other setting while your in Windows to set the OS X as the first boot option.
Also in OS X there is a option under the System Preferences to set OS X as the first boot option.
