Unable to eject DVD

Tried RESTART.
No ICON on Desk Top

If the drive does not eject discs using the F12 or eject key on the keyboard.
If the disc will not eject try dragging the disc icon to the trash.
If the disc will still not eject, holding down the trackpad or mouse button after restarting the computer should also eject a disc.
If the disc continues not to eject, reset the Power Manager (PMU) or System Management Controller (SMC) and try steps 1-4 again.

  • Unable to eject DVD after Win7 upgrade on Satellite L series

    I have finished the windows 7 upgrade.
    Everything went smoothly except thta at the end I was unable to eject the windows 7 upgrade DVD.
    Using the push button on it, or right click on the lector then eject, nothing happens.
    Should I look for drivers and where?

    Hi
    You dont need any drivers for that
    If the CD/DVD drive is connected properly then you should be able to eject the disk without any big troubles maybe something clams somewhere
    There is a tiny hole near the eject button use an small object like staple or something like that and put it carefully into this small hole. This should help to eject the disk.
    Cheers

  • Unable to eject DVD from drive - tried all troubleshooting suggestions

    Tried ejecting DVD using eject button on keyboard, using disk utilities, restarting computer and holding down mouse. Nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions for getting a DVD out that was inserted backwards and is not being read by drive?
    Thanks!

    Did you solve this problem? I seem to be in the same perdicament. My DVD-drive has vanished completely from the OS after I inserted a seemingly harmless dvd. And now none of the usual tips work.

  • Pavilion dv31075us laptop unable to eject DVD

    I need help getting a DVD out of my CD/DVD drive. My laptop does not have a manual eject button. CD/DVDs are ejected by right-clicking the drive in "my computer." However, "my computer" does not recognize this Windows upgrade DVD. So, it looks like I have no way of ejecting this. 
    Does anyone know any tricks or loop-holes? I'd love to not have to have my laptop taken apart to eject a disk!
    Thanks!

    dv3-1000 Series with Slot-load optical drives, should have Eject Button as a part of the Quick Launch Buttons..If that has not worked....Than try the below...
    Power on the system, Tap the ESC key, that will take you to the Startup Menu... Over there try and use the Quick Launch Eject Button and check if it eject the disk, if not, That press the F9, that will take you to, Boot Manager, check if the optical drive is listed there...

  • Using an early 2011 15 inch macbook pro to watch a rented dvd. the screen displayed a skipping over damaged section message, then the dvd froze. first unable to eject the dvd, now it can't be inserted. Hardware prblm? reset the superdrive?

    I was viewing a rented dvd when a "skipping damaged area" message was shown and then the dvd froze. At first I was unable to eject the dvd with the eject botton though the superdrive made "ejecting" noises, and followed the cue "finder using dvd" and ejected it. Now the drive will not accept any dvds. Does this sound like a hardaware problem, or is it possible that some sort of "reset" needs to take place?

    Before wasting your time heading to your local Apple Store, try resetting your SMC.  It doesn't work all the time, but sometimes it's just the thing to save you time.

  • A dvd is stuck in my MacBook Pro, and I am unable to eject it.

    I recently used my MacBook Pro to watch a dvd, and I am unable to eject it.  Has anyone else had this experience, and can offer a solution that doesn't require a $29 visit to the Genius Bar?

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Unable to insert dvd in drive

    unable to insert dvd in drive

    some 2 weeks ago, someone in this forum was making desperate efforts to insert the optical support, could not do it, at last opened the rascal and found an x-dollar coin in it. Check whether the same there. If not a coin, perhaps another disk. what happens if you press the Eject disk key on your keyboard, I assume there is one on that generation.

    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:

  • Unable to burn dvds

    I am unable to burn dvds. I'm attempting to backup my iphoto library. When I drag and drop I get an alias icon on the dvd, it does not copy. When I go ahead and try and burn, the disk is ejected and i get them message, "an error has occured" This is my first attempt at burning a dvd.
    Do I need additional software?

    Do you use PLUS or MINUS media?
    Take a look at system profiler whether your drive is capable of writing the format you have chosen.

  • 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.

  • I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

    Hello all,
    I'm unable to burn DVDs on my MacBook Pro 2.16 GHz, 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM running 10.4.8. When I go to burn a DVD I get one of two codes 0X8002006D, 0X80020022, why is that a 3,000 CPU cant burn a DVD. My Mac is total up to date with all software and firmware. I saw in the Discussions that I'm not the first person to have this issue but I don't see an answer from Apple, I'm pretty sure it not the DVDs (Memorex DVD-R 16X) because my ****** pc can burn them and it was a 100 pack that I used about 50 from it that I burn on both Macs and the ****** PC. I also have a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5 with 2.5 GB DDR SDRAM running 10.4.8 which is also unable to burn them and it also comes up with the same errors. I have not had this issue until I updated my Macs to 10.4.8, PLEASE HELP.
    Thanks,
    Coons

    Yes I can play CDs and DVDs but I was not able to burn a 4.01GB folder, I have since decreased the folder size to 3.75 and was able to burn the DVD. I'm creating another just to double check, my G5 was unable to complete the task and I also gave a shot at a 2.77GB folder and it failed I also gave a 200Mb file a chance but it still did not burn. I was able to burn the same 200MB file on a CD, PLEASE I NEED HELP.

  • 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.

  • I  have a Mac Pro running OS X 10.8.2. Frequently the system fails detect a CD. Doesn't seem to make a difference if it contains music or is blank. I am unable to eject the CD. The system just doesn't recognize that a CD has been loaded.

    Step one, boot the new MBA into recovery mode (CMD+R on startup), launch Disk Utility, wipe the HD, and restore the OS. On reboot, use the Setup Assistant to do the migration. Details in Pondini's Setup New Mac guide.
